AN OPERA SINGERS ROMANCE

waukee Eusiness Man.
New York, Oct. IA romance which
began in Milwaukee q year ago had its
climax in Hoboken Saturday, when Au-
gust Reinhardt, n wealthy business man
of Milwaukee, married Nine Johanna
Bohrmann, a German operatic singer.
Twelve months ago Mr.. Reinhardt met
Nine. Bohrmann while she was singing
in Milwaukee. He was introduced to her
by the manager of the opera company of
which she was a member. and the two
became such fast friends that their en-
gagement was announced soon afterward
An engagement to appear in Germany
prevented Nine. Bohrmann consenting to
an early marriage, but she promised Mr.
Reinhardt to become his wife on the close
of her European trip. Nine Bohrmann ar
rived in Hoboken on the Bremen liner
Carlsruhe on Friday afternoon, and Mr.
Reinhardt was the first to greet her as
she walked down the gangplank. Yester-
day they were married in Meyers Hotel
by Justice Schlichting. Today they will
start for Milwaukee, where they will
make their home.
Mrs Reinhardt said yesterday that she
had made up her mind to leave the stage

Black and His Friends Find 1t Hard
to Forgive.
Albany, NY, Oct 17.-It will be some
time. apparently. before the biunder of the
Republican State committee in sending
Col. Roosevelt into this section without
notifying Gov. Black will be either for
gotten or forgiven. and as matter OF
fact. 1t looks very much as If the cir
cumstance would enter into the factional
politics of the party.
The machine leaders are inclined to an
swer sharply the criticisms that have been
freely made on the incident. and say that
even IL he was not notified 1t was the du-
ty of Gov. Black. as a fighting Republic
can, to put on his coat. swallow his
pride and go to Troy with the candidate
so that whatever enthusiasm his pres
ence might awaken would not be lack
ing. They also say that II the governor
is such a weighty man in Rensselaer,
County, he ought to be able, with the aid
of the long-distance telephone. to turn
out Troy crowd with whole hour at
his disposal Altogether, they are in
clined to lay considerable part Of the
lIOy llOsI " biit PiththitiASS Va SOAA-
siderable frigidity in Albany.
To such spirited remarks and others
that would not look quite as well in print
the friends of Gov. Black retort that If
the Roosevelt campaign does not pan out
as the people expected the whole fault
will rest with little clique, that just
| now is directing the Republican State
committee.
1t is charged openly by the friends OF
| Gov. Black in this vicinity that while the
| Democratic managers were hustling in all
the counties to get their men ready for
effective work. the Republican State
| committee was chiefly interested in pledg-
ing delegates 10 carry out its orders 10
| defeat the governor. and in circulating
rumors that would influence the people
| against him. For this reason 1t is ar
| gued that the Republican party at the
beginning of this very important cam
paign finds itself in this State in a con-
dition that gives the enemy a good chance
| to win the fight for control of the gov
ernment. The comparison OF campaign
methods is favorite form OF argument
here. and invariably leads to trouble be-
tween the adheren.s OF the two Republi-
can factions.

anti-lynching ENTHUSIASM has received a
setback from the Anne Arundel County
commissioners.
Whenever there has been n lynchins
in this State the governor has denounc-
ed it. and generally offered reward for
the lynchers. Recently Wright Smith.
a colored man, who had long criminal
record. celebrated his return to freedom
by committing most brutal crime. He
was caught. identified and after a con-
fession lynched
Gov Lowndes came out with his usual
denunciation and sent letter urging
the Anne Arundle County commission
ers to offer a reward of 500 for the ar
rest of the lynchers. The letter was read
at the meeting of the commissioners and
the suggestion was unanimously and un-
tremendously rejected.
The commissioners reminded the gov
ernor that he had neglected to suggest
a reward for the arrest of .he Negro
who had committed the awful crime.

CLEANING UP SANTIAGO.
Capt. Mestre Describes Gen. Woods
Excellent Work There.


Excellent Work There.
New York, Oct. I7.-Capt. Aurelius
Mestre, who volunteered as a military
aide at the outbreak of the war and who
has been on the staff of Gen. Leonard
Wood, the American commander at San
tiago, has returned to his home in New
York on a leave of absence. Capt
Mestre took an active part in the mill
tary operations round Santiago, and his
valuable services at San Juan and La
Quasina have caused Gems. Wheeler,
Wood and Lawton to recommend him to
the War Department for promotion.
Capt Mestre came up from Cuba on the
Berlin. He suffered a severe attack of
malaria. and his trip was made in order
to allow him TO gain back his health
He expects to return to Santiago in the
course OF a couple of months.
In discussing the present condition of
the Cuban city. now under American oc-
cupation, Capt. Mestre stated that un-
der Gen. Woods vigorous administra-
ton Santiago was now as clean as the
average American city of its size. The
dirt of ages was fast disappearing. \
large shipment of two-wheeled carts for
street-cleaning purposes and been sent
to Gen. Wood, and these had been used
TO excellent advantage in cleansing the
thoroughfares. Gen. Wood was expect
ed to turn his attention next to the wa
terworks. These will be put in perfect
condition. According to Capt. Mestre
that part of the harbor near the piers
will be thoroughly dredged. at a cost of
about $4,000. II is expected that many
of the insurgents will thus be given en-
ployment and made to earn their living
instead of being an expense to the Gov
erument of the United States, as they
are at present. Capt. Mestre also said
that when he left Gen. Wood was busy
perfecting a system of rural guard or
country police, for the protection of the
farmers of that section, who were anX-
ious to resume agricultural operations.
Capt. Mestre described the American
soldiers as a well-contented body of men,
and the sickness among them was rapid
ly disappearing. In regard to business
he expressed the opinion that there
would be excellent opportunities in the
future, when all classes had accommo-
dated themselves to the new conditions.

Once they stayed three days without any
food. having to be fed by the charitable
people of the town. II Is said also that
many Of the troops are In great need of

The big Spanish liner Montserrat is
anxfously awaited by all as she is said to
bring, besides ammunition. the necessary
food supply for the island. VIII she be
able to evade the American warships

Arrival of the Americans has become

that they would rather become American
than remain under Spanish rule. Both
Captain General Macias and the military
governor. General Ortega. are anxiously
awaiting the Americans to give them
second lesson. as they did on May r.
when Admiral Sampson had to retire
from the effect of the Spanish guns at
MORO Castle. But everybody believes
that when the time comes it will be a

Spain has l5.000 regulars in Porto Rico.
All clerks in San Juan are forced to
serve in the army during the present cri-

clare that the sympathy of the local res
