BLACKS in tho Cuban War.

The negro appears to be PLAYING an
important part in the Cuban insurrec-
tion Indeed, Cuban correspondents
only short while ago said the contest
appeared moro like q race war than
anything else, so few were the whites
In the ranks OF the insurgents forces.
Since that time, however, according to
the reports, many whites, including
number OF wealthy planters and their
sons, have joined the insurgents. The
fact remains, nevertheless, that very
largo proportion of the insurgents
strength is made up of negroes, and
that many OF the commanders are
negroes or mulattoes. II In asserted
that she Msceo brothers, one of whom
Is the commander-ih-ehief OF the revo-
lutionsry movement, are mulattoes.
1t Is admitted that she blacks and
mulastoes were the first In the field.
At first IL WAS difficult TO get white re-
oruits 10 the cause, because the uprising
was composed 80 largely of blsoks.
Several prominent Cuban ausonomists
who went from Guantanamo to join the
insurgents returned disguised and dis
hearteDed when they Jaw the com plex-
ion OF the rank and file OF sho insur.
gent bands. The fact Is not TO be lost
sight OF that tho movemons has the sup
port OF white Oubans in Cuba and in
this and other countries. and that white
recruits are going to the insurgents
every day.
The question to be considered, how
ever, Ia this: In the event of the sue
cess OF the Cubacs, what part in the
new government formed would the
blacks take? Would they demand that
Maceo be made she first president, and
that they be given positions of honor
and emoluments in accordance with the
Importance Of their services In begin
ming the war, supplying leaders and
meL and sticking to thu cause? The
correspondents Of New York paper ex-
presses the opinion that in the event of
the Cuban success the Cuban republic
would become second Haitian republic,
and that race wars and much bloodshed
would follow. The proportion of whites
to blacks in the population of Cuba Ia
two to one. or maybe larger than that
The whites would, therefore, have it in
their power to prevent any such thing
as black domination. They could, and
probably would, organize n government.

representation in 1t TO the blacks

Tratia With Janan

The New York Herald says: "There
is evidently friendly disposition among
the Japanese to welcome American
trade into their markets, and We shall
be very unwise Il we fail to make the
moss OF the opportunity. 1t is true that
our tariff, still worry high, gives our Eu-
ropean rivals q great advantage over US
in Japan. But, Notwithstanding this,
our manufacturers ought to be eble to
compete In larger degree than they
have eyer done with European goods
In the neutral markets of the East. Al
ready some OF our iron manufacturers, as
wrought and castiron pipes, are sold in
Canada in competition with British
manufactures. The Iron Age last week
suggested that Alabama iron foundries
may be able to get an order for 90, 600
tons OF cast-iron pipe soon to be let in
japan. AS Japan annually imports
considerable quantity OF wool and
wooden goods and cotton piece goods
and yarn, there Is no reason why our
mills should not be able to supply con.
siderable part OF her demand for such
tabrics."

!'Ihe Fatal Card"

"The Fatal Card" the melodrama OF
which we have heard such high praise from
New York, Boston and places near home
where it has been presented, was given al
the Opera house, last evening, before q
large audience, which voted to person
that it's praises had not been too loudly
sounded.
The play itself is first class. 1t is well
written, and abounds in startling sensa-
tional features, without that overdrawn,
strained condition of affairs styled rot
The dramatic strength of the piece Is in
tensified by the dramatic strength of the
company producing it, each and every
member of which handles his or her part to
perfection.
The story of the play has already been
told by the Journal, but the work of the
company is deserving of much more ex-
tended notice than space allows.
Edwin Holt as George Forester, was
excellent. His is very difficult part, but
he carries it through to perfection. The
scene in his Office, where for a long time
not q word Is uttered, the murder scene,
and the final cottage scene, were strong
and forceful, and credit to the actor.
George Alison as Gerald Austen did
really fine work. He was easy and natural,
and brought out the telling situations
with skill. His interview with his father
at the office was admirably done. Henry
Herman as Jim Dixon, the rascal, was a
typical scamp and half the audience
wanted him killed off at short order.
Bruce McRae as Harry Burgess, did
pleasing work, and his laughable scene
with his lady love, while bathing at the
river, was very cleverly DONE Giles Shine
as A. X. Austen, the broker did especially
good work. Each of the other male
characters was acceptably taken.
Amy Busby as Margaret Marrable, was
perfectly charming. Her great personal
beauty, her winning ways and her perfect
mastery OF bne chdracuer, ooihPleoeiy
captivated the audience. She was given
two curtain calls after the second scene of
the fourth act and deserved more.
Adrienne Dairollcs as Mercedes, and
May Wood as Cecile Austen each Lad
some difficulty acting and did it with ease.
Anita Rothe's Miss Penelope Austen was
to the Queen taste.
The piece was very finely staged. The
Ivncbing scene, the Thames valley and
the cottage were all good, and the c1plo-
sion in the last act, when the side OF the
cottage was blown in, was very effective.
"A Fatal Card well deserves its great
success.
