Take up the White Mans burden
And reap his old reward
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard
The cry of hosts ye humor
(Ah, slow1yI) toward the fight
"Why brought ye Us from bondage,
Dor loved Egyptian night :"
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stoop to less
Nor calf too loud on Freedom
To cloak your WEAKNESS.
By all we will or whisper,
By ali we leave or do,
The silent, su11en peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden!
Have done with childish days
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise:
Come now, to search your manhood
Through all the thank1eSs years
Cold, edged with dear-boeght wisdom,
The judgment of your peers.

Take Up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, IN heavy harness,
On f1uttered folk and wild
Your new-caught sul1en peoples.
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain;
To seek another's profit
And work another'S gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage ways of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
CThe end for others sought)
Watch s1oth and heather folly
Bring all your hope to nought.
Take Up the White Mans burden
No iron role of kings,
But toll of serf and sweeper
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The road ye shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.

CUBANS WELL DISPOSED.
senior Quesnda Denies Reports of
Friction with American Authorities.

Senior Quesada, late of the Cuban lega-
ton and just returned from Cuba, says
that there appeared to be a misconception
in both the United States and in Cuba as
TO the attitude of the people in each coun-
try. He desires it understood, and he
based his statement on the closest observa-
tlon ~hhe IN Cuba, that absolutely the
best OF feeling prevailed among the Cubans
toward the United States military authori-
ties IN the island. This was true notWirh-
standing the open efforts of some persons
TO give rise 10 the impression that great
friction exists and that the Cubans gener-
any were Chatting at the actions of the
Americans. He was sure that with sim
pie exercise of the most ordinary tact on
both sides there could arise no trouble be-
tween the Cubans and the Americans.
senior GonZalo De Quesada received a.
cdoleSram this morning from Gen. Maxine
Gomez, dated at MatanzaS, in which the
CUBAN leader stated that he was very much
pleased with the situation in Cuba and
that he would he in Havana very shortly

TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF SAILORS.
Lashed to Rail Three Days Without
Food or Fire.

a special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Norfolk, Va, yesterday says:
The schooner NJ. T. Hope, Captain Mclean,
from Boston to Lamberts Point for coal,
arrived here today, having on board the
shipwrecked crew of the schooner James
Z. Bayles. Captain Darling of the Bay.es
told a most pitiabIe story.
They were struck by the storm of Febru-
airy IL and the vessel sprung aleak on the
following Monday. All three masts had 10
be cut away and the pumps were kept at
work for two days, when they broke down,
leaving the ships company helpless and at
the mercy of the storm, snow, Sleet and
wind. The boats and nearly everything else
had been carried away. After the breaking
of the pumps the vessel settled rapidly
and sank to the waters edge.
Captain Daring had his wife aboard and
he dashed himself and her to the rail the
crew also flashing themselves. For three
days they were without food, water or fire.
1t was 2 terrible experience. Mrs. Darling
nnaHy Succumbed to the cold and froZe
to death in the arms of her husband. Stew
ard Balconl had his feet frozen and all
hands suffered intensely.
To add to their wretchedness they had
no flag left with which TO signal for as
sistance- Several vessels passed and a
steamship which was within half mile of
them failed to discover that they were
aboard the schooner and passed on up the
coast. They were about ninety miles off
the capes OF Delaware when they were
picked up by the schooner NJ. t Hope.
The body of Mrs. Darling was buried at
sea. She was thirty years old. Her home
was at Huntington. l.. l. The shipwrecked
crew were in the city today, and the cap

of the situation, took up a collection for
them, realizing a considerable amount

She Was Famous Actress in the
OIden Days.

Mrs. Elizabeth Ponsi Wallis, who as
Nine. Ponisi charmed the theatergoers of
two continents years ago, died Sunday after
noon at the residence of her stepdaughter
Mrs. Emily Rode, No. 332 street north
east. Funeral services were held last even
ing, and the remains were taken to Key
port, N. j., for burial there this afternoon.
She was eighty years old at the time of her
death, and had been suffering from rheu-
matism for over a year.
The fathers and mothers of the present
generation of theatergoers will remember
Nine Ponisi as the "old woman in Wal
lacks Theater Company. She was one of
the favorites Of that famous organization,
and was always sure of hearty welcome
whenever she appeared on the stage 1t is
safe to say that the American stage has
never known A better general actress. In
the course of her long career she had play
ed soubrette ro-eS, she had performed the
leading parts n the highest range of trag-
edy, and she had not disdained in emer-
gency to go on as walking lady, with a
trifie of only one or two lines to speak.
Always she was the same charming, talent
ed actress.
Born in Huddersfeld, England, in 1918,
she began to show her prediction for the
stage at very early age. Her London de-
but was made at the Surrey Theater as
Lady Walsingham in The Secretary in
1SiS, and two years later she came to
America. She played first in Philadelphia,
making her debut in The WIFE,, and
shortly afterward Joined the Old Broadway
Theater Company in New York. making
her first appearance as Lady Teazle.
She was the original Francesca da Rim
mi in Boxers play of that name, and Con-
stanZa in THE Bethrothed." She was the
Pompadour in "Narcisse," and made of
that unpleasant and ungrateful character
1.-The most finished and effective picture in
the play" With Edwin Forrest she played
round of performances and was regarded
by that great actor as peerless in her roles.
In 1864 Nine. Ponisi made short star
ring tour with Lady Macbeth as the fea-
ture of her repertory. She did not enjoy
the rowing life, however, and soon returned
TO New York, where she played special en-
gagements until 1871, when she Joined Wal
lacks company. She remained with Mr.
Wai!ack as long as he remained manager
Afterward she joined Mr.. Henry E. Abbeys
company for the season of 1SS7-'SS, and
since then she played only few times
Her last appearance on the stage was made
at the testimonial given to her old friend,
Aunt Louisa Eldridge, at the Academy
of Music, on April g. 1893
Mime. Ponisi was twice married. Her first
husband, James Ponisi, was an actor. She
secured divorce from him, and in 1858 she
was married again to Mr.. Samuel Wallis,
the master mechanic at the Broadway The
alter, who died in 1884. She never had any
children, but her second husband was a
widower with eight children when she mar

SPANISH MINISTRY ATTACKED.
Sensational Charges Made by the OPP
position in the COrtes.

position in the COrtes.
The conduct of the late war came up
for discussion in the Spanish cortes yester-
day and brought out most virulent criti-
cism of the government and the generals
commanding in Cuba Count d'Amenas
and Senior Annix took the lead in the at
tack on the government.
A dispatch from Madrid last night quotes
Senior Annix as saying that President Nc
Kinley had telesTaphed to Gen. Shafter
that the surrender OF Santiago had been
arranged with the Madrid government,
and that. therefore, he must make a sort
of sham attack.
Capt. Aunon. minister of marine inter
posed at this point. saying he believed this
story to be incorrect; whereupon Senior
Annix repeated the statement that Pre-
mier Sagasta had ordered the surrender
of Cuba in order 10 save the monarchy.
Count d Almenas then brought up the
question OF the conduct of the generals
engaged in the war in Cuba, declaring
that Gen. Primo de Rivera, Gen. Weyler,
Gen. Blanco, Admiral Cervera and Gen.
1-inares had proved failures. This declar-
alton elected much applause from the pub
lie galleries. in consequence of which sew
eral of the spectators We're expelled from
the chamber
Count d'Almenas complained that Five
months had elapsed and not single gem
eral had been shot" This gave rise to
called to order. Again he asked why the
generals who capitulated had not been ex-
ecuted. 1t is quite true, he declared, that
the army is an army of lions led by asses.
Captain General Blancos administration in
Cuba was deplorable, he said, but he was
not responsible for the surrender of San
tago.
determinations continued between Count
d'Almenas and Lieut.. Gen. Correa, the
minister of war. and there was renewed
disorder. Then Gen. Primo de Rivera arose
and denounced Count q Almenas as a 'con-
temptible calumniator.''
Gen. Blanco followed, defending the gen.
erals and accepting full responsibility for
events in Cuba during his command in
the island. Gen. BargeS also denounced
Count 'Almenas a calumniator
After a promise on the part of Count
d 'Almenas to produce proofs of his asser-
tons the senate adjourned.
In the chamber a resolution of condo
lence with France over the Death of Pres
ident Faure was unanimously adopted.

Owing to lack of punctuation, as well
perhaps as to an undue regard to economy
in cable tolls, Gen. Otis bulletin is not
very clear in some essential points, par
ticularly the reference to the island of
Negro. A careful study of the dispatch on
that point has convinced the officials here
that Gen Otis means to say that four rep
resentatfve inhabitants of the island of
Negroes have come to Manila having been
sent by Gen. Miller to meet and confer
with Gen. Otis in regard to an extension
OF American occupation to that island
Negroes is the fourth island in the Philip
pine group in Importance. 1t lies at its
nearest point about ten miles distant from
the island Panay, of which Iloilo is the
capital, and Gen. Miler's forces must have
been in plain sight of Negros during the
weeks preceding the capture of Iloilo. Just
to the east of Negroes, separated by a very
narrow strait, is the island of Cebu, which
1t is also part of Gen. Otis purpose to
occupy. From Gen. Otis dispatch 1t is
gathered that neither at that point nor at
Negros is there likely to be very substan-
tiai resistance

ried him, and it was with the youngest of
these that she had made her home in
Washington for several years.
Owen Fawcett, who is playing at the
Lafayette this week in e. II. Sothern's sup
port, said he played with Nine. Ponisi here
in 1862. James Nixon, the Old circus man,
secured an Old Baptist church and con-
verified it into theater and called it Ford 5
Atheneum. 1t was afterward torn down
and Ford's Theater, now the museum,
built upon the site. The Atheneum was
opened by Edwin Forrest, who brought in
his support Nine. Ponisi. John Mccullough
George Becks and Owen Fawcett. The re-
mainder of the company was supplied by
the local manager and included several
persons who were natives of this city and
made their debut at that time. Nine. Poni-
81 had already played here several times
before her engagement with Forrest. She
was great favorite with the Old National
Theater audiences. Her last appearances
in Washington were made in the support
of Joseph jefferson.

In the case of Walter West, administrator
against Henry Woodson. involving the
ownership of the personal property in the
Hotel Mckinley, and an accounting from
the defendant, Justice Cox today set aside
the order made on the 10Th instant reauir-
ing the complainant to give security for
costs.
The action today was taken by the court
upon motion of Lambert & Lambert, at
torneys for the complainant, who contended
that although the complainant was a resi-
dent of Virginia he brought the present suit
as a duly qualified administrator, having
received such letters from the District Su-
preme Court Messrs. Gloss & Yeager rep
resented the defendant.
