Gen. Woods Remarks Con-
corning Government for
Cubans.

Guantanamo, province of Santiago de
Cuba, Nov. 11.-Gen. Wood, governor of
the military department of Santiago,
who IS now in this district in the course
of his tour of inspection along the
coast, visited today the town of jam
aica and also two sugar plantations
where troops are stationed. The visit
proved exceedingly interesting, showing
not only the fearful effects of the last
three years of internal struggle, but
also the prosperity that is gradually re-
turning.
Senior Perez. who has been appointed
by Gen. Wood as mayor of Guantana-
mo, called toward dusk upon Gen. Wood
and reported his experience during the
first days of his mayoralty. Gen. Wood
said to him in the course of the inter-
view: "You Cubans are now on trial
before the world, and you must show
what you are able to do in the matter
of self government. The Americans
would be pleased to give a stable gov
eminent to Cuba in the course of IL
months. Let us see If the Cubans are
able to govern themselves or it will be
necessary to make some other arrange
ment.
The Americans are now doing every
opportunity to display the administra-
tive ability they have"
Cen Wood, who in the course of the
day appointed several other civic Off
cials, left shortly before dark for Cal
manera, on board the Hist. He will

WOmen's Gowns.
No longer is it required of the fash

mated Kaleidoscope. The coloring Of
the new fall gowns is, on the whole, sub
dued. There are plaids in plenty, to be
sure, but the colors have lost much of
their vividness, and the plaids most in
favor are those in softened tones.
AL the shades of castor are to be the
vogue among the best dressed women
These shades vary from a deep cream
tint to color which the uninitiated
might call brown. They arc very ef-

relieved by a gay touch Of color.
All the vivid startling greens are not
as much in favor as they were last
spring. There are many dun greens,
some of which show a grayish tint, and
for certain gowns sage green will be
fashionable, combined with black.
A deep. rich red will be much worn
for coats and tailor-made costumes,

Gray, which not long ago belonged eX-
