PERMISSION REVOKED,

The Marine Band Not to Play at the
Chicago Horne Show.
The Marine Band is not going to Chicago
next week to play at the horse show, after
ALL the permission previously granted by
the Secretary of the Navy to that effect
having been revoked by that official to-
day Officials of the Navy Department de-
cline to say anything in regard to the
change of order. except that it was deemed
the best thing to do under the circum-
stances. 1nasmuch however, as the en-
gagement of the band by the managers
OF the horse show had been vigorously op-
ana as the local assemblies of the labor Or
ganizations Of that city had protested to
the Navy Department against what was
termed unfair competition by govern
ment musicians" it is a fair inference that
the labor question had considerable to do
with the revocation of the permit for the
pand to accept the engagement.
One of the officials of the department
said that this action must not be taken as
a precedent on the labor point at issue,
the fact Icing that there was really not
enough time to fully consider that question
IN the present instance. In order to avoid
all possible complications in the matter.
however, 1t was deemed best to revoke the
permit and keep the band at home Prompt
actlon was necessary, otherwise the band
would soon have started on its journey.
that the question of the leadership of the
band, which arises because of the expira-
ton OF Prof. Fanciullfs term of enlistment
next Saturday, will be settled tomorrow or
Ihursday. The reappointment of Prof.
Fanciul1 Is regarded as highly probable.

Secretary Gage that his resignation would

a hearing from the treasury officials on the
charges of incompetence made against him.
The hearing was begun this morning before
Secretary Gage and Assistant Secretary
Spalding. but did not progress far, as Sec
retary Gage was called to the White
House. The hearing will be continued to-
morrow morning.
Mr.. kinsey WILL it is said, deny RESPONSE
bility for the faulty work which was done
on the new city post office. and will at
tempt to show that others were to blame.
He will, it is said, go into extensive re-
view of the work on the building, and will
cover the history of the work during and
prior to his connection. There is not much
doubt that he will deny being responsible
for the cement floors which had to be re-
laid, and for the sewers which were dis
covered to be not laid according to con-
tract.
Mr.. Kinsey has placed his resignation in
the hands of Secretary Gage. His success
sor was to be appointed few days ago,

the text of the note which has been handed
to Minister Woodford in answer to the COM
munication on the subject of the insurrec.
ton in the Island of Cuba which the latter
placed i'm the hands of the Duke of Tetuan
last month.
The United States minister admits hav-
ing received Spain's reply to the note of the
United States, but he declines to discuss
the matter beyond saying that the text OF
the Spanish answer will be Immediately
transmitted to Washington
From other sources il was learned that
the officials of the United States legation
We're engaged today in translating Spain's
answer, and it was reported that the United
States minister would cable to Washington
today the full text of the Spanish note.
Substance of the Note.
Although the government of Spain will
not give out the text of its reply 20 the
United States on the subject of Cuba It
was officially announced that the reply Of
the Spanish minister for foreign affairs,
Senor Gullon. is on the following lines: It

the Spanish government that by granting
autonomy to Cuba, and the withdrawing of
American support of the insurgents, the in
surrection will shortly be ended

Spanish note is marked throughout by an
energetic tone.

fine himself to acknowledging the receipt

1t to the United States government, will
request instructions from Washington be-
fore proceeding any further in the matter.

1t is not expected that the text of the
answer of Spain will be published here be-
fore the Senate has had the opportunity

understood that the text of the document
may not be published in the United States

But before December q, when Congress
reessembles, it is expected by the Spanish
officials here that the conditions of affairs
In Cuba, so far the insurrection In that
island is concerned, Will nave considerably
improved, and that, therefore, the whole
question will have assumed a brighter as
pect.
FINALLY, ii IS announced from official
sources, the Spanish government has de-
termined to actively pursue a new policy
toward Cuba and TO take more energetic
military action against the Cuban insur-
gents.
