LATEST FROM HAVANA.
Gen. Lee Reports mo Disorder OF Any
Sort" There.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-The latest ad-
vices received here from Havana is a
cablegram from Consul-General Lee.
dated $50 Tuesday evening. lie said:
Have just received visit from the
commander of the Maine. and will re-
turn ii tomorrow. He had already re-
turned official visits OF Spanish and
other naval vessels. No disorder of
any sort"
The officials here are pleased at the
success attending their movement in
dispatching the Maine to Havana. and
at the reception accorded the ship at
that port. The report that British and
French warships are to join the Amer
lean and German warships in Ha-
vana are regarded here as high
ly favorable, although no Of
fetal notice of such intentions on tn e
part of the British and French govern
nents has been received. The presence
of vessels of these Dationalities along
side of the United States warship will
go far, it is believed, to convince the
people of Havana and Madrid that
there is no sinister purpose in
the Names arrival, while it will
make it exceedingly difficult for the
Spanish government to find any rea-
sonable ground for complaint against
the United States government without
laying itself open TO the charge of dis
elimination, since the same objection
must lie against the presence of the
warships of any or all nations.

Without any preliminary business
the house went into committee of the
whole and resumed consideration of
the Indian appropriation bill. The
pending amendment was that to strike
out the appropriation for the Carlisle
Indian school
Mr.. Sherman rep, n. ", in charge
of the bill, defended the work OF the
Carlisle school. which. he said, was the
greatest industrial school in the coun-
try. rything was taught there
which was necessary to make the In
dian self-supporting citizen any
where in the world. His observation
was that the best Indian schools were
those which were not on the reserva-
tions- He said the Carlisle football
eleven had placed 1000 in the treas
ury OF that college during the past sea-
son.

ENTERTIFNaT ENTS.
Hyperion Theater. ROSTER & BIAL'S BIG SHOW CON-


 ING.
 G. B. Bunnell returned from New York last night and was in a very happy frame of mind, for he had in his pocket the signed contract for the appearance of Roster & Biaps immense production, Cooks Tour at the Fly perion on Friday and Saturday even- ings, with special matinee on Satur- day. The fact that there are about one hundred and twenty-five persons in the cast, taken in connection with the statement that the piece calls for nine elaborate tableaux, is suggestive of it's scope and possibilities. The in- dications are that the corporation which controls the Thirty-fourth street music hall has not since it's inception undertaken a presentation of so expen- sive and extensive nature as the one in question.
 The burlesque, or to speak more cor rectly, musical comedy, is entitled Cooks Tour" The suggestive nature of the name is sufficient to forecast both the plot and business of the piece The adventures which the travellers meet furnish the general story of the production, while the costumes and scenery of the several nations yield all that is necessary in the way of pictur- esque effects. The book is by Joe Her bert while the music is written by Max Gabriel, the conductor of the orchestra of the music hall. It is said that the collaboration of these two gentlemen has been as effective as it is satisfac- tory.
 The cast is a distinctly strong one It vindicates it's claim that it is of the 'All Starr type. In proof whereof here are some of the artists who are. to play principal parts: Misses Adele Ritchie, Josephine 'Hall Georgia Caine Ada Lewis, Allie Gilbert, Daisy Dixon, Helen Marlborough, May Lavine, Ma bel Montgomery, Beatrice Hamilton, Messrs Eddie Girard, Joe Ott, Jack Slavin, Max Freeman, Jacques Kruger and many others The chorus consists of over one hundred voices. The young women of the chorus are, by the way of remarkably fetching order.
 Manager Aarons believes that he has secured a winner in the Tour"
 The advance sale of seats will open on Thursday morning. Prices 25c, soc, 75c and $1. Attention is called to the special matinee prices, which will be 25c and soc only.

north of Cape Henry in danger of Spanish spoliation by the Cadiz fleet while the whole available navy is em- ployed in the East and West Indies?
 He replied: To my mind there is great danger as the Cadiz fleet might sail for Porto Rico and instead pro- ceed to the banks of Newfoundland and destroy our fishing fleet and after wards replenish tteir empty coal bunk CTS from American vessels from Pictou and Sydney in the Gulf of. St, Lawrence and proceed along our coast as far as New Jersey and lay under contribution or Lombard our seacoast towns before sufficient force could be collected to stop depreciation.
 He was also asked: What motive would Spain have for sending a fleet to the Banks and the New England coast? and replied, to draw a portion of the United States fleet from attack on Porto Rico and Cuba.
 Where are the New England fishing vessels located at this season of the year? All over the Banks, and I have counted away down on the southeast tail of the Grand Banks seventeen sail boats at anchor at one time. There never was a coast with such a vast value as ours in such an unprotected state. Block Island has not even a signal gun and our Notifications which are in course of construction on the islands at the east entrance of Long Island Sound have at this moment no adequate protection, even for the work men there or for the troops which are to be sent there.
 I wish to say just now that at my late interview with Admiral Erben in regard to ship for protection he has manifested the greatest interest in this matter and is making every effort in his power; and now congress has voted money for this object. I know all will be done that can be by this most efIl- cient and able officer.

A MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
Last Nights Alarm Caused by Burning
 Coal Oil.

Coal Oil.
 At 8 o'clock last night an alarm from box 21, corner of Chapel and Orange streets, called several companies of the fire department to the cellar under the storeroom formerly occupied by M. F. Bristol, the shoe dealer, at S54 Chapel street.
 For several days past gang of men have been at work in the cellar making excavations for the purpose of replac- ing a broken sewer pipe. To carry on this work it is necessary to use lan- terms in which coal oil is burned A large can of coal oil for the purpose of supplying these lanterns was taken into the cellar yesterday afternoon. This can leaked and the oil ran over the floor.
 Last night several plumbers were at work in the room, when all of a sudden, as they say, a portion of the floor was ablaze. Their cries of fire attracted the attention of Patrolman Stevens, whow near by, and he, with the assistance of the men, managed to smother the flames with sand. Some one in the meantime had keyed in an alarm and the department quickly responded, but their services were not needed.
 How the fire originated is a mystery, but it is not improbable that one of the workmen' lighted a pipe or lantern and threw the burning match onto that part of the floor which was covered with oil The damage was very slight.

poli,s Wonderland The.ter.

Manager Poli is catching the bicy- clists these days and nights with his big rack at the rear of the Wonder land lobby where the wheels are check ed and carefully guarded while the owners are seeing the show. It is sur prising how many bikers wheel in to see the show, and the result is that the bike-check boy is kept busy.
 The people are going on foot also to the Wonderland, for the house has a filling attendance at every show. The attractions are excellent, leading of with the feature act given by Mile Fleurette and the Four FIeur de Lis This pretty melange of melody and mirth has caught the town with close grip.
 In the olio are Carr and Jordan Smith and Cook the Melrose brothers Dolan and Lenharr, the Gleasons, Em- erson and Omeaga, the Grimes and De Ruize and Granville.

INTRODUCED TO MYSTERIES.
Men Chosen for Senior Societies hi
 tiated Last Night.

Men Chosen for Senior Societies Ini-
 tiated Last Night.
 The men recently elected to the three senior societies, Skull and Bones, Scroll and Keys and Wolf's Head, were last night admitted within the walls of the solemn society houses and introduced to the many mysteries which many would be glad to learn. At 6:45 the first man elected to Bones walked up to the door of the society house on High street, and gave three taps on the door. The door suddenly opened and two large hands thrust through the opening. The candidate was grabbed and rather unceremoniously dragged inside the door. It was possible to see several other hands grab the man and drag him in, but that is all. What happened thereafter is as much a mys- tery as ever. The remaining fourteen men followed at intervals of three min utes and were recipients of the same treatment.
 The men chosen for Reyes and Wolf's Head were initiated into the re- spectiye societies at later hour.

Grand Opera House. PINK DOMINOS."

Pink Dominos,' presented at the Grand opera house by the summer stock company, has made an undoubted success. Its bright lines and quick &C., ton have, with good acting, made fa- vorites of the entire company and there is no doubt, should the succeeding play catch the people as Pink Dominos' has, that the Grand opera house will have it's own regular company for the theater-goers for several weeks to come and that the players will make them selves highly popular with the New Haven public.
 There will be a matinee to-day at 2:3O and one on Saturday. Prices lO cents and 20 cents.

from time to time be made to it, is at the present time in a healthy condition and amounts at this date to 34,6S6.4, of which amount 1000 is invested in first class interest bearing securities and the balance of $3,6S6.74 is on de- posit with the treasurer of the city in the Merchants National bank of this city. The total amount added to the fund during the year from May i, 1897, to May 1, 1898, is $4,6S5.71, of which $3,- 362.36 was received from license fees from the county commissioners, $l9 from fines of members of the depart ment, $25071 from seizure of illegal li- quors, and $1,05364 from interest on securities, bonds, rewards, etc. The total amount paid to the men on the retired list during the year amounts to $5, ,5e0, ,000.
 The members of the department have made 6,S3l arrests during the year, in- cluding all grades of crime and mis- demeanors. Some of the more import ant of these are: Murder, 9; man. slaughter, g. abuse of female child, 9; adultery, 8; arson, 8; assault with in tent to kill, 10; bribery, 4; burglary, S9; GlHDelZltlIlelll, tAs ldlSS pISteliSSS, Ao, forgery, 5; gambling, 75; keeping, re- siding in or frequenting houses of i'll fame, Il; mayhem, 1; policy shop keep ing and playing, 61; theft, 364; theft from the person, Ii; selling liquor on Sunday, or without a lincense, etc., POI. As usual drunkenness leads the list with 3,195 arrests for that offense, fol- lowed by breaches of the peace with 1,O30.
 Through the department 334 lost chill dren have been restored to friends, 1885 buildings found open have been secured, lost or stolen property to the value of $31159.49 has been recovered and returned, and 77 horses have been returned to owners.
 Superintendent Wrinn in his report calls attention to the fact that the de- partment has lost four patrolmen by dismissal during the year, May 1, 1884, to May 1, 1898, and expresses the hope that the places will be filled in the near future as he says the present number of patrolmen is wholly inadequate to perform the duties required of the po- lice by citizens. The report states that the department has shown a decided improvement in it's efficiency during the year and the superintendent states that he is determined that the department shall continue the good work as long as he remains superintendent of the de- partment.
 The superintendent refers to the death of Detective John F. Spang and says that he was always ready and willingito perform any duty required of him by his superiors in an intelli- gent and agreeable manner. Captain Cowles of the detective bu- reau in his report states that 636 arrests have been made by the detectives dur ing the year.

LETTERS FAMOUS WHEAT DEAL

LETTERS FAMOUS WHEAT DEAL.
 Chicago, May 31.-Leiter's famous wheat deal was formally closed to-day. The last moments were lively, and Jo- seph Letter, to all appearances, was master of the situation As if to en- phasize his command of the market, Letter sent May wheat down from 175 to 125. This move was plainly for the purpose of evading the big receipts and to circumvent the "tailers' who want ed to ring in' a lot of wheat on Letter at fancy prices. Letter fooled them by putting the price down. Nevertheless, he had to take on board another 500,0 bushels to-day in addition to the pile of five or six million bushels which he still has on his hands. All attempts to place Letter, so far as his profits and losses are concerned at the continuation of this gigantic deal are widely at va riance. Some claim that he will pocket a profit of $4,0O0,000, while others insist that he will be fortunate if he comes out whole on the deal.
