NO CHANCES TAKEN.
The War Department Is acting on tho
theory that It is not polite to take any
possible chance OF serious reverse near
Santiago The latest information reach
ing the authorities here shows that the
Spanish army is greater than has been
estimated thus far. Lieutenant Joyce.
OF the regular army. reported TO General
Miles to-day. giving much information
as 70 the number and location Of the
Spanish troops. Before Joyce entered the
United States army ne had served with
General Garcia, and had trayersed good
part Of Santiago province. He was on
the ground only a few weeks ago, leaving
there In April, and al that time he had
opportunities to get an accurate idea Of
the Spanish forces at the eastern end Of
the island. He reports the number at 81
CO., OF which 1900 are in Santiago. 1900
at Holguin, and 1900 at Manzanllo.
Once concentrated at Santiago. this would
make u formidable army, Dut separated
by forest and mountain, the insurgents
are expected 10 keep the forces at Hol-
guin and Manzantllo.
ODD SITUATION.
Among the curious features Of the sltu-
alton to-day was the opening OF direct
communication between the Spaniaros in
Santiago and the outside world over the
French cable through the medium of an
American censor. This was effected to-
day by the restoration of the cable circuit
running overland TO Playa del Este, where
the cable running across to Cape Haitien
begins. SO far, only test messages have
gone through over this circuit, but it will
be open TO ordinary business that is able
TO pass successfully both American and
Spanish censorship.
NEW NAVAL VESSELS.
The Navy Department has acquired the
| fine steamship Pedro. which was declared
a prize, having been captured by the
Nashville early in the war. She was
bought, subject to prize liens, and was
to-day named Hector, and ordered to be
converted into collier. The steamer
Morse King, just purchased, has been
named the Rainbow, and changed into a
distiner, to supply the fleet with pure
| water

is wonderful to note how much less the gowns are costing this winter than last Women who spend 150 francs upon an ele- gant dress here are now content with half the sum, and those who have been always modest in their outlay are spending little.
 At home all is prosperity, but here poor France is in trouble.
 Notwithstanding this fact you see great deal of dress and gaiety. The new fad to which reference was made is the fad Tor white or very light gray, so light that 1t looks white.
 Have you particle of aluminium in the house? If so lay it against piece of dark cloth and observe how white 1t looks. Aluminium gray is the fashionable color this year, and it is contrasted with the darkest materials.
 Although the rule is for trimmed skirts and ruffled waists you see a great many gowns which are perfectly plain relieved only by their exquisite lines.
 One of these was observed the other day upon a woman who was making a calling tour The dress was light gray aluminium ladies cloth lined with russo green. This is beautiful rich color betweeen olive and lettuce green. It is almost too brilliant for gown, but it is very beautiful for lining.
 RUSSE GREEN.
 The skirt was made very tight fitting around the hips with such fulness as there was thrown to the back although there was not great deal of fullness. It was so long that 1t touched the street all around, which was very bad for the light gray cloth and the delicate russe green.
 T he jacket was a small cut-away affair, with tails rather long in the back. The sleeves were tight-fitting and perfectly pam, and the waist was relieved only by four very large buttons, for which you Will pay $5 each at home. They were lovely mock" gems.
 4.s 1t was cold, the caller wore a small cape with tall collar of imitation baby Per- sian lamb This is a new imitation fur, which is almost as costly as the real Her hat was a dark green velvet shape upon which were piled many dark green ostrich plumes. She carried a dark green walking umbrella.
 The dress of one of the hostesses upon whom she called was worthy of mention. It was also of aluminium gray, but the material was thin cashmere lined with dark reseda cashmere. The lining was to give cling to the skirt; and as she walked 1t absolutely clung around her figure and was very becoming.
 A small house jacket of receda velvet was worn. The jacket was trimmed with passementere put on around the edge and up the back; the back of the collar was trimmed in the same way. The throat was relieved by great many bows and rufies of chiffon.
 FOR AFTERNOON.
 A young woman who was giving an af- ternoon tea elected to wear a dress of very pale green cloth almost white. Her sister, who was assisting her wore almond brown cloth. Almond color is a new shade that is almost white. It is sort of hazy white which, to the old-fashioned eye, would look like dirty white. but 1t is very fash ionable this year.
 Nias callers out q tsp who dron into

fashionable households in the afternoon wear gowns of very light hue. One of these was russe green with the skirt trimmed with many narrow ruff1es. These ruffies curve upward in the back and end almost at the belt line.
 The waist was ruff1ed down the front with the ruffies turning up under the arms, and coming up little in the middle of the back, to look like bolero. This dress was lined with cashmere and was a warm suit, although 1t looked light and pretty
 It is only for little while that the fad for the light dress continues, then it is time to put on the long fur garments and the heavy weight cloth; but just now it is sort of between season and winter fingers in the lap of autumn long time.
 The new skirts are four yards wide To be sure this is not wide as the crino- line skirts, but it is very wide indeed. The latest trimming for them is silk braid, which is very expensive. I am told that it can be purchased at home for forty cents yard After 1t is purchased 1t must be ruffied and the ruffies sewed around the skirt. At least three of these ruffles are needed to trim the skirt; ten or twelve would not be too many. This is the most expensive of fall trimmings outside of ele- gant embroidery.
 THE BRAID.
 The braid after all gives only a tailor made look to the dress, and, unless the wo- man mas plenty or money, IL mlSnt pc counted an extravaganza.
 Cotton braid can be used indeed, but it is not to be compared to silk in looks nor does 1t wear as well.
 The fashion for tailor made dresses pos itively rages this fall. The new tailor made gowns fit as though a woman was melted into them and they are decidedly the most beautiful feature of fall dressmak- ing.
 The little coat which Is worn with them is cut away in front and Is short upon the hips; 1t gradually lengthens in the back until it is really quite long. One of these had two extremely long tails in the back. This coat which is modified redingote will be very fashionable all winter. It has appeared in fur and you see it in all kinds of rough materials.
 A flock of snow birds could not look more picturesque than the women shoppers do at this time, and it will really be pity when the light dresses are called in and Jack Frost spreads his mantle upon the earth,
