Further Performances Prohibited

Havana, Sept. 19.-At the Tacon thea
tire Saturday night a play was produced
based upon the Dreyfus trial. in which
Dreyfus was portrayed throughout as
an innocent victim of conspiracy in the
French army. From the start the SYM
pathy for Dreyfus was plainly mani
tested. -Four Frenchmen, one of whom
is supposed to have been an officer Of
a French gunboat, now lying in the
harbor, occupied a box in the first tier.
All of them carried boatswain's whs-
ties and at the first insinuation against
the honesty Of the trial they began to
blow them and to loudly hiss the play
ers. A scene of indescribable tumult
followed, the entire audience rising in
defense of Dreyfus. The Frenchmen
We're forcibly elected and the perform
ance was continued without further in
terruption. General Blanco has pro-
hibited a further performance of the
play in Havana.
A difference of opinion between Gu
bans and Spanish officers in cafe re-
suited in an exchange of abusive IAN
guage and a free fight. The disturb
ance was promptly quelled by the police
and the ringleaders were arrested.

The Moscow correspondent of the
London Standard has discovered
novel plot against the Gar of Russia.
Several years ago regimental chapel
was planned at Tsarskoe by retired
wool merchant. The Czar laid the
foundation stone, and he was to be
present at the conservation of the
building, which was finished this year.
An artist employed to decorate the in
terror discovered wire protruding
from the wall. A further investiga-
ton revealed loaded mine under the
foundation. The arrest of the donor
and the architect followed, and the
latter is believed to be responsible for
the internal scheme to assassinate the
Gar. This incident illustrates how
patient and ingenious are the Nihilists.

The experimental production of fax
in Oregon has proceeded far enough
to warrant the existence of a linseed-
oil factory in Portland, and what the
industry needs for its further exten-
sion is scutch mills in localities where
the fibre may be protitably grown.
The fact that two tons of Oregon flax
have been sold in Scotland at more
than double the prices offered in
America is offered as evidence that
the fibre is of good quality, but the
farmers are not enthusiastic i'll the
matter, when they have to rett and
scutch the flax with primitive home
appliances. They wish to be relieved
from any responsibility in the matter
further than to produce the crop.
There is necessity, therefore, for a
class of skilled workers who will come
between the farmer and the manufac-
turer III carrying on the operations OF
retting and scutching.

"The Society of the Army of the
Santiago" is the latest addition to our
numerous military organizations de-
signed to commemorate the gallant
deeds of American soldiers on many
we'll fought fields. The new society
was inaugurated on the 3lst of July
last, in the Governors palace of Santi
ago, for the purpose, as recited on
the occasion of preserving the
archives and records, and 10 perpetuate
the memory of the invasion campaign,
and battles eliminating in the fall of
Santiago and the surrender of the
Spanish forces There is probably
no campaign in which American
troops We're engaged that is fraught
with more interesting incidents or
precious memories, or one that has
tended more to make American soldiers
famous throughout the world.

There is perfect reason for the
attachment of the immigrant to the
United States, says the Kansas City
Star. 1t is because it is the country
of his choice. No portion of this
country has ever been penal colony,
a Botany Bay or Siberia. Nobody
has been sent here on compulsion.
The immigrant to the United States
from the beginning has been volun-
teer-one who considered the matter
and concluded that his condition
would be bettered in some way in the
great, new strong country beyond the
Atlantic, where there was more land,
more room, more work, more money,
more opportunity, more liberty for
him and his children and their chill
dren.

Il never heard that there was such
a proposition by any of the powers,
said the count; ION the contrary all the
powers carefully maintained their neu-
trality throughout the war between the
United States and Spain"
Coming to the question of Russian de-
Velopment in the orient, Count Cassni
said: In building the Siberian rail-
way it was found that the route neces-
sary to be followed in reaching Vladi-
Vostock was very difficult one, made
so especially by the existence of areas
of almost impossible marshes. The en-
ginecring problems presented by that
route were practically insurmountable.
We also found that it was absolutely
necessary to cross Chinese Manchuria
in order to obtain an ice-free port, WhiCn
was essential to enable the railroad to
be Il commercially successful enterprise
Our Pacific port of Vladivostock on the
Siberian coast is closed by ice during the
winter months. We are not building a
railroad simply for the purpose of lay
ing down steel rails, or for the fun OF
the thing. 1t must have traffic when it
is built in order to Justify the invest
ment, and so we sought a terminus to
the southward, where the ships of all
nations could come at all seasons of the
year. We obtained from the Chinese
government lease of territory for a
term of years, like the lease of Kiaou-
Chou by the GermanS, and Wei-Hai-
Wei by the British. In making the ar
rangement we were not animated by
hostile purposes toward any other DOW
er. The only sure and certain revenue
which the Chinese government possess
es is it's maritime customs, and por-
ton of these was pledged for the nav
ment of our loan to China. The ad-
minstration of the maritime customs
is in the hands of an Englishman, Sir
Herbert Hart, but we did not undertake
to remove or disturb that gentleman.
We are represented as hostile to the in
terests of other nations in China, but
we have not objected to or sought to
prevent other nations from increasing
their commercial privileges in that
country. When the English acquired
an extension of territory near Hong
Kong we said nothing against it, and

factory near GuinrZ. one of the richest
in Cuba. The guerilla force. which the
proprietor maintained tu defend his
property until the arrival of the Spanish
troops, was Obliged TO surrender because
the Spanish troops now do nothing to
suppress lawlessness. The insurgents
invaded the enclosure, where they found
IA lot Of recOLCentrados. They stripped
the women naked and. placing them in
line, fired from behind them at the
guerillas, thus making it impossible for
the defenders of the fac tory to return the
fire. The correspondent declares that
the most terrible and irredeemable effect
of the prolonged civil war in the island
is the almost total destruction of the
white population"

authority of one in the presidents con-
Edence. The resignation was rendered
Immediately before Secretary Alger left
Washington 10 days ago. 1t was not
made out in the formal manner, writing,
but was rendered verbally.
In asking an official inquiry into the
war department and its various sub

Vindication. He has openly declared his
intention not to retreat under fire. and.

tary of war now bides his time waiting

If it is true that the German EN-

Americans unwisely continue To pay
nearly three times the usual wages,
causing discomfort 10 spread rapidly in
every class of workmen. All manu-
ldcturers are much hampered. the tram
ways are frequently stopped and railway
operations are seriously crippled and
diScontinuance Of the service is threat

the insurgent ranks and consequently
labor disturbances are not discouraged
by the leaders.
The news from Washington that the
Oregon and Iowa have been ordered here.
and that 60 900 tons of coal would be
shipped Immediately is interpreted by
the Americans as proof of the intention
Of the government to hold the island of

Nothing important is reported from
the insurgent congress. which holds
sessions daily at Malolos. The chief
element of cohesion is confessedly the
fear of the return of Spanish domination,

The Spanish prisoners are now

moving the prisoners is fully recognized
by the authorities but no remedy is in

the Germans have had a free hand

they have obtained very valuable priv

membered that Russia and China have
