league with the Spaniards against the
Americans. He says:
II will be one of the first to pardon tn,
Spaniards for what they have done to tn,

would be the last TO pardon or forgive tn,
atrocities of Weyler, Balmaceia and other.

of those partisans to have a hand in tn,

political parties which may spring up In

ITO attempt to prohibit the American
people from exercising am influence in the
affairs Of Cuba would be foolish and sui

salmon pink satin is very effective under
the black. There are no buttons, the
cloak being fastened with hooks under
the full folds.
One of the odd features is seen in the
sleeves, made of plain black surahsiu &C.
accordion pleats that hang straight from
the shoulders, full and wide. and long
enough to completely cover the sleeves of
the waist. The belt also is of black
surah, fastened in front with large
rosette.
To wear with this cloak is a round hat
of black straw, with brim turned up
at the back, and trimmed with plaid rib
bons, white silk quilts, and large black
bird.
