PRETTY SIBYL.
She Takes Trip with Cuban
Lover.

Boston, March 24-Sibyl Sanderson,
the pretty American prima donna, who
presented doctors certificates instead
of liquid notes to the music lovers OF
Boston during the recent Abbey-Grau
grand opera season, and whose con-
tract with the management was cam
celed at her own request, has recov-
cred sufficiently to board train for
the west in company with Antonio
Terry, the wealthy Cuban to whom
she is said to be betrothed. There
were also in the party Miss Sander
sons maid and her companion, Mrs.
Storms and Mr.. Terry's valet.
They reached Niagara Falls Wednes-
day morning, secured apartments at
the Prospect house, and set out at an
early hour to view the wonders of the
cataract, which the singer had not seen
since very young girl, when she
went to Europe to study. She and Mr..
Terry appeared to be on the best OF
terms Wednesday evening the party
returned to this city.
1t appears likely that the alleged
breach between Miss Sanderson and
her wealthy Cuban admirer, said to
have been caused by the latter's
marked attentions to Mrs. Langtry,
has been healed. The statement is
made here that the couple had bitter
words over these attentions and many
believed it caused the singer to abro-
gate her contract "a proposition not
unwillingly consented to by the opera
management, by the way, but in the
musical world the story is to the effect
that Miss Sanderson did not care to
have comparisons drawn between her
small voice and the voices of Nordica
and the other prime dome of the COM
pany in the immense opera houses of
the west. notably the Chicago auditor
ium. This appears to be the more
likely story, too.

a determined stand. The attack was
made ut the dawn of March 4. AT 10
o'clock the gates were forced and
breaches made in the walls. The re-
sistance was stubborn and it was
not until midnight that the struggle

Ii Hung Changes appointment as
peace ambassador is now an estab-
lished fact. Even in Japan he is con-
sidered genuine, and the possibility
that they may have practical results
is admitted in the highest official cir
cles. The impression prevails that
Japan has allowed some indication of
her intentions to be conveyed to the
Chinese government and that Ii will
come prepared to accept any terms not
utterly ruiuous or disgmceful.
so far as can be foreSecn the pre-
parations for continuing the war are
not to be interrupted while the con-
ference is in progress. The Chinese
therefore are strengthening their de-
lenses. New guns are daily mounted
at the Taku forts, AMI new lines of de-
Tense constantly added to the environ

favoring the offer of any amount of
indemnity, but strcnuously opposing
the cession of territory.

INCOME TAX COLLECTION.
Ex-Revenue Commissioner Thinks 1t
Cannot Be Accomplished.

New York, March 24.-The Internal
Revenue Record Of New York will In
it's issue Of March %, publish an elab-
crate opinion by Thomas Harland, for
merly deputy commissioner of internal
revenue, which throws doubt upon the
practical collectibility of the tax upon
incomes. The ex-commissioner holds
that no penalties are incurred by the
failure to present a return of income
until formal demand has been made
at the residence or place of business
after April Is, by the collector and
compliance with it., neglected Or re-
fused. He holds also that the taxpay-
err has the right unless he voluntarily
waves it, to insist that the collector
and not deputy collector shall call
and assist him in making out his re-
turn. The taxpayer may disclose to
the collector the particulars Of his in
come and then that officer must HIM
self make up the return If requested
to do so. He concludes that the num-
Der of collectors is too small to per-
form these duties.
He recommends that the collection Of

legislation is procured for it's enforce

GETTING EVEN.
EN-CONSUL JOHN |. WALLER IN
TROUBLE.
France Court Martials Il Man Who OBJ
tanned Valuable Rubber Concessions
From HovaS.

Port Louis, Island Mauritius, March
24.-John l. Waller, the former United
States consul ut Tamatava, Madagas-
car, has been tried by French court
martial and found guilty of having
been in correspondence with the Hovas
and sentenced to twenty years i'm
prisonment. In April, 1894, in spite Of
protests of French residents, Waller
secured concession of the entire
southern part of the island of Mad
agascar from the Hovas government.
1t was claimed that all people in the
India rubber trade suffered injury to
their vested rights through the con-
cession. France has claimed a pro-
tectorate over the islands and Great
Britain organized it, but the natives
of the Hovas government repudiate
the French claim, and France is now
sending to Madagascar a large eXpe-
dition to subdue the Hovas. Some
friction has been caused by the two
last American consuls at Tamatava
presenting their credentials to the
native government. The concessions
secured by Waller are very valuable
covering 225 square miles, producing
vast quantities of rubber and such val
liable woods as ebony, mahogany, rose
wood and teak, aud admirably adapted
to the cultivation of tea, coffee, sugar
and vanilla.
