 Green Khaki Suit.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-The attention of the military authorities has been drawn to the service uniform of the American army, and it's qualities of serviceability and invisibility are greatly admired At the conclusion of the recent guard maneuvers at Kras- noye-Selo Emperor Nicholas summoned Major Gibson in order to make a per sonal inspection of the olive green khaki which the major was wearing, saying that he had been watching 1t for several days and had been struck by its inconspicuousness at compara- lively short distance. and he desired to call the attention of Minister of War Rudiger to the uniform.
 Major Gibson later, at General Rudi- gers invitation, called at the ministry of war and showed the general suits of infantry and cavalry uniforms. The military authorities also are consider ing American accouterments, includ- Ing web cartridge belts and cavalry saddles, with view to their adoption.

ArO0nu tnc WOTAOs
 COPENHAGEN, Aug. 25.-Another link in the great telegraphic chain around the world has been completed by the Great Northern Telegraph com pany, and its Iceland cable win be opened to public traffic Aug. 27. For the present communication over this line is possible only with Seydisfjord, on the east coast of. Iceland, as the land lines which the Iceland govern ment Is building connecting Seydisfjord with all the main towns and ending at Reykjavsk, the capital are yet uncom- pleted.
 The first section. 215 nautical miles, was laid from the Shetland islands to the Farce islands in ten days by the cable steamer Cambria, and 1t was then finally spliced. The first message sent was from King Frederick greeting his subjects on the distant islands, In reply to which his maSsty received an address from the people of the Farce islands to which 192 signatures are at tached. The last section, S27 nautical miles. connects Thorshavn, the capital of the Faroe islands. with Sedyisfjord.

CUBA'S REVOLUTION
All Eyes Are on the City oi
 Pinar del Rio,
THE CENTER OF. THE CAMPAIGN.
On Its Capture by insurgents De- pends success of the Rebellion. Government Sends More
 Troops There.

HAVANA, Aug. 25.-All eyes in Cuba are turned toward the provincial capl- tai of Pinar del Rio. for upon the abil- ity of Pino Guerrn to capture that city depends, it Is believed here, the out come of the instruction. The occu- pancy by the insurgents of the towns southwestward of Pinar del Rio is con- sidered to be only preliminary to movement on Pinar del Rio.
 A serious question ls whether the populations of the captured towns and that of the fhickly settled and marvel ously rich Vuelta Abajo tobacco re zion surrounding them will join Guer- ra's forces. If they do. the insurgent leader will approach Pinar del Rio in overwhelming force
 The outcome depends on the loyalty of the people. It is undenlable that Guerra Is gathering hundreds of vet srans and others under his leadership, and 1t is impossible to estimate the sincerity of the people In Pinar del Rio. who have been looked upon as likely to support the government
 A detachment of 250 Cuban artillery men from Havana have reached Pinar del Rio. where they win cooperate with the rural guards and volunteers. These artilierymen. however. can only act ss infantry. as they have not been trained to use field guna A hospital corps and other details ars following the artillerymen in readiness for what is expected to bs ( short and decisive campaign.
 Considerable sympathy is developing in Havana for General Gomez who is commonly believed to be too broad minded c patriot to mix himself up in revolutionary schemes.
 Uncouarmed rumors arc in circula- ton that several hundred insurrection- lists have taken the neld in the province sf Santiago. and uprisings are reported from many points In Santa Clara and Matanxas provinces.
 The first encounter in Santa Clara province occurred yesterday. A de tac6ment of rural guards attacked an insurFent band, commanded by Manuel Gonzales. between sanfo Domingo and Colon The insurgents were scattered and some of their srms and ammuni- sion were capfured

Professional yachtsmen tried to per suade them not to attempt to go to sea, but they did not heed the warning and sailed away. In making long tack towards Brigantine beach the yacht was carried on the dangerous bar out side the inlet The mast snapped on, and the boat began pounding on the sand. The captain of a large yacht saw the accident. but. h.ving on board a number of passengers. he did not care to endanger their lives by going too near the bar While the five men were clinging to their craft, momentar- fly expecting to be washed to their death. hero in the person of John Johnson, a Swedish fisherman. went to .he rescue in q fraIl gasoline launch ae iid not falter in the face of the storm. and after . hard struggle h ShIch his little boat was tossed about by the waves he managed to get along side the Virginia ard took the five men on.

 Gomez added that he had been ar rested because many of his friends were in arms, and he reiterated his de nial of compllcity in the insurrection. He made no complaint of the treat ment which he had been subjected to as prisoner.

Bid For State Road Work.

According to the one bid made
for the contract for part of the
State road to connect Baltimore
and Washington it will cost be-
tween $35, 200 and $40, 900 to build
four and one half miles of that
highway. When Mr.. w. w.
Crosby, the Chief Engineer of the
High way Commission, prepared to
open bids for the work Saturday,
he found just one proposal. 1t
came from Mr.. John F. Killeen, a
contractor of Washington. Not a
Maryland firm bid for the work.
Mr.. Killeen is a contractor who
has done much railroad work and
who is now building road under
the Geological Survey in Mont
gomery county.
Under the act appropriating
800, 900 for the highway to Wash
ington provision was made for the
employment of convict labor.
There are a number of obstacles in
the way of making use of the pris-
oners at the House of Correction,
and the bid for the road was made
without taking this feature of the
act into consideration. If it is
found feasible to employ convicts,
they will probably be employed on
another part of the road.
The law provides that the road
shall not be less than 80 feet wide
and not more than 60 feet. The
construction of the highway will
begin near Laurel and extend in
both directions. Already the State
has built a mile and a half of road
that can be used as a part of the
new highway. This mile and a
half added to the four miles and a
half that could be built under the
present bid, would make six miles
of road in all. This is about one
quarter of the entire length of the
road, and will take more than a
third of the appropriation. Of the
800, 900 appropriated, $4,000 is
available now, another $50, 900 will
be available by October 1 and a
little later the third $4,000.
Then another appropriation will be
necessary to finish the road.
