Of Interest to Women

''The fact that impressed itself most
upon me in Paris this summer" said
Mr.. Blum, was the manner in which
the renowned arbiters of fashion now
give the preference to American re-
quirements instead of landing their
best efforts and most serious study to-
ward gowning the European god
desses.
Formerly your French couturier
would not even deign to consider Miss
COlumbfa's desire for new frocks until
his more important patrons nearer
home had been humored and satisfied.
After they had been fixed up with
all that was novel and striking in the
matter of dress. then 1t was time
enough to turn to la belle Americana.
But times change, and customs change
with them.
"Now 1t is the American woman,
with her shapely figure and command
ing carriage, who gives the great Par
isian masters most concern when new
styles for another season have to be
created. If the latest design is be-
coming to milady from the United
States, and the style appeals to her
good taste and excellent judgment,
1t is an easy enough matter to adopt
the same ideas, with perhaps some
minor notifications, to the women of
other countries who worship at the
shrine of the French modesto"

task in putting down the revolt" The
article then continues:
AS matters stand, the disorder is
most acute in the Vuelta Abajo and
Partido sections, though there is also
trouble on a smaller scale in the
Remedies district. The planting of the
new Vuelta and Partido crops is due
in about week or so, and should the
disorder continue, say till November
LIST it is feared that planting opera
tors may be hindered if not entirely
stopped. The present supply of to-
bacco will be barely adequate to carry
the trade over till the next crop comes
on the market, and should the latter
be eliminated an unprecedented famine
must prevail, and prices already alb
normal soar to prohibitory figures.
AS far as Remedies tobacco is con-
cernei. the outlook Is not quite SO
serious as while the planting in the
Vuelta and Partido districts must take
place within short time. that in the
Remedies section can be deferred to
a later date.
AS for this years packings, they can
be but little affected, for while con-
siderable packing of Remedies is yet
to be done, there Is but little disorder
in that section as yet, and the Vuelta
and Partiio packing is almost COM
Dleted. None the less should the revc
luton be prolonged and the Vuelta and
Partidos planting be prevented, in
view of the prospective shortage,
prices on present holdings must nee
essarily begin to advance straightway.

GUNS AND SHOT FOR CUBA.
Two Million Rounds Of Cartridges and
Two Thousand Rifles Sent.

"The situation in Cuba is much more
serious than is known here" was the
statement made by an official of the
Cuban government to the New York
Tribune, who arrived in New York
from the island by water of Tampa.
Further evidence of the seriousness of
the uprising against the Palma govern
ment was furnished by the shipment
on the steamer Mexico, for Havana, of
a veritable arsenal Of arms and am
munftion for the army. This ship
ment, which was the largest sent to
Cuba since the days of the last insur-
rection against Spain, consisted of
100000 rounds of ammunition, 1000
Remington rifles and eight rapid fire
guns of type especially fitted for use
In the mountains, where 1t is expected
much Of the fighting will take place.
The shipment was made by the NJ
Hartley company, on direct cable
order from the government at Havana.
The order was received on Thursday
and was for immediate shipment,
which indicates the extent to which
the government expects to operate to
suppress the uprising.
The rifles were packed twenty in a
case, of which there were 100, while
the cartridges were shipped in 400
cases, each containing 5000.
1t was said that further shipment
would be made in few days, probably
next Thursday. The steamer Mexico
will arrive at Havana on Wednesday.
The vessel also carried full COM
plement of passengers, mostly Cubans
and there were many more in this city
yesterday who could not obtain pas
sage.
One Of the passengers was Indale-
clio Sobrado. governor of Pinar del
Rio province, where the rebellion is
strongest. He is hurting home to use
his influence in the suppression of the
trouble.
"The cause of the insurrection is
politics. and nothing more" he said.
ut will be ended in short ORDER"
The family of Governor Emilio
Nunex also sailed on the Mexico.
Several core cable dispatches in
cipher were received yesterday at the
Cuban consulate from Havana, but
their contents were not divulged.

nal," in discussing in its current is

Winnipeg Free Press: A great
battle has ragged in political circles in
England recently over the naval pro-
gram, with the result that the party
recommending decrease has won a
victory. 1t was originally planned to
lay down four battleships of the type
of the Dreadnought. The admiralty
insisted that this was necessary in
order to maintain the traditional policy
by which the navy is to be equal to
the combined fleets of the two next
powerful nations. However, a party
in the cabinet was determined to re-
duce expenditure, and after a bitter
struggle it was decided that three
battleships Of the Dreadnought class
should be laid down instead of four;
that two torpedo boats should be
built instead of i've, and that there
should be eight new submarines in
stead of twelve.
The expenditure as originally esti-
mated was $70,O00.00O. In the new pro-
gram submitted to parliament it is
reduced to $57,500,000.
Equal to Any Three Now.
AS a matter of fact the British navy
is at present equal to any three, and
in 1910 will be more than equal to a
combination of the two next most
powerful navies. In respect of battle
ships af1oat or in course of construc-
ton, the situation is as follows:

CAN'T COMPLY.
An Amusing Feature Found In New
Railroad Rate Law.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington. Sept. 3.-Although the
railroad rate bill went into effect on
Tuesday last the railroads have not
complied with its terms in some re-
spects, and probably they never will.
The reason is that 1t is a physical
impossibility to do so. The new law
requires every railroad to post in each
station along its line complete copy
of passenger and freight tariff to ev-
cry other point in the country.
The railroads have pointed out to
the commissioners that to comply with
the letter of the law in this respect
Is absolutely impossible. Not one o.
them has yet been able to prepare
such schedule as the act requires,
and not one of them has a force of
expert rate clerks to enable It to make
a schedule.
Besides this, 1t is argued that there
is scarcely station in the country
with sufficient wall space to accom-
mOdate the table of rates when COM
pleted.
ut would be necessary to have
building at each railway station as big
as convention hail." said one of the
and in consequence 1t is likely that
the law will be modified in that respect
II the commission decides that 1t has
any discretionary powers.
The express companies. who for the
first time. are made common carriers
by the new law, are asking further
time In which to file their rate sheets
with the commission. This is not sur
prising, for no one, not even the agent
of these companies, ever has been able
to figure out an express rate twice the
same way.
An instance of this was cited before
the commission when member OF
congress showed that he had sent his

NIAGARA's RIVAL.
Falls of Iguazu in Some Respects Sur
pass North American Waterfall.

In the heart of South America, at
the meeting place of three republics,
Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, ma
ture has chosen the site for a MASTER
piece of scenic grandeur, to be COM
pared only to the mighty Niagara in
majesty, and pronounced by some of
the few travellers who have seen it
to be even greater than its North
American counterpart.
The Falls of Iguazu, to which Marie
Robinson Wright refers in her article
in "The National Geographic Maya
zine," are at the junction of the
lguazu river with the Upper Parana,
in territory famous as the original
locality of the Jesuit missions estab-
lished in the sixteenth century. the
ruins of which may still be seen by
those who visit the falls. In the
course of the upper Parana there
are many notable waterfalls. but none
of the others equal the magnificence
of the 1guazu. Until recently the in
accessibility of this region prevented
its being known to any but daring
travellers, willing to bear the fatigues
and discomforts of many days, journey
across the pampas and through the
forest, under the blaze of a tropical
sun and subject to the annoyance Of
innumerable insects, with no accom-
modations along the route. or at the
end of it, except such as the traveller
himself could provide. but now that
the Argentine government has recog-
nized the importance of opening up
this route regular excursions take
many visitors to Iguazu from Buenos
Ayres and other places.
The cateract of Niagara makes
clear leap in an enormous sheet of
water twenty feet thick over a preci-
pice varying from $50 to $50 feet in
height Above the falls is broad ex-
panse of river while below Is a narrow
gorge through which the water is
forced in a rapid torrent. The Falls
of Iguazu offer a notable contrast to
Niagara in many important features.
for as the river make sa sharp bend
tn emain volume OF water rushes
around the inner bank and is discharg-
ed into long, narrow gorge. at one
point making a plungs of 210 feet.
Not all the volume of the river Is re-
ceived at this place, however. the rest
of the water runnig out past it into
the wide elbow formed by the bend,
and circling along the further shore
among many rocks and islands before
reaching the edge of the cliff. where
it makes the descent in two great
leaps Of hundred feet each. in a vost
semi-circle of 5000 feet.
The scenery surrounding Iguazu
Falls is In peculiar harmong with the
solemn grandeur of the cataract. The
roar of the water is more impressive
from the solitude of the spot and the
eternal silence that reigns in the dense
forests that mark its border. The
traveller" continues the writer, may
look in vain the world over for rival
to the charm and seductive beauty OF
these falls as th'v plunge out of the
recesses Of semi-tropical forest at
hundred differc gr nts. Here nature
revels in perfect abandon and presents
a spectacle seldom seen in these days..
