Stuart Robson, ia "Oliver Gold smita." probably the best thing that has cvvr come from the pen of Au- gustus ThonIa5 and doubtless the best of all Robson's successes, will appear before a large audience at ,,he Dorrir thsateT this evening. The demand for seats has b5Gn very heavy and there G-e but few good ones left. The press haC universally conceded that Robson, as "GolGsmctCl.' 'eclipses any of his former efforts, not excepting his Tony Lrmpkin" in "Sie Stocps to Con- quer." or "Bertie, the Lamb,' in The Henrietta" Mir. Robson has been ap. bearing before the American public continuously for half a century; the audiences that view his perform ances .tJGay are ur.> cAil6re, and grand. children of the people whu revelled in hiS ars during his first stage success.
 In his support this year is Miss Maud Whiile, who will be seen in the role of Mary Horneck. Miss Whites petite blonde beauty is said to lend distinct charm to this beautiful character.

that no Legislation can be had for the

Il don't know; nobody knows. I

Spaniards want il, because they are
nccdlessly, ] think. afraid the Cubans
Will punish them for tha wrongs of
Spanish rule. Some Of the Cubans
want ii because Of the material ad-
vantages it would bring to The island.
Some privately favor ii. but they
would 80 with the majority Of their
compatriots ana this majority is as vet
undoubtedly against il. The United
States government would in the ah-
soncc Of the clearly expressed desire of
cuba for annexation, find ii difficult
70 get around its pledges and continue
permanently to exercise sovereignty
Il believe that cuba will soon be Lc-
corded government. but that the
United States government. in view OF
its responsibility. as We'll as Of its in
terests. will reserve a veto power in
all matters Of foreign policy and all
matters of legislation affecting the
public debt. The United States can
not say wen annex cuba and continue
their tariffs against her: and if they
admit her products free of duty the
tobacco and sugar interests in the
