No Aggressive Action TO Carry Out the
Caucus Programme.
Washington, D. c., December 10
Leading Democratic members of the
House OF Representatives say no ag-
gressive action is contemplated to car
ry out the declaration of the recent
Democratic House caucus on Cuba,
finance and bankruptcy. The caucus
action will be allowed to stand as
showing the policy Of the minority.
They are more hopslul Of giving ex-

finance. The majority will doubtless
bring forward financial measures on
the lines suggested by the President
and Secretary Gage and the Democratic
caucus policy will be given effect by the
casting Of the solid Democratic vote,
numbering 125, against these meas

next week, j. E. Toole in Killarney and
the Rhine"
OPERA HoUsE-Christnla matinee
and evening, Shore Acres
Killarney on the Rhine will be
the attraction at the Grand Opera
House the first half of next week, with
J. E. Toole in the stellar role. The
scenes are all laid in Ireland. The
play has an interesting plot and story,
showing villain industriously at work
undermining the fgood name and
standing Of rival in order to possess
his sweetheart, and friends of the girl,
including the German from the Rhine,
just as industriously employed In over
throwing the villianous schemes. This
double purpose naturally brings about
several strong situations and climaxes
that hold and sustain the interest Of
the spectators continually. Irish wit
and German comedy are interlafled,
and both are introduced in such way
that the contrast makes both stand
out prominently. Comedian Toole IS a
good actor, gaining his experience in
theatrical organizations of recognized
merit His skill is frequently shown
in the character of Conrad, which he
impersonates breezily. The part also
allows of the introduction of several
songs, which he sings in an effective
manner.
Reilly & Woods Big Show, which
opened a half weeks engagement at
the Grand to a crowded house last
night, is one of the strongest speciality
companies ever appearing here. The
olio consists of bright and original acts,
many Of them of sufficient merit to be
features in any vaudeville entertain
ment Of such character are the
baton juggling by Dick Gardner, the
wonderful barrel act of the Brothers
Deonzo, the Celtic wit of Pat Reilly,
and the original parodies of Frank D.
Bryan. The concluding feature, walks
of all Nations" is a decided novelty,
an improvement on the cake walk idea,
with a decidedly sensational finish.
The company will remain until the
close Of the week, giving the usual
Saturday matinee.

SPANS Foes.
Washington, Dec. y. "A reply TO the
Spanish complaint of lack of vigilance
on the part OF the United States in
enforcing the neutrality laws was cub.
mittea to day 20 the Department of
State hy Secretary Gage. The reply
properly comes in part from the
Treasury Department, as the revenue
cutterH and tho customs officials have
had the principal part of the work OF
enforcing the laws.
Perhaps the strongest statement in
the report is this: II the Spanish
patrol of 1900 miles of Cuban coast
had frustrated one half the number of
expeditions which were frustrated hy
the United States authorities along a
coast line OF 5.470 miles not one man
nor one cartridge would have been
illicitly lanfed 10 Cuba from tic
United States. Out OF 60 alleged ex
peditiuns only four, have boon broken
up by Spain.
illustrating this statement, Secretary
Gage refers particularly to the ey
petition that left OH the Lgurafla fran
Baltimore and landed at Banes March
2lst. BHnes is an Important seaport on
tine northern coast of Cuba with which
the United States carried on valuable
fruit trade until the Spanish order
prohibiting the export of bananas was
issued. Yet il appears that the Laurada
remained in this seaport two days,
landing men and arms, and was moi
lnulested by the Spanish authorities,
who had been informed OF her landing
and even infinitely where torpedoes had
been placed.
Unless Spain is prepared to avow her
inability or indispusition to defend her
interests in Cuba, Secretary Gage holds
tbs responsibility for the success of
this cxpedi ion may properly DO fixed
upon Spanish officials in Cuha, who
had been formally informed by the
Spanish Legation.
10 all 60 alleged expeditions are
examined, OF these Secretary Gaus
shows that 2S have been frustrated
through the efforts of the Treasury
Department, five by the United States
Navy. four by Spain, two have been
wrecked, one driven back by storm,
one failed from combination of
causes. one. the Delaware, was a vic
