WARNED TO STAY AT HOME.
sherman's Answer to "A Theatriccl Man
Who Wanted TO Visit Cuba.

Washington, Jan. 23.-J. w. Ran
dolph, manager for the Cyrena Vaude-
vile company has been warned by Sen
ator John Sherman, chairman Of the
senate foreign relations committee, not
to visit Havana with his company lest
disagreeable consequences ensue. Mr..
Randolph wrote 10 Senator Sherman
from Tampa, Fla, where a performance
of the Cyrena company was disturbed
by rival factions of Spaniards and Gu
bans. stating that he had good offers to
play in Havana, but feared TO go there
unless made sure of protection by the
United States.
Spaniards objected TO the performance
because in one act Cyrena places a Gu
ban flag on the stage and shouts Viva
Cuba Libre!" Moreover, because Cy-
rena is Cuban born. Senator Sherman's S
reply was as follows:
u. w. Randolph.-Dear Sir: Your let
ter of the 9th inst. received. / think the
only safe way is for your wife to re-
main away from Cuba and any place In
Florida where the sympathies or the
people are against her because OF her
birth. The government can not protect
her from injustice and prejudice. Very
respectfully, JOHN SHERMAN.

senator added some observations on the
public pressure on the senate. great
many men and organizations were tel

that the treaty is not an accomplished

MR.. 0LNEY UNDER FIRE
Turpie Denounces the Secretary's
Cuban Statement.
SAYS SENATE Is INDEPENDENT.

Shetman Denies "a Newspaper statement
That lie Had Consulted oiney on the
Cuban Situation-The Anglo-American
Arbitration Treaty Discussed in Open
Session in Violation of the Rules of the
senate-NationaI Capital News.
Washington, Jan. PA number of
letters, some favorable and others un-
favorable TO the Anglo-American peace
treaty, were presented in the senate
Friday by Cullom. After this Senator
Turpie surprised the senate with very
caustic statement as TO the Cuban stu
alton. He said he would next Monday
call up the pending Cameron resolution
for the independence of Cuba for the
purpose of making some remarks.
About three weeks ago, he proceeded,
there appeared formal utterance from
the secretary of state in the newspapers
relative to the Cuban resolution. At
Ihat time there was no resolution before
the senate. Under such circumstances
the secretary's utterance was obiter
dictum of the most rude, most swift,
most voluntary character. 1t recalled
the schoolmaster of antiquity, who
made a whole audience tremble with
threat of future displeasure. But the
senate might have passed this. by.
Publication in the Newspapers.
To-day, however" continued Turpie,
"a publication appeared in the newspa-
pers-which had apparently become the
messengers between the state depart
ment and congress, and messengers
whom the senator did not disparage-
| to the effect that a compact had been
| entered into between the secretary of
/ state and the new premier (Sherman)
| by which there was to be no further
action on Cuba during the present ad-
ministration.
ALLOW me to say proceeded Turpie,
"that l regard such course violation
of the comfy existing between legisla-
tive and executive branches of the gov
eminent. 1t has been done only once
before, when Mr.. Canning"
Senator Sherman arose at this mo-
ment while Mr. Turpie's reference to
the Canning incident was unfinished
and said:
IF the senator refers to publication
today, I will say there is not the slight
est warrant for the statement made
! have not had word with Mr.. Olney
on that subject and there has been nc
mention of an agreement or understand
