Az IMPORTANT CUBAN REFORM.

Rrigadier General William Ludlow, the MIL
tary Governor Of Havana. has recently issued
an order admirably calculated 10 soften the
friction still traceahle in Cuba to American
military rule This order directs all officers
stationed in the Department of Havana 10 ac-
ouire. as soon as practicable. a fluent and ac-
curato use Of the Spanish language "Facility

thereafter constitute an important addition 10

termine this efficiency and establish an official
rating based upon it. he has authorized the
holding Of a general department examination

in Cuba is intrusted shall familiarze them

ment and In dsspating certain approximations

ably be found 10 have promoted as much as
any other single act Of the military power the

American administrators have labored Cuban

ATTIlL DEPENDENCE or INDUSTRIES
The tariff has now three sets Of assailan's
together constituting. it Is confidently believed
q small minority of the American people. one
maintains that il never accOmpli shed anything
and i'm tho nature of things never could An
other insist, that IL has done its work so
completely that industries have been lifted far

broken down in order 10 destroy mOnopolieS
which have grown up behind its defence These
people should learn from the men who We're
warned 10 hang together or else they would
hang separately They all ignore wholly the
power OF industries To help or hurt each other
For those who are willing TO learn this mutual
dependence of industries has been more Won
derfuly Illustrated within the last few years
than over before.

created hy the duty imposed in 1890 not even

1921 72O boxes. and as about $50 pounds Of
pig iron IS used or lost in making up each box
il would take about SS9.62l tons of pig iron to
keep all these concerns fully employed. Not one

THE DRAMA.
DALY'S THEATRE.

Mr. Daniel Frohman. the new manager OF Days
Theatre. opened that home last night, with a
vival of Mr.. Henry Hamitons play Of The Kings
Nusketeer." In which Mr. +. II. Sothern mper
sonates D'Artagnan. and Mrs. Sothern Virginia
Harned) appears as the wicked Countess. Mr..
Iamiltons play presented in this city last
season and It requires no particular description
now Ia far inferior. alike in construction and
style to the drama by Sidney Grundy. on the same
subject. which was acted here at about the same
time but It contains some of the same old Dumas
material, and its tissue OF romantic nonsense Is
diversified with several effective situations one
OF these is the climax of its second act, at which
D'Artagnan suddenly dscoses himself to eXonerate
the suspected Queen Of France. and 70 dlscomht
the Cardinal Richeieu This was greeted with cord
lal paudits and so was Mr.. Sothern's tumultuous
delivery OF D'Artagnan's abundant speech descrp-
tive OF the ride from Paris to the sea. Mr.
Sothern's impersonation OF DArtagnan is ami
mated rather than imprisoned and picturesque
rather than romantic, and IT again pleased by its
earnestness Of spirit its vlgor OF action and its
volublty Of utterance The piece was set with
care and taste and all its effects were sharply
made Miss Harmed. assuming the monstrous
criminal Clarlce. gave the impression OF sweet
kindly. chd-ike person trying very hard to seem
wicked. but never being In earnest The best
acting OF the night was that by Miss Irene Rookie
as Gabrielle and MI Norman Parr as FELTON,
Miss Rookie has viyaci,y and grace. and several
times even IN circumstances almost openly lu-
dicrous. she created Illusion of real feeling Mr.
Sothern's re-entrance gives pleasure to his admir-
ors, and It is recorded one OF the pleasant in
cidents ~ a fruitful dramatic season. An anus
ing representation OF Louis XIII. King OF France
hy Mr. Morton Selten added much 70 the Joyous
character OF this occasion.
