Nor does Mr.. Holland, the manager, get
his reward because he fills house with
persons who pay high prices of admis-
sion. They do not pay such prices at
all. Seventy-five cents is the highest
price. and the seats are graded from
this TO fifteen cents. II is seldom, how
ever, that less than fifteen hundred
persons find places; and in great num-
bers he finds his ample business re-
ward. But there is another reward. too,

the American people had good taste. an

POOR CUBA.

Horrible Condition OF the Island Hardly
Known to the w Orld.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-A private
letter received here from one of the
most prominent business men at Ha-
vana, says:
Poor Cuba. The truth in regard to
the horrible condition of affairs here is
not yet realized by the outside world.
With the close OF the sugar season next
month there will be misery and famine.
The sugar crop has been far below the
average this year, and all Of it will now
be subjected to tho new United States
tariff on sugar. 1t means much loss to
the planter and with the beginning Of
the ''dead season." lasting from the
close of the sugar season until next
September, there will be no employment
for labor. 1t means idle hands-white
and negro. Such conditions cannot
but add to the smouldering fire of the
rebellion.

MINNESOTA CROPS.

Seeding ls Pretty Well Fjnished-Great
Need for Rain.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 25 The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending April
%, gives the following general summary
for Minnesota:
With the exception of occasional light
showers in the Red River valley, which
extended east to Otter Tail, Becker,
Hubbard and Wadena counties, no rain
has fallen during the week. These
showers fell over the dryest sections
and the need of more moisture is now
about the same everywhere throughout
the state. High winds have been less
damaging than during the previous
week. The temper asures averaged
higher than last week, keeping up the
normal conditions of a season from one
to two weeks early. The nights were
occasionally frosty with the gain in
heat most noticeable during the sun.
shiny day time. Good, warm rains
would greatly accelerate stooling and
growth, but as yet the need of them is
not very urgent. Vegetation has ad-
vanced considerably, although the
growth as q rule has been slow, which
cannot but be considered advantageous,
owing to the earliness of the season.
The early seeded fields are coming up
nicely with heavy stand and IA healthy
growth. Planting of pototoes and early
vegetables is now general, and seeding,
except late fax. nearly finished

HAWAIIAN RECIPROCITY.

shipping Regulations Established Between
This Country and the Young Republic.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Reciprocity
between the United States and Hawaii
in shipping regulations has recently
been brought about by the action of the
treasury department in giving to the
Hawaiian merchant vessels the same
advantages enjoyed by American ships.
The Hawaiian government has already
placed the United States ships on
the same terms as its own. Mr..
Hastings, the Hawaiian charge here,
says the new arrangement is proving
very satisfactory to shipmasters in both
countries. He has prepared full sum-
mary of our shipping laws for trans
mission to his government, as the treas
ury decision practically makes them
operative in Hawaii.

she has grown rapidly worse and is

cause of the convulsions, could
be successfully removed. and while
it might not result in her ultimate re.
covery, life could be prolonged for some

TO LAND MARINES
Programme of Great Britain
at Corinto Is Definitely
Outlined.
SEIZE THE CUSTOM HOUSE
And Collect All Duties, Beside
Enforcing a Blockade Of
the Port.

WASHINGTON. April 25.-Exact off,
cial information has been received as to
Great Britain's 'belligerent steps in
Nicaragua. British troops are to be
landed at Corinto. The customs
houses are to be occupied by the British
forces and British officers are to exer-
else the functions Of collectors of Gus
toms. At the same time Nicaraguan
local commerce ia to be crippled by =
blockade.
The limit of time allowed Nicaragua
to yield expires Thursday night, and
the blockade, landing of troops and
seizure of custom houses is to begin i'm
mediately thereafter. There is good
reason to believe that Nicaragua is not
likely to yield, but will allow British
troops to occupy Corinto. in order that
conspicuous attention may be drawn to
what is regarded by Nicaragua as an
invasion of the Monroe doctrine.
DR.. Guzman, the Nlcaraguan minis
ter, is inaccessible. He has been very
active since early morning, brief time
remaining before Great Britain's final
blow places heavy responsibility on
him. Nicaragua's hopes now are al
most entirely centered on Washington.
It il not believed, however, that Dr.
Guzman has succeeded in enlisting the
Intervention of the United States.
viii Protect Foreixners.
As to the landing of British marines
at Corinto which is now understood to
be part Of the programme, it is stated
by officials that this will not menace OF
endanger the interests of the United
States or other foreigners. The case OF
the British mbardment of Alexandria
is cited to show the British policy TO-
wards foreigners at threat.
ened point. In that case Great
Britain wished to strike Egypt,
but to do SO she was compelled
to injure some foreign interests al
Alexandria. Notice was therefore
given that foreign interests would be
protected with every precaution posi-
BILE, and if they were injured as an in
cident to the attack, compensation
would be made. Subsequently the few
foreign interests which suffered were
voluntarily remunerated by Grea
Britain. 1t is said the same policy will
be used at Corinto. Great care will b.
taken to protect foreign interests and
should the latter suffer indirectly they
will be compensated for loss.

Spain VIII Accede,

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary
Gresham has received dispatch from
Mr.. Hannis Taylor, United States
minister at Madrid, assuring him that
Spain would accede to the demands Of
the United States in the Alliance affair
and that Captain Venadito would be
put on trial for his offense of firing at
an American vessel outside the zone.
The tone Of the dispatch is such that
the department feels that its course will
be absolutely vindicated by the result.
