BACH vEToEs THE SCHEME.

pAIh NElOEo lHE GCHEME
The Regulars, however, have failed to
keep their alleged promises, and 1t is said
that Bach put a veto on the agreement in
the shape Of ringing letter to State Chair.
man Browne, e,denouncing the new charter.
Since then the Regulars have hesitated, but
during the past few days much pressure
by Republican business men has been
brought to bear on the Regulars, and one
of them said to dav that there was still a
possibility of the Regulars swinging in for
the charter.
Bach, however, has not relented, aud
said to-day: "This is the Legislature that
ton a new and proper city charter. God for-
Did. The city does not want trading
stamp charter at the hands OF trading
stamp statesmen and for the benefit Of
trading stamp politicians"
MAY BEA CLEAN SWEEP.
Leading Republican business men fear
that II tho charter, drawn by the com.
mission, does not 60 through, and amend
ed charter will be passed which will legis-
late practically all the present city Re.
publican oflice-holders out of office by
July /.
The success Of scheme of this sort,
which is being urged. depends on State
Senator Stewart, the Addicks leader whom
the Regular republicans professed to say
had gone back on the Union men.
1t is positively asserted that Stewart has
declared thai he is in favor of new char
ter provided 1t suis him. Stewart, it is
said, will join In with the Dickey Demo-
Gratis, and agree on q charter by which he
is allowed to name two of the Republican
members of the Mayors Cabinet, and he
Is said to havo slated Fred Handy, son Of
the late Senator Handy, and Stephen
Downey, another strong Addicks Republi-
can. for these positions.
Ths result of this deal would be the
complete dumping of the Regular Rspub-
licans in this city and the control of prac-
tically all the offices by the Democrats
and the Union Republicans.
Judge Spruance will appoint Police
Commissioner to succeed John w. Law

though official advices were lacking
that Cervera was in Santiago de Cuba

Some officials still hold 70 this belief,

The reason for this is that news received
from different sources reveal the fact that

Cienfuegos for Santiago de Cuba until
Tuesday evening and that the vessels on

DIGBY BELLS NEW PLAY.
He Won't Appear in 'SThe Rooster
Doctor Much Longer.

Digby Bell will close with ''The
Hoosier Doctor on January Z, and will
take his company to New York to re-
hearse a new piece. 1t is a comedy
drama from the pen of Frances Hodg-
son Burnett, and will be called Joe
Hurst, Gentleman
This is the first announcement Of the
fact of Mr.. Bell abandoning THE
Hoosier Doctor and securing a new
piece by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
He will open with Joe Hurst, Gen
tleman" in Washington some time in
February. He will then take the piece
to Chicago, and If it takes well there
will go into New York late In the sea-
son.
Joe Hurst is a retired Snowman
with plenty of money, but plain in his
tastes. He has a daughter who was
left motherless in infancy and has been
educated since a child in Paris. At the
opening of the piece she is a, young lady
coming home to her father, whom she
has not seen since a small child. She
pictures him as an aristOcratic old gan
tleman, and when he meets her at the
depot she takes him for the family ser
want. This completely brushes the old
man, and he allows her to think her
father is absent from home and poses
in the role she has thrust upon him. In
the last act she discovers the true con-
ditiOn of affairs.
