A large audience, though one hardly
attaining the old time conference pro-
portions, was in attendance at the the
atre last evening 90 see James O'NeilPs
new production of the old play 1.-THE
Dead Heart" The probabilities are
that the line on the bills by permits
sion of Henry Irving" is but an ad-
vertising device, since the old drama
did service in Salt Lake more than a
quarter OF century ago, and was one
of the familiar stock stand-bys of the
old Deseret players. 1t is said to have
been suggested by Dickens Tale of
Two Cities" and written about the
same time. Irving probably bestowed
a great deal of care on its revival. and
doubtless Mr.. O'Neill has followed Irv-
ings IDEAS with fidelity, for the strong,
interesting and heavy old play was
staged last evening with a great deal
of attention to detail, and with many
fine dramatic effects. The storming of
the bastile and guillotine tableau de-
serve special mention. All the care in the
world, however, could not disguise the
fact that the play belongs to the school
of other days and all the generous
mountings could not quite conceal the
old faShionedneSS of the construction.
But this is not saying that the audience
did not thoroughly enjoy it. Sad and
mournful as it is. and it absolutely
reaches the clammy stage of the luSu-
brious it affords O'Neiil some rare op-
portunities, all of which he thoroughly
improved. In the second act, where he

scene between him and Mr.. Thompson,
who was specially good as the villain,
was excellent, as were also the closing
scenes around the guillotine. Miss Dodd
was strong as the suffering heroine,
whose character the author has so por-
trayed as to deprive il of any great
degree of sympathy; Nj. Breese was
admirabl as the leader of the mob, and
AR Jennings did with credit the role of
the secondary villain, also a weak piece

Whereas. The government of Spain
for three years past has been waging
war in the island OF Cuba against the
revolutionary government established in

Whereas, This war, by reason of the

and has caused serious injury to the
commercial interests of the United
States. involving the destruction of the
lives and property of many of our citi-
zens. disturbing the business of our en-
tire country, endangering public health
and comfort by reason Of the proximity
of pestilencial diseases. causing our gov
eminent to expend millions of money in
patrolling our coasts and in policing the
high seas in order to maintain the obliga-
tions of neutrality and finally when our
forbearance has already been taxed to its
limit one of our battleShips anchored in

Whereas. There is no definite prospect
and no present energetic efforts on the
part of the government of Spain to sup
press the revolution and restore peace to
the island. and
Whereas. The further prosecution of
hostilities will result in further injury to
the commercial and business interests of
the United States, without benefit to the
government of Spain, then,

hereby clothed with power to use all the
land and naval forces in order to accom-
plish this end.

RIGHTS OF BELLIGERENTs.
Frederic r. Coudert On the Declare
ton of Paris.


New York, April 6.-Frederic R.
Coudert. an authority on international
law, referring to the statement made
two days ago in the British house of
commons by Sir Richard Webster, to
the effect that neither the United
between the two countries, would be
affected by the declaration of Paris,
and that the right Of search by them
for the contraband of war undoubtedly
exists. said today:
1T is plain, as stated by Sir Rich
ard Webster, that the rights of Spain
and the United States respectively as
belligerents should not be affected by
the declaration of Paris. This is a
truism They were neither parties t.
the congress, and cannot be bound by
its results. l cannot agree, however,
TO the proposition that the United
States has lost any rights by express
ing opinions in the past upon subjects
now coming up in practical shape. The
rights of the United States must be
regulated by the measure of her obli-
cations. Her obligations and duties are
not to be increased in the one case or
diminished in the other by expressions
of opinion on the part of those who
might happen to be temporarily at the
head of the government. Especially is
this so of those expressions which were
not acquiesced in by Spain. 1t is GER
tainly an untenable proposition to hold
that the United States have estopped
themselves from the exercise of right
which Spain continues to posses be-
cause the former has expressed opin-
ions against and the latter in favor of
such rights.
LAS to the right of search itself, 1t
does not seem to be definite in ex-
tent from what it has heretofore BEEN
AS the neutral is bound to abstain
from carrying contraband of war, and
in order to ascertain that fact, either
belligerent is at liberty to search the
vessel that carries a neutral flag.
