came the Liberal and the Republican
party became the Moderate. By those
titles the parties are known to-day,
although it is difficult to see wherein
either title is particularly fitting as a
definition of the aims and purposes of
the respective organizations. A third
and smaller party, known as the Ma
tional Liberal has some strength in
the vicinity of Havana.
The governmental machinery ran
smoothly enough for the first three
years. The year 1904 developed few
troubles which at that time seemed
to be of little real Importance and of
no particular significance until, soon
after the beginning of 1905, President
Palma definitely allied himself with
the Moderate party. 1t Is possible
now, looking back over the time which
has elapsed since that occurrence, to
see how n number of incidents, some
apparently trifing and some serious.
have united to form the cloud which
now hangs over the island.
On April IT, 1905. Senator Manuel
Sanguily, one of Cuba's ablest and
most respected public men, called at
the palace and virtually charged Pres
ident Palma to his face with the use
of his official position for the advance
ment of his own and his party's in
terests. In the evening of the same
day Gen. Maximo Gomez presided at
an Indignation meeting at the Liberal
club. In his brief address Gen. Gomez
said that he felt the beat of revolu-
in, hn n md ho

the government and to the attempt
to set up an oligarchy." The presi-
Dental campaign, in which this was
one of the opening incidents, was
marked by many unfortunate expe-
riences. \ town hall was burned
Enrique Vieluendas was assassinated,
elected Liberal officials were removed
from their places and Moderates were
appointed to succeed them until there
were few, If any. Liberals left in office
or in government employment. Scores
Of Liberal leaders were arrested on
various pretexts and put in jail. The
situation eliminated in the withdraw.
al of Jose Miguel Gomez. the Liberal
candidate, from a contest which un.
der the circumstances was evidently
hopeless.
The island was ripe for revolt at
that time, but the friends of Cuba
held their faith in her ability to rull
through without a conflict. Their
faith was justified. mainly by the at.
titude of Senior Gomez, who refused
to plunge his country into civil war.
1t was generally believed that the
crisis was past. About three months
ago careful observers noted the reap.
pearance of storm clouds. but encoun.

Removing Ribbon creases.

Ribbons will become creased in spite
of the best care, and hot fiat iron re-
moves but few of these marks of use.
A better plan is this: Take smooth
quart bottle and fill with boiling hot
water. Then wrap a single paper
smoothly around the bottle, wrap the
ribbon around the paper perfectly
smooth and tight and then wrap an
other paper around this and pin in
place. Set 1t aside a day and night
and the ribbon will be beautifully
smooth and new to appearance. Soiled
ribbons may be soaked and squeezed
in weak suds and when rinsed and
dried. ironed in this way. 1t is a very
satisfactory method.

WHITE TAILOR SUITS.
They Are Pretty and viii Be Much In
Vogue for Winter.

Tailor suits of white broadcloth and
serge are made with a touch of black.
One long redingote In broadcloth had
a black silk collar, with little white
embroidery. White cloth princess
costumes are trimmed with black vel.

pockets. cuffs and collar. Sometimes
all of these appear in one gown. An.
other white serge street costume was
in Eton shape. and had vest and cuffs
of black silk laid over with white lace
and white cord. IL was finished with
white silk buttons. with loops of cor
responding cords, and was worn over
white lace blouse. Both white
serges and cloths made for spring
wear are reduced now because soiled,
and as they clean beautifully and
promise to be more worn this winter
than even last. they are a specially
good investment. An all white cloth.
with long redingote, which had been
marked well over 500. was bought
the other day for $50 by woman who
intended 1t for winter wear with black
lynx furs. Another gray spring cloth,
cut in the same shape. was frightened
with red cloth laid over with black
and white braids in narrow rows. and
will be worn this winter with black
furs. 1t is predicted that the redin-
cote will be as popular as ever because
of the tight lines upon which skirts
are fitted. Most of them show seam
down the back and a few new ones
are shown with a fiounce set on just
below the knees.

brown faced cloth. with braid of the
same shade all down the front, with
just a thread of gold interviewer. 1t
was cut with seam below the waist,
having hip pockets outlined with braid

military collar of gold braid. The
skirt was quite plain and braided to
hide the front seam, fitting beautifully
on the hips and just touching the
ground all around, where 1t was slight

Washington.-The uprising in Cuba
is a disappointment to Cuba's friends
and converts into false prophets the

revolt in Cuba seemed as improb-
able as the secession of Vermont.
Local disturbances of no serious i'm
portance have occurred from time to
time, but Cuba is to-day the scene of
widespread revolt.
Cuba had her political parties dur
ing the Spanish regime, and there
were then well defined issues to serve
as basis for party platforms. These
may be defined broadly as reaction,
autonomy and independence. There

Tree Freak in Germany.

A singular maple tree on the left
bank of the Oder, in Germany, is at
least century old, and has been
twisted and cut into a kind of circu-
lar house of two stories. A firm,
leafy floor has been formed by caus-
ing the branches to become gradually
woven together. Above this is a
smaller second floor. similarly formed,
and the ends of the branches have
been woven into solid walls, in which
eight windows on each story have
been cut.

its flight into Egypt. This was donbt-

While Canada cannot object to these
maneuvers, because the naval militia
ships are not equipped with any ord
nance which violates the Rush Bagot
ment of the United States and Great
Britain upon the lakes, the policy Of
the navy department is attracting at
tention among the few diplomats in
Washington who have heard of the pro-
gram devised by Mr.. Newberry. 1t is
pointed out that it would not be diff
cult to arm promptly any naval militia
ships, as all of them are constructed so
! as to stand the strain of gun discharges.
The vessels have been ordered to- meet
in the neighborhood of the straits of
Mackinaw on Aug. 5, and from then
until Aug. l2 will cruise together.
