WOOD A MAJOR GENERAL
Appointment Jumps Him
Over Head of Many
Officers.

Washington, Dec. 6.-According to the
officials of the war department, the
promotion of Gen. Wood to the grade
of major general of volunteers, is not
likely to cause any immediate change
in his present station and duties as
commander of the military provinces
of Santiago and Puerto Principe.
Gen. Wood had an interview with
Secretary Root today, and at it's con-
clusion, said that he expected to re-
turn to Santiago in a few days, but
that it was possible he might be al
lowed to spend the Christmas holidays
in this city. AS major general of vol
unteers, Gen. Wood will be the second
ranking officer in Cuba, his military
superior being Major Gen. Brooke, com
manding the division, who is major
general in the regular establishment.
Gen. Woods advancement gives him
rank above Generals Wilson, Lee,
Wheeler, Bates, Young, Chaffee and
Ludlow, all of whom were senior to
him in the volunteer army. Although
all the officers named were major gen
erals of volunteers during the Spanish
war, hey at present hold only the rank
of brigadier general.
Counting Gen. Wood, there are now
eight major generals in the army, in
Guiding Gems. Miles, Merritt and
Brooke, of the regular army. The
other volunteer major generals are
Shafter, Otis, Lawton and Macarthur.
Gen. Woods appointment is made un-
der authority of the statute allowing
an officer of that rank for every 10000
men in active military service. Includ-
ing the $4,000 volunteers recently enlist
ed for service in the Philippines, the
present strength of the army is, in
round numbers. 100000 men.

WORCESTER THEATRE.
GiIlette's because She Loved Him
So" Presented to a Full House.

GiIlette's because She Loved Him
So" Presented to a Full House.
Plays like William Gillette's little
farce, Because She Loved Him &c." at
the Worcester theatre, last night, are
the kind Worcester theatregoers like to
see. and as a proof of this the house
last night was full, there being no va
cant seats anywhere. This play is writ
ten in Mr.. Gillette's happiest vein and
abounds in just those features which
made 1.-THE Private Secretary such a
success when it was played with the
author in the title role. 1t abounds in
laughable situations and the complica-
tions resulting from the attempts on the
part of the old people to right their
childrens quarrel, and on the part of
the children to reconcile the parents,
could come from no other pen than Mr..
Gillette's.
The plot of the story is rather in
volved. 1t deals with young married
couple whose life is not 'all beer and
skittles'' on account of the wife's jeal-
Gus disposition. She is continually sus-
pecting her husband, whom she loves
dearly, of being untrue to her. Her
suspicious are justified through the
work of the maid, who, in order to get
an evening out, puts two hairs and
some new mown hay on her hus-
bands coat. The wife finds them and
speaks of separation and divorce, and
nies to her parents for sympathy, the
Ezeband following The old couple learn
OF the quarrel before the angry pair ar
rive and resolve to teach a lesson by
pretending themselves to be angry. 1t
is all right for while, but finally they
really do quarrel in earnest, and then
the young couple do their best to recon-
cile the parents. All is explained at the
end and the wife explains that she has
been so jealous because she loves him
so.
Miss Annie Irish as Gertrude West
the jealous wife, is perfection itself in
this role. Her mannerisms, the delicate
changes of expression, her gestures,
make one forget it is art and think it
is nature. She has a delightful stage
presence and is beautiful woman
withal. j. Z. Dodson, in the role of John
Weatherby, the father, reminds one of
William Gillette himself, in his little
gestures and his care of details which
count so much in play of this kind
In the second act, when he and Mrs
Weatherby talk over old times, they
make together a pretty picture Of
peaceful home life that is inimitable
Miss Kate Meek plays the role of Mrs
Weatherby in a manner suited to. Mr.
Dodson's work, and makes a charming
old lady. Miss Maggie Fielding as Mar
guerite, the Weatherby servant, also
carries out her part in a manner worthy
of mention, and her brogue is broad
enough to walk upon. The company on
a whole is well balanced, and there does
not seem to be weak spot in the cast
or in the staging.

NEWS DISTRUSTED.

Not Believed That Aguinaldo Would
Surrender to Wildman.
Washington, Dec. 6-Relative to the
rumor from Hong Kong that Aguinaldo
is willing to surrender to United States
Consul Wildman at Manila, it is
learned that though the consul him
self has cherished that belief for some
months past, the government here has
been without any assurance of his con-
viction.
Mr.. Wildman is not the only repre-
sentative of the United States in the
far east who has expressed confidence
in his ability to persuade Aguinaldo to
cease hostilities, but for some reason
the administration has always been
skeptical. This report from Hong
Kong is believed to be nothing more
than a revival of some of the old
rumOrs.
