Germany, it is said, is strong in its
professions of friendship for the
United States, and the German Am
bassador to this country is quoted as
saying that he felt assured that all diff
ferences, and there are none of any
moment he thinks, will be speedily ad-
justed. There may be some differ
ences of opinion with respect to the
Importance of some of the causes of
complaint which the people of this
country have against Germany, but
there will be none in the hope they
will be speedily adjusted. The fact of
the matter is that until a little more
than year ago Germany felt that as a
Power the United States did not
amount to much, and that it could do
pretty much as it pleased without seri-
GUS reprisals. The result of the war
with Spain has caused Germany to
learn its serious error, and she now
finds it very convenient to be polite
and friendly.

ready for parties going South, lovely
gowns have been made up in this style.
Silk or satin yelled by spangled net or
lace, is very fashionable and one of the
prettiest dresses just completed, is
composed of pink silk that did duty at
Opera and elsewhere this winter and
now cleansed by Ivory Soap, is remade
for a southern sojourn.
Charming dresses of grenadine show
ing stripes, plaids or circular figures,
are made over taffeta silk, either black
or matching the surface of the goods
and a lovely example that is to be a
part of Miss Sloane's wedding outfits
of dark heliotrope grenadine embroid-
cred in circular designs of lighter
shade and made over heliotrope silk.

that appears on the front breath, cor

STYLES IN MAKING

do not as yet differ markedly from
those of last season, with the exception
of sleeves that are now so small as to
demand alteration in most examples,
but this can be done by substituting a
cap of silk or satin for the puff at the
top. Overskirts while by no means
essential, are growing in favor and
this the more so, becaue they are found
so readily applicable in case of altera-
tlons or re-making, since when the
front of a skirt has become worn, it
can be replaced by pointed over skirt
of some combination material and it
must be remembered that the front of
a skirt is alway the first to give way or
to taInish. Polonaises have kindred
advantages are used not only becaus 9
fashionable, but for reasons of econ
omy. Lace polonaises are charming
beyond compare and with a skirt of
some plain material, delightful COM
plexion may be afforded by polonaise
of striped or dotted fabric.
Smyrna times., 1899-02-22
PLISSE STRIPES

IN materials, are very frequent, and
akin IN idea, are crepons that take on a
new lease of life. Especially in black,
for skirts, these goods are in demand,
because independent waists were never
more in vogue and form an important
quota i'll outfits for approaching sum
mer. Light weight cheviots lead for
travelling or general wear, coming often
in two tones, but there is a large pro-
portion of cloths in narrow stripes that
will form admirable utility gowns or
fastidious wearers may as usual sele ct
fine quality plain cloth.

Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-03-25
Unfair Treatment OF New Mexico Miners.

New Mexico miners and mine owners
are bitter in their complaints against
the attitude of mine brokers and eX-
perts of Denver concerning mining
properties in this territory. They claim
that it is impossible to receive fair
treatment at the hands of Denver peo-
pie when the sale of or report on a mine
is concerned.
In support of this claim instances are
cited where mining experts have been
sent from Denver to examine properties
in New Mexico, and adverse reports
have been made without a fair investi-
cation of the merits of the claims, while
there would appear, tackled on the end
of the report, a recommendation to the
persons paying for the investigation to
buy mines in Colorado.
On the other hand, mining men sent
into the territory from Kansas City,
Chicago, st. Louis and the Pacific coast
Invariably report on properties in an
honest and unprecedented manner In
fact, instances are known where prop
critics have been condemned by Denver
the same mines by men from the east
ern cities have resulted in the most ia
vorable reports.
1t seems strange that such jealousy
of New Mexico should exist in Denver.
Colorado and New Mexico interests are
in many respects identical. Both that
state and this territory are dependent
in a large degree for prosperity upon
the mines, and the success of miners in
developing and working producing
properties adds to the Importance of the
industry and builds up the smelters of
the Centennial state. If Colorado mines
can not be sold because of the demand
for New Mexico property without the
decrying of good mines in this territory,
Denver experts will no doubt find it TO
their interest financially to be fair in
their treatment of mines in New Mex
leo.
Denver papers talk a great deal about
the merchants of that city being enti-
tied to the lions share of the business
in New Mexico, but the feeling among
the business men of this territory over
the jealousy shown in mining matters
by Denver is growing stronger every
day, and unless there is a change in this
matter it will not pay Denver firms to
send circulars into the territory.

heart and abandon his cause. So, hop
ing with an insane hope to make a
grand coup d'etat, and by the sheer
force of numbers in one extended sweep
to overthrow the Americans, A%guinaldo
is massing his troops for a final sortie,
and is working upon their superstitions
to make them fight the harder by
placing warriors with charms in the
front of the line. If the expected on
slaught is made it will be the case of
the dervishes in the Soudan in front of
Kitchener over again. These poor
Wretches thought their lives were
charmed, and that even if they should
die a glorious paradise awaited them
above. SO they rushed to their death,
and We're moved down by scores and
hundreds. The same result will obtain
when Aguinaldo makes his promised
onslaught upon the American columns.
American rifles. cannon, Cuttings and
the guns of the fleet will pile the ground
high with Filipino dead, and the back
bone of the rebellion will be broken.
The Sd, 4th and 18th infantry regiments
have been added to the American
forces, and the 18th infantry is not far
off. A pleasing phase of the situation
is that non of the volunteers now want
to come home. All the volunteer regi-
ments have lost some of their comrades,
and the men are anxious to get even"
with the Filipinos for the loss. Within
the next 10 days there will be some very
lively work done north of Manila, and it
will end in the entire decentralization
and crushing of the native forces.
