And usher in the glad New Time

All men have come with joyful sound.
And in true love as King have crowned
The Blessed Babe Of Bethlehem.

THE INSPECTOR THERE.

Kingstree, Dec. 2S-The State
authorities have at last begun to
take some action in the great dis.
pensary robbery. Inspector Stan
sell arrived here tonight and will
endeavor to put the officers on
the track of the robbers.
mir. Suits claims that he heard
burglars leaving town and yet
not an officer or any one else has
raised finger toward making an
effort to catch them. Mr., Suits,
the day before the robbery, told
Mr.. Player that this very thing
might happen.
1t is rumored on the streets to-
night that the shortage will ex-
ceed 5000, but as l said last night
no one knows what it is, and will
not know until the inspectors
make it known.

dence in him. He had not de-
posted any money for about two
weeks and up to a short time
ago he had been depositing his
money in the safe Of Messrs.
Hitler & Co. which made it per-
fectly safe. The county treas
urer states that Mr.. Players bond
expired about the 18th of Decem-
ber, and he promptly notified
II. 0. Britton, clerk Of the board,
and Mr.. Britton states that he
promptly notified the state board
Of control, that M. Player was
without bond, and they paid no
attention. The county board,
knowing MIR. Player to be without
bond, quietly let him 60 on acting
dispenser, in the full discharge
of hin duties. 20 say the least
of this, 1T amounts to almost
criminal carelessnesS, andE the
sentiment Of the people demand
at least the prompt removal of
the board, as by this act alone
they have shown their unfitness
for filling any such important
business positions.
Mr.. Stults says that he is conf.
dent that he knows the four men
who robbed the dispensary
that he has no proof but that
one OF the men wor a peculiar
kind Of macintosh coat tn at
gave him dead away
If this Wholesale robbery be
allowed to pass unnOticod us has
been done in the ease of every
other robbery connected with
the dispensary here, tho people
will vote to put it out Of town.
The graded school is almost
wholly run by the profits Of the
dispensary at this place, and if
the town were to lose this money
it would cause the school TO be
closed ono year or longer.
Capt. w. H. Kennedy, mayor
of Kingstree, has tried time
after time to get Mr.. Player to
deposit the dispensary money, ~
the law requires, once n week,
with the county treasurer, but
without avail, as it seems that
he deposited when he pleased.
Mayor Kennedy further states
that he appealed to Mr.. Britton,
who is manager for the board,
to help him to get Player to de-
post the money, but was given
no satisfaction. The county
treasurer, r. D. Rollins, states
that he also advised Mr.. Player
80 be more regular in depositing
money. Mr.. Player had de-
posted only a285 during the
month Of December. 1t is not
known how much tho shortage
will aggregate, probably 81 800
or may be as much as 90 900.

Four Masked Men.

Special to The State.
Kingstree, Dec. 29-Early this
morning, as business people were
entering upon their duties for the
day, it was whispered around
that the dispensary had again
been robbed and that Dispenser
i. M. Player had been "held up''
and relieved of over 81. 800 in

morning.
Mr.. Player, it appears, had re,

that he had been robbed, and
gave the following particulars:

dispensary; that he opened the
door and was Immediately COW

lis money or his life, and, being
unarmed and unprepared for any
such emergency, he was power

simply saying, "Gentlemens, I is
in your power"
Two others, making four men
in all, then came forward and
entered the dispensary, and took
all the contents of the safe and
two bags Of liquors, and deliher.
ately walked off, telling Mr..
Player to be careful and not give
any alarm for at least 80 min

danger. AS soon as Mr.. Player
thought they had left be ran to

Mr.. Suits says that after being
aroused no distinctly heard tho

of the United States battleship Maine were
opened to-day. There twelve bidders.
whose offers ranged from SS61. 900, the bid OF
the Swartz Foundry. of New-Orleans. 10 the
proposal Of Chamberlain & Co. OF Chicago 10
remove the wreck for nothing and 10 give the
Government per cent on the sales OF the ma
terial IN the form of souvenirs
The variety Of plans for raising the wreck Is
no less astonishing than the difference IN the
bids One contractor proposed 10 raise it by
means OF balloon. Several suggested novel
schemes involving cofferdams, and others
named pontoons and air bags as lifting con-
trivances.
John T. Cavanagh. Of Boston, submitted a
plan for raising the wreck by means Of chains
and jackscrews at a cost OF $735oOO
On the first call for bids. last December. the
Swartz Foundry was the lowest bidder. its fig

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.
WHAT THE HAVANA PRESS THINKS THE
ISLAND OUGHT TO DO.

Havana. Feb. LA Nacion" treating edi-
torially to-day OF the present condition OF Cuba.
says:
The work OF getting up n constitution is
comparatively easy matter. The important ques-
tion OF the future is the relations which Cuoa
is 10 hold with the United States. Not only
should Cuba pay back with generosity faVors
received but the economical situation for us de-
pends upon the attitude OF the United states; ,s:
and the political question thus resolves itse!r
into an economical question. The Convention IN
our Judgment. would DO well TO adopt the follow
ing as the basis OF those relations:
THAT the Republic OF Cuba will respect and
guarantee lives, property and acquired rights in
the same form the United States guaranteed
these in the Treaty Of Paris.
That the Republic will guarantee rights ac-
duired during the American Intervention by law,
decree. judgment or other act Of the Military
Government.
THAT the Republic. for period of two years
after the establishment OF Independence. VIII
conduct foreign affairs through the Unlted
States; will make no treaty with any other ma
tion prejudicial to the United States, and VIII
accept no compromise which might give rise 10
the occupation Of the island to Intervention
in its customs.
THAT the United States. for period of two
years after the establishment OF independence,
may occupy forts in Cuba, provided the CUBAN
flag flies with the American.
THAT Cuba will lease TO the United States
two coaling stations and Will give no CONNER
cial advantages to any other nation which are
not given to the United States; and
THAT none Of these concessions or promises
is TO be taken TO imply any cessation of the
sovereignty OF Cuba or any lessening OF her COM
plete independence"
La Lucha" to-day editorially indorses the
view Of La Naclon" as to the basis OF future
relations.
The Convention held a secret session this
morning. at which the anti-Gomez element an

STEWART MANSION PERHAPS TO BE
GIVEN To SOCIETY INTER
ESTED IN SEAAIEN.

II was learned yesterday from a trustworthy
rource that negotiations are pending for the
purchase Of the old A. T. Stewart mansion at
Thirty -fourth-st. ana FIfth-ave. The person who
has expressed a desire 10 obtain the house is
interested, from what could be learned. in some
large charitable institution OF this city. and has
decided 10 present 10 this organization a gift
in the form OF a spacious home. He has inti-
mated that he thinks the Stewart mansion would
be suitable for this purpose, and that IL his
plans are carried out he viii remove the struct-
ure at his own expense and have it erected, in
its present form, somewhere in Westchester.
He has inquired about the price asked, not
only for the house, but for the marble ratings
around the grounds and the two story building
in the rear, which was at once time used as a
library by A. T. Stewart. His name could not
be learned yesterday. II was said however, that
he was thought to be identified most prominent
ly with institution conducted for the benefit
Of seamen. The Knickerbocl1er Trust Company
bought some time ago a plot OF the property on
the northwest corner. and il obtained the title
20 this plot yesterday from the Barney-Shelton
syndicate. The company bought this plot with
the idea OF erecting a five story Office building
on il.
The person who made these facts public said
yesterday 10 a Tribune reporter in speaking
about the property: THE Stewart mansion has
not been altered since A. !. stewart DOlIt II,
with the exception OF the gas fixtures"
What does the person who IS negotiating for
the purchase of the building intend 10 do with
the old building in the rear Of the mansion?"

That the committee Will divide political

evidenced by the fact that yesterday none of the
Democrats nor their Populist allies would dis
cuss the subject for publication. whereas all of
them now appear willing enough to talk since
they conceive that probably The Tribune's in
terview with Senator Platt has forecast the Gov
