ling, finished comedy of the time of
Louis Quinze, when people dressed like
Dresden china figures and moved
through their daily life with the state
liness of a minuet The delicate and
airy charm Of The French original has
been well preserved in the translation
by Sydney Grundy. and everyone of the
actors in the company, from Mr.. Drew
down to the least important person in
the cast, is thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of the play. Mr.. Drew, as the
Comte de Candale, plays the courtly
and polished man Of the world, who is
mindful Of the conventions and graces
Of life. even under the most trying cir
cumStances. and who wears his powder
and patches his gay coat and dainty
shoes. with a grace which only comes
from studied observance of the amen

not permitted that one should be guilty
Of rudeneSs i'm so doing. The charm of
the present comedy. however. lies in
its revelations Of human feeling of the
most tender and idyllic sort. under the
brilliant cynicism and effforescent fat

the spectacle Of a husband and wife,

Postmaster General Gary Il Succeed.

Postmaster General Gary Il Succeed
ed by Charles Emory Smith.
Washington, April %. - The presi-
dent has sent to the senate the nomina-
ton OF Charles Emory Smith of Phil
adelphia as postmaster general, to
succeed Mr.. Gary, resigned.
Postmaster General Gary resigned
on account Of ill health. The Pcnnsyl-
vania senators were consulted before
Mr.. Smiths appointment was made.
1t is stated at the White House that
Postmaster General Gary's resignation
had absolutely nothing whatever to do
with our present foreign complications.
1t was owing entirely, it is stated, to
the condition Of Mr.. Gary's health. He
has suffered a great deal Of late from
n general breaking down of the sys-
tenn which had continued to progress.
until finally Mr.. Gary reluctantly
reached the conclusion that he was I'M
able longer TO carry the burden OF his
office.
The nomination of Charles Emory
Smith to be postmaster general was
confirmed by the senate in executive
session without objection.

Washington, April 19.-After one of
the hardest fought battles between
the two houses known in many years
congress at an early hour this morn
ing came to IN agreement upon the
most momentous question it has dealt
with in a third of a century. The
Cuban resolution was passed and will
be sent to the president this morning.
Its provisions mean the expulsion OF
Spain from the Island of Cuba by the
armed forces of the United States.
There were many roll calls in both
houses and each body held tenacious
iy for its own resolution. The COLI
ferees had great difficulty in agreeing.
The first conference showed a deter
mination on the part of the house not
to yield n single point, and it was
only after long consultations with the
house leaders that they agreed to al
low the little words "are, and' in the
first section of the senate resolution,
which declares that the people of
Cuba are, and of right ought to be
free and independent. The resolution
as finally adopted is that reported
from the senate committee on foreign
relations, with the addition of the
fourth section, known as the Teller
amendment, disclaiming any intention
on the part of the United States to &C.
quire Cuba.

Key West. Fla, April 24.-The first
Spanish prize is the steamer Buena
Ventura from I'ascagoula, Miss. for
Rotterdam, with lumber. The Nash
vile fired q blank shot, which the
Spaniard ignored. This was followed
by shot from a siX-pounder. The
Buena Ventura then surrendered with
her crew of twenty men.
The Nashville tOwed her prize into
this harbor at IL o'clock this morning
and put a prize crew on board. Both
ships are lying we'll out in the stream.
The news of the capture OF the Span
ish vessel set the people OF Key West
frantic with enthusiasm. All work has
been suspended and the docks were
crowded with people.
The United States fleet was about
twelve miles off Sand Key light yes
terday morning at when the Spanish
merchantnan Buena Ventura was
sighted. bound north. The gunboat
Nashville ran her down and put shot
across her bows. The Spaniard ig-
nored the shot; but another, closer to
her bows. brought her two.
A prize crew under Ensign Il. r.
Magruder was put aboard. Capt. Lu-
carraga, in command of her, was as
tolnded. He said he did not know
that war had been declared; but when
he was informed of the state OF af-
fairs, he shrugged his shoulders and
accepted the situation ph'losophically.

The gunboat Nashville steamed
proudly out Of the harbor late this
afternoon having achieved the first
victory OF the war, although 4 blood

miles when the Dolphin signaled her
to return. She steamed back and re-
ceivcd orders. the nature Of which was
rot divulged, and put to sea again,
finally to join the fleet and, incident
ally, to pick up any other vagMnt ship
of the enemy that happens to come
within range Of her guns. The cruiser
Marblehead, the monitor Puritan, the
Algonquin and the Mangrove sailed
this afternoon to join the fleet. The
only ships of the squadron now re-
naming here are the Dolphin. the Ter
ror and the Helena. all of which are
likely to move within few hours.
1t is reported this evening that the
Buena Ventura ran aground OIL a reef
about mile out and is leaking. Tugs
went to her assistance and pulled her
off. Considerable mystery surrounds
the affair.
On excellent authority it is reported
that the destination Of the fleet is
Matanzas. On board the flagship is
Capt. Aranguran. brother of the late
Brig. Gel. Nestor Aranguren. He
will pilot the fleet to Matanzas. The
Cuban pilots went en- board last night

learned to-day that the cable between
Key West and Punta Rassa had been
cut about two miles this side Of Sanbel
Island. about III miles from Key West.
The matter was kept secret and the break
has been repaired. The incident looked
suspicious, as the broken end of the ca
Die showed that 1t had been cut Glenn
through. The rupture might have been
accidental. as the water is shallow where
the break occurred. and the anchor Of
some vessel may have become entangled
IN the cable but the shallowness of the
water would render the cutting by an en-
envy comparatively easy task
Capt. Sampson learned of it to-day and
wired the navy department at Washing
ton. It has been decided to establish q
careful guard In these waters and any
suspicious craft will be summarily dealt
with. The revenue cutter Mclean has al
ready been sent on patrol there. The
matter is Of the utmost Importance, as
the cables between here and Punta Rassa
are the only communication with the
mainland. and IL they were interfered

fusion was so great that business could
scarcely proceed. Notwithstanding
the vice presidents earnest and con-
slant effort to preserve order, the
members gathered in groups about the
chamber, eXcitedly discussing the
various phases of the question Of the

A feeling Of bitterness grew up be-
tween the senate and the house during
the late afternoon and evening that
at one time seemed likely to delay &C.
ton. Cooler counsels prevailed, how
ever, and determination of the mo-
mentous question was finally reached.
Those who were fighting for recogni-
ton Of the island republic early de-
cided that the senate should not take
the initiative in requesting a confer.
ence between the two houses. They
further resolved that when the senate

less surely lost ground, however, be-

compact minority opposed to them.
They yielded only after one of the
bitterest contests in the history of the
senate. They capitulated but did not
surrender. The scene in the senate
even up to the minute of adjournment
was one Of wonderful beauty and I'M
pressiveness. Hundreds of brilliantly
attired women and men in evening
dress filled the galleries. On the floor
were the makers of the country's his

Especial Correspondence)- Warllke dis

gentlemen in a corner of the smoking room
Of the Indiana Mineral Springs Hotel today.
Several veterans of the civil war who have

took lively interest in the discussion.
Many interesting stories of the late con-

First Maine Cavalry which by special
order Of the War Department has seven
more battles on its colors than any other

of having turned more of its troopers into
preachers at the close of hostilities than
any other regiment Of the northern army,
while several Of the men who have been
governors of the Pine Tree state since 1868
