CREATH-LAssETER co.

A visit to the Creath- Lasseter Com pany store impressed upon one the fact that spring had slipped from the lap of winter, leaving not a sugges- tion that the old season had ever ex- isted. Everywhere one looked, beau tiful flower hats and spring garments abounded- The showing was more com- prehenstve than any former season, and the management expressed themselves as delighted with the results.

THE MONTGOMERY FAIR

 It was like a visit to rose garden in visitin-; the Montgomery Fair. That this Is to be rose year was evidenced at a glance.

 Another was very much admired large dropping shape in three shades of rose with a garniture of soft roses in all shades of rose around the crown and on one side soft bunch of French foliage a foidy of gold ribbon which crosses the crown. This Is a Virot Model.

dealing with unruly prisoners. Lavas- tida was recently dismissed from the rural guard. He served with distinc- tion in the Cuban war of independence, and had many friends in Santa Clara province. by whom the summary kill ing doubtless will be bitterly resented
 According to. an official statemen, given out at the palace. Lavastida started the conspiracy against the gov ernment for the purpose of securing political favors by threats.
 It Is alleged that Lavastida induced Cortes to take the field by representa- tions that by so doing he would alarm the government and create so great danger of another American interven- ton that his demand for an army commission would be instantly grant ed. The government claims they had been informed of the conspircy sever. al weeks ago and President Gomez then fully determined not to temporize with the revolutionists and to embrace the opportunity to make a striking ex- ample of the leaders For tiils pur- pose. he directed great concentration of troops in the vicinity of Vueltas in order to make short work of the af- fair. Persons in Havana, we'll &C., quainted with Cortes. report him as an experienced bush fighter. probably ac- companied by aNstrong party capable of making desperate resistance to the government troops.
 All other sections of the island shows complete tranquility and the govern ment Is fully satisfied that the Vueltas affair Is purely spasmodic
 Local stocks on the Havana eX- change again declined heavily today and the trading was practically at a standstill. Business interests general ly jeplore the outbreak, which. while possibly unimportant in itself has given severe blow to public conf dence from which it will not readily recover.

THE FAsHIoN sHoP.

The colonial bun walls of The Fash ion Shop made a pleasing background for the lovely gowns and other gar ments on display at the opening yes- terday. Potted plants added to the at tractiveness of the environment. Here were seen many fetching togs for wo- mankind. among them a gown of pale blue satin, after an original design by iCallot, modelled on Grecian lines--the draperies being of black net embroid- cred with gold-a striking combination of gold and cut jet. Another exquis- ite evening gown was shown In pale pink satin and cloth of silver after the flowing lines of the empire by Dre- coll, who has emphasized the short scant sleeves of this season. and the over draperies of black net in this costume are distinctly novel.
 An afternoon costume of black Duch- ess satin with the new feature intro- duced by the Merovingian style. after a design by Paquin, was daintiy trim med with gold embroidered net and cut jet cobochons.
 An attractive afternoon gown of black and white Foulard has yoke and sleeves of silver net and white ap- plique, the long lines of the Dagobert styles being emphasized by black vel vet ribbons and cut steel buttons.
 A beautiful collection of white lin- gerie gowns. 'Ie Femme Tube, by Cheruit includes one with hand em- broidered front any tiny tucks put in by hand. Another of all-over "Broi- derie Anglaise" sand real cluny lace, compels attention. Entire coats of lace or braided nets are much in evil dence to be worn with these costumes as three piece suits. Lace coats in both black and white are generally popular for dressy wear. N
 Among number of hand embroid- cred linen coat suits after Margarine Le- croix models, is a most attractive white linen with points of pink and an elab crate rose garland design embroidered on coat and skirt. Also a 'an linen morning suit. with scattered design embroidered in white on coat and skirt attracts the eye. A heavy Irish linen in self color Is tailored with touches of black satin on princess skirt and Wat teau coat.

 Aftef withholding jews of the trouble aal day; the palade officials to- night announced that tAe father of two members of the band headed by Sergeant Cortez. of the rural guard, had intercepted General Monteagua- do, chief of the guard at Camajuani, and told him that the insurgents im- plorea the clemency of the government and were anxious to surrender on the promise that their lives would be spared. General Monteaguedo, accom- panied by a strong escort, thereupon started for the insurgent camp. The general expected to receive their sur render before morning.
 While the government still insists that the band consists of only eight men, it is alleged that the movement is far reaching and includes a large number of those whom have become discontented with the way affairs have been conducted.
 It Is declared on apparently respon- sible authority that Cortes is accom- panied by fully ten men, mounted and well armed. More gratifying to the government than the prospective cap ture of the insurgent band, was the ar rest and subsequent killing of form CT Captain Lavastida. of the rural guard. who is believed to have been the principal instigator of the uprising Layastida was arrested last night by Major Arteaga. of the rural guard and charged with conspiracy.
