Willie Collier the comedian, made his

ton from the French, The Man from
Mexico" While it was on the audi

thing but laughter and the attendant
enjoyment of the amusing situations,
but when it was all over the audience

There were probably a mum Der OF
people in the audience last night VINO
had seen the piece before, for II IS Ivy
no means new to the stage. Fifteen
years 90 it was presented in this coun-
try under the name Of Fourteen Days,
but it failed to gain even a senblance
of success. Five years later Nat Good
win essayed the task of making 1t en-
tertaiuing to the American public IN

after a short season he gave It up as an
impossibility. It remained for Willie
Collier TO make IT one of the biggest
farcicaI successes of the past two years
after it had undergone material changes
by the author of that clever creation,
Ny Friend from India"
That Collier and Du SOuchet have
made the piece highly entertaining is
greatly evident at its every perform
ance. but there is room for criticism
in one particular. The fun is scarcely
spontaneous enough, and whether il is
the fault of the author or the actor IS
hard to determine. The situations and
complications of the farce are among
the most Iaughable that have been seen
on the stage. but all through the piece
the fun seems to be to a considerable
extent forced Many of the witticisnls
of Willie Collier are fed UP to- in the

SANTIAGO'S. NEW MAYOR.
His Appointment is Celebrated With
Much Enthusiasm

SANTIAGO de Cuba Nov ga large
mass meeting was held last night to
congratulate Senior Bacardi on his ap-
pOinrment as mayor, to succeed Major
NcLeary- Several hundreds of the best
known citizens, accompanied by band
and torchIight procession, in which Gu
ban and American flags figured, march
ed to the residence of Senior Bacardi,
where complimentary speeches We're
made
The new mayor responding said he
would endeavOr to harmonic all in
terests and urged his hearers TO obey
the law themselves and persuade others
to obey it, never forgetting that Cuba
was now on trial before the world.
When the procession returned to the
point where il had formed the band
played Cuban and American airs and
the crowds cheered the name of General
Wood.
General Sanguilly, a soldier of the
first revolution, who was recently ap-
pointed by the Cuban assembly to in
vestigate as to the amount required to
pay of the insurgent troops, has ar
rived here He was heartily welcomed
by the Cubans. He has requested the
various officers to prepare statements
as to their periods OF service
A proposition has been made to the
Chamber Of Commerce to ask an add
tiOnal import duty of 10 per cent with
a view to a fund to help pay off the
troops Merchants are indignant at this
request, claiming their burdens should
be reduced instead of Increased. The
members of the chamber fear to offend
the Insurgents, but they will not accede
to this proposition
Considerable friction has arisen be
tween the different factions over the
appointment of supreme court Judges.
AS it was found that two additional
members would be required, General
Wood has appointed Urbane Sanchez
EchaVarria and Luis CASTOR. The court
is now reOrganized, Senior Echavarria
being chief justice and Senior Tamayo
associate justice. The court will con-
vene on Thursday
Local merchants object to the
anomalous position in which Santiago
is placed, as the district is paying duty
on goods arriving from those parts Of
the island that are under the Spanish
authorities and gaining nothing on
goods from the United States.
