Editors Arnauto and Cervantes, of "El
Reconcentrado," the Havana newspaper
suppressed by order of General Ludlow,
are still in the city. Yesterday they re-
ceived information alleging that Captain of
Police Marcano, who has been in charge
OF the newspaper property, had forced Au-
relic Ramos, the managing editor of the
paper, TO take possession, and also to break
the contract with the publishers of the pa
per, who employed Arnauto and Csrvantes,
thus depriving them of their position in the
event that the War Department rescinds
General Ludlow's order III -
The correspondent Of the Cuban editors
stated in his letter that Captain Marcano
was much excited over the comment caused
oy General Ludlow's act in suppressing "El
Reconcentrado," and was anxious to he re-
lieved of any responsibility that might be
attached to his action. The reason Man
aging Editor Ramos was not arrested at
the time the other employees of the paper
were is said to be because he kept himself
in liding until the affair had somwhat
blown over.
The correspondent further stated that
considerable damage had been done the
material; that the money in the CASH
drawer in the business Office had disappear
ed; that the files of the paper had been
mutilated, and the type pied.
The cartoons in the pap-r more than any
thing else, the correspondent stated, had
angered Generals Brooke and Ludlow, as
they were the subjects of the artists ridi-
cule. The cartoons which were shown to a
Times reporter last night seemed to be
in keeping with the political pictures print
ed by the press of the United States and
were in no sense indecent. 1t is true they
we e 81 / al, but he Cubans po n GU tina;
they are not half as severe as certain car
toons that have been printed in this coun-
try against the Administration
Today copies of lei Reconeentraio"
were received by the editors which they
will present TO the Secretary of War to
| refute the charge that their paper was
| obscene, the ground alleged by General
Ludlow for the order suppressing the pa
| per.
The cartoons shown by the Cuban edi-
| tors are really clever. They give fair
idea of Spanish humor which to an Ameri-
| can is a little raw, but to the Spanish
mind is considered very delicate. Gen
| erals Brooke and Ludlow were not han
died with the severity meted ont 10 the
| officials appointed by them. The Cubans
who were appointed to office by General
Brooke are severely lampooned by lei
| Reconcentrado's" artists, and the cartoon
are calculated to set on fire the warm
| blood of the Cuban officials.
| 1t is not unlikely. ii is said, that suit
| for damages will be instituted by Arnauto
and Cervantes against the United States.

waIIace,s Equestriennes.

One of the greatest difficulties that the mana
gers of the great modern eircuses have to con-
tend with is the dearh of acrobatic equestriennes
Not one girl out of thousand who essays the
art ever achieves success and not one out of a
hundred of those who succeed ever attain emf
nence. In all the world there is probably not
than half a dozen who are considered truly
great. At the head of this little coterie of eel
ebrites stands beautiful Blanche Reed, this sea.
under engagement to The Great Wallace
Shows
In point of poise, grace, dash, and daring
agility her riding simply defes all description.
Nothing she does looks difficult nor appears in
deed to require effort. She is secure and as
much at home in her unstable position on the
heaving, bounding back of galoping horse as
is a society belle ball room floor.
Her routine repertoire of feats and evolu-
tions is so varied that she can completely change
her act at every performance for DAYS at a
time. In all she does there is naught that
that is commonplace. She scorns the ordi.
nary and abhors the conventional In the
0efhacular she begins where the Others leave
off, and ends in unapproachable achievement
of acrobatc agility that is at once paradoxically
unattanable and past belief unless seen with
ones own eyes.
She is with The Great Wallace Shows at Wash.
