THE VISIT OF SECRETARY ROOT
rs BErNG DISCUSSED ny THE CUBAN
PRESS At HAVANA.
One Paper wants Him to Tell When
the Promises Arc to lie
Redeemed.

Havana. March 2.--Ia Lucia, referring
IN the expected visit of Secretary Root,
saws: Mr.. Root should consult with those
elements OF the country which owned her
former wealth---the merchants, planters
and workers generally. He should not
consult officers and office seekers. These
people are merely parasites and VIII nat
urally uphold the status quo. His visit
will be an important event.
La Discussione says; I'VE do not know
why Secretary Root is coming, but 1t be-
hooves the Cubans to ask him clearly
and plainly when the promise of the Joint
resolution will be fulfilled. II he evades
the question then the Cubans should force
the American people to interfere by re-
sisting the American administration"
La Patria says: I'VE neither know nor
care to know the reason for the coming
of Secretary Root. President Mckinley
can find out all he wants to know through
General Wood whom the Cubans trust
implicitly"
Three policemen arrested a man at Be
jucaI. in this province, took him to jail
and put him into stocks, beating and
otherwise maltreating him. Civil Gov
ernor Nunez has temporarily suspended
the mayor and chief OF police of Bejucai.
In the meantime an investigation has been
ordered.
At a meeting of the municipality Of Ha-
vana proposal was made to give General
Maxico Gomez 500 a month, not as a re-
ward. but as a donation. 1t was argued
that other MUNICIPALITIES would follow suit
and in this way respectable sum would
be realized.
Senior Mora proposed that the munich
patty should inaugurate subscription
with a lump sum, thus opening the way
for subscriptions in other parts of the is
land. After some discussion the matter
was postponed to the next session.
General Gomez says he is going TO San
Domingo on March 10 on family matters
and that while there he will arrange
other matters in connection with the
Dominican republic. A decree OF pardon
will shortly be issued covering all press
offenses heretofore committed.

COMMODORE MAYO DEAD.

Aged Retired Naval Officer Who Was
 Divorced From Waterbury Girl.
 Commodore William K. Mayo, U. S' N., retired, died last night in Washing ton, D. C., aged seventysix years
 Commodore Mayo was native or Virginia and entered the service in lS4l' He reached the grade of commodore Tn 1882 and was placed on the retired list in 1886 upon his own application after forty years service. His troubles with his wife have recently been the subject of litigation in two states.
 Only 8 few days ago referees re- port declaring that Mrs. Jennie Elton Stevens Mayo had no ground for dl- vorce as alleged, was accepted here by the superior court, throwing the case out of court.
 Attorneys Hotchkiss and Asher rep resented the commodore in this pro- ceeding. The ~ase was a most inter- esting one.
 On December s, 1892, Commodore Mayo married Miss Jennie Elton Stew ems, daughter of Orvile H. Stevens of Waterbury. He was thirtyseven years her senior.
 The wedding reception in Washington, where he took his bride, was a bril- liant function, but it was noticeable on that evening that Mrs Mayo acted queerly. Shortly afterward she went to her fathers home in Waterbury and suffered SC acutely from nervous trou- ble that she was sent to sanitarium after three times attempting suicide.
 They never lived together again, and in February, 1894, Commodore Mayo ad- vertised that his wife had deserted him.
 He went to Fargo, N. D., in 1S99 and after establishing a residence there ob- tained a divorce and married wealthy Washington widow.
 Mrs. Mayo No 1 attempted to have the Dakota decree set aside and her own granted, but in this she failed.

Poli's Wonderland Theater.

"Why do we want the Philippines?" asks George Wilson, and then this droll fellow proceeds to tell MT. PoiiS s audi ences the reason. MT. Wilson's speech is suited to any platform, but best to the vaudeville stage. It Is a happy take-off on the campaign orator, and with it's accompaniment of jokes and songs is making a great hit. The bill is pleasing everyone immensely. Be- sides Wilson, there is big aggregation of star comedy and speciality acts. Dempsey, Mitchell X Go. in a sketch that involves very much mixed and amusing situation are excellent. Ned Monroe and Nellie Lawrence also have a very bright comedy sketch, and the Three Savans in acrobatic comedy form with the three jolly "coons'' Jones,

The Hyperion will have one of the most notable attractions for Friday
 night, April 13 Good Friday) in the ever-wecome John Drew, who is now i11 his eighth season as star under the management of Charles Frohman. "The
 Tyranny of Tears is comedy of temperament.' At least so it. is de- scribed by its distinguished author, Haddon Chambers. It tells of the do- mestic chaos that results from the over use of a loving wife's lachrymal ducts. Her husband, devoted to her, is literally tear-tyrannzed. Should he at first deny a request, she claims he does not love her, and copiously weeps The husband gentleness personified and looking upon a scene" as vulgar, as well as hating tears, of course yields. The outcome is that with tears she has driven away all his friends, until she has the satis- faction Of practically having him all to herself-her most earnest desire. With tears she has won her every wish for five years; but at length, like all ty- rants, she uses her power unwiSely and goes just one step too far. The husband rebels, and the resultant complications make one of the most interesting stories over told on the stage. The unanimity of critical opinion is to the effect that MT Drew never had better part than as the suffering and ultimately rebel lious husband He is admirably assist ed by his leading lady, Miss Isabel 1rv- ing, Miss Ido Conquest Miss Georgie Mendum and Arthur Byron, Harry Har- wood and Frank F. Lamb. Every de- tail of the production is exactly the same as during the New York city en- gagement. Seats now on sale. Prices $150, $1, 75c.
