Consul Holiday has transmitted to the
State Department a copy Of the letter
he received from Gen. EstenoZ, the negro
chIeftain. This letter is the one in which,

into his camp. TO witness the outragss
committed, he declares, upon innocent
men and women by the Cuban soldiers.
II is not the present intention OF Sec

at the department that the negro leader

LATEST NOVELTY
FOR THE TEA TABLE
Comes in inexpensive Japanese
Sidji Ware.

To have the porch tea table up to date
and beyond criticism, the impromtu
hostess must be constantly on the look
out for little novelties in the way OF
equipment.
One Of the latest Of these novelties is
the tea set Of deep green or yellow por-
celain which comes in the comparatively
inexpensive japanese Sidji ware, and is
more effective when used for veranda
entertaining.
The outfit consists Of cups and saucers
for tea or chocolate, both sorts Of pots,
two sizes Of plates, and bonbon dishes
in leaf shape. II the hostess has but one
guest, she dispenses with a teapot and

Chambermaids Refuse to Attend
Meeting Called for Forming
Maids Union.

The attempt OF Paul Cavenaugh. finan-
cial secretary OF the International Hotel
Workers Union, TO organize the hotel
chambermaids of the city last night
proved sadly abortive. The headquarters
Of the local branch OF. the International
Union at 1881 G Street Northwest, were
placed in readiness for the reception Of
large assemblage Of women, and a
speaker was procured for the occasion,
but the evening hours slipped slowly
by and not one OF the LOO chambermaids
Of the National Capital made her ap-
pearance.
Mrs. EsteIle G. Feigenbaum, OF New
York. who IS intensely interested in hotel
conditions, was TO have delivered the
address to the women. The hour for the
meeting was set at $50 o'clock. But 8
O'Clock, and finally 10 o'clock, rolled
around and not a chambermaid. entered
the hall In despair Mr.. Cavenaugh,
Mrs. Feigenbaum, and three right hand
supporters arose and with bowed heads
silently left the hall.
Another attempt to organize will be
made within several weeks. Mr.. Cav
enaugh, who played an active part in the
recent trouble between the local hotel
managers and walters, attributed the
utter failure Of the meeting to the fact
Inat Ine motel managers nao evidently

Il have reason TO believe that the food
given the hotel employees Of the city Is
far from pure and wholesome" said
Mrs. Feigenbaum last night. In many
cases II is not better than garbage. The
employees are fed what the guests leave.
The wages are much too low here. The
average chambermaid receives between
$12 and S14 per month. For this remu-
neration she is required to take charge
OF fifteen rooms.
Many unjust and unreasonable fines
are imposed upon the chamberrdaids. In
some holtelries fines are imposed for
smiling and laughing and talking. In
other hotels the chambermaids are fined
II they fail to put clean sheets in beds,
Such fines are ridiculous"
Mrs. Feigenbaum will leave the city
within a day or two, but will return and
try again.

The hostess passed to each lady a well
washed potato Of rather long, slender
shape. Then each one was given four
small wira- hairpins, four small black
tscks, two fancy paper napkins with
gayly colored borders, and a supply Of
pins. There were scissors and tubes Of
library paste.
The order was to construct a doll, with
prizes to be awarded for the best and

and none had manufactured potato"
dolls before, nearly every one confessed
to the "clothes-pin" variety. and II was
surprising the array Of attractive little
figures that emerged from the hands OF
these erstwhile creative artists.
The haiTpins were used for arms and
legs. the tacks made eyes, nose, and
mouth, and it was astonishing the va
riety OF facial expressions achieved. All
sorts OF garments were made from the
napkins, which were pinned and pasted
into shape. There were babies, children,

with fluffy meringue. The consolation

tatoes in a most charming green basket.
