This Style Well Recommended.

Quite the smartest skirt Of all the plait-
ed designs, and one which Is sure of a
goodly following Is cut something on the
plan OF the sun-plaited skirts worn some
time ago. This style fits the hips with very
little extra fuliness. and widens out enough

Description of Latest DESIGNS.

One OF the latest shaped skirts is made
with mass OF tiny pleats about the
waist and hips. Nine or ten inches below
the waist the pleats gradually become
wider and WIDER till the skirt reaches the
desired length. At the hem II shows an
amplitude of fullness. For evening wear
this mode Is particularly graceful, and
such materials as fine soft textured cloth
and cashmere of some pale shade lend
themselves admirably to this style.
Another shape has yoke of velvet or
cloth, accurately fitted to the figure from
the waist line to little below the hips,
and from this desccnds the skirt, which is
composed entirely OF pleats

OTIS NEEDS TROOPS.

Our brave soldiers in the Philippines,
says the Philadelphia Times have been
fighting most hcroically not only against a
treacherous and we'larmed foe, but also
against Il climate that is much more deadly
than the bullets of the insurgents. We
are now in the most unfavorable season of
the generally unhealthy climate of the
Philippines and General Otis has shown
all the qualities of great commander,
and accomplished everything that was
possible with his now obviously inadequate
force.
Several times he has attempted to cap
ture large force of the enemy, and each
time he has failed almost wholly for want
of an army sufficiently large to prevent
the retreat Of the foe. We have had to
fight battle after battle over again because
of our lack of military force to hold every
point gained from the enemy. Until the
army is materially increased it will not be
possible for General Otis to force the in
surgents to terms. In the meantime we
are Wasting lie anu treasure because our
army is too small.
The first duty to our brave soldiers in
the Philippines and to the country is to
give General Otis force sufficient to
overwhelm the insurgents at every point
and hold every vantage ground that we
gain. the war to be successful must be
sharp and decisive. and it is not so solely
because General Otis has not anything
like an adequate force to solve the grave
problem that confronts him.
Our military leaders have not lacked a
single attribute of ability, nor have our
soldiers lacked a single attribute Of hero
ism, but they cannot do impossible things,
and it must now be evident to the Presi-
dent and the Cabinet that the war in the
Philippines can be closed during the
present year only by a large and prompt
increase of the army. A vast saving of
life and treasure will be gained by giving
General Otis all the troops he needs. Let
it he done as promptly rs possible.

SCHLEI DID NOT SAY 1T.

Much has been printed lately, especially
10y certain New York papers, in regard to
an alleged dialogue said to have taken
place on the deck of the Brooklyn between
Admiral Schley and Lieutenant Com
mander Hodgson, Captain Cooks navi-
eating officer, in which \ ADMIRAL Schley
was accused of trying to escape from Ger
vera fleet instead of destroying it. The
following letter from Lieutenant Com
mander Hodgson, made public Tuesday,
is, therefore, especially interesting at this
time The conversation alleged to have
taken place on the deck of the Brooklyn
is as follows:
"Schley-Hard aport.
"Hodgson-You mean starboard
"Schley-No, | don't. We are near
enough to them (the Spaniards) already.
"Hodgson-But we will cut down the
Texas.
"Schley-- the Texas, Let her look
out for herself
Lieutenant Commander Hodgsons let,
ter which stamps the alleged dialogue as
false, is as follows:

"The Sun" wishes to say that nfor-
nation has come to it that some old
political wire-pullers have put in cir
culation a very positive statement to
the effect that "The Sun" intends to
give its support to first one and then
another of the gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned as candidates for
gubcrnatorial honors. To those who
know ''Thc Sun" it will he unnecces-
sary to say that such a report is abso-
lutely false. To others we will say
that ''The Sun will take its own time
in reaching its conclusions and that
persons who assume to lie in such con-
tidcntial relations with the publishers
as to be able to state what "The Suns
course will be before the publishers
themselves have fully considered what
that course will be, should be set down
as frauds OF the most blatant descrip-
ton Baltimore Sun.
