Washington, D. c., Jan. ia cable
gram was received at the State De-
partment at l o'clock this afternoon
from Consul General Lee at Havana,
stating that everything was tranquil.
The official advices from Havana re-
ceived by the Spanish Minister, Mr..
Dupuy de LONE. continue to be reas-
surfing. A dispatch sent at 8 o'clock
last evening said that the city was
perfectly quiet. Another dispatch,
sent shortly after midnight and re-
ceived early this morning, stated that
few people gathered in the public
park about 10 o'clock last night There
was no demonstration, and under or
dinary circumstances no attention
would have been given to 1t. as the
park is the central public point of
Havana. AS a matter of precaution,
however. the patrol Of soldiers on duty
asked the people to move away. and
this they did without demonstrati tion
or the exercise OF any force BY IL
o'clock the troops were buck In their
quarters
No surprise would be felt if there
were sporadic gatherings of groups In
city OF IIayana'S size. particularly
Sunday, when the streets are usually
filled with those otherwise engaged
during the week. The customary out
pouring Of people doubtless will occur
Tomorrow, and 1t may serve as an in
ceentive for the congregating OF groups,
but 1t is said this should not be mis-
construed into q popular demonstrn- :
tlon, and no uneaSiness whatever Is
felt that 1t will be the occasion OF
anything more than few vivas, even
If that much occurs.
Senior Gown, member of the au-
tonomous Cabinet. arrives at Havana
to-day and this, also, 1t Is said, may
serve as text for some vivas by the
ultras. GOWN has been at Atlanta,
Ga, since the autonomous Cabinet was
formed He is regarded as the strong
est man of that body, and for that rea-
son his appointments has excited in
tense hostility among the insurgents;
and their friends. II led 10 a move
ment to insult him personally ms he
passed through Tampa, according to
Information submitted to the Spanish
Minister. This led Scnor Gown TO
change his route, making n sea trip
by way or New York. He sailed from
there last Saturday. in view OF the
movement against him at Tampa, It
would be no surprise to the Legation
here If the same ultra element at
Havana took his arrival an an or
pcrtunity for 4 similar expression
against him.
During the afternoon the minister was
in receipt of advices from Senor Con-
gosto, showing that up to o'clock the
city of Havana had been absolutely
calm. The new Minister of the Inter
dor, Senor Gown, had arrived and had
had n respectful reception. Later he
took the oath of office.

the number Of Republicans who can
be depended on at lis. Mr. Evans. of
Kentucky, another member of the

Both estimates are based on the can

attitude Of certain doubtful members.
AS Il whole, the result gives satjsfac-

cases entire State delegations are
shown by the canvass to favor n

in the State delegations of North

Virginia and New Hampshire.
Beyond completing the canvass, the

Mt first denied having seen the child

Comfort For the stnk.

When there is much fever, frequent
Il bathing the face and hands and even
the feet helps to reduce the temperature
and soothe the sufferer. Small basins of
granite ironware shaped like a half
moon can be obtained which facilitate
the task. A folded Turkish towel can
be placed to receive chance drops.
4 woman's hair should be combed
and plated once a day, or it falls into

The eyes should be shaded from the
light not by entirely shutting out the

green Blind and placing a screen be-

Slow Piano Practice.

This is a trite subject, but n that
needs the most persistent reiteration-
The object of all practice is to establish
that reflex action Of the muscles known
as mental automatism. This is best Sc
cured by practicing a difficult passage a
great many times at SO slow q tempo
that there is time for deliberate thought
in advance Of the muscular action.
When the passage has been played, say,
ten times in this manner without the
slightest variation from the correct or
der of notes, lingering, touch and shad-
ing, exactly double the speed. At this
new tempo there will still be time for
thought. After. say, eight repetitions
without error, again double the speed.
There is now no time for thinking each
separate note, but the passage must be
conceived ssin a lump so to speak, or
exactly as we read a word without
stopping to think Of the lettersof which
it is composed. At the appearance OF the
least mistake return to the slow tempo
and 20 through the series as before. Ao-
cording to the Etude, this kind Of prac-
tioe will yield quicker results if the
passage in hand be memorized and
thought out away from the piano before
practicing it upon the instrument.

White stockings, it is said, are the
really correct thing not only with the
ssall white, costume, but with light
summer dresses of every description,
and black stockings must be relegated
to wear with tailor made gowns and
sporting dress.
It is not the white shoe, which was
one of last seasons fads, that accom-
panies this summers white gown. On
the contrary, a neat patent leather or
bronze kid tie is found to give just the
effective little finishing touch that pre-
vents monotony in the costume.
The ginghams of the present when
made up with lace and ribbon garniture
hardly respond to the idea whichssa
bingham dress would call upnot many
years ago.
Plain checked silk with a band of
solid COLOR around the edge represents a
popular parasol.
Velvets for hat trimming have white
spots, from the size of a pea to a dime,
dotted over them. Spotted ostrich
plumes are also IN evidence.

with lace, beru1fied, embroidered and
lavishly adorned with ribbon (alsO
white) represents the fad of the day.
II goes almogt without saying that
white parasois and white leghorn or
chip hats are the proper accessories Of
such a gown. White feathers, flowers,
ribbon and chiffon trim the hat, and, in
passing, it may be mentioned that moth
ing newer or more decidedly chic IN
this line can be found than q rather
broad brimmed sailor of fine chip with
double mercury wings extended across
the front and q roll of soft silk and dot
ted net or chiffon around the crown.
White wings are decidedly i~ndispensa-
BILE.
Black lace over a white silk founda-
ton is a favorite and very striking COM
bination of the season. Not only does
this make a distinguished gown fer
summer fetes and general wear, but it
furnishes a use for white silk that has
lost a little of its first freshness, and
when these lace dresses have served
their hot weather turn Of usefulness
they will still make quite a smart demi-
toilet for autumn.
A noticeable featured the new gowns
is the short shoulder seam and the
smallness Of the armhole. Unoomfort-
ably small it is in many instances, tho
underside of the bodice being carried up
very high to give a long wasted effect.
Two piece sleeves appear TO be in the
majority.
In the lightest texture of wooden goods
for wear at the seaside and country re-
sorts those of soft, limp character are in
demand, for they hang in the approved
fashion and make up we'll into frills,
plaitings and b~ouillonnees. These in
clude nuns yelling, barege, cashmere
and the like, and narrow ribbons used
as frills or grouped in rows are favorite
trimmings.
A smart model suitable for any OF
these last mentioned materials is shown
in the first cut, which indicates a COM
