CUBA'S BIG DEBT,

Perhaps the big debt of Cuba hasn't received the attention it merits in the discussion of the situation. It is near ly $500, ,000, ,000, and is as disproportion- ate to the size of the island as Rhode Islands State house is to the size of Rhode Island. The New York Adver- tiser thinks that this debt is an insu- perable obstacle to autonomy, inde- pendence, or even a return to Spanish rule. Spain could not administer the island under the double burden of in- terest charge on the enormously swol- len debt and the extravaganza and cur ruption inseparable from Spanish ad- ministration. Taxation for this pur- pose would be more ruinous than war; yet Spain could relieve the island of no part of it, as she has no other resources to pay interest on the debt. Most com plete autonomy would remove only the smaller part of the difficulties. Even if relieved of the cost of Spanish ad- ministration and given a free hand in commercial and revenue legislation, the Cubans could not tax themselves heavy enough to pay interest on the debt without complete ruin of the trade and industry of the island. The only solu- tion of the problem, the Advertiser says, is a reorganization scheme fol Spain and the sealing down of the Gu ban debt-a process which will work no hardship to holders of Cuban bonds who must have got them at a big dis count.

THE SITUATION.

There have been a few comparatively quiet and peaceful days, but there is again @ feeling that crisis is at hand. The report of the court of inquiry will probably be in the Presidents hands soon, perhaps by tomorrow, It will not be made public until the President is ready to have it made public. Some of the wise ones think that will be ear ly next week.
 There is nothing for "the people" to do now except to wait and refrain from foolish talk and foolish excitement. It is evident that the President and his advisers are steady, and are wisely and manfully doing their duty. There will be either less or more uncertainty soon.

 Nothing so Effective as Inference Mrs Scandal-"Of course, Dr. Ripper I mention no names!'' Dr. Nipper- Certainly, madam; quite right, quite right-where none are necessary. Iris practice, believe, that has received the sanction of the very best gossips.' Brooklyn Life.

out this crunch. In these soft mate rials we shall choose delicate colors, violet, pale yellow, rose, chatrause green-almost ball colors-and of such shades we will make reception, theater and church gowns. In other words, gowns that we are likely to wear on the street while we go to and return from festivities.
 The same goods creep indoors, too. One of the softest of the new cashmeres was used for the pretty house dress shown herewith. Its color was navy blue, and it's taffeta lining was that most swagger of shades, orange. The bodice was of small plaid silk in which pale green and pale blue predominated, and it's short basque was edged with pale blue chiffon frilling. The same chiffon was used for yoke, collar and vest, all of which had blue silk lining. The edges that border the yoke as we'll as the fronts were trimmed with blue chiffon outings. and the epaulets were of pleated plaid silk. Pale blue bows dotted the front.
 Royal blue, the shade we used to call mazarine, is to be worn lot. Royal purple, too, is abundant, and toques of royal purple are worn with anything, just as punches of yiolets are worn with any costume or are added as a suitable elaboration to any hat. Pur- pie plumes punched softly together are seen on black hats, and are effective. Royal blue is used in the same way. The attempt ot combine the two roy al" shades usually creates a scandalous riot in colors though occasionally it is done successfully. FLORETTE.

WRY NOT NEV HAVENs

The two new cruisers which have been bought by the United States from Brazil will of course be renamed with good United States names, and it is ex- pected that they will receive the names of two cities. The cities and towns which have been already distinguished by having warships named for them are Hartford, Atlanta, New York, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Boston, Charles ton, Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbia, Min neapolis, Newark, Olympia, Philadel- phia, Raleigh, San Francisco, Detroit, Marblehead, Montgomery, Bennington, Castine, Concord, Helena, Machias, Nashville, Wilmington, Yorktown, An- napolis, Marietta, Newport, Princeton, Vicksburg, Wheeling, Jamestown, Portsmouth, Saratoga, Pensacola, Richmond, St. Louis, Omaha. Thus it appears that forty American cities and towns are represented by ships in our navy.
 It is perhaps not time for clamor- ous competition for the honor of hav- ing the good old name New Haven attached to one of the new ships, but it will do no harm to call attention to the fact that it would look well, sound well and be as thoroughly appropriate as any of the names.

PATRIOTIC PIGEO FANCIERS.

The patriotism of the people is in- tense and there are many evidences of it. An interesting evidence is the ac- ton of the carrier pigeon fanciers of Philadelphia, who have offered the navy department as many birds as may be wanted There are five thousand homing pigeons in Philadelphia, all ready for action. There are really thirty thousand homers in and about the dove cotes of the city, but only five thousand have age and training. Some of them hold championships for long distance flights. The method of utilizing the pigeons by the navy would carried on board each of the warships, one cote from each town or city with which it might become desirable to communicate. Before or after a battle or even during an engagement, should the commander of a ship or of the fleet want to send word to the national cap ital, or to any other place he would simply cause the message to be writ ten on the light paper that is used for the purpose and fastened to the bird whose home loft was in the town near- est to the point where information was to go. When the homing pigeon ar- rived, the message would be at once put upon the wire and sent to Wash ington, or wherever it was directed. This would be the way the thing would be done if it were done, but whether pigeons could safely make their way to land if far out at sea, or whether, indeed, they could get the direction of the nearest land under such circum- stances of distance, or the smoke and confusion of battle, is problem in bird craft as yet unsolved.
