Senator. elect Money has spoken and his
talk has created II sensation. 1t now
transpircs that he went to Cuba as the
correspondent of the New York Journal,
and in his communication to that paper
he sides strongly with the rebels, and
puts Consul. General Lee down as saying
that the Spaniards will never be able to
suppress the instruction. AS he is Il
member of the House committee on for.
eign affairs, it would not be surprising if
his report did not stir up the Spanish
wrath to the fighting point. However
the Spaniards have been killing Amerl-
cans in Cuba wherever they could catch
them, and the day of reckoning for these
murders might just as well come now rs
at any time. Later Information from
Consul Lee, however, denies that he in
structed Mr.. Money with any message to
Secretary Olney. or that he talked with
him on Cuban affairs. Mr. Money will
now have IL hard time explaining his pc
Sition.

DUDLEY,S ESCAPE.

The Providence Evening Telegram
says: Hands Across the Sea-" that pop
ular melod-ama, was presented at the
Providence Opera House last night before
Il very large audience. 1t will run the
remainder of the week. Few plays given
in Providence this season present such
fine opportunities for effective actn. us
this. There are many novel scenic fea-
tures-some of them, indeed, being quite
startling.
The drama comprises five acts. opening
with n scene at Nettlewood farm, in De.
vonshire, passing through Paris and its
hotels and prisons and eliminating at
Sidney, in Australia
The story is an absorbing one through
out, and pictures II plot in which poverty
and wealth. virtue and depravity, artless-
ness and scheming villainy are strikingly
interviewer. There is much clever work,
and the scenes in the gambling hotel and
the murder of Count Paul are cminently
tragic in their details Mr.. Henry Pier
son, rs the villain was so realistic in his
plots that when he appeared before the
curtain the audience complimented him
by some vigorous Kissing, which fact
caused the more discriminating to shout
with laughter.
Dudlcy's escape from prison, the scene
on an Australian steamer, the detection
and conviction of the villain and the death
of Jean de l.uSsac furnished some CT the
most graphic situations. The play is
we'll staged, well enacted, and deserves n
continuance of the financial success which
attended il last night
AT the Academy Saturday night.
