/ The black materials are more varied
than of yore; there are some tempting
transparent fancy grenadines, singu-
larly cheap, which make up very well
over white, as fashion dictates, reports
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Black evening dresses are likely to
be as much in demand as ever, especi-
ally those that have the upper part
covered with minute paillettes, very
small at the waist and increasing in
size as they descend. A beautiful tulle
skirt thus treated met a trimming at
the foot composed of inch-wide satin
ribbon and lace insertion.
Many of the new serges are trimmed
at each seam, but have no Innings, and
drop fringes, gimps, and ornaments ap-
pear on most gowns. A favorit form of
gimp has graduated ''rondels" filled in,
in the center with crossing stitches.
A charming white tulle dress lightly
dotted with spangles, has fringe of
pink roses on the hem, and black net
dress closely covered with silver span
giles, lined with white, bears applica-
tions of white roses with excellent ef-
| feet.

Dainty little lace caps are being in
troduced in London and Paris, for
house wear. They are very popular

Guantanamo is located in the terri.
tory made familiar to us during the
late war. 1t belongs to the province
of Santiago de Cuba; and not very
far to the westward of it, about so
miles, lies the town of Santiago de

Spanish squadron was destroyed, and
where the surrender was made to the

miliar to us during that summer, close
to Santiago de Cuba, too, is in Guanta-

Islets, reefs and keys ian island ris-
ing little above the surface} mark the
northern and southern coasts of Cuba.
Some of the keys on the north coast
| are inhabited by fishermen, and occa-
slonally are large enough to prove in
| viting to other residents. The outer
| short line of the north coast has a
length of hundreds of miles, in addi-
tion to the fringing reefs lying be-
tween Bahia Honda and Cape San An
| tonic, the extreme western part of
Cuba. Bahia Honda, chosen as the site
of one of the new naval stations, has
land-locked harbor, one of the best
on the north coast, a sort of miniature
Havana bay.
Cuba is blessed beyond most lands
with good and numerous harbors-
| ''the trade of Cuba may be said literal
| ly to pass out at a hundred gates"
The Bay of Guantanamo is noted for
it's splendid, spacious harbor. The
! plan is to purchase, for the use of the
new naval station, 20 square miles of
Barbour County index., 1903-05-20

land on both sides of the lower bay,
in addition to several smaller islands.
The land is in the hands of English
and Spanish owners, who favor the
station and probably will offer no OBJ
stacles to it's establishment.
The United States has naval stations
at Boston, Mass; New London,
Conn.,; Mare Island. CAL; Algiers
La; New Orleans, La; Key West,

vite, Philippines; Island of Guam,
San Juan, Porto Rico; Tutuilla, Sa-
moa. There are marine barracks at
Sitka, Alaska, and naval yards at PEN
sacola. Fla, and Puget Sound, Wash.
When Guam and Tutuila came under
the American flag, the officers of the
navy stationed there at once busted
themselves in improving sanitary con-
ditions at their stations. At Guam the
water supply received attention, and
ice and an evaporating plant were es-
tablished, and the engineering know1-
edge came in well in treating the sew
SAoSC PioOicu. luOuSn sanitary con-
ditions were much improved, it was de-
cided best for the health of the ma
rine guard stationed at Guam to give
the men, whenever practicable, a
change of service after couple of
years at the island At the station of
Tutuila, a small force of natives has
been enlisted to serve as an armed
guard. In Hawaii, a site has been re-
served for the erection of a marine
hospital, felt to be of special need in
Hawaii, which is visited, in passing,
by so many of our vessels. At all the
stations, there are IN progress con-
slant improvements in the facilities
for handling coal.
The men who are to be stationed at
Guantanamo and Bahia Honda will not
find their health menaced as it would
have been few years ago, before the
American sanitary engineers began
their work for the regeneration Of
Cuba. Yellow fever has lost its once
strong grip on the island, and the cli-
mate is in the main salubrious. And
the land is at peace as perhaps it has
never been before. Gen. Wood "setCu

Cur Trade with China.

Compared with our vast trade wit

more than drop in the bucket. The
Chinese trade is not now a dollar per
capita. and it is safe to say that it
will never reach the double of that
majority. The fact is that the peo-

tatiocs. Coffee plantations cover the
hills overlooking Guantanamo bay, and
.he rich dark green of the bushes adds
to the deep verdure of the slopes. The
coffee bushes, lemon ana lime trees
contribute largely not only to the land
scape but very considerably to the
income of the owners thereof. Mr..
Hill, in his interesting book, "Cuba and
Porto Rico" tells Of a rich planter,
living in a asuperb old mansion just out
of Guantanamo, that received an an
nual income of over $50 900 from the
fruit and coffee grown on the estate
where his mansion stood.
This eastern portion of Cuba is one
of the worlds finest regions for cof-
fee culture, especially that portion ly-
ing between Santiago and Guanta-
namo. In the extreme eastern part,
east of Guantanamo, the country
shows less sign of cultivation. There
are only few habitations; a hand
full of huts, and the lighthouse that
stands SO solitary at the point of the
island.
In 1899 there were about 1000 miles
of public railways in Cuba. The west
ern part of the island, around Havana,
enjoyed by far the greater part of the
transportation advantages. In the
east, only short lines were to be found,
the town of Santiago de Cuba being
the center for three such railways.
The most eastern of the Cuban rail-
roads was the line running from the
town of Guantanamo south to the sea-
port La Caimanera, distance of ten
miles, and north to Jamaica, six miles
away. AT the close of the Spanish
American war, the need of trunk line
from one end of Cuba to the other
was felt to be urgent; and Mr.. Robert
I. Porter, appointed by President Nc
Kinley to report on industrial, com
mercial and financial conditions in the
islands, recommended the Importance
of such railroad system. Within
year Of the close of the war, a route
was surveyed from Santiago 400 miles
westward, to the eastern terminus of
the road running from Havana. The
line is now completed, and branch lines
will soon be opened. Havana and San
tiago are now connected. and before
long the important seaboard cities
will be included in the syst an.

eNx2M two new naval stations in
SAk the West Indies, Guanta-
nGAA namo and Bahia Honda, are
SN1NS considered most desira BILE.
They were approved, after
personal inspection, by Sec
retary of the Navy Moody, aided by
number of prominent officials, men,
bers of the naval committees. Guam
tanamo, which will be our principal
naval station in the West Indies, is To-
Gated on the south coast of Cuba; Ba-
hia Honda, on the north coast, not
far from Havana.
Guantanamo bay cuts into the south
ern coast of the east end of Cuba, a
portion of the island that presents a
somewhat rugged character, feature
of the ruggedness being a series of
abrupt terraces rising to height of
600 feet and more. The narrow noun
tain range, the Sierra Maestro, ex-
tends from Guantanamo almost direct
ly west to Cape Cruz. The Sierra
Maestro, which is very precipitous,
closely follows the coast line. One
peak, the Pico del Turquino. attains a
height of s,60e"feet, and other peaks
of the range reach to $500 and 5000
feet. The mountains, wooded from
base to summit, are of indescribable
beauty.
The unique combination of tropical
foliage with rugged landscape features
gives Guantanamo a setting most un-
usual. Lime and lemoE groves abound
in the coast country; the bay is beau
