WASHINGTON, Jan. l5--Fearful
that Americans or other foreigners.

be injured in the rebel attack on Aca-

today requested Secretary OF Navy
Meyer to send a warship to the Mex

accordingly ordered south, and will
sail tomorrow.
The Denver carries 257 men, 100
Of whom are available for landing

The Denver leaving San Diego to-
morrow, is due to reach Acapulco on

Alarming reports having reached

N MATERIALS for the autumn are

N MATERIALS for the autumn are WI marvelousIy beautiful. All
 the crepe finished silks are to be extensively worn. Charmeuse satin retains its imGSTtant place and also many of tbe poplin weaves will be seen while there are novelties almost without n2mber. In the first group Is shown 8 gown of broch& crepe with trimming of satin and collar of lace. The little puckered up drapery in both the skirt and the blouse makes an important feature. The back of the skirt forms a panel and this panel can be extended to make a little train but the greater number of girls will like it cut off in walking length As a matter of course, plain crepe or char mouse could be substituted for the broChe but the combination shown here Is an excellent one. The three successive gowns illustrate variations of the panel idea and panels make a somewhat important feature of pre- vailine modes. The striped gown IS made of a silk and wool novelty with collar and cuffs of a Cubist silk that gives just a touch of bright color. The skirt gives the tunic idea but 1t Is really all in one, with the upper DOT tions being stitched to the lower portion and the panel sufficiently within the edge to carry out the idea. The trimming of buttons and slmu- lated button-holes makes a good effect. In place of the striped material, re- versed for the trimming portions, could be used a contrasting one, and plain material made up with striped or with figured would make a smart effect for combinations will be much used and manufacturers are especially catering to gowns of the sore. The very narrow panel shown on the seated fgIlre can be utilized for embroidery or for lace quite as well as for con- trasting material As the gown Is shown here, it is made of the new China crepe that is heavier than crepe de chine and wonderfully beautiful The collar and panel are of heavy lace and the chemisette is of tucked chiffon. The gown of checked material shows overlapped edges with wedge shaped panel and the panel and collar are made of plain charmeuse satin while the gown itself is of checked ma terial combining silk and wool. The dropping shoulders and the rolling collar with lace jabot are especially smart
