L. Grlpp- In Denver.

Denver, Dice. 23-An epidemic OF
grip has appeared in Denver. 1t is of
the same character as that from which
New, York. Philadelphia, Boston and
many other great cities are suffering.
Some of the leading physicians of
Denver say that there are not hun
dreds, but thousands Of cases Of q mild
form, and that, though the malignant
forms have not appeared, they may at
any time break ont. Numbers are
dying daily in New York. New Haven,
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
a number of doctors say that they
have had thirty, forty and fifty cases
within the last six weeks, and are now
receiving from five to ten new cases
each day. There are four or five cases
in the county hospital. There have
been two deaths. those of DIR. Henry
Goslyn and DIR. Robert A. Bussewitz.
among the doctors themselves, though
the Health Department of the city de-
clare that its attention has not been
called to the prevalence OF the disease
and that no death from grip has been
reported to 1t.

Saws Military Rule In Cuba VIII Last Three
YearA.

New York. Dec. 24.-Admiral Samp-
son returned to-day from Havana. He
talked rather freely on conditions in
the island.
Reverting to the question OF the fu-
ture of Cuba. Admiral Sampson said:
THE wealthiest and most influential
people in Cuba want the island an
neNed to the United States, whether
as state or territory, they don't
much care. But there are many Gu
bans who think that they are able to
govern themselves. Cuba at present
certainly Is in no condition to govern
itself. The question of what shall be-
come of Cuba will not he settled for
year at least. and possibly not for
two or three years. In the meantime
the military government by the United
States will go on"
When General Greene and Chief Nc
Cullagh have established their police
force. he thinks there will he little dis
order. The admiral said the material
benefit from the reduction of the Gu
ban custom receipts could not be
judged at present, and remarked that
there had always been so much fraud in
connection with Cuban customs that II
was impossible To change everything
right away. In answer to the question.
do you think the people of the island
will prove amenable to the American
government" Admiral Sampson said
1T does not make any difference
whether they are or not. We are down
there and our government will go on
as long as 1t is necessary"
Regarding the suffering throughout
Cuba, which Mrs. Sampson has been
working TO alleviate, Admiral Samp-
son said:
The government Is issuing rations
regularly. but the reconcentrados are
now scattered. and there is the diff
Guilty. Many of them have died and
many more will die. They lack tools to
work their farms, and the only crop
they could raise now is sweet pota-
toes. 1t is too late to raise sugar."

sual activity in the railroad world"
said President j. c. Osgood of the Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company yester-
day.
The heavy orders given by the Santa
Fc, being for rails sufficient to lay L.
800 miles of track. are the result of the

road. In California. recently acquired
considerable portion of the road has

ARRESTED A REGIMENT.
Soldiers and Their Oniccrs Disciplined
for Having "a Dirty Camp.


for Having IL Dirty Camp.
Chicago, Dec. 23.--There was n great
sensation down at Augusta the other
day. says the Record, when General $.
NJ. ID. Young. In command there,
placed an entire regiment from Mary
land under arrest both officers and
men. for disobedicncc OF orders and
neglect of the sanitary regulations
which he had prescribed. When he in
spected their camp some weeks ago he
called the attention of the colonel and
several of the company commanders to
the disreputable appearance of their
street, the EMBELLISHMENTS of the
Kitchens and the lack of sanitary pre-
cautions al the sinks. The colonel eX-
planned that he had endeavored to keep
things in order. but the men would not
obey him. The next time General
Young rode through the camp he found
there was no improvement, and moral
suasion having failed he decided to try
what virtue there was In discipline. He
issued an order placing every man in
the regiment under arrest, from the
colonel down, ordered n provost guard
around the camp. and forbade any one
to leave il until II had been cleaned up
and placed in proper condition. If
such measures had been taken at
Chickamauga there would have been
less sickness.

Denver. Dec. pa special from
Washington. 10 the News. says:
The secretary of war has cabled
General Otis to send troops to seize
and occupy Iloilo. This action was
taken after II conference with the
President.
lloilo is the scene of the butcbery of
numbers of practically unarmed Flip
pnos by Spanish regulars. as told in
the Journals special cable to-day from
Madrid, which was printed in The
News.
The war department processes to
have no official confirmation of the
story. but the troops have been order
ed to proceed AT once to lloilo. where It
is known there has been bloody skir-
mishlns for the past three weeks.
Secretary Algcr declined to state
how many troops have been ordered to
20. There are four or more trans
ports at Manila. each capable of ear
rying at least 600 troops. 1t is the
understanding that the troops would
move at the first opportunity after the
receipt of the orders cabled this after
noon.
The transports can reach IIolo from
Manila i'll thiriy-siy hours. On the ar
rival of the Americans the Spaniards
are expected to surrender the post, as
was done ut Manila.
1t is believed that the outrnges re-
ported to-day unquestionably led to
this prompt action of the secretary of
war, as II was the intention of the
war department TO send no troops to
places other than Manila until after
the confirmation by the Senate of the
treaty of Paris. The occupation of
all the Philippine posts viii follow in
rapid succession. which occupation
alone can prevent n recurrence OF the
slaughter at Iloilo. 1t was thought
until today. that the policing OF the
.iarbors would have been sufficient un-
I'll the Islands would pass under the
treaty.

there is anything in this Mir Rice that deserves the double distinction?
 MT. John c. Rice has fluent legs and a fair command of dialect, but he Is not an attractive personality. There is in his manner and his voice something which sets pace fin the admiration of Rice that no one else can keep up with; and his very limberness suggests the epicene mister of the French ballet MT. Rice is not in tune with the healthy rest of the company. As fine a company, by the way, as ever was wantoned on a McNulty farce. John G. Sparks hasn't his usual much to do this time, but what there is of the Irishman he plays with a legitimacy and comic seriousness that are unap- proachable.

The Girl from Paris,'' which com mences an engagement of three weeks at the Baldwin tomorrow night, is one of the most popular musical attractions of the lighter order that has been pre- sented in years. It has a record of 1000 nights at the Duke of York S, London and another edition of it is now play ing at the Herald Square Theater, New York, where a run of 300 nights was recently completed. We are promised, as nearly as possible, the production which Edward E. Rice first gave New York. Of course all of the originals are not in the cast-several of them made such reputations that they are now 'out on their own"-but the present company is said to be compact and valuable in every particular. The pro- duction will be under the hand of Frank Smithson. whom MT Rice se- cured from London. and the dancing. which plays an important part in the performance, will be directed by H. Fletcher Rivers. a ballet master of rep utation. The elaborate scenic equip ment is the work of La Fayette w. Seavey, an artist who needs no intro duction.
 The piece itself is said to be almost real comic opera, with catchy music by Ivan Caryll and smartIy humorous book by George Dance The presenta tion requiresa cast of fifty Miss Mamie Gilroy, whose clever work in Hoyt's
