 the Americans.
THEY FIND 1T TOUCHES THEIR POCKETS.
Responsible, Having Made Fashionable an Absurd sympathy for Spain American Boycott Expected to he Felt in the Fall Trade.
NEW YORK. May aI.-A dispat

NEW YORK, May 2I.-A dispatch to the Herald from Paris says:
 Your correspondent interviewed number of Paris drcssmakers upon the subject of the war between Spain and the United States, NJ. Doueet said he regretted the misunderstanding which had arisen
 A microscopic minority he said, through mere sentimental saobbish- ness has rendered fashionable an ab- surd sympathy for Spain. which by no means share. Quit apart from any question Of interest which, naturally to a certain extent, explains my attitude, l personally feel a great leaning to- ward Americans, who are so 1aborious, so firm of wilt, and whose social con ditions admit equality for all, and who have created an aristocraey of success ful workers which is not surpassed by the aristoeraey of name. l. therefore, assert my entire sympathy with Amer jeans, and deplore what is going on at the present time, though, unfortunate ly, l do not see how 1t Is to be remedied
 NJ Worth said: "It is just as though you had two children suffering from typhoid and people came to ask which you would rather see die. On which ever side their interests lie, French merchants ought to remain neutral If France has more direct business in- terests with America she also has in terests of another kind in which a large amount of French capital is en- gagged in Spain.
 What is your opinion respecting the attitude of French papers, which do not appear to share your views, and which have created such an unfortd- nate stir in America?n
 Il regret it but can not understand that Americans, who are such a sen sensible people. attach So much impor- tance to such lucubrations. It is still more unfortunate that it should have happened at q moment when negotia- tions had been arrived at between the two states 10 obtain a reduction of duties on eeftian French goods to the United States ports.
 "The bad impression produced in the United States by the attitude of France. Mr. Bedfern said, "has not yet produced any ill effects.
 Tt may be autumn before we begin to feel it. IL will be pueriIe not to recognize all the disadvantages to Paris, and to sin particular produced by it. There are evidently two senti- ments totally different in character in play The chiyalrous side of French character has manifestly led the French to sympathize with the weak est, for the final victory of America is beyond doubt

NEW YORK, May 3 A dispatch from Paris to the World says:
 There are remarkable indications in certain Paris journals, hitherto inim- ical, of complete reversal of the French disposition toward America
 The Gaulois, for example extols the cleverness with which Admiral Samp- son has maneuvered, taking advantage of his opponents slowness, to effect a junction with Schley, and thus enable him to divide the forces into two parts
 NJ. Jaures. in the Petite Republique, writes in the same strain of America s admirable attack and defense, which have been directed with energy and life. "
 NJ. Jaures derides Spain for allowing herself to be made the sport of cIer- realism and militarianism
 There is also strong article in the Echo De Paris, signed Henry Baure. calling French hostility to her ancient friends and clients beyond the Atlantic foolish and illogical

TAMPA. Fla, May 24.ZThe time-hon- pred blue uniform of the army is being replaced here by the more somber gray. The cloth used is light twiIIed linen, of gray-brown color, selected after much consideration by the authorities at Washington as most appropriate for tropical campaigning.
 The former heavy obiong shoulder stap is abandoned, being replaced by a triangular strip of white duck, with insignia of metal Fhe collar, cuffs and faeings are also white duck, which. with broad pait in the back and four outside pockets. give more elaborate effect than any field uniform previous ly in use in our army.
 This uniform is not original in this country. as many foreign armies have one similar, both in color design and material Small advance eonsigHments of these uniforms, which will be issued to enlisted men, have arrived at the quartermasters' office here. Officers here hope that the entire army may be outftted before the commencement of actual field operations
