is finished with q ruching OF the material, put
on scroll fashion, and the scrolls and borders
OF applique embroidery embellish the bodice
and outline the close fitting upper part OF the
skirt. The V-shaped bodice is decidedly
original. the right side being plain and slightly
full and outlined by q border Of the embroid-
cry. while the left side is fulled into a strap Of
black velvet ribbon. Knots OF black velvet
ribbon on the shoulders and O belt Of the same

As to color. yellow and pink continue TO DO
much in favor. but white In thick and thin
goods holds the supremacy for evening wear.

Some Very Radical hanEe This Season in

There are many radical changes In the au.

COAL SUPPLIES.
Secretary Long Sends a Request to
CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Secretary
Long sent to Congress to-day for in
clusion in the urgent deficiency bill an
estimate of an appropriation of S30o.-
600 TO be Immediately available for the
equipment of vessels in the navy for
the present fiscal year. and for the i'm
mediate supply of 10000 tons of coal
to Key West. The report accompany
ing the estimates shows the bunker ca
paclty of the ships of the navy now IN
the vicinity of the Dry Tortugas and
Key West is about 1900 tons, ana
the storage capacity of the coal sheds
at Key West is about 4 1900 tons.
The largest vessels of the fleet, the
Secretary says, cannot approach near
er than seven miles of Key West. AT
present they coal from schooners at
Tortugas and at other places near by
when they are permitted. There is one
fiat lighter with a capacity of 5000
tons now at Key West. This is lot
suitable for use at any distance from
the port. The report concludes as fol-
lows:
THE bureau believes it for the in
terest of the service that additional
temporary coal sheds should be con-
structed on Government land at Key
West, which will increase the storage
capacity there up to 10000 to 1900
tons, and that lighters be purchased
which may be towed anywhere within
a radius of sixty miles of Key West
Also that at least 10000 tons of coal
be laid down at Key West ready for
an emergency. The appropriation for
equipment for the navy is inadequate
for these purposes, and in order that
the bureau may be able to execute
the necessary contracts at once l rec
ommend that Congress appropriate
100000 additional to be Immediately

CRUISER MONTGOMERY.
She Has Been Ordered to Relieve
the Fern at Havana.

WASHINGTON, March THE Navy
Department announced at o'clock this
afternoon that the cruiser Montgomery
would relieve the dispatch boat Fern at
Havana, and that the Fern would carry
provisions and relief supplies to Ma

be a satisfactory arrangement TO the
Spanish Government and relieves the in

The decision of the Navy Department

This conclusion was reached after con-

rs FRANCE AIDING SPAIN?
Such Question Broached in Lon
don Circles.

NEW YORK, March "A copyright
ed cablegram from London to the
Evening Post" says:
Special inquiries in official and finan-
cial circles to-day show that of the
many grave difficulties pending in Chi
ma, Japan, West Africa, the Nile and
elsewhere, the most serious view is
taken of the American-Spanish rela-
tions. AT the American and Spanish
embassies the utmost reticence, of
course, is shown. They pretend to
know nothing, and it is noteworthy, in
view of reports that the Armstrong;
have sold cruisers to Spain, that the
Armstrong; Board has given express
instruction that no questions are TO be
answered regarding their dealings with
British or foreign Governments. Vary
ing conclusions are drawn from this
refusal to confirm the denial of the
Spanish purchase from the Armstrong;
What cannot be denied is that the
Armstrong; have had relations with
Spain since 1856, have built several
cruisers to Spains order, and now have
vessels in stock that could be sold if
money We're forthcoming.
Is French money helping Spain? Two
of the first financial houses We're asked
this question this afternoon. Their re-
plies may be grouped thus: Nothing of
the kind has been definitely arranged,
and obviously, seeing the large French
financial interests in Spain. French
hnanclers viii be most anxious to keep
Spain from war. but it is equally GER

however desperate, was the only es-

would be the quarter whence money
would be sought, and beyond doubt OBJ

been definitely settled
The fact is probable that Spain is
anxious to buy ships, and that the

can see the money. The French finan-
ciers are not eager to advance the nee
essary money so long as by holding
