Worse than all, it nearly made an angel of

low in phosphates. having only one

is found in San Bernardino County.
There are perhaps $1,000 tons of ore in

RIPE FOR REVOLT.
Unsettled Condition of the Guatemal

Unsettled Condition of the Guatemalan
Electors.
Captain A. II. Nave, who has returned
from twelve months residence in Guate-
mala, repeats the assertion made several
months ago and since coDtradicted, that the
Guatemslans are ripe for revolt and that the
country Is on the eve of a revolution.
Many of the people are reported to be in
dire distress and living in abject poverty.
Several thousand Mexicans are lettering
around the foothills waiting for chance To
strike blow against the Government in the
hope that a rebellion would bring the c0un-
try under Mexican influences and render
annexation with Mexico possible.
President Barillas, who has acquired a
personal fortune of S16000,000 In the SER
vice of his country, is credited with desire
to effect American annexation, fearing Chat
his coffee plantations will not be safe from
confiscation should his Presidential successor
cherish any personal animOsity against him.

General Mention.

Mr.. Thomas W. Keene plays the exigeant
role of Othello very we'll. He is not as
masterful as Salvni, aud adheres mere to
the traditions of the English speaking stage
than the Italian actor did; but he is very
satisfactory to the ordinary readers of
Shakespeare In his rendering of the char
acter of the Moor he follows the old school,
and dispenses with the sensational episodes
that of late have been sought to be in
troduced by Continental actors. He
has also thrown off a good deal of
that roar and rant which mars his
action in general way. His speech
before the Senate was marvel of earnest
and good delivery. His interviews with
Desdemona in the earlier scenes were full of
the tenderness of new and unexpected line.
In the Cassie episode on the Isle of Cyprus.
where his Lieutenant, melted by Iago. makes

he was forcible because he was intense.
His last words to Cassie, as he makes his
exit, ''Tll make thee an example. Cassie,

officer Of mine" were delivered in
low, measured tone, that lent additional
strength to their utteraIce. The audience
recognized the effect by a genuine round OF
applause In all the different phases of the
role, the false jealousy that the crafty lago
inspired, the terrible revenge that he
wrought upon the unfortunate Desdemona,
where his barbaric in stincts were Embossed,
they were well conceived and followed
by iudieious phases of acting. Ii Mr..
Keene would only be consistent with
himself. SO to speak, if he would fol-
low as in this his Shakespearian studies
all through the works of the great
master lie essays to present. he would
make grand actor. But he is capricious,
on account of his early experiences, per
haps, and so loses himself. We did not like
Mr.. Frank Henning's Iago; he displayed
the villain too much. Mr.. Walter Mathews,
who played Cassie, made an admirable rem
deTiDg of that somewhat difficult role. His
drunken scene was full of effecr, as was his
subsequent repentance, wherein he deliv-
