LONDON, May members of the
Filipino junta here made the state
ment to-day that the peace negotia-
tiOns betwsen the United States au-
thorities at Manila and General Luna
were unofficial in character General
Luna, the junta asserts, does not rep
resent Aguinallos government L. is
further asserted by the junta that Sc
cret negotiations between Dean c.
Worcester of the United States Phil
ippine commission and representa-
tive of AguinaldO have been in prog
ress since before the attack on Malo-
los. The following conditions, it is
alleged. were proposed by the Aineri-
cans after the capture of Maiolos:
The Americans to issue a proclama-
ton granting the Filipinos selfgov-
ernment and political, civil and re-
igious rights similar to those enjoyed
by the people of Canada; the / ipinos
to control international mercantile
relations; Americans and Filipinos
to enjoy equal rights in the
islands. Manila to remain in
the possession of the United
States until Congress decides other
wise; the American flag to fly over
the capitals of the islands and in the
most prominent positions along with
the Filipino flag, except at Manila,
where only the American flag shall fly;
ali vessels to fly the American flag
with that of the Filipinos; the Roman
Catholic clergy to be under the same
administration as in the United
States; Spanish clerical direct inter
vention to be abolished; hospitals and
schools formerly administered by the
orders to be handed over 10 the gov
eminent. the orders to retain only
their present town property; the secU-
lar clergy to retain their property"
The junta asserts that Aguinaldo,
in view of those proposals, Withdrew

BEEF REPORT IS in.
nIlss and Oshsr OOesrs Are 0ovoeoly
Criticised.

0lles and Other O0osrs Are Severely
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Wade
court Of inquiry has concluded its
work in connection with the allega-
lions Of General Miles concerning the
beef supplied to the army during the
war with Spain
The verdict is that the charges
which General Miles made before the
war investigating commission are not
sustained in reference to the refriger-
ating beef, although his contention
that the canned roast beef was not
suitable continuous ration is admitted
The court finds the charges of ''en-
balming" the fresh beef to have been
unsubs tantiated by testimony, and
says no chemicals were used to pre-
serve it. 1t also finds that it would
have been impracticable to secure beef
| on the hoof for the Cuban campaign.
The finding is likewise in opposition
TO the assertion that the use Of the
beef was an experiment.
The fact is set forth that the canned
roast beef had not been used to any
! appreciate extent before the begin
! ming of this war and it is therefore
regarded as a practically untried ra-
ton. In view of this fact, the com.
missary general of subsistence is
roundly criticised for the purchase of
the meat in such extensive quantities.
Accordingly the court finds that the
meat was not ''doctored;" that i. was
the beef of commerce; that there was
no more neglect than was incident TO
the hurried preparation for the war;
that the inspection, while generally
| according to regulations, was not al
| ways up to the requirements and that
the sickness OF the troops was not to
any great degree occasioned by the
use of either the canned or the refrig-
Grated beef.
On the other hand, it is found that
| General Miles himself did not report
during the war that the beef. either
refrigerated or canned, was un tit as
ration. Other officers who gave their
testimony before the court were found
also to have neglected what the court
conceives to have been their duty in
this respect, and all are blamed for
this failure
But the court does not think further
proceedings necessary.
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1899-05-04

It is confidently stated, and on good
authority, that grenadines, crepons
and crepe de chine will be far more
fashionable this season than silks. In
spite of this, women crowd around the
silk counters and buy not only one, but
as many silk gowns as possible. When
economy has to be consulted, silk
gown is cheaper than one made of the
aforementioned fabrics, and, further
more, does not demand silk Innings. A
silk gown, particularly a taffeta silk,
can be made to look quite as effective
lined with nearsilk or thin percaline.
whereas grenadine or thin crepon must
be made over silk Innings to have any
smart look at all.
There are many novel ways of trim
ming the silk gowns. Lace, of course,
is always used, but, besides lace, jet
passementerie, ribbon, grass linen and
even brocade and velvet are in style.
An exceedingly smart gown OF dark
blue satin foulard, with small design
in white, has yoke and sleeves of thin
India grass cloth, strapped with black
velvet bands. On the skirt are black
velvet bands of varying width, put at
the bottom of the bias flounce.
A gown of the Persian figured foul
ard has the skirt made in tunic shape,
but quite long enough to hide the un-
derskirt, which is finished with wide
band of gray broadcloth. The waist Is
in jacket shape, and has fitted waist
coat and revers of dark blue velvet.
Another gown of Persian figured
foulard is trimmed with bands of white
lace insertion on the underskirt, and
bolero jacket also of white Irish lace.
There are vest, collar and pointed cuffs
of velvet, the shade of the blue in the
foundation of the material, but around
the neck are two narrow bias bands Of
velvet, the color of the pink and yellow
of the figured design.
Polka dotted silks are again extreme
ly fashionable, and the dots are of
every conceivable size. In some de-
signs all the sizes are used at once, but
the smartest gowns are those made
either with the large or very small
dots. A dainty little gown for trav-
cling and general wear is made of q
dark blue ground, with the smallest
dot, and has no trimming whatever ex-
cepting the material itself. The skirt
is circular shape, with folds around the
foot. The waist is made like the
<ucLod c;Jk uaiSfs With a rOirf ted voko
at the back. but the sleeves are like
dress sleeves, with pointed flaring
cuffs. The belt and collar are made of
the silk, cut on the bias. OF course the
beauty Of this gown depends largely
upon its cut and 1T, but It is a most at
tractive model to follow, ana cue that
will not be common.

The eolored foulards are endless IN
coloring and desien; the satin foulArds
are the newest and are exQuisitely soft
and graceful when draped. The satin
'foulards are the smartest. and those
with a blue ground are the most pop
ular. They have white designs all over
them. A red and white one-a partic-
ularly attractive one-has a white
clover leaf with . red center. Then
there are the Persian designs, absolute

For Spring and Summer.

After the momentous question of the
spring tailor costume is settled the
next gowns to be planned are the silks
that are to be worn during the spring
and summer, and, indeed, there are no
gowns in a woman's wardrobe that are
more interesting to decide upon.
There is something about silk gown
that makes it peculiarly attractive to a
woman, and these fascinating summer
silks, with their charming designs and
colorings, are almost impossible to re-
sist, particularly this season, when
The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1899-05-04

there is such a wide range of prices to
choose from.
A black silk costume Is now abso-
lutely indispensable, and the number
of waists possible for one gown makes
life much simpler, when economy has
to be consulted, or when it is desired
to travel with as little luggage as pos
sible. To begin with, there must be a
high-necked waist to match the skirt;
then there can be low waist trimmed
with jet or white lace, and as many
other waists as one wants in silk or
wash materials.
Both the figured black taffetas and
the figured black midas are consid-
cred fashionable. The taffetas are
sitter and much warmer than the In

dias, but the effect of both is much the
same when they are made up. 1t must
be said, though, that it is a mistake to
buy too stiff taffeta silk. one that
has too much dressing: for although it
possesses a fine appearance to start
with, the silk is much more likely to
split and wear than one that to begin
with looks poorer.
It Is remarkable how many different
designs there are in these figured
black silks Some have large figures,
others small ones. The polka-dot eff
fects are considered particularly smart,
also those with wavy bayadere stripes.
The plain black silks, taffetas and In
dias are not questionable. but are not
this year considered quite so smart As
the figured ones. They cost rather
more, and require more trimming.
