launched It is under the direction of that eminent scenic artist, Harley Mer- ry, who spared neither time nor expense in making this production what it is. It can be classed as the strongest melo- drama presented here this season. The cast is exceedingly stronger than the one last season. In the part of Lieuten- ant Percival Grant of the United States navy will be seen Leander Blander, one who has long since won the admiration of theater-goers for his marked ability as one of the very best of the younger American actors, having especially stamped himself as the most capable actor in romantic roles that the stage can boast of to-day. He has rarely been seen to better advantage than as Lieutenant Percival Grant of the Unit ed States navy, role which lends it. self happily to his graceful personality, his refined artistic appreciation, his powerful and finely modulated voice and his eloquent reading. Terese Dea- gle Is admirably fitted for the role of Cuba. She is a young woman of rare beauty and soon won the hearts of the audience. Kathlyn Davenport as the tigress of Andalusia made a truly will lainous villain. The work of c. H. Goodrich as General Vasquez needs es- pecial commendation. His makeup can be called gorgeous. Josephine Britain made a motherly Verona, wife of Anto- nio Verona, the planter. Rose Evans made bewitching Mercedes, belle of Barcelona. The comedy work of James Fitzpatrick as Bill Purvis is also wor- thy of mention, as is also that of J. M. Welch as Patsy Sullivan, both sailors. L. D. Blondell made a brave Maceo.

at a considerable reduction of the pres ent duty, it would create much great CT demand in America for their sugar, and would, in all probability, so raise the price in the West Indies as to make the production profitable. Manifestly, the reduction of the duty would not raise the price in America, but would tend to reduce it. On the other hand, if the revenue duties on American goods were reduced by similar discrimina- tion in their favor, it would lead to in- creased sales and might eventually give the United States complete control of the West India trade"
 Whether these results are to be ex- pected or not, the United States already controls about two-thirds of the West India trade, which is now threatened in the impending financial ruin of the col onies If the results expected from counterVailing duties could be accom- plished by them it would mean trans fer of the West India sugar market from the United States to Great Brit ain, with a considerable portion of the West India trade If, however what is most likely, the countervailing duties WOulu uOl dCCoiiPiiSh lHe ieooiIS C-> pected, or, what is more probable still, if the countervailing duties are not granted, unless relief can be had from the United States the financial ruin of the West Indies seems inevitable. This result would ultimately mean a loss to America of the greater portion of her West India trade.
 Barbadoes has always been an in- tensely loyal island, more English in feeling than any other British colony in the West Indies. Much bitterness towards England prevails there now. The colonists think they have been grossly neglected by the mother coun- try. There Is corresponding growth of kindness towards the United States.
 Heretofore America and Americans have never been very popular in the West Indies. Expressions in favor of annexation to the United States are by no means infrequent in Barbadoes now, and they are very open. This Is espe- cially true among the young business men of the island. This feeling is gain
 ing ground, too, among the planters. America would have scarcely anything to gain by the annexation of Barba- | does, or of any of the British West In
 dies, even if it could be peaceably ac- complished, but there certainly never | was a more favorable opportunity for an advantageous reciprocity treaty. E. P. ARVINE.
