THE references to the Spanish troops

ated. No reports have been received
thus far that there is anything like the
number indicated in the above indorse.
ment, while the population of that ter
ritory is probably nearer one-half the
number stated The number of troops
already ordered to the Philippine ISL
ands is three times as many as Admiral
Dewey called for The force ordered at
this time is not expected to carry on a
war to conquer an extensive territory
and the chief object of the within let
ter was to suggest means OF quickly
establishing a strong garrison to com.
mand the harbor of Manila and to rev
lieve the United States feet under Ad-
miral Dewey with the least possible
delay. This, in my judgment. is OF IRE
eminent prominence.

Pennsylvania volunteers, ordered to,
day, will approximate 1000 more. These
troops, in my judgment, are all that II
would be advisable to send to the Phil,
ippine Islands at this time. If it BE-
deemed advisable to send additional
regiments, they can be sent from New
Orleans or Tampa, but the force now
ordered to be sent, is, as already indi-
TOD tI,ov xxyi1 Il rod
for the, purpose.
1t is, however, in my judgment, OF
the highest Importance that orders
should be sent to place the six high
power guns and eight 12-inch mortars
on vessels at San Francisco, and pos,
sibly Puget Sound. with the least pos
sible delay, and sent to the harbor of
Manila and mounted as speedily as
possible. It may be advisable TO send
additional guns. These orders should
be sent by telegraph and the Engineer
and Ordnance Department should be
directed to expedite the work by every
possible means.
NELSON A. MILES,
Major General Commanding.
1t thus appears that there was no
controversy regarding the number of
troops to be sent General Miles, in
fact, having designated more than
General Merritt called for, but differ
ence of opinion as to the composition
of the force, General Merritt desiring
to have more regulars than were desig,
mated by General Miles. Certain news
papers have attempted to show that
General Miles did not want more than
5000 troops to be sent to the Philip
pines under General Merritt, but the
above official correspondence shows this
not to be the fact.

FANCY BUTTONS.
Gold, silver or fancy buttons are popu-
lar trimming for children's froeks, but
only the small buttons are used. They
are put on IN clusters OF five or six and
certainly do add much to the gown. On
a white frock small, fat gilt buttons
show to great advantage. while on the
dark colors steel OF silver are equally eff
fective. Fancy buttons are not used
much on outside coats, the dark bone or
the natural vegetable ivory still being
considered the smartest.

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

CutaWay coats that have for the past
hVe or six years been conspicuously alb
sent from the well selected masculine
wardrobe seem about to regain their for
mer presttge-now at no time is the long
talled cutaWay a graceful or becoming
garment. 1t is poor sort of compro-
mise between the stately frock, the easy
sacque shape or the squared off REFER
and on stout man this long tailed body
coat, with its sharp slope away from the
waist line is acutely unbecoming; for
ali that, the tailors are behind this gar
ment and are pushing it -rapidly into ia
vor again, especially for morning wear.
on occasions when there is need of some
particular smartness in dress, and elder
ly gentlemen have been the first to accept
the lead of the tailors in this direction.
Whole suits Of gray and brown tweed
are made up with what are called morn
ing coats else trousers of fancy weave
are worn with long-tailed black worsted
coats sloping away In front on q more
easy and becoming line than formerly.
One feature of these coats Is the alb
sence OF any outside breast pocket. The
handkerchief is carried in the tails, and
there has been noticed recently at smart
weddings number Of well-ftting cuta-
ways, gray gloves, patent leather shoes
and high hats. Undeniably on men of
good figure the effect was very nearly
that or the orthodox fulI-Skirted frock
coat.
Every properly adjusted evening tie Of
white lawn goes twice around the collar
before 1t is drawn into a bow that still
leans toward the butterfly effect. While
the ends Of the tie are cut square, the
corners Of the dress shirt collars round
off gracefully In accord with those of the
cuffs. Slight though these details seem,
they form the delicate line of -demarka-
ton between the fashionably and unfash-
ionably dressed man.
Another straw that shows the way
that the mode for men blows is In the
lining of evening coats and the length of
the full dress coats tail. Black satin last
season was the proper material for a
dress coats lining, whether a Tuxedo or
not. This season q soft, rather dull-fin-
ished silk is the choicest material for the
purpose. and the new dancing and opera
coat has tails Of a length that recalls the
fashions Of 1920.
The colored shirt mania shows no sign
Of abatement, though men whose ward
robes are very carefully selected assume
a tremendous penchant for black and
white Their preference Is for a white
linen garment, showing a wide and mar
row line OF black, and in the morning this
type of shirt is assumed with a high,
Follower white collar and small tie of
mixed coral and white silk! 80 -1s;s

an intricate monogram worked out in

in old nissals, the scroll work, say, in
bright red, with the monogram in yellow
