FLORENCE, Italy, Dec. 15.-Alexander
Salvini. the son Of Tomaso Salyini, the great
Italian actor, died today of intestinal tuber-
culosis.
Alexander Salvini was born in Rome De-
cember Il, 1861. He was the son of the Ital-
Ian tragedian, Tomaso Salvini, and went to
school in Naples, Florence and Genoa. 1t
was intended that he should become civil
engineer and in 1881 he went to the United
States for that purpose with Charles Chiz-
Eola, who was manager of Rossi's American
tour. Instead of looking for a place to de-
yelop his engineering abilities, however, young
Salvini travelled with the Rossi company and
afterwards settled in New York to study En-
giish, in order to be able to use that Ian
guage on the stage. His first appearance
was at the Union Square theatre in New
YORK IN Clara Morris company, and he after
wards spent two seasons with Margaret Math-

DULUTH HARBoR WORK
No Longer Held Up by the Secretary
0s War.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 15.-Secretary
Lamont has sent to Maj. Sears, of this
city, engineer In charge of the harbors
Of Lake Superior, the advertisements
for bids for the $S,080, 500 continuous
appropriation contracts for improve
ments to be made in the Duluth-Su-
perior harbor. The specifications for
the proposed work in the harbor were
sent by Maj. Sears to the war depart
ment last summer, and their detention
for SO long a period of time had caus-
ed apprehension that the secretary OF
war would fail to approve the specif-
cations and that the proposed improve
ments would be Indefinitely delayed.
The receipt of the advertisements for
bids indicates that the specifications
have been approved by the war de-
partment 1t is expected that the
specifications will be returned in a
few days. That they did not come
with the advertisements is attributed
to the fact that they must go via New
York to be recorded with the district

NEW YORK, Dec. 15-The offices Of

Dy applicants for enlistment in the
CUBAN army. Even before any of the
ofnclals connected with the legation

men stood at the entrance to the head
quarters waiting for the doors to open,
and before 9 o'clock the Cuban cause
could have had sixty able-bodied re-
cru1ts. All were dismissed with the
information that no men were wanted.
The Cuban officials said today that
they had been quite overwhelmed with
applications, and that during the last
tWenty-fours shours nearly 800 men had
applied for enlistment, all Of whom had
Deen refused. owing to the law pro-
hibiting the enlistment here for sery-
ice In foreign armies. Many more ap-
plications had also been received by
mail from nearby cities.
Washington, Dec. 15.-The attention
OF ofnclals here has been attracted by
the stories coming from all portions Of
the country indicating that enlistments

to Cuba to join the insurgents in their
struggle against the Spaniards. These
enllstments are In direct violation OF
the neutrality laws and are prohibited

country with which the United States
is now at peace, the penalty prescribed
by Section 5,281. Revised Statutes. is

has been repeatedly urged by success
sive postmaster generals 1t is esti-
mated that the abuses Of the law had
cost the government $240, O0O,0 900 in the

Mr.. Loud, Cal, the author of the
measure, brought it forward today
quite unexpectedly to majority OF
the members of the house. The oppo-
sition, led by Mr.. Quigg IN. Y), in
auguTated filibuster and attempted
to prevent its consideration by ad-
JCurnlng, but the house stood by Mr..
Loud in two votes, defeating the op-
position-134-102 and 141-83. The oppo-
sltion, however, is hopeful Of defeating
the measure when it is put on it's final
passage. Mr.. Loud made an opening
speech on the measure during which
he declared that the bill would save
the government $20,000,000 annually. He
also said that it had received the in
dorsement of the newspaper publishers
association and was only opposed by
those who participated in the bounty
obtained under the present law The
exact status of the bill is questionable.
Tomorrow the appropriation bills will
be brought forward to delay it.
