FASHIONS FOR NEXT WINTER.

1t is little early as yet to speak
definitely of the styles for next winter,
but there have been one or two gowns
sent over in advance to show what is to
be tried upon the public Among these
gowns there have been one or two tea
gowns. One in black satin is a superb
costume, but rather on the lines of one
that was brought over some few years ago
that did not make a success. 1t is of
black satin, tight-6tting at the back.
The front has darts, and is tight-fitting
until directly in front, where it hangs
straight from the shoulder to the hem,
and then opens to show an under-petti-
coat and tight-ftting waist. The petit
coat and waist are of pink satin, COM
pletely covered with rows of white lace.
Down the fronts of the black satin gown
the outside gown-there is an en-
broidery done by hand in shaded pink
roses, the fronts being lined with pink
satin. There is a collar quite high at
the BACK, with the roses going around it.
and the elbow sleeves are finished with a
band of roses and deep ruffies of white
lace, to match that on the petticoat
There is nothing particularly new about
the shape of the gown, the novelty being
in the embroidery, which is most ex.
quisitely done by hand. Hand embroid

REVOLUTION GROWING.

SantO Domingo Generals Desert-MO-
riscO Taken:
Cape Haitien, Aug 25.-News has
been received here from Puerto Plata,
Santo Domingo that Sanchez Blanco,
near Puerto Plata, and Moca have de-
clared in favor of the revolution
Puerto Plata also expects similar
declaration on the part of Santiago.
General Pepin, the governor of Santiago,
left the province some time ago to march
on the insurgents, and it is believed at
Puerto Plata that Santiagoswill rise and
march on La Vega.
Generals Caceres, Vasquez and Broche,
at the head of 800 revolutionists, recently
appeared before Macoris. They left the
great body of their troops at the entrance
to the city and, with 20 men, advanced to
the governors house, demanding surren-
der.
Governor Castillo, thoroughly cowed,
repaired to the plaza without making any
resistance, and the delivery of the park,
fort, arsenal and government buildings
was then effected.
The reyolutionists then formally occu-
pied the surrounding country, meeting
with no opposition.
In this way the revolution, strong and
humane, is rapidly advancing, avoiding so
far as possible the shedding Of blood.
The complete victory Of the cause of Jime-
nez seems assured There is no check
on the eastern boundary.
Little is known here as to what is going
on Mt Monte Christi, though the govern
ment troops are still there, as well as
General Pepin.
