Insurgents MORE ACTIVE
SEVERAL PLOTS DISCOVERED
Samar Is One OF Their Headquarters
Also at Carbiga-Their Plan to Attack
Frustered- Leaders Arrested Officers
Look for Hard Fighting - Reinforce-
ments Sent There.

Manila. Oct. 22.-Owing to the vigil
lance of Lieutenant Thomas M.
Barnes, Jr of the Ninth United
States infantry another slaughter of
American troops by the insurgents
has been averted. 1t seems that Lieu
tenant Baines discovered a prisoner
re-entering a cell at Carbiga, island of
Samar, where several prisoners were
confined, through hole that had been
made in the wall. An investigation
showed a plan to fill the Jail with bolo-
men and to call the guard, which
would be necessary to get the door
open, and then to attack the garrison.
1t also developed that the instigators
were a priest and the presidente, both
of whom have been arrested, together
with several other prominent persons.
Other attempts have been discov-
cred. but fortunately frustrated, at
Pambugan and other points in Samar.
Several persons have been arrested
in connection with these.
Reinforcements are being rushed to
Samar. Three hundred and thirty ma
rines under Lieutenant Colonel Man
Gil c. Gooddrell, have gone there on
board the cruiser New York and two
battalions of the Twelfth infantry will
start Immediately for the same desti-
nation. Officers of the other provinces
that have been supposed to be paci-
fed have recently arrived in Manila
and they say that the news of Ameri-
can disaster spread like wildfire
among natives, who scarcely attempt
to conceal their delight.
The Manila constabulary discovered
|. large number of steel wagon springs
which were being shipped to various
= districts. Investigation showed that
these were to be used in manufacture
ing bolos.
J The troops in Samar anticipate

cob H. Smith, who is in command, has

rection must be hammered out and

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
New Notions in Feminine Ffnery
That Are Noticed in the Latest
Costumes.


Many long capes and cloaks are of
smooth or rough-faced cloth, with
revers and collars of fur.
Long capes of mink cut away in front
and lined with some handsome Ores
den silk are to be fashionable for mid
dle-aged women.
Muffs are trife larger. Later on it
is predicted that the fancy muff of fur,
lace and velvet will be worn with vel
vet costumes, says fashion author
ity.
Velvet Louis VX. jackets are finished
off with some dark fur. Russian and
Hudson bay sable, mink, Persian lamb
and stone marten will be used for sep
arate fur trimming.
Rough, loosely-woven black goods,
striped or dotted in white or sprinkled
with camels hair, seem likely to be
much in vogue, and several models are
shown by tailors make use of this ma
terial, with touches of blue ciel in the
trimming.
Crepe de chine promises to be con-
tinued favorite, and all delicate colors.
with much white will be used. The
waists are tucked or plain, with shirt
or bishop sleeves, just as one chooses.
Yokes have appeared on some of the
heavy waists, but these will not be-
come generally popular until later in
the season.
Hand work in tucks, herringbone,
embroidery and applique still holds it's
e. A. i
stitched bands are also stylish, but
stitching in contrasting color is now
considered bit odd. Silk in the color
of the goods or a shade lighter or
/ darker should be used for stitching.
Bands of broche and Dresden silks are
also used to trim many swagger fall
gowns.
Some very attractive effects are OBJ
tanned in the less conspicuous of the
zibelines, and for severe street gowns
they are used quite successfully. Mar
row stripes in red and black, green and
black or blue and black, thickly sprin-
killed. with white hairs, are among the
most effective and least conspicuous of
these rough roads. Plain greens and
reds with the hairy effect in black are
acceptable, too.
Since velvet is to be stylish In many
uses, it will appear often in modified
! Louis Nv. coats. One exquisite model
gown had a flounced skirt and a coat
that suggested the Louis model in it's
outlines and length, but it was simpler
and with fewer frills than Is usual,
The garment was snug-fitting, with
the familiar skirt that is slightly cut
away at the front, and included a mar
row vest of embroidered white satin
with plain, slightly bell sleeves, while
the neck was finished with q high
straight collar.

FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER.
Articles of Utility and Ornaments
ton for the Home That Are
Now Popular.

Interest in tapestry has been revived
and couch cushions with tapestry COW
ers are included in the seasons eollee-
ton, and are something of relief
from the silk and satin and embroid-
cred linens that have held sway for
some time. The Gibson sofa pillows in
etching tints are as popular as ever,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the new si1verware designs ia
miliar flowers are conspicuous. earna-
ton pinks and peoples appearing on
spoons and forks. In a spoon show
ing the poppy design the bowl is of
gold, while the handle is enameled in
the red and green tints of the natural
blossom and leaves.
The fall souvenir spoons are orna-
mented with carefully sculptured rep
fox, moose and rabbit.
Odd jardinieres are preferred by fas-
tidious women to the regulation types
found in the shops. Japanese jars in
dull red coloring decorated with fig
ures in relief are favorite plant hold
ers, and Indian baskets have been
cleverly utilized for the same purpose.
Cracker crumbs are suggested as a
cleansing agent for tan suede kid
gloves. Put on the gloves and manipu-
late the cracker crumbs as though
washing the hands.
Orange peel allowed to smolder on
a red-hot shovel or iron will destroy
doors of cooking.
A mixture for polishing steel sur
faces is made from emery powder
blended with equal parts of sweet oil
and turpentine. The article to be pol

The Punishment of IndoIence.

One of the saddest sights in the
world is that of a soul which has
been starved by Incidence, an unde-
veloped, stunted man, who has never
sufficiently exerted himself to unfold
his godlike power, to cultivate his
finer sentiments and faculties. 1t is
not necessary for a man to be active
ly bad In order to make failure of
life; simple inaction will accomplish
it. Nature has everywhere written
her protest against idleness; every
thing which ceases to struggle, which
remains inactive, rapidly deteri-
crates. 1t is the struggle toward an
ideal, the constant effort to get
higher and further, which develops
manhood and character.-Success.
