Pique gloves, with one or two but
tons and heavily stitched, are the
fashion for street wear.
Beautiful drawn work doilies have
in the centre butterfly made with
fancy stitches on the drawn linen
threads.
At a photographers where many
pictures are made Of pretty children
and beautiful women transparency
is made with almost every dozen pic
lures. The transparencies Of the
children are particularly attractive,
but the beautiful head OF q woman,
showing the outlines of the neck and
shoulders, is charming.
In the array of handsome silks
lately received are delicate gray corded
silks with dainty figures of roses and
violets woven on their glossy grounds;
white watered silks brocaded with
shaded carnations in delicate tones,
and French silks in vivid colorings,
whose designs are toned by a wonder
ful film-like overweaving, which gives
them a chine effect.
Black moire trimmed very elabor-
ately on the bodice with jet spangled
silk muslin forms very elegant and
very popular gown for receptions, din
ners and afternoon teas. Many women
who have tired of black satin have
taken again to skirts of plain or flow
cred black moire, wearing the bodices
decorated as just mentioned, or with
the popular fancy bodices of every de-
scription.
Silk waists, fancy waists or extra
waists, are just as much worn as ever.
They are too convenient to be given
up. Waists Of this kind give great
scope to individual taste, but the
pouch or blouse in front must always
be feature, though it can be varied
to suit the wearer's figure. The
blouse back is not meeting with mnch
favor. The front can be very full and
quite long or just slightly draped.
A mink collar is made partly of
sapphire blue satin antique, very
much plated, so that it looks like
full ruche around the neck; the mid
die part of the satin, which enables it
to be more closely plated. This col
lar reaches over the shoulders; the
front turns back in long revers, faced
with the mink and lined with the blue
satin. The muff is entirely of fur, but
has gathered ends lined with the satin.
Fashionable dressmakers, both here
and abroad, are making most liberal
use of beautiful artificial flowers that
look exactly like natures own, to
decorate evening toilets, and not few
tichus and bodices are actually smoth-
cred with roses. Large, soft punches
wholly without foliage are seen ON
many full dress toilets, and demi-
trained gowns for bridesmaids are
decorated with rose garlands. or the
flowers are arranged in Empire clus-
ters down each side OF the skirt front.
An exquisite waist was of cesise
satin with jet yoke, jetted black net
draped in the front, plain black net
gathered into folds in the back, collar
aud belt of cerise velvet. The collar
was wrinkled stock with box plaits
of the velvet at the top of the stock
and at the back. and an inner ruff of
of lace. The belt was drawn right
around the waist in wrinkled folds.
The sleeves were mousquetaire, Of
satin. covered with plain net and hav-
ing small puffs at the top, nS set on
separately. but formed from the
sleeves.

Diamond sunbursts, turtles, and
various large and odd designs in
jeweled pins decorated the collar band

or four, were pinned somewhere on

TO the ears Of elderly women.

ALL EUROPE SMELLS BATTLE

London, May 1Z.-Ine ST. James Gazette
says this afternoon:
important signs of the uneuasiness of
Europe of its fear of anarchy at home
and aggression abroad are reflected in
London financial circles. Russia is rails
ing a loan of twelve millions. and. more
significant still, she is raising it in Ger
many. The Bank of England is directing
its energies to the accumulation of
gold reserve. fashion without recent
precedent; while Japan, not content with
the vast sums she received from China
on Saturday is preparing for fresh loan
of fifteen millions. The appFoachment be-
tween Germany and Russia, and Russia
and Austria. is very marked"
All this. the st. James Gazette believes,
portends a combination against America
and Great Britain, las we are univer-
sally regarded as forming part of this
transatlantic aggression on Europe" and
the article warns Great Britain to pre-
pare for struggle which may involve
the most important events since the fall
of Napoleon"
In conclusion the st. Jones Gazette re-
marks: Europe believes America is try
ing her strength on Spain and that her
inevitable victory will be followed by sim
liar acts of aggression towards other
powers with interests in the Atlantic and
the Pacific

MERRILL TO BE GOVERNOR

Washington, May 12.-General Wesley
Merritt, commanding the department Of
the east, with headquarters at the war
department, was today in consultation
with Secretary Alger regarding the prop
osition to assign him to the command Of
the expedition to Manila and on arriving
there to establish a military government
with himself at the head. The general
this morning said the matter had not yet
been definitely determined and would not
be until he had had an opportunity to
talk with the president. General Merritt
is known to be anxious for an active
command and is believed to look upon
his proposed assignment with great favor.
The war department has informed him
that it proposes to send an adequate force
which will enable him to hold the is
lands beyond all preadvanture and which
will amount to between 10000 and $4,000
men. These, the general links, might
be sent in two expeditions, although he
does not believe the first one will get off
for a week.
Washington, May 12.-The United States
will establish a temporary government
over the Philippine Islands. Orders have
been issued for Major General Wesley
Merritt, now commanding the department
of the east, at New York to proceed to
Manila with the least possible delay for
the purpose of assuming the office of mill
tary governor of the Philippines. Similar
orders to proceed to the Philippines were
sent to Major General E. S. Otis, COM
handing the department of the Colorado,
at Denver. who has just recently been
released from duty as president of thte
court martial which tried Captain o. NJ.
Carter of the engineer corps. Orders to
General Otis, direct him to report to Cen
eral Merritt for duty under his direction
in the Philippine Islands General Otis
will be second in command.
General Merritt was at the war depart
ment today in consultation with the sec
rotary of war. General Miles and the bu-
reau chiefs with regard to thte expedition.
Prompt action will be had in the matter
with a view TO having the troops make
an early start on their long voyage across

sci Linnet has arrived here with news
from the Philippine Islands. She left Ma
Mia on Monday last, and reports that the
insurgents are uncomfortable The whole
country, it appears, is in state Of an
archy and Rear Admiral Dewey is pow
erless to restore order.
The officers of the Linnet add that even
If Spanish rule is abolished, it will re-
quire a large force, with special train
ing to restore order in the interior. In
the meantime, the Spaniards in Manila
refuse to submit, and Admiral Dewey is
unwilling to lombard the town. He hopes
to starve the place into submission but
the Spaniards are confident of being able
to hold out. They allege that they have
ample supplies for $1,000 regular troops
and thousands of volunteers, beyond the
range of the United States warships and
they are defying the Americans, in the
hope of European Intervention.
Two German warships, a French war
ship and a warship of Japan are now at
Manila. Russian vessel is expected
there shortly. A strong anti-Brtish feel
ing exists among the populace at Manila
and the people are desperate and starry
ing.

FLEETS MOI YEI LOCALIZED

New York, May ia dispatch from
st. Pierre, Martinique. says;
The Harvard arrived at ST. Pierre Wed
nesday evening and anchored. Inquiries
made OF the men on the cruiser brought
out the statement that she had not sight
ed the Spanish Cape Verde Island fleet.
though her cruise continued for several
| days and covered hundreds OF miles
around the points where the feet would
naturally have first appeared.
A dispatch to the World from London
says:
Some doubt is expressed here whether
the Cape Verde squadron has returned to
Cadiz. especially in view Of the fact that
the report was issued ust about the time
when the squadron was due at the West
Indies, if steaming slowly to economic
coal Sir Donald Curre, chairman of the
Castle line South Africa steamers, which
call regularly at the Canaries and Cape
Verde, when asked whether any of his
incoming steamers had reported having
sighted the squadron said:
mo For my part, 1 believe, however,
the squadron has returned to SPAIN as the
Spanish government has been unable to
on dispatching ships across the Atlantic.
They could not engage the United States
fleet on arriving at the other side if they
had exhausted a good part Of their coal,
as their bulls would stand so high in the
water that their armored parts would be
dangerously exposed
Asked for his opinion as to the forti-
fications of the Canaries with which he is
personally familiar, he replied:
They have been hurrietdIy patching
them up lately, but they are very poor
Notifications at best. I don't think they
could Withstand an attack from a strong
fleet
A dispatch to the Herald from Gibral-
tar says:
ut is believed that the Spanish squad
ron from the Cape Verde islands will join
the one at Cadiz and all move together
about the first of June unless the Ameri-
cans come to Cadiz in the meantime Spain
wants to gain time and have the Ameri-
can troops reach Cuba as far itno the
summer as possible"
