CUBA's PITIFUL STATE.
Crops-Buslness DuIl-Littis
Money Circulating.

New York, Sept. l9.-W. w. Howard,
general manager of the Cuban indus
trial relief fund, who has recently re-
turned from Cuba, says:
Cuba is In pitlfui state. Instead Of rainy
season Cuba has had q drought Not
since 1874 has there been such long continued
dry weather during the summer. The result
has been disastrous. The United States
weather bureau reports that all small crops
have been ruined. Sugar cane has been 80
damaged that the crop next year will be less
than the crop ground this year. The most dis
treSsing feature OF the drought Is the destruc-
tion OF the corn crop.
Business In the cities is desperately dull The
hotels are empty, restaurants are idle and all
small affairs are lifeless Large business con-
Germs are scraping along as best they may. In
the hope that the future OF the island may be
definitely settled The gradual withdrawal Of
the American troops has materially lessened
the amount Of the money In circulation. The
hectic flush OF unreal prosperity which many
persons mlstook for genuine prosperity has died
out There can be no return OF prosperity In
Cuba until the farmers have been helped back
10 their homes.
Anyone who denounces the Cubans as a dirty
lazy, worthless people is guilty Of slander.
Anyone who asserts that the Cuban will not
work speaks without knowledge OF the subject
Cubans come TO our relief farms In swarms to
beg for days work. Not one has yet come To-
beg for food. Our relief farms are giving sup
port wholly or in part 10 about 80 persons, OF
whom about 900 are dependent women aud chill
dfen. We have workers In our fields who
should be In the hospital Some Of them have
Insisted on working until they dropped In their
tracks through sheer fatigue. The Cuban will
work II anyone will give him chance.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
Things New ana Tasty In the Co.'S
tunes That Are Now Popular
with the Ladies.

Red is very fashionable, especially
the shade known as automobile red.
This color is exceedingly becoming to
certain compilations. both blondes aud
brunettes looking well in this color
provided always that they are not sal
low.
Red should be avoided by people who
are not handsome enough to bear
scrutiny; It is so conspicuous when
worn in masses, that Is to say, as a cos
tune color, that IL attracts attention,
and the person who wears it and who
is not good-looldng becomes an object
of unpleasant criticism.
Beauty Is forgiven pretty much in
all things, so beautiful face and fig
ure may carry off the most glaring
color triumphantly, whereas plain
faced girls plainness Is only empha-
sized by its wearing.
Pearl-gray dress goods are very pop
ular, but only few women past their
early twenties can wear II and look
well. Pearl-gray looks well on fair,
rosy blonde; a creamy skinned bru-
nette with pink in her cheeks also looks
well in this color. Stout, sallOw, or
stout women Of all sorts should avoid
pearl-gray; It only accentuates their
avoirdupois and sallowness.
Coral is once more popular for neck
laces and other personal adornments,
the rosy variety being very fashionable.
Princess costumes are fashionable
and look exceedingly well on women
of fine figure, that is, on women who
are neither too thin or too stout, and
who carry themselves gracefully. No
others should attempt them.
0verskirts are fashionable, but they
look superfuous and antiquated, and
seem only to offer and excuse for waste
Of material. Sensible women show
their strength of character and their
good taste by not following such an
ungraceful fashion as wearing a dou-
BILE skirt.
The sheath-like skirt of this sum

its being worn by women of every de.
gree of slenderness and stoutness. A
very thin woman encased in sheath
skirt and wearing tight sleeves looks
little better than a draped skeleton
while very stout woman looks like q

Certain fashions and colors seensde
signed only for beautiful women, but
by means of judicious notifications
of form and blendings Of color they may
be adapted to the use of the palmer
sisterhood and help to make them at
tractive and fair to look upon.
Gray may be made wearable for son'
women who otherwise could not use i
becomingly by simply adding touches
of heliotrope or cream, or touches o
silver embroidery associated with ros'
: color, or by trimming with cream lac
or black lace.
White pique is as popular as ever, ant

GILMORE AND HIS MEN
The Unfortunate American Sailors
Are Faring Badly in Prison.
Their Only Food q Meager Quantity of Rice
War OmcIals win Investigate the
Tartar's Delay Chased q British
Vessel other Manila Notes.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-News con-
cerning Lieut.. Gilmore and IA of the
enlisted men of the gunb boat Yorktown,
who were captured by the Filipinos at
Baler more than six months ago, has
reached Washington in letters to mill
tary officers from their fellows in the
Philippines. The latest information
comes through Spanish planter by
the name of Cara, who was i'm
prisoned by the insurgents and subse-
quently made his escape. He said
that the men were at Bigan,
where they were subsisting on
meager quantity of rice, valued
at not more than one peseta per man
per day. The allowance, however, was
more liberal than that for the Spanish
prisoners, every one Of whom was allotted
one-half peseta per day. There were
fully 1000 of the latter at Bigan, Cara
says, and all prisoners, Spanish and
American, showed signs of giving way
under the rigorous confinement and
the poor and insufficient food. He is
quoted as saying that the captives
could not stand such hardship and
such fare much longer.
VIII Investigate the Tartar's Delay.
Washington, Sept. 1s.-lt is the in
tention OF the war department to fully
investigate the circumstances under
which the transport Tartar was de-
tanned at Hong Kong. 1t is believed
that an anti-American influence is at
work in Hong Kong, and army officers
suspect strongly that the plan of hav-
ing the Tartar detained originated at
the headquarters of the enemies of the
government.
War department officials regard the
Tartar incident as only one of many
efforts to annoy and embarrass the
government in its efforts to suppress
the insurrection. II is said some OF
the recent actions OF the Aguinaldo adj
herents in Hong Kong point to the be-
lief that a headquarters has been estab-
lished there for the purpose Of causing
the government trouble whenever pos
sible and arousing dissatisfaction
among the troops.
Suspected ship Chased to Hong Kong
Hong Kong, Sept l9.-The American
gunboat Pampango has chased the
British steamer Yen-Sang from Mantle
to Hong Hong, The gunboat sighted
the steamer during the night of Sep
tember lS, about 80 miles off the nortl
coast of the island OF Luzon, and sus
pected that she was filibusterer.
The Pampango fired three shots
which the Yuen-Sang disregarded un
I'll the third shell exploded near her
She then stopped and the commando
of the gunboat boarded the Yueu-Sang
found he had made mistake and apol
ogized.

So long as the American Catholics formulate
