STORIES OF THE STAGE.

David Higgins and Miss Georgia
Waldron will appear in their new
rural society play Counting at
Green's" at Harper's theatre next
Sunday, supported by a strong COM
pany. The play is of the class of
Shore Acres" and 1.-The Old Home
stead" and while laid in the Adiron-
dack country of northern New York,
has all the flavor and atmosphere of
the New England character story.
1t is brimful of humor and patbos,
and appeals to those kindlier emotions
which enoble us all. 1t is gentle
story of the heart and it's personages
are of the soil, homely and true. The
company supporting the principals is
an unusually strong and capable one,
and was organized in New York city,
each character being fitted by the per-
sonality of the player. 1t includes
Walter Horton. Miss Gabrielle Nc
Kean, Logan Paul. Miss Olive Maude
Davis, Frank c. Campbell, Miss Lydia
Knott, John German, Miss May Chal-
FAINT, Charles d. Coburn. Miss Mollie
Bryant, Harry Daus and Edwina Paul.
The scenery is entirely new and was
painted by Walter Bu-ridge. The
effects are unique and effective. Mr..
has the reputation of putting
his plays on well and in this. his
newest and best drama. he has out
done his former good habit of fulfill
ing his promises to his friends, the
theatre goers of this city.
"A Free Lance" in which Robert
b. Mantell appears this season under
the management of NJ. w. Hanley, is
a romantic drama by w. A. Ire
mayne, author of "A Secret Warrant"
and The Dagger and the Cross" in
which MIR. Mantell's successes are
we'll remembered. The scene OF "a
Free Lance" is laid in north Germany
about the year 1850. When the play
opens the princeton of Wolfsberg is
governed by the Chancellor Gottfried
Won Bergman, acting as regent for
his cousin, the Princess Hilda, who is
not yet of age.
The chancellor has a son, Oscar,
whom he wishes TO marry to Hilda.
Both father and son are cruel and I'M
scrupulous and are hated by the peo-
pie of WolfsL org. A revolt against |
heir tyranny is organized. At its |
head is Sir Rudolf, the character as
,umed by Mr.. Mantell. He is free
ance, and though supposedly of lOwly |
birth, his bravery has gained the |
of knighthood. The play will |
1e seen at the Burtis Saturday night. |

Havana Jan. 3.-To-day General Wood issued
an important order giving freedom to forty men
in the Province of Santa Clara Some of them
had been detained without trial. others were
suffering excessive punishment. All had been
released ten months before by an order issued
by General Bates but they were Immediately
rearrested by orders from Division Headquar-
ters. on the ground that a department COM
mander did not have the power to pardon. After
looking carefully into the cases General Wood
decided that the Judgment of General Bates
regarding their release was wise. Reports from
other departments are daily expected.
