ON THE GREES YEsrERDsy

Several things were apparent on the Green yesterday. One was that the people of New Haven have not been scared by Thomas Robert Ma1thus. Another was that when the old town born" are all under the daisies they will have multitudinous and worthy successors in the new town born" Another was that everybody was hav- ing a good and inspiring time Another was the dragon banner of the Chinese floating over yellow men f1anked by lovely white ladies. And last but not least the little drum major, who whirl- ed and tossed and caught his staff like veteran of all the wars.
 It was a great show and even ''prob- ably light showers" took few hours off in honor of it. It was something more than show. It was a most stir ring and impressive illustration of re- ligious tolerance and patriotic harmo- ny. we nope some or the old Pll- grims or Puritans who used to pasture their cows on the Green and generous ly and fervidly consign to the bottom less pit all who didn't walk in their narrow path were looking down yester- day and seeing the little Congregation alists, the little Methodists, the little Episcopalians, the little Baptists, the little Lutherans, the little Roman Catholics and the little Jews prancing gaily along in the same procession, waving the flag of the free and un- shadowed by religious bigotry.
 The Sunday School rally should con- tinue to be a feature Of the Memorial Day exercises and should include all the members of the Sunday schools who are not too young or too old to walk and wave flags and cheer. And it is especially fitting that the old New Ha- ven Green should be common meet ing ground for religion and patriotism.

ON TO CUBA.

The indications now are that those who have been clamoring for real war; will soon have a chance to read about some. The bottling up of Ger vera's squadron sets the military man. agers free to carry out the plan for the invasion of Cuba. That invasion may have been already begun, and exciting news may be expected soon. The other day General Blanco sent word to General Miles that he would give him as pretty" fight as he could ask for. General Miles did not make any reply to the message then, but Blanco will probably soon hear from him by special messenger.
 Perhaps Porto Rico will also be in- vaded soon. There is talk of four sepa- rate military expeditions, and there is successful concealment of the plans This is well. There is no reason to doubt the successful outcome of the military operations, and the people are more willing than they were to wait patiently for news. They are tired of big tree headlines and beyond those nothing.

 selection, if necessary. Make 1t over
 again with a touch of orange silk or velvet covered with heavy lace of ivory tinge. This Is quite the latest idea. Indeed, the touch of orange seems more than ever the required novelty. A blue ground and white figured foul ard made with yoke bodice and wide belt, the two of orange taffeta mounted
 with ivory lace, will suit all occasions
 Let the yoke come out for the dance.
 The dress the artist puts here was
 one that would stand comparison at
 any summer resort, no matter how dressy were it's visitors. Of silver gray taffeta, it's blouse waist fastened at the side, where it was cut into scrolls
 edged and embroidered to follow the scrolls outline with darker gray silk. The deep yoke also appeared in the
 back and consisted, with the collar,
 of ivory lace lined with orange satin. The skirt was trimmed with three ruff fles of the silk, which dipped in back
 and rose to a point in front. It is to
 such arrangements as this that the | inoffensive Spanish fiounce has come.
 Some women didn't endorse the f1ounce in it's most simple form, and in ex- | r.I T l. will have few adopters, though such a skirt will surely endorse it's wearer as one of the advanced set. Women who don't like trimmed skirts in any form should take comfort, rather than dis tress, from the highly wrought models.
 These have appeared very quickly, and that means that before very long a turn will be made toward plainness.

CRAFTY CERVERA,S FLIGHT.

A week ago there would have been "great enthusiasm" over definite and truthful news of the bottling up of all or some of Cervera's ships. There have since been so many and such wea- rying yarns that the tired people are only capable of feeling great satisfac- ton" with the good news that has final ly come.
 It is entirely in keeping with what has gone before that there is still some indefiniteness about those elusive ships. There were seven of them at Curacao. Teresa and two torpedo boats have been seen in the harbor of Santiago de dore Schley believes that the others are there. It is also asserted that he be- lieves they will never get home.
 It is supposed that at Santiago de Cuba the Spanish ships have been coal ed, cleaned and repaired, and that they are now in good condition to fight and be sunk or captured. That is, good
 condition for Spanish ships. The con-
 dition they were in at Curacao is de- scribed by Captain B. s. Osbon of
 Brooklyn, who was at Curacao when the ships were there. He says: The Spaniards were in bad way. They were so short of rations that the off, cers had been living on beans for four days, and the men on half rations. They were so short of coal and provi- sions that their usual water line was a couple of feet above the water at the bow I took two photographs which show that clearly. The bottoms of the ships were all overgrown with long punches of green sea grass. One tor pedo-boat destroyer had four masts,
 and I counted thirty-four men on her | decks. There were probably more be- low The other boat had but three AIdstS, anu iie'o oNlueAliy ioSt oue. I1er | foremast was held up by stays, as it | were. I saw thirty-eight men on her deck. It was rumored that the flagship had had a gun disabled in some way.
 I know they left one gun carefully cov- cred with canvas, so it could not be
 seen. The men of the ships looked hag- gard and discouraged. The negroes | hooted them when they went ash ,:e,
 and I did not hear one answer. I never
 heard them raise cheer or make any
 demonstration as our sailors do when they get ashore.
 We suppose there is bare possibility

A peculairity of caste in Cuba is thus explained in the Chautauquan: A Spaniard was born in Spain. His son.
 who was born in Cuba is not a Span iard, but Cuban. If Cuban should go to Madrid when he was two weeks old and spend all his life in the palace he would still be Cuban, and not quite as good as Spaniard. If a Span iard should go to Havana when he is two weeks old and spend all his life in that city or upon plantation he would still be a Spaniard and enjoy dis tinction and social position which a Cuban can never attain. The sons and daughters of a Spaniard are Cubans if they are born in Cuba; but the sons and grandsons and great-grandsons of a Cuban must always be Cubans, no matter if they were born in Madrid

CHAMBERLAIN SAYS GERMAN
TREATY is SIGNED

can Topics and FavOrs Our Retention
of the Philippines.

NEW YORK. Sept. S-The Tribune
says:
Joseph Chamberlain said frankly to a
Tribune reporter that the treaty with
Germany had actually SSeS signed. thus
making 1t known TO the world for the
first time that such an alliance had been
made
Dispatches from England yesterday
made 1t clear that In that country II was
still matter OF conjecture whether there
was any true basis for the reports that
England and Germany had come 10 an
understanding. Moreover, while not
stating 1t in so many words, for the rea-
son, as he explained. that he did not wish
to appear presumptuous. Mr.. Chamber
lain made It clear that the English gov
ernment favors the retention of the Phil
ippines by the United States.
When Mr.. Chamberlain was asked as
to the opinion he held regarding the most
advantageous course which the united
States could pursue regarding the Phil
ippines, he replied. automatically:
However much would like to talk
upon this matter. must not do so, for
the simple and sufficient reason that
anything 4 might say In that direction
might seem like giving advice or sugges-
tion to the United States by foreign
statesman, and that, besides being in
vidious would be impertinent"
Leaving, thereupon. the direct line of
inquiry, Mr., Chamberlain was asked for
his opinion in the abstract as it were.
Then 1t became apparent from Mr.. Cham
berain's conversation that he viewed the
holding of the Philippines as an advisa-
BILE course for America, both from na-
tional, naval and mercantile outlook.
