attention.

good joke to shy stone over in the

HAVANA, November q, 1902.
In the tropics the calm follows the storm
swiftly. There has beer no real tempest,
but Havana, after the experiment of SYM
pathetic general strike, is as tranquil as
an American village. AS happens in the
north, some Of those who helped on the
disorder are in the graveyard. Many more
are in the hospitals. Yet except for this
no one who has the good of Cuba at heart
really regrets what has happened.
Generally the outcome may be summed
up as prompt victory for law and order.
President Palma's administration is strong
er for the week Of trial. The moral influ-
to be enough without physical Intervention.
A local POLITICAL group which started out to
utilize the strike for it's own purposes has
been discredited and the process of disinte-
grafton already has begun. Its place is
taken by Maxine Gomez and his veterans
of independence, whose power has been in
creased. The Havana police force and the
auxiliary bodies of the rural guard and
the Cuban artillery have shown themselves
equal to the first grave emergency in which
they were put to the test. This Is the SUBJ
stance Of weeks eventful happenings.
A universal strike in Havana was bound
to have an International interest. 1t also
had very intense local interest. Aside from
all the world being on the watch to see
how the Cuban government could maintain
itself, the administration itself was anxious
to find out its own strength weakness
A chance came to it with unwelcome

First Collision With the Police.

The first collision between the police and
the strikers took place Friday afternoon in
front of the theater, which was the head
quarters Of the strike committee General
Cardenas, the chief of police. was in COM
mand, and he hurt not only the feelings. but
the bones of some of the strikers. 1t was
charged that his zeal was unwarranted,
and the alcalde, mayor, promptly de-
prfyed him of his office. A very bitter con-
troversy Is still raging over this matter,
and l do not undertake 10 pass on Its mer-
its. He has not been reinstated up to this
time
Saturday the strike was on in full force.
Inc newspapers came out at unusual hours,
publishing the notices received from the
typographical union, and telling their read
ers that publication would be resumed at
some time in the future. Some of them
mildly protested and censured the strike.
but generally they resigned themselves to
the situation with placid philosophy. Viva

parting shot of enc editor after column
of sarcastic comment.

that all this was part of conspiracy on
the part of the Spanish classes to precipi

been able to find any ground for this
charge.
Industrial Life Paralyzed.
Monday morning Havana's commercial
and industrial life was more than palsied.
1t was paralyzed. The bakers and the
butchers had Joined in the strike. Neither
meat nor bread was to be had, although at
the slaughter houses concession was
made to permit the hospitals to be sup
piled. The whole city gets its bread from
the bake shops from day to day, SO that
good share OF the population were fast,

not be had, because the men In the Ice
factory had Joined the brewery workers in

wagons were on the strike.

Appeal to Patriotism.

The necessity Of preserving Cuban indie
pendence is still the most forceful argument
used with the radical element. DR.. OFar-
ril, the alcalde. in second proclamat ton
after reciting how the workingmen, pre-
viously peaceful" had taken an aggressive
and offensive attitude against the establish
to return to work and listen to the voice
of reason and of patriotism. His procla-
nation closed in this manner:
Think on your hearthstones; think on
the blood shed by your brothers vino per-
ished In the heroic struggle for the liberty
and independence OF the country, and show
yourselves worthy to enjoy the benefits
which we have realized; do not endanger
them by the counselS of those whom Won
know and who do not think as you think.
This meant, of course, that those who
were trying to keep up the strike were
covertly attacking Cuban independence.
One of the radical newspapers which
mildly opposed the strike in the beginning.
in resuming publication, summed up the
outcome as follows: Calm has recovered
its empire in all spheres, after the DAYS Of
strike in which the sacred work of the
revolution has been placed in danger A
voice more energetic. more vigorous, more
profound, more penetrating than the sword
the voice of patriotism, ordained the peace
ordained that each man should save the
principles of all. showing by his sacrifices
that in comparison with the country there
is nothing else, and like a smiling sunrise
the normal life of our people reappears"
These two extracts which could be
multiplied indefinitely showing some of
the restraining influences. AS to the COM
ing revolution In local politics, which is
expected to be the outcome of the strike
an explanation of the details would be te-
dious The main thing Is that the Palma
administration is strengthened.

Live BAIT Cnsting for Ba...

From Country Life in America.
The style of angling the most fas-
cinating is, probably, that known as
bait casting. This consists of casting
a live or an artificial bait to as great
a distance as ones skill allows, and
then retrieving 1t by winding UP the
reel. In fly casting the work is done to
a larger extent by the elasticity of the
rod. In casting with live bait, on the
contrary, the length Of the cast Is de-
teFmined ty the running qualities of
the reel and the ability of the angler
to take advantage of these as much as
possible, without letting the line over
run. 1t is better by far to watch some
one actually making casts than to rely
on written Instructions, but If so sit
uated that you must go out alone on
your first attempt, try II somewhat af-
ter this method; Wind in line until the
bait touches the tip. take your rod IN
the right hand, grssping the grip with
the fingers and allowing your raqt
thumb to rest lightly on the barrel Of
the reel; swing your rod away and
backward from you, with tip pointing
downward; swing around the rod In a
half-circle In front u you and upward:
start slow, increasing the rapidity Of
the action toward its close. When the
rod point has described half-eircle

IN LINEN OR DUCK.

Heavy linen or duck skirts are cut
with decided train, one, two or three
inches falling over the floor. One of
the most pleasing linen skirts is cut
with a double box plat behind. The
under plat twice as wide as the upper
one and permits the application of a
stitched strapping on each side of the
upper plat. A strapping also decor
ates the outside fold of the linen. The
skirt is fitted gracefully over the hips
and has strapped seams and a moder-
ate flare around the lower part. With
the skirt any bodice may be worn, but
as fashion now prefers that skirts and
bodices shall harmonize, special
blouse of linen is made for use with
this garment. This waist is a very
simple affair, with no other trimmings
than hemstitched sailor collar of lin
en- and a double hemstitched band
brought down the front.
Another favored pattern of the serv-
ieeable wash skirt has a series of
plaits, half of each of which is stitch
ed while the other half is allowed to
fare. The open plaits give a fullness
to the lower part of the skirt, while
the stitched fitting above allows the
cloth to be very accurately nodded to
the figure,

The question of where shall we go
for the summer is rapidly losing itself
in that more timely one, when shall
we be off. 1t is not long before the
comforts of home must give way to
the doubtful luxury of the summer
hotel. BY sea or rail or inland water
ways, society will soon be travelling
towards those uncertain pleasures that
make up the sum of fashionable ex-
istenee from now until November.
The starched apparel of propriety must
replace the negligee- OF nome, ois
