all of the old ones are racked

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Army Officers Fear a Native Upris

San Antonio Express.

San Antonio Express.
Army officers returning from the
Philippines are not at all pleased
with the establishment of native
couSlabulary in the islands. The
armiug of so great number Of
Filipinos, they think, might some
day lead to a great massacre of
Americans in the Philippines.
With the reduction of the army
oyer there and an armed native
force it would not surprise them TO
see an outbreak. The Filipinos
who were friendly to American
arms during the early stages Of
the campaign are in many instances
receiving death as reward for
their service. 4 number Of them
are being shot almost daily by
others of their race who have gone
into the ranks Of the cOustabulary.

THE aI-white gown worn with
pIume-trimmed picture hat is one
Of tn. pretty warm weather COS
tunes which the 1902 summer girl has
branded with her distinct approval.
Never before have there appeared so
many feathered hats as are to be seen
at the seashore and mountain resorts
this season.
The dresses that go with them are Of
thin. cool fabrics. sheer. null, batiste,
organdie and dotted swiss. And they
are not very simply made, either. on
the contrary. they are decidedly or
nate with lace and embroidery and
tucks. and shirrs.
Sleeves. it will be noted, are con-
stantly growing larger as the season
advances. With the aU-white gown
they are exceedingly large and "baggy'
toward the wrist. and at the top they
are almost invariably capped with
trimming that matches the rest Of the
gown.
Oftentmes these little summer gowns
are made without collars. and are in
tended to be worn with a string of
pearls or of COralS about the throat.
GfrdIes Of green or black continue in
favor and equally as pretty is the sash
of soft pompadOur ribbon in dainty de-
sign. A slight deviation from the all
white gown is found in the white gown
which is trimmed in good effect with
yellow latce
Among the white gowns pictured here
! is a very appropriate one for young
girl The waist is blOUsed all the way
around. and is all-Over tucked. About
/ the neck and all the way down the
/ front is an outline of batiste embrOid-
cry. The sleeves, which are tucked TO
( little above the elbow, are finished al
the TOP with a small cap of the en-
/ broidery. AT the wrist their COpiOUs
