The most notable feature about the fall and
winter styles for children is that they make the
wearers look like big people grown little. Els.
pecially Is this true OF the gowns for everyday
wear and dressy occasions. Every right-think-
ing mother Of q small daughter is at present
much concerned about what her girl shall wear
to school.
Ofcourse the first thing to be considered is
the material. There was a lime when mothers
generally believed that tho big sisters cast-off
gowns should BIO made into frocks for little
sister. They never stopped to conslder that
nine times out OF ten tho material was utterly
inappropriate for a little girl and made her APP
pear ridiculous in her own eyes as well as those
Of her schoolmates fortunate enough to be only
daughters. This is not the case nowadays.
Times have changed and fashion demands

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The follow

Department today: The following is a
copy Of the report made by Rear Ad-
miral Sampson, concerning the action
of San Juan de Puerto Rico:
Upon approaching San Juan it was
seen that none of the Spanish vessels
were in the harbor. was therefore
considerably in doubt whether they had
reached San Juan and again departed
for some unknown destination, or had
net arrived. AS their capture was the
object of the expedition, and as it was
essential that they should not pass to
the westward, / determined to- attack
the batteries defending the port, IN
order to develop their positions and
then without waiting to reduce the city
or subject it to regular bOmbardment
which would require due notice, to re-
turn to the westward.

was good daylight. This lasted about
three hours, when signal was lEade tc

modore Schley's dispatches were dated
off Clenfuegos. Absolutely nothing
definite can be said, was the reply which
Captain Chadwick, of the New York,
made to the question as to what had
transpired.
Since he heard of Admiral Cervera's
arrival at Curacao, Sampson has re-
peatedly said he believed the Spaniards
would go to Cienfuegos or Santiago
When the ships of Schley's division
were sailing out of Key West, under

Admiral set this signal to Captain
Phillips, of the Texas: You are going

OSince then Sampson has been cruis

modore Schley would bottle up the
Spaniards, either at Cienfuegos or San

modore Schley by the enemy, and any

1t may be stated upon the best au-

decided when to begin the Cuban in

concerned, whether to attempt the oc-
cupation at all or not. In other words,
the plans are in tentative state. subs

WASHINGTON, May 27.-After the
cabinet meeting today it was author
itatively stated that although the Gov
ernment had no official information on
the subject, there was ne reasonable
doubt that Admiral Cervera's fleet was
In Santiago harbor, and that Com
modore Schley is on guard at the en-
trance.
It was also stated that any contem-
plated movement against Cuba or
Puerto Rico would be held in allegiance
until the Spanish fleet was either de-
stroyed or otherwise rendered helpless

any direction.
