Havana, Nov. 12-Capt. Gen BIan-
co has issued a circular announcing
that he has decided to furnish all the
protection necessary to bring about
resumption of general planting, har-
vesting and reconstruction throughout
the country, especially in the case of
the sugar crop.
He further DEGREES that all the au-

The civil authorities are instructed
to encourage to the utmost those who
wish to grind sugar cane and to offer
them assurances and the necessary
military force to protect themselves
and their property. The regions where
agriculture is more extended, will be
specially provided for. The authorities
are authorized to assist those who are
behind in their taxes and to do their
utmost to increase the commercial ia
cilities of the planters.
All war measures are abrogated in
regard to agricultural implements ma
chinery, etc, and the right of the rail-
roads to charge 20 per cent on all
freight carried, is also done away with.

STILL ANOTHER FAULT
Of the metropolitan Police System
Tt is Financially Irresponsible.


While the police commissioners are
looking at fancy teams with view to
purchasing one for the patrol wagon the
councilmen and city officers are doing
great deal of talking.
It is one of the advantages of the
metropolitan police system that the po
lice commissioners can make as many
bills as they please and the council,
though it sometimes makes wry faces,
is compelled to pay them. Just now the
city treasury is not in a condition to war
rant any expenditure that can be avoid
ed.
Councilman Burgess stood at the corner
of Fifth and Jackson streets yesterday
afternoon while the police board was
looking at horses. This makes me de-
cidedIy weary said the colonel There
is not particle of sense in buying a new
team now. If the present team is taken
care of as it should be it would last two
years yet. For the little work that there
is for the patrol team there is no earthly
reason why they should be discarded. The
police board shows a reckless disregard
of the city finances. Bill after bill is pre-
scented to the council and we have to al
low them but it is an outrage. They
do not seem TO know that there is limit
to the funds in the city treasury
Ex-Patrol Driver Bundy confirmed what
Colonel Burgess said about the team. I
am satisfied" said he, that with the
right kind of care the horses would be all
right for some time. 1 know all about
them. for I drove them for two years,
and if do say it myself they were never
in the shape they are in now. turned
the team over in good condition, and look
at them now. It is a shame the way the
horses have been used.

''My Friend From India,'' a
Similar Production
And Quite as Full of Funny
Situations.
Probability of a Crowded House at
the Grand on Monday Night
Other Attractions at
the Theaters

The doctrine of theosophy is made the
foundation on which is built the clever
comedy My Friend From India" which
will be seen at the Grand Opera House in
this city next Monday night. Among the
many orders of theosophy is that of the
yellow robe" which is conferred on only
the most learned students of that doc
trine, and out of this order Du Souchet,
the author of My Friend From India"
has extracted the fun for the comedy. An
ignorant barber invested against his will
with the yellow robe and utilized as a
social lion by an ambitious pork packers
family forms the groundwork of no end
of humorous situations, in which pretty
love stories form attractive side issues.
The Smyth & Rice company which will
present the play here includes Frederic
Bond, John F. Ward, John b. Maher, Jo-
seph Hall, Joseph Adelman, Helen Reiner,
Nita Allen, Glare Hathaway and May
Vokes. Bond takes the part of the Kan
sas City pork packer and Ward the part
of the theOsOphicaI barber. The former
has appeared in comedy roles in a, num-
Der of Frohman's productions, and the
latter has been before the public in COM
edy work for several years.
The sale of seats opened today, and the
piece will be witnessed by a large audi
