The Village Postmaster.

The Village Postmaster with its
original cast and big production, ex-
actly as it was played in the 14th
Street Theatre, New York, for log
nights, Will be the attraction at the
Providence Opera House for the week
beginning Feb. 9Th.
The New York Sun says: The VIII
lage Postmaster is a play like Blue
Jeans and the Old Homestead. No play
of this kind has met with such positive
success, crowds were turned away from
the 1ith Street Theatre at every per-
formance. and the play could have run
all the season there If the existing
contract with Chauncey Olcott did not
interfere. The scenes of the Village
Postmaster are laid i'm the country
towns OF New York way back in 1852,
and the most scrupulous fidelity TO the
period has been shown.
The New York Herald said: New
York has never seen a better drama OF
rural life. j. Wesley Rosenquest, un-
der whose management the play is pro-
duced, has given TO il an air Of quaint
ness and a touch of rural simplicity
that will commend il To the Providence
theatre goers. The play is full of heart
interest and human nature, with, Of
course. a pretty love story well told.
The title role OF Seth Higgins. the
Village Postmaster and political boss, is
i'm the hands of Mr.. Frank Mordaunt,
one OF the best character actors I'm the
country. and the company is composed
of metropolitan favorites. The sale of
seats commences tomorrow morning.

NOT A COURT OF APPEAL.

Boston. Feb. 2.-GoVernor Wolcott
answered yesterday morning the letter
OF the Whitman strikers in which they
wished TO appeal from the decision of
the state board of arbitration. The
governor merely said that ne could not
constitute himself court OF appeal from
decisions of the state board, and had not
done so in previous cases. He referred
the letter to that body for such action as
II thought necessary.
The attorney general gave his answer

Gas and Coke company did rot make the

upon one point all agree--American
officers and Cubans-and that 1t that
outside of the cities the country is in n
condition of want and misery that can
hardly be explained. As an aggrava-
tion OF that condition stands the Cuban
army. composed of at least 10000 idle
men. waiting. with arms in their hands.
for such a settlement of their dues as
will enable them 10 resume life again.
when | asked those who had a right
10 speak for the army what sum would
suffice for satisfactory settlement. they
said $lO0000OO or $li.000000 at least, a
sum that would give about $500 to each
man. With that. they said. the small
farmers could procure stock and live
until they could make a crop.
THE Cubans neither ask nor desire us
TO contribute penny for the payment
of their army All they ask is that q
loan should be made for the purpose
charged upon their customs houses. now

ties. Every class there is demanding
that n settlement be made at once. SO
that a menacinS body OF idle men may
be converted into peaceful producers.
In that way the industries Of the country
could be revived, and the force dis
solved. like the army of Cromwell
which is not only military party. but
the predominant party in the island.
Il cannot doubt that if the just claims
OF the cuban army are treated with in
justice and contempt, and the present
military regime continues indefinitely
in a short while We would be hated by
the Cubans just as the Spaniard were
and a condition OF things brought about
that will force us either to withdraw
from the island or 10 govern there just
as Russia does in Poland. Wise and
humane as our military governors are.
the fact remains that they govern by
the sword. and i'm defiance Of the civil
power. and the result Is that impatience
and discomfort are already clearly man
irestcd on every hand. The urgent need
i'm Cuba now is "a prompt and Stats
factory settlement with the army of the
revolution, and the establishment as
soon as possible OF provisional civil
regime i'm which the Cubans themselves
can have a voice.
"The president should labor unceas-
ingly to attain both ends. and I'm the
effort to do so should have the cordial
cooperation and support OF all patriotic
and liberty loving men. regardless of
party.
"We should learn from the English
how suicidal il Is 10 carry our party ditIl-
culties into our foreign affairs The
patriotic instinct of Mr. Bryan hit the
mark when he urged the immediate rati-
iication OF the pending treaty, and the
settlement OF all difficulties afterwards.
The senate should end at once the
present situation. so detrimental 10 all
our foreign rcls ions. while congress. as
n whole. should give 20 tho president
every facility necessary TO enable him 20
settle every foreign question now de-
nandlnE immediate solution"
