for Manila.
Manila, Jan. 7.--The governors .of
various Philippine provinces have vise-
ited Aguinaldo offering him their
conditional allegiance to the F31331111,
republic and declaring that the prom:
are disposed to give up their lives e'w‘
property in a struggle against the
forcing of any domination over the 1.3
lands.
Several of the Filipino military chi i."
have urged Aguinaldo to fight the Am—
ericans. ~ '
The Spanish newspaper Oceania, in
an article commenting. upon the proc-
lamation issued by General Otis, says:
“We venture to predict that the eff 311
of the proclamation will not be vczy
favorable.”
The Independencia, the leading or-
gan of the insurgents, says in an a1t1
cle discussing the proclamation:
“If America persists in disavo‘.‘ .in
our acquired rights and flings legion:

lines, she will have a. dark road to

Agoncillo ls Silent.
Washington D. 0., Jan. 7.—-The mem-
bers of the Philippine junta, Agoncillo,
and his secretary, Lopez, have had no
word from Manila as to the alleged
action of Aguinaldo going to Iloilo to
take charge of the insurgent forces.
30th Agoncillo and Lopez read the
dispatches in the papers but when
spoken to replied that they had no in-
formation on the subject.
Mr. Lopez. who speaks English, said
the last word they had from Aguinaldo
came from his headquarters on the
island of Luzon. He did not care to
express an opinion as to the truth of
the report on the situation in the Phi—
lippincs.
“We cannot make a statement," no
said. “until we hear from the' junta in
London, Paris and I-Iong Kong. _ We
have no confirmation of the story re-
cently printed and know nothing of
it except that we see in the papers.
Therefore we cannot speak about it."

A Black and White Redingote Costume.
The redingote, the original model of
which was made in black velvet, repre-
sents a design of extreme elegance.
The back is plainly fitted, and all the
fullness, whichspreads into a graceful
demi-train, is formed into a succession
of inward-turning pleats under the cell’—
tre back seam. The front of the gar-
ment fits perfectly until it reaches a
point within one inch of the centre
front seam. Here it is free from the
lining, and is allowed to slightly pouch.
The revel‘s, which form two large scal-
lops, are faced with white satin (as is
also the collar) and open over a smooth
vest of chiffon horizontally rippled
over satin. The sleeves are of a scant
coat variety, exquisitely fitted.
A band of chinchilla. outlines the
entire garment, the border being fur-
VELVET AND SATIN REDINOOTE COSTUME FROM HARPER'S 8'AZAR a"
ther embellished by narrow appliqued
point lace. The skirt of the redingote
is lined with white satin to a. depth of
twelve inches. This design is one
which will lend itself effective] y to
Kersey, broadcloth, or silken fabrics
having a fine lustre. The proper cut
of the gown is obtained only with the
use of HARPER’S BAZAR cut paper
patterns,
To make the redingote for a person
of medium size, one will require 12
yards of velvet, 2'2. inches wide, and 5
yards of white satin of the same width.
The fur and lace may be estimated and
purchased more economicallyif the edge
of the garment be measured carefully
after fitting. The pattern of the skirt
does not accompany the redingote,
but the prevailing circular design
smoothly fitted over the hips, is here
employed.
