OPERA SINGERS ~ 4 0UANDARF.
They Delay for Three Hours n ship About
to start for Havana.

An unusual spectacle was that seen on
Saturday AT Pier 3. North River where the City
OF Vera Cruz. a Havana steamship was whiting
for the passengers that TO set sail in her at
3 3o'clock. On the passenger list were the names
OF forty singers and actors. OF whom many. IL
not all. had been performing in the theatres OF
this city. They had been engaged by n Mr.. Nc
kinley to perform Fatnitza' and "Pinatore"
in the Theatre Tacon in Havana. and there-
after In the City Of Mexico, under the name Of
" The Fifth Avenue Opera Troupe" They had
been promised free passage there and return
with proper board and other accommodations,
besides their salaries which were to be paid
weekly II had also been stipulated that they
should receive one weeks salary in advance
prior to their departure.
Various members Of the company had. at one
stage and another OF the preliminary negOtia-
tOns. entertained misgivings rs to the wisdom
OF making three months soIourn in the hot
attitudes AZ thls season OF the year. These mis-
givngs had been augmented bv a delay In the
advance payment OF salary. The troupe sup
posed, however. that they would certainly re-

CONSPIRACY CHARGED.
Editor Watter.on Makes Gov. Hendricks the
Subject OF some Remarka


LOUISVILLE, June 2-Concerning his re-
cent denunciation OF Gov. Hendricks. Henry
Watterson is reported to have said to-day
to a correspondent who interviewed him:
Il take itthRt the folly OF Gov. Hendricks's con-
duct the last few months is apparent to every
sensible person He has no more chance Of
the Presidency except on the ticket with Mr.
Tilden, than you have. or all men. his nomi-
nation by National Democratic Convention is
impossible. While Mr.. Tilden lives Gov. Hen
bricks has no political entity. and represents no
partisan quality save as Mr.. Tlden's prehensile
or nppendage HIS nom nation over Mr. Tilden
would be such n rebuke and such an undeservOd
rsbuke. and would create such srhism and
such needless and fatal schism a. no party
would dare 10 face. That Gov Hendricks does
not see so plain case sufficiently proves his
foolishness.
In spite Of II no has gone on in covert. un-
manly way to belittle Mr. Tilden. and. by de-
utchlng himself from the idol represented by
them Jointly. to make himself the catspaw Of
those who seek 10 dethrone IL. In this matter
looking 70 his own elevation at the expense Of
his chief. he has played the part OF n cOnspira-
tor. John Kelly is now engaged in an intrigue
with the Republicans to lose US New York next
lF. Gov. Hendricks is John kelly's man and
II matters not how fast or loose the relation
ship. or how familiar he may be with the de-
tails OF the scheme, he cannot escape the asso-
citation and ts attendant plan TO set aside and
disgrace Mr.. Tilden.
In my ascrption Of all this might have
used milder language. am sorry, on my own
behalf. that l oVerstepped the bounds Of cour-
tesy. but am no more proof against the rude
promptings Of an honest Indignation than other
men. and am in the habit. at times. OF using a
vernacular that were better honored In the
breach than the observance"

struction OF his new telegraph lines.

GRAFTON in aiew months. Mr.. Sage said that his
