All the leading Cloak Fabrics on
the market this season are rough
and nappy in effects.
Jackets are short 20 to 30 Inches
long and mostly of the Reefer type,
simple, modified or exaggerated in
design, as your fancy may dictate.
Big Sleeves hi Mandoline and other
new shapes are correct.
Capes aire tdnzle or double, and
average e!ixu.t 30 Inches deep.
fTrlmminfrs in some cases are almost

INTERVIEW WITH A LEADER
r
Fidel ti. Merra, o Prominent Citizcn.Talk
Entertainingly I'pon the Situa
tion on the Isluud of
I' nre -t.
New York, Sept. 30. The New York
Times will puiiHyh tomorrow an In
terview wkh Fidel O. Ph-rra, a prom
inent Cuban, and leader of -thought
among his countrymen. Mr. Pierra Is
well-known In 'the United States. He
was elected by the linked representa
tives of t'he South American republics
as secretary of 'the Pan-American con
gress, 'held In Washington during the
'Harrison administration. Mr. Pierra
has stood up for many years for the
policy of evolution Instead of revolu
tion, which he advocated by pen and
word.
In contradiction to statements made
by Seiior Montoro, a leader of the
Autonomist party, Mr. Pierra presents
facts to show the extent and strength
of- the Cuban revolution, the entire dis
ruption and dissolution of the Auton
omist party, many of whose promin
ent members are in the Cuban army,
and the critical condition of the Span
ish treasury. Mr. Pierra further shows
that Spain will never grant Cuba a
self-government, and In support of It
presents declaration made 'both by
Premier Canovas Del Castillo and hy
Senor SaEta, the Under of the Llh-
uls, when he held tt he 'position which
Senior Canovas now holds. Mr.-Plena
holds that there s no other avenue
left to the Cubans 'but to tight for their
independence.
The Monopolists Thrive.
Neither Senor Montoro nor other
Cubans calling themselves Autonom
ists, Mr. Pierra says, have the right to
speak in the name of ti'e Cuban people,
for they are no more than tw?nty-four
or thirty gentlemen withuut any follow
ing and closely allied to the Spanish
government and to the monopolists
who thrive under Its cover.
Mr. Pivrra declar?s that war waged
by the Cubans Is not directed against
the Spaniardsresldent inthe Island who
honestly make their living, but ex
clusively against the Spanish govern
ment. Mr. Pierra feels coii'fMor.t that Spain
will not be able to subdue the rebels,
for these will ilpht to the bitter end.
well knowing that the triumph of
Spain will mean for the rulans politi
cal, economical and woeial anihlhlkition.

revolutionists, .calls on the Pulled
States to recognize tin in as belllger
ar.:s and ask other coumiiie to Join
in making this demand. Tr.ty began
with the best known paragraph In the
declaration of independence, and with
determination to continue the work be

and over this all the cars and the front
truck of the passenger car passed In
safety, but the rear truck picked the
