forms which are prescribed by their Governments.
 General Miles plans for a general change in the uniforms of the United States army have not yet taken definite shape; but he has satisfied himself re- garding decorations which he considers appropriate for the commanding officer, and has received permission of the Sec retary of War to adopt them for his own uniform.
 General Miles has gold embroidery to the sleeves and collar of full dress coat, the design being a delicate trac- cry of oak leaves. He has abandoned epaulets entirely. and instead adopted the flat Russian shoulder knot, without fringe. bearing the coat-of-arms of the United States and the two stars fn- dicating the rank of major general. To this is added a belt of Russian leather, piped with gold and embroidered in oak leaves, to match the design on the collar and cuffs of the coat. A sash of alternate stripes of yellow and gold, eX- tending from the right shoulder to the left side, completes the new features of the new uniform.
 General Miles appeared in his new uniform for the first time at the Presi- dents reception last Wednesday even ing

Evidently the Situation Is Serious at the Cuban
 Capital.
Although the State Department Declares the Cruise Is Only a Friendly Visit, Trouble
 Is Predicted.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-War talk is rife tonight. Never since
 ] the complications in Cuba first ! assumed proportions has there ] been so much talk of possible trouble between this country and Spain as there has been since Secretary Longs an ] nouncement that the Maine is headed toward Havana. This action is naturally taken as most significant. The State and Navy departments are busy denying that there is any change in the situation down there and in re- iterating that there is special reason for the visit of the battle ship-that it is nothing, in fact, but a friendly visit, such as a ; vessel of any country is liable ! to pay to a friendly port at any ] time. But it is the conviction ] here among those whose judg- ment is most valuable that noth- j ing short of truly alarming news
 would have induced the admins | tration to take this step at this | particular time. Whether it is ' due to the fear that the cable ! from Havana might be cut, leav- | ing Consul General Lee where . he could not be in communica- l ton. either with the Government | or with the squadron at Key [ West, or to threatened anti | American outbreaks, can only . be surmised. There is, however,
 4 certainly something serious.

Xinita's Big Stores.

1t is doubted if there is SO large a
per centage of good stores IN any ytown
in the United States. One of the
reasons why this is the case is found
in the fact that until recently the
trading privileges were controlled by
the Cherokees exclusively, which has
had tendency to concentrate the
trade, and build up big stores. An
inspection of the offerings in any is
sue of THE CHIEFTAIN will show that
purchasers are not suffering in con-

j. M. Lining is in from .Alluws to-

money never reached this Office, and
the inference is that Bowers, the as

has just been sent to the penitentiary,
got the letter and its contents, as it
went through that Office. Mr.. Linn
