about half a million, perhaps something
more. but certainly far short of million
This increase we mentioned very distinct
" in our recent discussion OF state
finances. We said that but for It there
would have been an enormous deficit In
the State finances for the year. We also
snowed that the Republican State admin
fsfration was entitled to no credit for It.

Serious Charge Against n Cuban OF.

Serious Charge Against a Cuban Of
ficer In Havana.
A dispatch from Havana yesterday says:
The city is profoundly stirred by the death
of the young wife Of Villegas. the former
Cuban officer, whose cruelties to her had
long been scandal.
Villegas often forced her to take poison,
and threatened her life with a revolver
on unfounded charges of unfaithfulness.
When 1t was too late her friends removed
her to the house of her mother, where she
died.
The funeral took place today. Last night
an immense crowd went past the house,
many going in to see the body of the vic
tim in her coffin. Two hundred women
called upon Governor General Brooke with
a petition asking him to see justice done
in the matter. In consequence of the gov
ernor generals indisposition, the deputa-
ton was received by General Chaffee,
General BroOke's chief of staff, who said
the affair would be dealt with by the
courts. and that Villegas would get what
he deserved. To this the deputation re-
piled that they had no confidence in the
Cuban tribunals, and that If justice were
not done they would themselves punish
the criminal.
At the grave Senior Arrange made an ad-
dress. in the course of which he said he
would himself go to the courts and de-
mand Justice. The people cried in response:

Those Who Will Sing I'm the Repre-
sensations of "The Messiah

H..
At meeting of the concert committee OF
the Choral Society Thursday night the
soloists for the coming performance of
1.-THE Messiah on December &c were Sc
lected. The celebrated operate and ora
torio basso, Mr. David Bispham, will sing
the bass part, which is the most important
Of the quartet. Mr. Bispham's celebrity in
this part extends throughout both England
and America. He sang it last year In Bos-
ton, New York, Chicago, Syracuse and a
half dozen other cities and already is en-
gagged for a number Of renditions Of the
part.
Miss Sara Anderson, who is spoken of as
the most satisfactory dramatic soprano now
before the public in oratorio music, will
also take part.
Mr.. Nicholas Douty, whose last appear
ance in Washington was at one of Mrs.
tenor, while the beautiful alto part will be
taken by our Washington favorite, Miss
Fielding Roselle. She sang this same part
with the society two years ago, and it will
be remembered that her rendition was far
more satisfactory than that Of almost any
other singer whom the society has had on
the same part for number Of years.
It is a rather remarkable instance Of the
rise of American singers that this quartet,
which is probably the finest which has
ever sung in this work in Washington. is
composed entirely Of American-born sing
ers.
For the second performance of 1.-THE Mes
siah,' on January 2, it was agreed to Sc
cure Nine. Schumann-Heink, whose voice
and acting in "Lohengrin and die Wal
kure'' created SO great sensation at the
appearance of the Grau Opera Company
here last spring. Who will appear with her
has not yet been definitely settled. The ex-
pectation is that the soprano role will be
sung by a very accomplished amateur of
one of the best families of Baltimore.
The chairman Of the committee, Mr.. Ed
win A. Hill, was absent from the meeting,
as he is spending his vacation in New
Haven.

be doner'
The leaders of the crowd Of demonstra-
tors who last night marched on Vivac, the
tombs of Havana, where Villegas is con-
fined, assert they had no intention of
lynching him, but only meant to make a
peaceable protest and to demand Justice
from the governor general. They explained
that the procession broke hurriedly be-
cause the action OF sentries led them to
believe that the military had been warned
to dispense them.
