A PERTINENT INQUIRY.
Why Are First-Class Plays Not Bette
Patronlzed by Wheeling People?

Why Are First-Class Plays Not Better
Patronlzed by Wheeling People?
To the Editor OF the Tnteiiigencer.
Sir: The miserable houses that assem-
bled at the Opera house in the last two
days to see Creston Clarke's excellent
company IN THE Last of His Race"
and The Lady OF Lyons" causes the OBJ
server some reflections on the Inconslst-
enoy of mortals. The cry has been. 1--WE
don't patronize the theaters because they
don't give US good plays as they did
years ago. Give US something worth
going to see and well fill the house"
Well, how does this theory bear out In
practice? 1t was well illustrated yes
teraay that these worthy persons don't
mean what they say. The company
headed by Mr. Clarke was thoroughly
competent and the plays presented, es-
peclally "The Last of HIS Race" were
good in every sense. The first nights
small attendance OF course could be at
tHbuted to ignorance OF the merits of
the play and company, but the theater-
going public were told of both by the
newspapers, and doubtless also by those
who were present the first night. Yet
the crowds who would flock and hear n
cheap tinsol and ginger bread comic
opera or minstrel show turn the cold
shoulder to a iirst-class organization,
What Is the reason for this? Is It be-
cause OF the lack OF modern conventences
and stage room at the Opera house? Or
Is Il because the theater goers don't en-
Joy a good play as well as they do q pack
OF glitterinC nonsense? Whatever the
cause may be, Il Is certainly discourage
ing to Manager Rester's endeavoring to
give better class OF plays at his thea
ter GILBERT.

CAPTAIN-GENERAL WEYLER.
CamelNear Being Captured by a Band
of Insurgents.

NEW YORK, Jan. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, via Key
West, says:
General Weyler has received his bap-
tism of fire in the field. He may be as
founded by the brilliancy of flash of
insurgent stee! before his very eyes.
AT all events, ten of his special and
corto guides, a corps of Cuban negroes
who enjoy the distinction of guarding
the person of the Captain General when
he takes the field, arrived here Tuesday
night seriously wounded with machete
thruSts. Several have since died Eight
members of the corps, all wounded,
reached Havana on Wednesday morn
ing. From their accounts it is clear
that early on Tuesday morning the
rebels under Aranguren and Arrange
made a startling, bold and dashing at
tempt to capture the Captain General,
which was nearly crowned with success.
General Weyler entered the village
of Quartro Camiros on Monday after
noon. Orders were at once given that
all the Inhabitants should leave their
homes within two hours. The village
being deserted, the torch was applied,
and all the houses, about 300 in num-
Der, were destroyed. The Captain then
proceeded toward Gopaste. sixteen Kill
ometers further on the road to Guines.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1897-01-23

Gopaste was reached after nightfall,
to reconnoiter. General Weyler, with
the main Spanish column under Colonel
Call, followed some distance outside
the village. The insurgents, at the or
ders of their leaders, Aranguen and
Arrange, had concealed themselves in
the houses in the town. Their plans
were evidently we'll laid and it is quite
probable that they might have sue
ceeded in capturing the desired pris-
oner, the Spanish commander himself.
Unfortunately for the fulfillment Of
the design of the insurgent leaders,
while the Spanish scouts We're engaged
in reconnaissance the guns of some of
the concealed rebels We're accidentally
discharged, giving the alarm to the
royal troops. Before the Spanish aG-
vance guard recovered from ITS sur
prise the rebels, seeing that their plan
had partially failed, rushed from their
places of concealment and attacked the
enemy with great fury, infiicting Sc
we're loss in their resistless onslaught.
Alfred Rodriguez Garcia and two
other prisoners were shot this morning
at Santa Clara for the crime of rebel
lion The Mayor of Havana has re-
signed. The "Diario de la Marina"
suggests the appointment of a military
officer to fill the vacancy.
MADRID, Jan. pa dispatch from
Havana states that Captain General
Weyler has ordered the destruction
within three days of all the plantations
and buildings in the province of Ha
vana that would be likely to prove use
full to the rebels.

D. O. MILLS.
Soon to Come to California to Spend
Month or Two.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. I'D. O.
Mills is arranging to come West from
New York for a stay of month or
more in California. On his way here ne
will stop in Arizona to visit his daugh-
ter and son-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
WhiteIaw Reid, who are winterinG
there on account of Mr.. Reds health.
Some of Mr. Mills friends here have
for a few days past been quietly talk
ing of the likelihood of his purchasing
an interest in the Corral Hollow coat
mines and the railroad leading to them
from Stockton. They say it is their
understanding that on the report of an
engineer he sent here from the East
several months ago to examine the
mines he has made an offer to the own
ers of the property to take control
ing interest. President Henry Will
Jams of the company which owns the
mines denied to-day that there was
any truth in the report that Mr.. Mills
had made an offer to buy an interest in
the mines. He wanted it understood
that the owners of the mines were not
seeking to sell them.

A DAY CT BREEZY DEBATE
IN The j. s. SENATE.
CONTINUED from First Page.)

'"The Minister is accredited to the
United States" said Sherman.
In one sense, yes" said Morgan. III 2
has been presented at the door of the
Government, has been bowed in and
permitted to take a seat among the
Diplomats. but we know nothing be-
yOnd newspaper reports of the existence
of the Government he is said to repre-
sent" He characterized the commIni-
cation as 1.-The impertinent intrusion OF
Minister" the effect of which might
be to defeat the passage of the pending
bill.
AS the discussion proceeded Morgan
referred to the Clayton-BulWer treaty,
and particularly called the attention Of
the Senator from Ohio (Sherman), soon
to be Secretary of State, that report
drawn up by the former Senator from
Vermont Edmunds), and approved by
the Senator from Ohio (Sherman) had
declared that this treaty was in no
way obligatory upon the United States.
Sherman interposed to remark that
he hesitated to answer the remarks OF
his honorable friend because they
seemed based upon matters which
Hoar Rep.) of Massachusetts, also
expressed his opinion that the discus
sion was entrenching upon legislative
business, to which Morgan replied that
if this was SO he was SHINING most
grievously, for his recollection was that
the seal of secrecy had been removed
and everything relating to this Clayton
Bulwer report had been printed for the
information of the Senate and the
House.
Hale (Rep.) of Maine explained that
until this afternoon neither he nor any
of his associates had known anything
about this complaint of the Govern
ment of Nicaragua.
Neither did l." said Morgan, with
marked emphasis. He repeated his as
sertion that if this bill We're recon-
united and the arbitration treaty were
ratified the United States would be
shut out, and he intimated that the de-
lay asked by this Rodriguez protest
was instigated by Great Britain, a
country which never failed to push its
way, but had one glorious characteris-
tic in that it never failed to protect its
subjects, whereas graves of Cuba were
filled with those who had died simply
because they were Americans, and the
Governmet failed to protect them.
Morgan concluded by saying that he
wanted to hear the Senator who would
move to recommit this bill,
Replying by indirection to this chal-
lenge, Hale Rep. of Maine suggested
that the Senate should adjourn until
Monday, SO as to give an opportunity
for obtaining further informa ton before
the motion to recommit was made.
Morgan retorted that he hoped in such
case the Senator from Maine Hale)
would make the application to Secre-
tary Olney, for he (Morgan) had found
by experience that he could get moth
ing from the State Department.

DIXON-MURPHY FIGHT.
The Australian Knocked Out i'm the
Sixth Round

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-George Dixon
knocked out australian" Billy Muir
ply tonight in the sixth round of their
twenty round battle at the Broadway
Athletic Club. The deciding blow was Il
left hook which landed full on the pit
of the stomach with terrific force. Dixon
showed an immense Improvement over
his recent form as shown against
White. His attack was strong, and he
rushed like the Dixon of old. He had
all the best of the bout up to the knCck-
out, and did nearly all the fighting.
Murphy countered we'll with his right
hand, but was very often wild, and his
blows lacked strength. The time of
the round was two minutes and forty
three seconds.
The opening bout was ten-round af-
fair between Frank O'Neill, the colored
Chicago boxer, and Paddy Fenton of
Boston. They weighed in at 13S pounds.
Fenton knocked out his man with a left
hand uppercut on the jaw in the Soy
enth round. Time-One minue and fifty
seconds.
There was very little delay in start
ing the star bout. Dixon, as usual,
w
champion looked in splendid condition.
He was seconded by Tom O'Rourke, Joe
Elms, Jimmy Barry and Jim De Forest.
Murphy was looked after by Dan Cree
don, Mike Conley and Benny Murphy
The betting was 500 to $50 on Dixon
Murphy had three inches advantage in
hight and a slightly longer reach than
Dixon, and appeared to be we'll trained.
Both weighed in at 120 pounds at
o'clock this afternoon.
The lads shook hands at $50 o'clock.
After little sparrng, Dixon opened
with a right hand on the body. They
exchanged lefts, and George put
good right on the body. AS George
rushed Murphy put a hard left on the
wind.
Dixon opened the second with two
lefts on the body and on the neck. Just
as the bell rang Dixon rushed in with
a light one on the jaw. Murphy came
in with both hands on the body. A not
rally followed, both being in turn forced
to the ropes, where Murphy swung right
and left in succession hard on the jaw,
but George only smiled
Dixon showed some of his old time

left upper-cuts forced the Australian to
the ropes.
George started a series of hurricane
rushes in the fifth, and Murphy was in
difficulty for the greater part of the
round, but just before the bell rang
Billy landed a couple of scorchIng rights
on the wind.
Dixon kept up rushing in the sixth,
and landed both hands on the neck and
body, Murphy countering with the right
on the body. Then George came with a
fearful left hook that landed in thu pit
of Murphy's stomach. The Australian
dropped on his hands and knees and
wrfthed with pain. The referee counted
the seconds, but Murphy was unable to
rise, and was counted out. Murphy had
to be helped to his corner, but revived
