A GROWING FAVORITE.
Clay Clements Audience Much Larg-
er in ''The New Dominion"

The audience that greeted Mr.. Clay
Clement at the Crawford theater Sat
urday night was much larger than the
audience which witnessed the first pro-
ductiOn of THE New Dominion in this
city last october. The increased attend
ance demonstrated that as Mr.. Clement
and Mr.. Clements ability become
known in Topeka he will be accorded
the recognition he deserves. Last Oc-
tober he was practically unknown here.
But his Baron HOhenstauffen" proved
to be such a delightful character and
his New Dominion proved to be such
a delightful piece, that theater goers
who appreciate ability are glad ITO see
him return. 1t is now safe to predict
as long as he gives the stage as inter-
esting character as 'Hohenstauffen"
each succeeding appearance will prove
him in greater favor.
The audience Saturday night grew
enthusiastic over the personality of the
German Baron, and twice called Mr.
Clement and his company before the
curtain. With two eXceptions-Miss An
ME FilbOurne as Mrs. Randolph and
Mr.. VIM. B. Mack as "Chas. McVeigh'
his support is the same as on his first
appearance here and while he secured a
better character in the former, Mr.
Mack's work does not compare with
that of his predecessor, Mr.. Carleton
Macy.
Mr.. Clements personal work was ex-
cellent, and he deserves great praise
for creating and portraying as he does,
the character of ''HOhenStauffen.

Spaniards in Cuba Have No Way to
Get Food.

New York, April ga special to the
Times from Washington says:
At about the hour that Captain Samp-
sons Key West squadron was making
its appearance off Havana to carry out
the plans of the administration for
blockading the principal ports of Cuba,
the president was issuing his proclama-
ton announcing that blockade and thus
shutting out from Captain General
BIanco and his forces the provisions
and reinforcementS upon which he must
depend to be able to maintain the fight
ing ability of his soldiers and to fill up
the ranks, thinned by disease and other
causes.
The blockading plan is but a step to-
yet to be unfOlded.
A glance at the map of Cuba, bearing
in mind the words of the proclamation
of the president, will show at once that
the blockade is contrived to Cypress
Blanco and afford the largest opportu-
nifty to Gomez and his insurgent bands,
to assemble in force and contribute
their part to the driving out of Spain's
forces. The ports on the north side OF
Cuba, from Cardenas on the east to
Bahia Honda on the west and Cienfue-
fos on the south are those by which
only Blanco can expect aid from the
sea. The middle section of the island
is that in which the Spanish forces have
been and are concentrated. All of the
far eastern provinces and the extreme
west of Cuba are substantially in the
hands of the insurgents or abandoned
sections will remain uncovered and aid
for the insurgents can be run into
them without molestation from the YES
sells of the United States.
The coast guard of Spain in Cuba is
made up of a few small vessels, the
power of the ships of war having been
withdrawn in order to carry out some
plan of operations at this time known
only to the Spanish naval officers. This
method of warfare will go on until the
United States land forces can be made
ready and the opportunity reached for
cooperating with the fleet.
Time would be lost that can now be
employed to advantage if the volun-
teers that are to be called into the ser
vice should first be required to be fully
organized before the blockade was es-
tabliShed.
1t is known to our consu1s and others
that almost absolute dependence has
been placed for supplies of meat and
other provisions for the army of Spain
upon fareign markets. The stocks on
hand are low and will be speedily eX-
hausted. The spirit of the army will
be lost as soon as starvation is added to
failure to pay. When weakness is adj
ded to illness and dissatisfaction the
fresh troops of the United States will
be very unequal match for troops
poorly disciplined and worse fed even in
the most prosperous times.

sEDALIA DEPOT BURNED.
M K q 7. Sustains Loss of$4O,OOO
Many Valuable Records De-
StrOVed.

Sedalia, April 25.-The NJ, K. & It.
railway on East Third street was de-
stroyed by fire at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning.
The depot building, which was con-
structed of Warfensburg stone, pressed
brick and polished granite, was the
finest one of the entire system. 1t cost
upwards Of $4,000 and was completed
a year ago. The fire started in the
kitchen off the dining room and spread
so rapidly that the furniture in the gen.
eral offices on the second floor could not
be saved, and many valuable records
were destroyed.
All of the tickets and books in the
office were saved. The loss is fully $40,-
900, while the insurance, which is in
blanket form, cannot now be estimated.

SANTA FE GENEROUS.
Will Hold Places for Employees Who
Go to Fight Spaniards.

The Santa Fe Railway company will
hold open jobs for all of its employees
who enlist in the war. An order to this
effect has been agreed upon and will be
issued at once.
A vast number of Santa Fe en-
ployes are anxious to join the army,
but have been holding back for fear
that when the war is over they will
have no employment. Many of them
are men of families and the sacrifice
of salary during the war is about all
they can afford. The Santa Fe pro-
poses to do the generous thing how
ever, by putting them back to work in
their old places when they leave the
army. 1t is predicted that other big
railway systems will follow suit.

fort { /, Hit SIMPSONS Ships.

On Board the New York, Off Havana,
April 25.-During the early morning the
Moro castle batteries again opened
fire on the fleet, but without the slight
est effect.
There have been no casualties among
our forces and not a single shot has
been fired against the batteries.
The Detroit made rich haul, captur-
ing the Spanish merchant steamer Ca
talina, bound from New Orleans for
Cadiz with cotton oil and slaves. She
carried a large quantity of provisions,
which she intended to land in Havana.
Ensign ChriSty, from the Detroit; Ma
val Cadet Jones, from the New York,
and four marines and six bluejacketS
were put on board of her and she
steamed off for Key West.
The Wilmington and Porter, when
dawn broke, were both seen towing
prizes in the shape of small schooners.
The Wilmington'S capture was laden
with charcoal, and the Porter'S, the So
phia, had rum and sugar aboard. They
were both lowed to Key West.
The torpedo boat Porter, commanded
by Lieutenant Fremont, is doing great
work, and if she keeps on at this rate,
her crew will have no end of prize mon
ey to divide
the. Detro1tS capture or the Catalina
was effected while none other of the
Spaniard is the Detroit'S exclusive prize
and her crew gets all the prize money.
MORO Castle and the city of Havana
can be seen plainly through glasses.
Torpedo boat Gushing, which arrived
from Key West, has returned.

ALL AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Additions of Regulars to Be Concen.
trated There.


Chattanooga, Tenn, April 25.-Arriv-
al of troops at Chickamauga National
Park, both those originally destin-
ed there and those which have been di-
verted from their gulf destinations, are
expected to be heavy for the next day
or so.
The number of soldiers originally or
dered to Chickamauga has not arrived
by one half. 1t is quite probable that
nearly or quite $4,000 troops of the reg
ular service will be encamped at Chick
amauga by Wednesday or Thursday.
1t is estimated that the passage of the
army reorganization bill, providing for
an increase in the standing army to g.
OOO will result in at least $4,000 troops
being concentrated here. The Chicka-
manga battlefield is an ideal point for
drilling purposes, according to the gen
eraI opinion of army officers here.
and it is quite probable that this point
will be the rendezvous for nearly the
entire augmented force of the regular
army.
Capt D. Macarthur of Washington, D.
c., who has been appointed assistant
quartermaSter under Col. Lee, has ar
rived and established his headquarters
at Battlefield station. The Tenth cav
airy (colored) from Forts ASSinaboin
and Keogh, Mont, $50 men, in COM
mand of Col. Guy Henry, with Captains
Hunt, Reed, Woodward and Jones, ar
rived today.
The trains were sent out to the park
without much delay and unloaded.
This is the third regiment of colored
cavalry to arrive at Chickamauga.

BANK RATES UP

the Bank of England, in order to in

The stock exchange is most nervous,

offers to sell, with depressing results.
Spanish stock has been thrown on the
market not only by Paris, but by the
Bank of Spain. A calmer feeling sup
ervened on Friday. The bears began re-
buying, which lead to sharp recoveries,
though there are sensible declines in
most departments, including first-class
stocks. The Southwestern suffered Sc
verely among the English railroads ow-

DOSTER ON DEBT.
Chief Justice Doster Makes Speech
to the Social Democracy.


Chief Justice Doster of the supreme
court addressed the meeting of the So
cial Democracy yesterday afternoon on
the financial question in general and
on debt in particular. In part he
said:
More of the modern Industrial op-
preston is due to a failure to cOnfine
money to the object for which it is is
sued than to all other causes" he con-
tinued. 81 am speaking TO a people
who have thought more on this and
kindred subjects than any other class
of the question that I think is little
touched upon.
IF money is a medium of exchange
and a medium of exchange only, then
the man who, for selfish purposes with
holds any of this medium of exchange
The failure of society to recognize this
has resulted in more of what we call
the financial troubles than anything
else L hold that no man has the right
to withhold money from circulation to
loan it. L believe until we arise to the
enOrmity of that institution of modern
society called debt we will never settle
the money or any other commercial
question.
1T is the most universal. most per
suasive system of servitude that the
world has ever known. 1t seems to
have never occurred to us to rise
against the claimed right of the banker
and usurer to divert the medium of ex-
change from its proper use Rarely
has any one openly said that money
has no proper power to increase. AS
early as possible this truth must be in
sisted upon:-that man must be eman-
cipated from this principle of debt. that
man must even be prohibited from en-
tering upon this immoral obligation.
The institution of debt must and will
some day be abolished

Barcelona, via Havana, the latter port
for which she was making when taken.
The Catalina was captured about II
miles from Havana. She was taken by

chase was prolonged for eight miles.
Finally a solid shot brought her to. She
