seems to have been enterprising in securing

OF new operas is announced. In fact, for
the most part, he only promises US the
same cid list of works that have lulled our
ears from childhood up, the works we
pounded out as "fantasias'' when we were
learning the piano, the works hallcwed by

contains a promise that we are to hear
some OF the novelties of the last few years.
This is an age of opera-writing. Europe
is constantly deluged with new works,
some OF them of great merit; but in San
Francisco we have heard nothing OF all the
modern successes but the "CayalIeria Rus
ticana" and II Pagliacci."
Mascagni and Leoncavallo have both
written unanimously since those first pro-
auctions, but so far as we are concerned
they might have been mute. The lola
Bruneau opera, "L'Attaque du Moulin"
has been on the boards for a couple of
years, and the more the critics hear it the
more they say it will live when we are all
dead; but that is no reason why we should
die without hearing it. "Hansel and Gre.
ter' is an extraordinarily successful opera
that we have virtually heard nothing of;
so is La Navarraise."
Noone would be so unreasonable as to ask
Mr.. Pratt to pay heavy royalties on many
new operas, but he might at least favor
US with one unhackneyed wo-k. II dra-
matte company came for long run, with
out announcing single novelty, and with
half its repertory made up of stereotyped
old works, we should probably ciamor for
something more in accordance with
modern standards. We have more reason
to clamor when a good opera company
comes to US without novelties, for, OF all
arts, that of opera-writing is the one that
has made most universal progress during
the last quarter of century.

What Was Said in Sentencing the Latter to
Two Years in the Pen.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-Two years in the
penitentiary and 8, 600 fine is what Judge
Grosscup gave Joseph Dunlop, editor and
proprietor of The Dispatch, for mailing a
paper containing obscene matter. Dunlop
in few words before the sentence asked
the mercy of the court. An appeal TO the
supreme court will be taken on technical
points and twenty days We're given the
defendant to prepare his appeal. In SEN
fencing Dunlop the judge said: The ver-
dict of the jury in your case was in my
Judgment, clearly right. No doubt existed
in my mind that you were the manager of
The Dispatch and that you knew it was
being deposited in the mails.
Lord Chatham once said that mans
house was his castle. The storm might
enter the rain might enter, but the king
of England could never enter. Every
family can create its own standard Of
morality and Geccncy. Its doors can be
shut against offensive servants and visit
o-s but the United States mail service
penetrates to every chamber in the house,
and it is no light obligation to see that it
is kept clean. The verdict in this case
must be something mere than the mere
judicial Judgment; it must carry with it
penalty that will serve as n preventative
OF such violations of the law in the future

New YORK, Feb. l0.-A dispatch to the
World from Havana says: General
Marin, the acting gcaptain-general of Cuba,
has returned to Havana In an interview
with yeur correspondent he said: "My
campaign has been nothing but n contin-
uation of the line which had been laid
down before went out. l had soIIe en-
counters with both Maceo and Gomez, but
car throw no more light upon them or
their whereabouts than what has been al
ready given in the published reports"
What do you think of the insurgents
military organization?"
az have not altered my estimation OF
them" he said. The insurgents can
never be recognized as a military organi-
zation because the first consideration Of
an organized army is its honor
Says the Insurgents Are Anarchists.
The insurgents think it no dishonor to
fly from the enemy and avoid an en-
counter. a regular military body would
consider it dishonorable TO attack n de-
senselcss group of soldiers, but the insur-
gents think nothing of capturing men who
are simply acting as carriers. They do
not hesitate to force defenseless citizens TO
| accompany them, which of course results
| simply i'll their being used as targets for
| the Spanish arms. If the Spanish had had
| more cavalry the insurgents would have
| adopted other means Of Warfare. Their
! policy is to deviate from all the lines of
regular civilized warfare. In other words,
| war with them is mere anarchy.
| Rebel Tactics Is to Fun Away.
"Whencver we have an encounter there
never is any doubt of the Spanish
! defeating the insurgents, even if the odds
| Is four TO one in their favor. The insur.
| gents run away. That is their strength.
| There was an illustration of this day be.
fore yesterday in the encounter we had
with them near San Crstobal, when 6Ct
| of our men We're attacked by 1000 or coz
| insurgents and our men defeated them"
| This reference was to a battle between
| Maceo's forces and Colonel Seguera, in
| which the report Is that eighty insurgents
were killed and 800 wounded, the Spanish

| Insurgents Losing Strength He Says.
"How long is the revolution likely tc

II can hardly say, but believe the in.
surgents will be wiped out, inasmuch as g
vigorous policy has been initiated. Not g
policy of cruelty-I don't mean that-but
rigidly military policy"

or gaining strength"

by little. The great defect of the insHr
gents has been shown by their attack
upon our weak places. That betrays thei

One of Them Seen by Canella with Her
Hair streaming Behind Her.
Colonel Canella has been tho recipient
of some not very pleasant attentions from
the so-called Amazons who are in the field
with the insurgents. Recently he saw one
of these yoman-warriors riding on horse
back with her loosencd hair streamin g
behind her. and she called upon the men
who were following her to fire upon TIE
troops.
The following outraGes are alleged by
the Spaniards against the rebels: At Rio
Scco the insurgents have hanged two dc.
fensclcss men. They have burned the
Central plantation at Esperanza Cardenas
with loss of S400, 900. At San Martinez
they have hanged five farm laborers, and
have killed with a machetc a boy Ii years
old. At Las Cruces they hanged Sebas
tian Torres. who left nine children or
phans. At Javellanos the band of Juan
Vazuez destroyed some tobacco houses.
