A Bad Financial Condition.

HAVANA, July 2S.-The regular
troops quar- tered at Puerto Principe
not having been paid for a long time
and credit being refused them went
to the stores and forcioly supplied
themselves with provisions. The
fact having be- telegrapbed to the
Cal tain General he sent for the Di-
rector General of the Treasury who
declared the only d~isposable money
the government had on the island
was $50, 600 at Villa Clara which was
at once ordered by telegraph to
Havana and thence RENTED to
Puerto Principe. The Spanish war
steamer Conception Rico from Mad
rid has sailing orders, but there being
no fund to pay the crew she could
not leave. Meanwhile her crew is
dying of yellow fever. Up to to-day
sixteen men have fallen victims,
among them two midshipmen, one a
nephew to General Beaumont. (Se-
guido Capo). The Director General
If the Treasury having asked the
we'll known banker, T. NJ. Barges,

Renshaw Opera House.

Another large house greeted the second ap
pearance of the Boston Double Mammoth Uncle
Toms Cabin Company last evening. This fact
alone attests the high appreciation of Butte
theatre goers of the merits of the performance
There certainly can exist no two opinions in
regard to the beautiful acting of the charming
little Eva, or of the magnificent singing by the
negro quartette, however much critics may
differ concerning the merits OF the other per
formers. Uncle Tom was good, and the brutal
Lesre was painfully realistic. Uncle Toms
Cabin has been frequently played in Butte. but
those who have not seen it should avail them
selves of the present opportunity to witness it.
] he play will BE- repeated tonight and omor
row morning the company leaves for Helena.

A Bitter Article,

PARIS. July 28.-The Figaro has q
bitter article declaring that England
never helped, but always thwarted
France. Her friendahip is false and
an alliance with her is hollow.
The same paper advises France to
abandon her relations with England
and give up her prejudices and
hatred and make an alliance with
Germany. Germany was 81 honest
enemy. She has been an honest
enemy.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY

tBY NETTIE NASH RAE.1
A'ter the battle OF the Wilderness q moth,
ears upon the field in search of her boy!
No more the boom Of aunon
Disturbed the field ut night:
The dreadful conflict over,
The blues had won the fight.
Not q SOUND now broke the stiffness
Save the signing of the breeze.
Which seemed t. moan with anguish
As 1t murmured through the trees.
The pale moon rose in splendor.
And her glorious light wa shed
In ftful CLEANS and glances
Der the dying and the dead;
When q voice broke the stiffness
Ina wall of wild despair:
"1f1 cannot find my darling,
May I meet him over there..'
Then a faint, weak voice answered
In accents meek and mild:
Mother. dearest mother,
Are you looking for your childs"
She turned with fond affection,
But the b'ue around her lay:
mo, it's not for you I'm looking.
For my boy is dressed in gray"
The failing voice answered:
"Am I nothing nor to you
Because our 'pinions differ,
And I represent the blue?
Oh, mother, please forgive mt,
Fort me you're just as dear,
Though if you are hunting brother,
You will find him over here"
The pale moon in her sympathy
Passed behind q cloud:
The CORY scene OF battle
The darkness did enshroud.
The streamlets cease their murmur,
While the balmy breezes say:
"They are Resting on her bosom
The blue beside the gray"
