neros, President of the Cuban republic,
Masso succeeds him as President, and

Havana University, will be appointed
Vice-President. General Quintin Ran
dera has returned to Camaguey.
A large body of insurgents is con-
centrated near Sancti Spiritus, AMI a.
combined movement of Spanish troops
against them is expected.
For the last few days Captain-Gen-
eral Weyler has been greatly annoyed
by serious affection of the throat,
with suppuration of the glands of the
aesophagus. On Wednesday after q
consultation of his physicians it was
decided that for a time the patient
must have absolute rest AS he suf-
fered severely from dysentery when in
the field, his medical advisers would
not allow him to return there for some
time on that account also.
In addition to the lad Nelson, several
other American boys have arrived at
Havana within the last few days with
the intention of joining the insurgent
army, but the advice given them is to
return to the United States. The boy
Robert Emmett Scully of Somerville,
N. j., who came to join the insurgents

THE FUR SEALS.
How to Preserve the Seal Herd-Dr
JOrdan's Views.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-Pro-
fessor David Starr Jordan the head of
the commission appointed by the
United States to investigate the fur
seal industry, has returned to this city
from Washington. He says the new
Administration is taking steps for the
final settlement of the fur-seal ques
ton.
The only way, he says, to preserve
the seal herd is to totally prohibit
pelagic sealing. Great Britain would
be asked to join with the United States,
but If that Government declined the
United States will take aggressive
measures. The female seals at the
rcokeries will be branded, and the value
of their skins destroyed, so that there
viii be no temptation for sealers to
kill them. Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Hamlin, who is very familiar
with the whole sealing question, has
been requested to remain in office until
April LIST and give his attention to the
negotiations with Great Britain.

Mr. Robertson has for many years
been dramatic editor of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle" and has achieved 4
reputa ton as brilliant writer and
dramatist. Four years ago, in conjunc-
ton with II. J. Stewart, an English
musician, Mr. Robertson wrote a comic
opera which was called His Majesty"
Mr.. Robertson wrote the libretto, which
was full of bright lines and amusing
situations. The opera was first pro-
duced by amateurs and later by pro-
fessionas at the Tivoli.
The libretto was published and sold
both here and in London and was copy
righted. Mr.. Robertson declares that
the London authors of the new produc-
ton not only borrowed the title of his
work, but also made use of several
scenes and original scenes. Although
the synopsis of the opera printed by
the London papers are very meager,
Mr.. Robertson says he has positive
proof that his work has been copied.
