The Havana Press Says That Idea is
Gaining Ground in This Country.
Key Nest, Fla, Jan. 16.-The follow
ing adviccs have just been received from
Havana:
Ia Lucia in I'M editorial says that if
Spain accepts the intervention of the
United States even though this shall be
indirect and friendly, the Cuban reforms
must necessarily be in danger because of
the fomentine of the annexation idea
among European Spnniards, who for
some time have felt in sympathy with
such movement
Proceeding, the editorial says the pa
pcrs attracting European Spaniards
toward the Yankees, possibly,is due to
instinct of self-preservation and con-
tinued commercial relations and business
intercourse between the Spaninrds re-
siding in Cuba and their CORRESPONDENTS
in America.
They feel alarmed lest in the future
their business WAS not dependent upon
Madrid and would not conclude the
existing conditions of affairs by giving
form to the anneNationist ideas already in
existence, although rather dormant.
They would he glad to arouse amcng all
higher classes of the Spanish clement the
sleeping idea of annexation, and this
would be so productive and transccndent
that in Il few years it would evoke an in
evitaEle explosion of annexation ideas,
which no power on earth coul, face when
fully aroused.

OPPOSITION TO SHERMAN.
Younger Element on the Republican Side
of the House Not Pleased

Younger Element on the Republican Side
OF the House Not Pleased.
Washington, Jan 16.-Now that Scnu.
tor Sherman has announced he will ac-
cept the portfolio OF State in the McKin.
ley Cabinet, it is understood that there is
much opposition to him among the
younger element on the Republican side
of the Senate, and among the current Cos
sip to-day is rumor circulated most
freely that the main object of the visit of
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, to Can
ton was to protest to Major Mckinley
against the appointment of Mr.. Sherman.
1t cannot be disputed that Mr.. Sherman
has acted in far from an ingenious man
ner on this subject which has provoked
many of his friends. They believe all the
time he was denying he had any thought
of going into the Cabinet, he had great
many thoughts about it.
Among the objections against Mr.. Sher-
man presented to Major Mckinley are his
age and his alleged weakened mental now
ers Mr.. Sherman is, however. nothing
but II boy compared to Gladstone ana
Bismarck, who are old fellows, both mem
tally and physically, and those who come
into the closest contact with him do not
realize that lie shows any signs of failing.
Looking at the present situation in Ohio
politics it would seem the hest policy for
Mr.. Sherman, if he cares Co remain in
public life, to go into the Cabinet, for no
one believes that he can be reelected to
the Senate
Some are now recalling II remark made
by Mr.. Sherman several years back that
no man was fit or should wish to remain
in public life after reaching the age OF
seventy years; but Mr.. 4 Sherman. like
many others under similar circumstances,
is very apt to change his mind. AS To
other prospective members of the Cabine;
it was confidently said tonight that il

GOOD PLAY, SLIM CROWD.

About rs slim an audience as one could
conceive greeted Glands Across the Sea-
last night The play itself is melo-
drama in five acts. Without having any
thing os special note to make it go
nevertheless, it is one of those catchy
plots sure to take with the general mass,
and Ger tainly so far as action is CON
ccrned the most eXactiny could find moth.
ing in it at which to complain. In three
hours the audience is transported from II
country farm in England TO the gayeties
of Paris, is given II voyage across the sea
and glimpses of life i'll Australia. That
the company could summon courage to
act ut all in the presence of SO small an
audience argues well. and some really
clever bits of work were done, though on
the whole the parts were not we'll bal
anced. Carlton Wells as Jack Dudley
both in the Partisan scene and the scene
with the French detectives aboard the
English steamers showed marked ability
whilst Joseph Domery as Bob Stillwood
the villain of the play proved how well
he took the part by the marked disap-
proval of the galleries at his every an
pearance. Miss Eva Carlyle, the wife of
Dudley was good throughout, but reached
her climax i'll the scene where she pleads
for her husbands life at the hands of the
French minister. y pretty woman IS at
tractiNe anywhere, but never more so
tlan in the role Miss Carlyle played last
night. y little more humor mixed with
the play would make the bearings of stage
action run more smoothly, and this lubri
cant of the meiolrama WIS conspicuous
for its absence. a foreign accent is IL
dangerous thing for any member of n
company to handle ut any time, and this
was well pro reu last night, rs out of
some half dozen who attempted the bro.

Madame Valerie, succeeded in the at
tempt, and that was most splcndidly
done We are sure that under more ia

it is safe to say that despite it all the au-
