AN ACTOR ITO THE MANOR BORN"
If the value Of work must be
Judged only by its effect, then Lewis
Morrison must certainly be making a
fatal financial error in announcing this
his last visit as 'Mephisto" in
Faust" on next Monday night at the
Grand Opera House. Few, if any, ac-
tors have been so literally reimbursed
in q monetary way, or have so indeli-
bly, imprinted themselves in the esteem
Of the community as Mr.. Morrison
has in Faust" and while ambition
may suggest a change Of play, yet one
never gets too much Cf a good thing.
To relinquish Morrison in Faust" for
future uncertainty, is done with re-
luctance. Endowed with a face nature
has cast in a heroic mold, physical
contour decidedly MephistOphelean and
with great elocutionary power TO aid
scholarly BRAIN makes him especially
well fitted for "MephistO,' and it is
difficult to imagine a character which
could be better adapted to him. How
ever, one must bow to the inevitable
and chronicle his farewell tour Much
greater elaboration than heretofore has
been given to this seasons production.
Entirely new scenery, effects, etc. have
been CONSTRUCTED and arranged to give
eclat to the exit Of famous actor from
a famous creation.

BEATEN BY BURGLARS.
County Treasurer MurderOusly As
saulted and His Safe Looted.

MADEIRA, Cal, May 25.--County Treas
urer Krohn has been terribly beaten by rob-
bers and the strong box of the county rified
of it's contents by the robbers. The treas
urer was found in an unconscious condition
in his office. He had been beaten about the
face with billy or sandbag, but was not
fatally wounded. The marble floor Of the
Office is marked with trail of blood from
the vault to the front door, where the
wounded treasurer dragged himself on his
hands and knees. The safe was empty.
About $50 in silver and few gold pieces
were scattered on the floor. 1t was found
that the outer door had been forced open.
and as blood was found on the rear porch
it is conjecrured that the robbers fled by
that route. A broken pane was discovered
in the window separating the Office from the
hallway. Three stone drills were found in
the office and one of these had been used
to break the glass. In a semi-conscious
moment Treasurer Krohn inquired: Did
you get 'em?" This would Indicate that
two or more men were implicated. The
men were seen riding the blind baggage
as the south bound train pulled out. The
booty secured was probably only a few hun
bred dollars.

various reasons for abandoning this plan,
such as the discovery of the insufficient

delay the campaign meant the absolute ex-
termination of the starving reconcentrados,
and there were beside international reasons
for making haste. These considerations
caused complete change in the army plans
and that involved delay To equip an army
of 10000 men in thirty days and put them
in condition to fight trained veteran SOL
diers on their own soil was no small under
taking, so that in the opinion OF some of
the highest officers of the administration
there is no reasonable ground for passing
the criticism that there is or has been I'M
due delay in beginning the military cam

Halifax City, Captain Newton, which ar
rived from London yesterday, reports that
on May 81 on the eastern edge of the banks,

going along at an eleven-knot rate, the
lights of stranger were observed directly
astern. This was about 1890 o'clock. The
unknown vessel was heading directly down
on the Furness liner, and to avoid a col
lision Captain Newton ordered light to be
placed on the stern. This had the effect
of making the other alter her course slight

DR.. Hyatt says that the harbor of Santiago
is mined, and especially at it's mouth, and
the entrance is tortuous. Little can be seen
from the outside so winding is the entrance.
IF the Spanish fleet is really within the
harbor," he said, lit is bottled up and as
good as demolished. The guns for the most
part are not of the latest pattern although
there are some tiptop ones. But the AmeTi-
can squadron could easily silence them all.
The Cuban government quarters are within
