from the Chicago Chronicle
A clatter of horses hoofs on stones
People coming out of a theater on
washington street stood stock still, and
glanced quickly to see where the run
away was. The street cars were gliding
along as usual, and there were no
horses in sight in the street to make
the noise. Still the click-clack of hoofs
sounded in their ears. as if some iron
shod animal was doing a cake walk in
their very midst.
Back, keep back" cried policeman
The noise of the hoofs came nearer.
Then a horse stepped onto the sidewalk
from the long marble f1oored entrance
or another theater next door. A horse
drama is on there. The playhouse has
no stage door. The actors go in by the
same doors that receive the audience.
AND when horse was needed in the
play there was only one way to get 1t
behind the footlights. and that was by
the front door. The horse actor is TAX
en- in before lights and led out and
to its stable as soon as the theater is
empty after each performance.

AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
thousands of Cans of Meat Unfit for
Human Food.

Human Food.
Havana, Feb. Ex-Governor General
Brooke has received no information re-
sardfng the date when Gen. Maxine
Gomez will arrive in Havana. The
opinion is expressed in high official cir
cies that the special committee Of the
Cuban assembly agreed while in Wash
lngton to accept $3,0OO,O00 from the
United States for the payment of the
troops, provided General Gomez would
consent. Consequently the current
criticism of his action in the matter
would indicate that the commission
mere has not told the Cuban generals
of the obligations assumed at Wash
lngton. If this be true, the opposition
on the part of the generals amounts to
nothing. Senior Quesada is now tour
ing the provinces, making sneeches, in
which he advises the Cubans to have
full confidence in the intentions of the
United States and promote union
among themselves.
The board of meat survey. Of which
CAPT. William l.. Pitcher of the Sth in
fantry is president, found as the re-
suit of an inquiry this afternoon that
the contents of 10,S4S cans are unfit
for human food and have recommended
that the inspector condemn the meat.
Among the rations drawn for distribu-
ton to the destitute at La Punta relief
station are several hundred cans of
spoiled meat.
