READY TO PAY THE S2O,OO0,O00.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT GIVES NOTICE
TO SPAIN THROUGH THE FRENCH
EMBASSY.

Washington April 15.-Through the French
Embassy the Department of State has informed
the Spanish Government that 1t stands ready
to pay at any time the $2OO0OOOO named In
the Treaty of Peace the sum to be paid on
account OF the cesson of the Philippines. The
Spanish Government has been told that the
payment will be made in United States gold coin
or in gold bars at its option, and the only condi-
ton attached is that the payment shall be made
at NewYork. 1t has been suggested that. owing
to this last requirement the Spanish Govern
ment might incur considerable loss through
the payment Of the commission necessary to
transfer so large a sum of money across the
Atlantic. 1t is pointed out at the state Depart
ment however that the United States Govern
ment offers to pay the $20,000.0O0 three mouths
in advance of the time allowed by the treaty,
and that the interest for that time would mdcn
more than pay the commission on the movement

GREAT SUCCESS ACHIEVED BY THE FAMOUS ENG
LIsH ACTOR IN sARDoUs NEW PLAY
fBY CABLE To THE TRIBUNE.l
London April 10.-The Lyceum Theatre was
the scene of unexampled enthusiasm this even
ing. All that was best in the London world Of
letters, art and society there to welcome
Irving. If Sardou's drama was French in form
and movement. the spirit Of the greeting which
the famous actor received was English in hearth
ness and affectionate warmth. The audience.
which crowded the theatre from pit to dome,
could hardly wait for Robespierres appearance,
and when at last he was seen the galleries lit
orally rose to meet him. and there was a con-
tinuous roar of applause. lasting fully five min
utes. These demonstrations of affection and adj
miration were repeated at the close Of every
act and enthusiasm was unrestrained when he
called before the curtain at the end of the
play Not Irving himself ever received so
warm welcome before.
Sardous play. written for Irving. proved to be
at once a splendid spectacle and historic
study OF great dramatic force and pathos.
over seventy characters were named in the
programme, and The stage filled with hun
dreds of figures in the two great scenes repre-
senting the national fete at the Place de la
Revolution and Robespierre's overthrow In the
Convention The stage setting has never been
excelled at the Lyceum, and more picturesque
and dramatic mobs have not been seen out of
Paris. The great scene for Irving was In
the fourth act. when he confronted In the
darkened hall Of the prison in the conciergerie
with the ghosts OF the victims Of the Reign OF
Terror, but throughout the play he had full
range for a varied display of all the resources
Of stagecraft
Ellen Terry also had good part, and acted
with spirit and sensibility. The closing scene In
the hall of the Convention was a triumph or
stage management. 1t was the spectacle OF
great mob of Deputies hunting down Robes
pierre like a pack Of yelping hounds While ne
was like stag at bay Equally dramatic act
ing by great swarm of stage figures has never
been witnessed in London. 1t was wonderfully
realistic picture of Carlyles Convention swayed
by all the evil passions Of revolutionary mad
ness Irving's return to the stage In this play
is in every sense the artistic triumph which his
admirers have demanded with one consent.

Sir: 1t is encouraging to notice the steady in
crease in the interest taken by the public In street

plications for circulars and information on the
subject were received at the office Of the Tree
Planting Association OF New-York City-a larger
number than In any former month.
For a year or physicians have had their
attention drawn to the hygienic value Of trees and
have In many instances used their influence as in
dividuas to promote the planting OF street trees.
but It is only recently that they have taken official
action on the subject At a recent meeting Of the
New-York County Medical Society favorable action
was taken and tree-lovers may hereafter expect
the full weight Of their influence their resolution

for mitigating the intense heat of the summer
months and diminishing the death rate among
children is the cultivation OF an adequate number
OF trees in the streets"
Trees In our residential streets and avenues would
add greatly to the adornment OF our city and the
comfort OF the people, but. except as an object
lesson. those are not the most important parts OF
our city in which TO begin the reform. The into-
cradle heat OF our crowded tenement-house dis

OF trees In these sections, and the work should

Smith. president OF the New-York County Medical
