UNDER THE RED RODE.

This famous play after its enormous
SUCCESS in London and New York will be
produced here for the only time on next
Monday night at Grand Opera House.
Its production will be marked with all the
attention to scenery, costumes and stage
garniture which characterized its run
both in London and In New York. Mr..
julius Calm has brought together largo
company of prominent New York actors.
Notably among them, and heading tho
list are. Mr.. William Morris, romantic
actor of undoubted culture and great
power, and Miss Frances Gaunt, a new
conner but lady of much experience in
emotional roles. The play, we arc nssur-
ed. Is as absorbing and fascinating as the
novel. The dramatist, Mr.. Edward Rose,
has done his work with admirable disore-
tion and good effect and those who have
read the book will thoroughly enjoy the
play, while spectators who have not road
the book can follow, and comprehend the
substance Of the story perfectly.

General Woods Method of Placing
Cubans in Control,
THE GU USes TOO LAZY TO WORK,
The Military Commander Urged to
Send Food to Manzanlllo, But Being
Advised That There Is Plenty of
Work There He Refuses to Do So.

' "!"s
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 28-The sys-
tenn OF civil government established by
General Wood is practically complete
and In good working order. Major Nc
Cleary, formerly attorney general of
Toxasf.and Q Spanish scholar, has been
appointed mayor, and the Spanish off,
Gals are giving place to Cubans. Cen
eral Wood says he does not know the
capabilities of the men taking office.
| Ihey are chosen by committee of so
prominent Cubans, whom he believes to
be honest and conscientious. This COM
mlttee recommends men whom itsmem-
bers think would be efficient in the
various offices to be filled. The choice
of men by the committee must be
unanimous and must be made over the
signature of the entire SO members.
General Wood finds that the plan works
admirably. Lieutenant Blount has been
appointed to codify the Cuban laws.
The Cubans earnestly request General
Wood to send to Manzanillo food and
clothing. They declare there is much
suffering there, but private advices re-
ceived by General Wood deny abso-
lutely the stories of destitution and de-
clare that work Is obtainable, but that
the Cubans will not work. and he has
therefore refused to send the supplies
asked for.
Senior Rigney. one of the largest
sugar planters in Cuba, who has ar
rived here from Manzanillo reports the
conditions there worse than ever The

permission for the carrying on of work |
