cUBANS MUST BE GOOD.
Secretary of War Taft Warns the
Islands Inhabitants.

Islands Inhabitants.
Secretary Taft Monday made public
a report on Cuba. Summing up the pur-
poses of the mission to Cuba of himself
and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon
and what was done, Secretary Taft says:
1--WE went to Cuba for the purpose Of
securing peace; when we went we knew
the island was divided between two hos
tile and armed forces, and we desired to
avoid conflict between them for the rea-
son that il would cause loss of life to the
Cubans and great destruction Of prop
erty, large part of which belonged to
American citizens, and it would neces-
sarily require the intervention of Ameri-
can troops and the expenditure of Amer
lean lives and treasure. If this insurrec-
tionary habit persists, if again the Gu
bans divide into armed forces, the strong
hand of our government will have to be
imposed at whatever cost of life and prop
erty, and permanent peace should then
certainly ensue, because it should be of
our own keeping
I'VE hope, however, that no such dras.
tic remedy will be needed and that the
lesson taught in this recent experience of
the evil of unjust methods in elections
will not be without its warning to future
governments in Cuba"

D CHIFFON GOWNS FOR AFTERNOON

a feature of many OF the styles have
chic rivals in these superb and elabor-
ate trimmings that are so lavishIy used
this season Often do the trimmings
cost far more than the materials In the
gown, and the color schemes and the
contrasts that are worked out by them
are without end. Again. by the use
of these trimmings the familiar
straight lines can be evolved from a
most intricate skirt. For instance, with
nounces or wide pleatings 1t is perfect
ly possible to use the straight line and
trimming extensively from waistband
to hem. while on the waist the same
lines are repeated or put on in most
instances to join without break the
lines on the skirt The princess and
empire effects can be suggested and,
indeed. intensified by the trimmings
There can be lines cutting the figure.
and then across the upper part of the
waist can be the hand trimming again
to give the empire line and the effect
of the high bust.
Passementeries. brafds, embroidered
satin and velvet bands and bias bands
of plain cloth. velvet. silk or satin are
all in fashion, and the variety Of color
ing and design has surely never been
surpassed. The entire deux of lace In
sertion and batiste embroidery OF the
finest description are still to be seen
made up with the silk chiffon aud net
gowns. but these can hardly be classed
under the same head as the gowns de-
scribed- For them the heavier laces
and embroideries are more In demand
and far more suitable.
