Catholic Church Benefit.

THE Great Diamond Robbery at the
opera house next Monday night for the
benefit Of the Catholic church, promises
to be- one of the best entertainments ever
given in Webster. The piece is one that
appeals to the sympathy of everyone,
holding the attention of all from the rise
to the fall of the curtain, by reason of
the witty dialogue, quick action and n
slant changes from the pathetic to- the
ludicrous. The cast secured here is good
each one seeming to be peculiarly
adapted to their different parts. The
piece is under the direction of two pro-
fessional actors-Messrs. Commons and
Flynn, who tell us that they are more
than pleased with the cast secured. The

NEWS OF THE WORLD.
The ''St. Paul Dispatch Enterprise
Gives II to Northwestern Readersi

If anything had been lacking to make
a perfect metropolitan newspaper OF the
st. Paul Dispatch, the want was entirely
filled when Ii completed arrangements
for the special foreign cable service which
is now frightening its columns. 1t is
really astonishing how the recen: wal
with Spain has developed the American
thirst for the news of the world. 1t
placed America in a new position with
regard to the rest of the earth and gave
new importance 10 the events OF the
world at large. If the movements OF
foreign powers were once OF interest
they became doubly so when America
rose into place as a world power. The
st. Paul Dispatch recognized this when
It secured this cable service, with Its
news from first hands. No longer is
London the sole source of all European
news, and no longer is the news of the
world filtered through British channels
and tinted with English ideas. Ii comes
to the Dispatch straight from each
European center and without bias or
prejudice. This will be gratifying TO
all intelll gent people Oh the horthwes',
particularly so to that large foreign
born element which delights In informa
ton direct from the fatherlaDd. The
Dispatch has secured a resident cor
respondent in every large city on earth
who uses both cable and mail is sending
in every news event of interest and all
public gossip that is dear to the heart
OF newspaper readers. In the past six
months the Dispatch has made great
strides to the front and is today recog-
nized as the greatest evening newspaper
of the northwest.

IN HAVANA

IN HAVANA
Havana, June 1I--General Alexandra Rodrl-

of Havana, polling 1903 votes, against 6'o54
cast for Senior Estrada Mora. Independent The
total vote fell about 1000 below the registration
The National party elected its entire ticket
eighteen Councilmen the Treasurer, one Correc-
tionaI Judge and three Municipal Judges. The
other Correctional Judgeship fell TO an indepen-
dent candidate, as did also the fourth Municipal
Judgeship OF the six other Councilmen four
are Republicans and two Nationalists, who ran
Independently.
Reports from every part Of the island go 10
show that perfect order prevailed at the polls
Not a shot was fired, nor was there any sign OF
disturbance anywhere.
To an American observer of the election here
it seemed as if the people regarded the whole
matter with absolute Indifference There was
not even a crowd in waiting to hear the result
declared. Not q cheer was raised nor were
there any of the ordinary indications of election
excitement, although u demonstration IN hoIior

Havana perhaps thirty thousand. was not at

year and a half prior TO the election 4I4IS IS
chiefly the result of lack of confidence III the
party leaders.
Another fact demonstrated by the elections is
the inability Of the Republican leaders, headed
by Juan Gualberto Gomez and Domingo Mendez
Capote with their organ, La Discussion, 10
cut any important figure in the politics OF Ha-
vana The Republican leaders have failed all
along the line TO justify their numerous pre-
tensions.
Senor Mora contends that he polled major
ity of the voters in the better class districts and
he attributes the triumph, OF the NatlonallstS 10
fraud and the votes of the mob"
Impartial judges attribute the outcome TO the
hard work done by the Nationalist leaders.
General Rodriguez declines TO outline his plans,
preferring 10 wait until the Havana charter has
been made public. with its definition of his
powers.
Although the cry of the Nationalists was that
the people should choose the revolutionary lead
ers because the work of the revolution was not
complete and in order 10 prove TO the interven-
ing Government that the people of Cuba con-
sidered it incomplete, nevertheless many of the
leading Councilmen elected and two of those
who were most anxious to secure the Mayoralty
are not i'll any sense revoutionists. The people
also are asking where the pacifcos are to
come in.

London. June IS a. In.-The rumor that the
Legations in Peking have been destroyed and
the German Minister murdered. is not confirmed
by the Berlin Foreign Office, but there is no evil
dence accessible by which it can be contradicted.
The Peking correspondent of The Post" how
ever. telegraphing on Wednesday. states that
the German Minister has been captured by the
Boxers. The Chinese Government was up till
then undecided whether to suppress the Boxers
or TO support them. The choice of action rested
with the Empress. The correspondent added
that a crowd of Boxers occupied Legation-st-
and prevented communication between the vari-
Gus buildings.
Americans in the interior Of the two neighbor-
ing provinces had been advised TO leave, but
several had means Of doing so.
Another very grave message from Peking was
forwarded by The Times" correspondent in
the capital Thursday. He states that a for
1nidable anti-foreign outbreak took place on
Wednesday night. Fortunately, no Europeans
appear TO have been injured, but hundreds Of
native Christians and native servants in the
employ of foreigners were massacred in the
capital within two miles Of the Imperial Palace.
Some Of the finest buildings in the eastern part
OF the city We're burned, among the edihces de-
stroyed being that of the American Board of

guards failed TO arrive Immediately, further
riots were expected.
A Shanghai telegram to The Times" says the

It was confronted by Chinese Imperial troops
and had large bodies Of Boxers in its rear.
Water was scarce and the comnissariat lacking.
