SAFETY Of THEPRA|R|E
ASSURED BY TELEGRAM
Vessel Carries the Special In
vestigating Commission to
Santo Domingo.

That recently published alarmst re-
ports regarding the safety of the expedi-
ton on the cruiser Prairie were un-
founded was completely established by
the receipt of a telegram at the Navy
Department this morning saying the YES
sci had arrived at Santo Domingo with
all well. Although not SO stated, it is as
sumed at the department that in accord
ance with instructions to ascertain and re-
port conditions in Santo Domingo the
Prairie had cruised around the island and
made short visits to all the important
ports. The lack of telegraphic facilities
at those places is accepted as the ex-
reports to the department Of the move
ments of the vessel.
Carries Force of Marines.
She carries 100 marines and the special
investigating commission, consisting of
Brig. Gen. Frank Mcintyre. chief of the
insuar bureau Of the War Department,
and w. S. T. Doyle, chief of the Latin
American division of the State Depart
ment. Commander A. II. Scales is in
command of the Prairie.
Conditions in Santo Domingo. where
revolutionary movement has been in
progress for the past six months, were
still chaotic "a the date of the last mail
reports-October -. Neither side appears
to have made any progress, and, in fact,
the status was precisely as it stood when
the American commissioners arrived in
Santo Domingo on the Prairie nearly
week before.

landed anywhere up to the 18th, but since
that date the Prairie paid a visit to the
ports on the north coast of the island
some of which were under revolutionary
occupation.

tirely satisfactory to him. At
least, that seems a fair inference
from his interesting letter, part
of which reads as follows:

"There was a candle in every

what time you would be in. They
preferred that you also tell where

stand, in the hallway, either one
candle or several. If there was
only one, it was yours. That
meant that you were the last one
in, and it was your duty to fasten
the chain on the door, turn out
the gas and find your way up

While skirts are not growing az
preciably wider, the tendency is to
break up the severity of the figure
outline, without adding anything to
its size. Plaitings and draperies
that give downward not crosswise
80 lines are used for this purpose.
Plaits are narrow and used in vari.
Gus ways. There is new side
plating, very fine, that has very
much the appearance of accordion
plating. 1t is being used a great
deal in the soft materials chiffon
for evening and fine voiles for alter
noon frocks. Some attempt has
been made to introduce it into light
cloth for street wear. but | very
much doubt its becoming very pop
ular; side-plaitings about an inch
wide seem much more appropriate.
These are introduced into many
new skirts in the old familiar way
Inset at each of the gore seams,
and stitched down tight to flounce
depth. Even then they do not flare,
but are pressed very, very fiat, so
that they show very little move
ment, even in walking, but are there
evidently as a concession to the OBJ
jectors to the narrow skirts. Very
automatically is the old side-plait-
ed flounce around the bottom of the
skirt being suggested, but its day
seems scarcely to have arrived
The most attractive way of using
the plaits. because the most novel
is in a panel, introduced at only
one place on the skirt. It may be
at the front or on one side, but it is
always a distinct group and not re-
peated. The plaits are stitched
down nearly if not quite all the
way. and are pressed flat. They
run from the hem to the waist il
some cases; in others the panel O
plaits is inserted at the hip or a
knee depth.-"What the Dressmak
