Revival of "Our Boys"

II Is little too soon yet, says the New
Post, to foretell the result of the revival of
Ryron's phenomenally successful "Our
Boys" by Mr.. Thomas Thorne, in London.
The public seems to have taken to 1t kindly.
but the critics, almost with one accord, find
it dreadfully old-fashioned, clumsy and
dull. One Of them says: ut Is five years
since Byron's masterpiece was revived
before, and 1 suggest that 1t ought to be
resurrected every five years or So to serve
as a sort of pedometer of progress, and
help us to realize how far we have ad-
vanced. For 1t is certainly one of the mos;
amazing productions ever seen on any
stage. For sheer audacious unlikeness to
life, in manners, sentiments, wit, charac-

years since this play was the rage and

Death of Diego de Vivo

Diego de Vivo, in his day the most
famous grand opera impresario in this
country, died at his home, 232 West Seven
ty-fifth street, yesterday, of paralysis,
says the New York Times of the 18th inst.
De Vivo's life reads like page from
romance, and probably no man ever had so
many incidents crowded into ever 76 years
of life.
Diego de Vivo first saw the light in
Sarno, Province of Salerno. italy, in 1872.
He was educated by his uncle and studied
for the priesthood, but, becoming nfatua-
ted with young woman early in his career.
he forsook his studies, and, after many
tempestuous scenes with his mother and
his uncle. went to the Grand Museum OF
Arts in Naples to study architecture. Here
again his youthfullove affair intruded. and,
stung by the reproaches Of his relatives,
he ran away and enlisted in the army At
this time-about 1S47-1taly was torn with
revolutions, and De Vivo distinguished him
self in many battles against the rebels,
winning his straps for bravery. Later he
became master of gymnastics in the army.
Meanwhile his inamorata married some
one else, and, forsaking the army, DE
Vivo became an instructor of gymnastics
on his own account.
In April, 1S49. he became agent for
monthly publication entitled History of
the Italian Martyrs Since 1885," and was
so successful that he accumulated a for
tune equal to $4,000. on which he save him

The Theater Tax
Nearly all the theaters and concert halls
in New York are within the boundaries Of
the Third internal revenue district, and
most of them have already paid their spec
ial tax of 800. The war revenue law de-
fines "theater" as follows: Every edifice
used for the purpose of dramatic or operate
or other representations, plays or perform
ances for admission to which entrance
money Is received, not including halls
rented or used occasionally for concerts or
theatrical representations, shall be re-
garded as a theater." The concert hall

ial tax without grumbling.

UPRISING AT MATANZAS.
Spanish Soldiers Revolt, Shouting

HAVANA, Nov. 20.-Another uprjs-

at Matanzas. The news received there
that the troops in Havana had been
paid by Blanco aroused the Indignation
Of the soldiers, whose wages are a wear
in arrears.
They revoIted in their barracks.

Spanish military commander at Mat
anzas, telegraphed Gen. Blanco. de-
manding money. Gen. Blanco has al
ready distributed all available funds to
pay the Havana troops, in order to
keep them quiet; but he authorized
Gen. Molina to demand money from
the branch Of the Spanish bank at
Matanzas
This news alarmed the shareholders
of the bank in Havana. The governor
of the bank, Ssnor Galtis, has already
placed funds in England to save the
institution from possible attack by
Spanish soidiery and the unjust de-
mands OF Gen. BIanco. The counselor
Of the bank told the correspondent OF
the Inter Ocean this morning that the
situation of the bank was very grave
while the Spanish government remains
in control OF the island.
Gen. Blanco continues inspiring al
anti-An1er1can campaign. His officers
openly declare that the Spanish civil
ians are traitors. Every word in praise
of Calixto Garcia's friendly attitude to-
ward Americans IS blotted out by the
press censor, and nothing can be tele-
graphed about the demonstrations
when Garcia left for New York. The
local press is compelled to maintain ala
attitude of indifference with regard to
the United States.
Work for encamping the American
troops is rapidly progressing. A tun-
mel is being built from Vanto Springs
to Maranao to supply water to the
camping ground of the army of occu-
patton.
Gen. Lee IS expected to arrive here
in about three weeks.
