difficult to make. a clever amateur milli-
Der finds that, with little expense, She
may have n hat to match every costume.
The feature Of the present-day toque is,
first, its breadth; and. secondly, the high
effect on the left side, together with the
abruptly turned-up side. An example
which is very becoming is made over a
small wire frame; it has q crown and small
edge to this latter, irreg ulaTly pleated, the
lung side 4 yard and quarter OF velvet;
this has a piece of bonnet wire folded in
the edge and pieated with the velvet to
hold 1t out. ON the left side the pleats
are much longer than On the rig ht and are
caught up to the crown, which is made of
the sane piece of velvet as the edge, the

the folds arc lifted up on the side there

trimmed with lace, chiffon or net, which
are msny times traced in pretty designs
with fine beads in bright coloring, tnsel

bodice, of course, has the lead, there are
many waists in draped effects that are
more becoming and consequently more
suitable to the figure of st out proper

The pen may be mightier than the sword,

HAVANA. March 1.-THE Spanish
in Cuba is, in fact, not so strong as the
Madrid Government believes. and the
order sent TO General Weyler TO with
draw some $4,000 men from the field
for the purpose of sending them TO the
Philippine islands has disclosed one
Of the biggest frauds perpetrated by
Spanish officials since Cuba has been
under the rule of Spain. Fifty per
cent. at least of all the losses in the
army. incurred either in battle or by
disease, has not been reported to the
Madrid authorities.
Nevertheless the pay of the dead
soldiers and the money for their pro-
visions and clothing have been regu-
larry charged 10 the Spanish Govern
ment and pocketed by the cashiers of
the battalions in accordance with an
understanding existing between them
and the general intendant of the fin
ances Of the army and the Captain
General.
Such is the actual fact Since Cen
eral Weyler landed in Cuba, thirteen
months ago. il is estimated that more
than SIS 200 600 has been stolen in this
way from the treasury out of the $780,
900. 1000 provided for the maintenance
of the army
When the Liberal press of Madrid
made its energetic campaign against
General Weyler a few weeks ago this
fact was revealed. but the Govern
ment received such an indignant pro-
test from the Captain-General that
Canovas himself was deceived. and de
fender Weyler. Some journalists were
arrested. but the accused Captain.
General remained in office Canovas
undoubtedly believes in Weyler's good
faith. and conceived the idea that 15.,
600 men could be easily spared from
Cuba if the regular army, reported by
Weyler, was 160,00 strong.
But. in fact the regular soldiers Of
Spain in Cuba number little more thar
100000 able-bodied men. All Others
are either sick in the hospitals or have
been killed by the insurgents or BY
disease. To Withdraw $1,000 men un-
