CUBA AND ANNEXATION.
Natives Must First He Given Abso-
lutte independence.

WASHINGTON. July a - Secretary
Root today, in discussing the coming
constitutional convention In Cuba. express
ed himself quite positively on the quos-
ton of annexation. In reply to a question
he said that the question of annexation,
or any other subject for that matter.
might be brought up before the conven-
ton, but that, in his own opinion, Cuban
annexation, If it came at all. was not i'm
mlnent Just now. Said he:
My own experience in Cuba leads me
TO believe that the desire for lndepend-
ence Is both strong and general among
the people. L do not think they want an
neXation, even supposing we want them.
Under the congressional resolution. we
are in honor bound to give them indie
pendence first. If, subsequently. thew
wish annexation, that IS a matter for
them to determine. But it should be de-
termined when they are in a position alb
solutely independent of US. Even then.
as nave suggested, 1t is a case in which

NINE. ELSIE DE TOURNEY.
Clever Tragedtenne Who Is Rapidly
Making Her Mark.

Probably no legitimate star as aspirant
for histrionic honors in the past few
years, has made such progress in winning
the hearts of the theater-going public as
Nine. de Tourney, the French tragedi-
enne, who, besides her ability, has the
advantages of beauty and youth. Last
season, as Mary Stuart. Queen of Scots
the critics were liberal in their praise
Many compared her to Mcdjeska I'm this
character. st. Paul is interested to a de-
gree in Nine. de Journeys success, as
she spends portion of her summer va
cations here each year She was born
In Paris, but raised in the beautiful Ger
man village of Stettin. The world-fa-
nous prima donna. Johanna Gadski. and
Nine de Tourney were playmates to-
gether in this town in North Germany
near the capital of Berlin. Nine de
Tourney gives her time and her best eff
forts to the production of legitimate
plays, in the lines which made Sarah
Bernhardt, Mary Anderson, Fanny Dav-
export and others famous
Nine. de Tourney is a defender and
champion of the stage as an honorable
profession for any woman with good and
pure intentions and sufficient ability in
that line to achieve success, and by prac-
ucing what She breaches she has added
one more stone to the foundation laid
for the elevation of the stage and en-

being hailed as the latest and most SEN
sational artists in vaudeville. The Hol-
loway trio, Of which they are members,
first do a tight wire act, and when the
two men and a woman composing 1t
walk tight wire on stills and wind up
doing a cake walk the acme of vaude-
vile art and sensationalism is supposed
to have been reached. But the next
feat is an even greater one. A ladder
fifteen feet high is stood in the middle
of the stage and one of the Holloways
proceeds to climb it, balancing as he
climbs. He goes all the way up, carefully
balancing at every step. He then stands
up there, one foot on each side of the
ladder, balancing himself as one would
on Fair of stills. Then he begins NOV
ing the ladder about by means of his
feet.
At a signal the other man begins climb
ing. After he reaches the top the two co
feats of balancing. Finally one of the
men stands on the other mans should

The audience watches this feat in

is rope attached to wire in front OF
the men. This they are supposed to grasp
in case of a fall, but it would be of small
avail were the ladder to tip.

Despite the theme. there was never an
electric thrill in M. Saint-Saens music,
which was uncompromisingly Of the "oc-
casionaP' kind. Doubtless the composer
was hampered by the poet, who wrote
without regard to the needs of the mu-
sician, but there were opportunities in the
classical apostrophes which might have
evoked some bits of inspired melody. But
they did not.
Neither did Saint-Saens exploit his mas
terry in the learned forms Once he start
ed a fugue, but he did not seem to care
to pursue it after he had safely brought
in his voices. The final chorus was bald
~ homophonic in the main, with its stiff
strains colored, embellished and enlivened
by the orchestra.

TO BURN THE PALACE
Discovery of Two Boxes of Expfo
sfves in Paris.

PARIS. July 14.-The origin Of the two
boxes of explosives discovered by a
Waterman in the cellars of the Grand
Palace of the Champs EIysees, is still a
mystery. The police believe they were
left by workmen when they excavated
the foundations Of the building, or were
hidden there by thieves who intended to
recover them later.
The feeling in other quarters, however,
is that there was plot to burn the pal
ace, and a connection is made between
the discovery and the recent fire at
Chateau d'Eu, which Investigations show
ed to have been the work of an incen-
diary.

THE SOUBRETTE

THE SOUBRETTE.
The soubrette rs a girl
with flaXen curl
And heart that is marked Ito let"
Shes dashing and gay,
And she seems to saw:
y our re the only one I've met"
Shes a trihe fly"
She IS always dry
~; And she love you if you let he-.
Iilf fast IN the net
OF the little cOquette
Is some one she fancies better
All, the little soubrette
Is a costly pet!
81, She never, no never contracts debtI
For the debt expands
Whenever she lands
And she lands whenever she leads, Won
bet
The sOubrette is a maid
Who is never afraid,
Though often she seems to be shy;
That's part of the play
You can tell right away,
By the twinkle that turks IN her eve,
If you ask her to drink
Shell tip you a wink;
she fancies a supper that's wet
But IL you are broke
You'll be sorry you spoke,
For diamonds are trumps, you bctl
All, the little soubrette
Is q costly peti
She never will give except to get;
She signs like a furnace,
But she isn't in earnest;
You may forgive her; you can't forget.
The sOubrette on the sly
Is willing to try
A hug and a cigarette;
If you'll drown your troubles
In a bottle Of bubbles
She'll help you-you needn't fret.
She's not on the level,
She raises the--whOOpl
She'll rise when the sun has set,
And whenever she kicks
It's a minute to six
by the toes and the hose Of the littia
soubrettte.
Refrain
All the little soubrette
Is a costly pet,
She tramples on hearts without regret
And whenever she kicks
It's minute to six,
By the toes of the little soubrette.

At Least London War Of
flee Says They Know
+ Nothing About It.

London, Feb. 5-The correspon-
dent of the Associated Press learns
from official sources that absolutely
no confirmation has been received
by the War Office of the report that
General Butler has recrossed the
Tugela River and is marching on
Ladysmith. On the contrary, ac-
cording to the information of the
War Office at the present moment,
there is every indicationtha things
are quiet at the front, and that no
immediate movement is anticipated.
Regarding the dispatches from
Ladysmith, saying that Buffers
guns have been heard there, it is
surmised that some practice may
have been going on with the new
batteries which have just reached
the front.
