TROOPS ARE SURE
 TO LEAVE CUBA

Washington, December 9.-Secretary Wright of the war department today stated that he knows of no reason to change the plan for the complete evac- uation of Cuba by American troops. This statement was made after a con ference with Governor Magoon.
 The secretary today spent much time in considering the proposed purchase of the steamers Shawmut and Fremont, now at Seattle, Wash, for use as trans ports by the Panama railroad. The only obstacle to this purchase is tie price asked for the vessels, which is $1,500,000, the exact amount appropri- ated by Congress for the purchase of transport for this purpose.

ming on linen costumes. The coarse
linen called crash is being made up
into stunning suits, and a novel braid
used on them is a self colored twisted

stripe of color is much in vogue and is
finished sometimes with col red
bands of finer linen. 4 handsome
costume of printed pique was shown
at a fashionable house the other day.
The colors were duh blues and reds in
a quaint floral design The dress
was cut in Empire sty'e and the
panels were piped with black tafe' a.
The hem of the skirt was finishe !
with a shaped band similarly piped.
There was an inverted plating of
ecru Brussels net set between the
panels and on this was applied circles
from the printed pattern of the
pique. The bodice was of the Direc-
tiore style, mainly of black tqffeta ar.
ranged in fichu effect and having a
square front plastron of pique piped
