FADS OF FASHION.

Jackets are shorter than heretofore,
although longer models are by no means
discarded.
The blouse has taken such o hold ON
the fashionable fancy that it appears
everywhere.
There il nothing more desirable than
the medium length, trim and stylish
jacket. 1t gives perfect freedom and is
essentially the business woman's wrap.
The demand for fancy velvet is some
thing prodigious. Entire costumes are
made Of it, and enormous wraps, large
enough to cover a woman up bodily,
are built from this material.
Bourettc, camel's hair fabrics and the
slightly rough surfaced materials to
which SO many popular grades of suit
ing belong are extensively used by the
best tailors for handsome costumes.
1t is said that there are ten distinct
shades of reddish purple aside from the
tone used in bishops robes. This eccle-
siastical purple is a most elegant and
attractive shade and i'll fine goods is
simply superb.
Plain velvet in combination is much
approved, and this, with satin, will be
much more in demand during the i'm
mediate future than the two sorts of
wool goods that some designers are try
ing to introduce.
Every sort of fur will be worn during
the coming season, the preference being
given To the short. thick ones, which
are Tor many purposes much more
dressy. Entire blouscs are made of fur
and cton jackets and getaways are seen.
An entire dress of plaid velvet has a
perfectly pain skirt and a waist with
close sides and a llCuse. effect in front.
The YOKE, belt and high, f1aring collar
are tie CITY Its Ct plain colcr in the
costume. The sleeves fiji the arms to the

GERMANY'S NEUTRALITY.

Washington, June 23.-The reports that Ger
many has landed a naval force AZ Manila are
discredited in the most positive manner az the
State Department and In the best Informed dip
lomatic quarters. II is looked upon as part
Of the persistent foreign propaganda inspired
from Madrid. which for weeks has been seeking
10 stir up animosity between he United States.
Germany. France and other countrie9. That the
report is purely conjectural IS shown from the
fact that there Is no cable communication out
Of Manila and even Admiral Dewey who holds
the shore end Of the cable. has not been heard
from in some days The authorities here take
strong grounds in maintaining that the good
faith Of Germany cannot be questioned. In view
Of the definite statements from the German for
eign Office and from the German Ambassador
TO the State Department. These have said with
the utmost pos.tiveness that Germany was not
only maintaining the strictest neutrality. but
any reports OF uter!or motives on her part were
unwarranted and a rejection upon the
good faith with which that empire deals with
the outside world The officials here regard such
assurances as conclusive. and they will not even
entertain the Idea that the presence Of German
ships in Manila Harbor is a menace. SO long
as there is no overt act or menace. the authori-
ties here will make presumption Of an overt
act but will rely absolutely on the assurances
Germany has given voluntarily
In some quarters it IS suggested that such
serious condition Of affairs might arise at Manila
as 10 lead the foreign naval commanders 10 land
forces for strictly police duty. But. II Is said
by officials that no such condition has arisen
thus far. and that there is every evidence that
Admiral Dewey is strong enough 20 maintain
order and protect the lives an : property OF all
parties concerned. In any event. il IS pointed
out the landing OF foreign force would be
sol lv for policing purposes. In case an insurecnt
raid threatened a wholesale massacrc. and such
police protection would be temporary and quite
dietinct from a we'll defined Government policy
10 secure territory in the Philippines Aside from
the reliance placed on the voluntary friendly
assurances Of Germany the ohcials are confident
that the tact and foresight % Admiral Dewey
will successfully maintain the interests Of this
government and at the same time avoid foreign

Washington. June 23.-The only positive news
coming to the War Department from Cuba up
to the close Of office hours A dispatch to
General Miles from one OF his staff officers and
a brief dispatch to General Greedy from Lieu
tenant Colonel Allen.

casualties save to one Cuban soldier. who had
his arm injured by the bursting II a shell
The troops Of Garcia and Rabi. about 300 in
number. had met the American forces with
enthusiastic greetings.
Stress laid upon the point that the Gu
bans we'll armed and we'll disciplined.
General Garcia was confident that his forces
would be sweed to ten tn ousand men as soon
Santiago fell About the only need among
the Cubans was shoes and Gunne. The dis
patch to General Greely merely stated that
progress was being made in connecting the mill
tary forces directly with the War Department.

ALGER AND MILES GRATIFIED.

Washington. June 23-Secretary Alger and
General Miles were in conference in the Secre-

first Madrid bulletin announcing that fighting
had begun was shown to them. The Secretary
read It aloud with evident satisfaction. and
both men expressed themselves as gratihed with
this favorable report. coming. as it did. from the
enemy.
There was no surprise that the fighting had
begun so soon. Secretary Ager said that no
word had been received indicating that fight
ing in progress. He had reason TO
doubt. however that the troops had encoun-
tered the Spanish forces and had given a good
account Of themselves
He commented or Admiral Cerveras mes
sage that the situation was "critical." and that
the Spaniards had been obliged TO retire in
strange contrast with Madrid's claim Of a
Spanish victory"

would now push forward aggressvely. driving

THE CAMPAIGN AT MANILA.
NO UNFRIENDLINESS INTENDED BY
CHINA IN THE ZAFIRO INCIDENT.

Washington. June 23.-The Chinese Minister
was among the callers at the State Department
to-day. and II inferred that the visit had
reference to the action Of China in ordering the
dispatch boat Zalro of Admiral Deweys feet
away from Chinese waters. The Minister feels
confident there Is some misrepresentation over
the action toward the Zahro. He says China
has the most friendly feeling for the United
States and that the Government certainly would
take no action prejudcial toward this country.
unless It was necessary in the maintenance Of
strict neutrality. lie thinks the only trouble
that may have arisen is due 10 the question OF
authority over certain territory surrounding
Hong Kong. Efforts have been made for some
time to extend the British territory contiguous
TO Hong Kong. The Minister thinks the uncer-
tanty over this territory may have given rise
to some question as to the right OF the Zafiro
to remain in one of the ports Of this debatable
country At all events. China does not want
the incident TO be taken as an evidence Of III
will
The technical reason for the expulsion OF the
Zafro. however. would be sufficient. It IS be-
liev ed. If she undertook to take on supplies for
Deweys squadron at a Chinese port. Neutrality
laws prohibit a bellgerent vessel from returning
TO the same port In a neutral country within
three months. and the Zahro has made. as n
matter OF fact. several trips back and forth
from Manila TO the mainland. The British Gov
ernment in one case was obliged to direct that
the ship should not be allowed 10 take aboard
supplies for the feet or anything beyond a few
luxuries for the officers.

English source at Hong Kong. that the United
States should acquire a coaling station on the
