RIOTERS TO ANSWER
Minister Squiers Calls on Cu-
 ba For Redress.
INSULT WAS OFFERED OUR ENVOY
Mob at Cienfuegos Bespattered Unit- ed States Consulate With Mud as a Jesuit of Many EIec-
 ton Disturbances.

HAVANA, Feb. 2.-A riotous mob at Cienfuegos vented their ill feelings by finging mud upon the United States escutcheon hanging over the entrance of the United States consulate, prac- dcally covering the escutcheon with mud and filth, as the result of disputes over the election of registrars.
 United> States Minister Squiers ca bled the Cuban government to take &C., ton at once to punish the instigators of the insult
 MT. Squiers said that, while the in- cident of mud throwing in itself might be unimportant, the generally disturb cd condition of Cienfuegos made it in cumbent upon the United States rep resentatives to insist on fitting punish ment for the culprits and the prompt checking of such conduct.
 The Cuban department of state and justice has taken action and ordered the prosecution of the persons at Cien- fuegos suspected of responsibility in the defacing of the escutcheon at the United States consulate and has noti- fled Minister Squiers that an investi- gation and punishments have been or dered General Rodriguez, commander of the rural guards, has left here for Cienfuegos.
 There is much public criticism of the mayor of Cienfuegos, and the leaders of the party which caused the disturb ances are said to be well known To- cally.
 A number of Nationalists recently asked Consul Baehr to request that American warships be sent and station ed at Cienfuegos on account Of the in- capacity of the city officials to preserve order. This request, however, was not regarded as worthy of serious consid- eration.
 The only motive assigned to the mud throwing incident is a desire to create a situation which would result in the busting of the local officials.

MARY MANNERING.

A thorough representative audience, and probably q very large one as well, will be at Polls this evening to greet charming Mary Mannertng ill Aeo Ditrichsteins successful comedy, t'Harriets Honeymoon The piece furnishes succession of laughs and without doubt is one of the comedy successes of the season. Miss Man nering has just completed her New York engagement at the Garrick the ater, and the entire production and cast will be in evidence here. The three acts are laid near d hotel in kyrnhalden. which is small water ing place ill SaXenhausen, Germany. The story is based upon the romantic adventures and mfsadventures of d young American couple on their bridal tour. The many amusing types familiar to continental travellers are accurately described, and especial care has been given to accuracy and beauty in the costumes and stage set tings. Miss Mannerings supporting company is especially strong, includ- ing such we'll known players as Az thur Byron, Thomas A. Wise. Henry Kolker, Kate Lester, Lillie Hall, Nir- ginfa Staunton, Carolyn James, Emma Janvier, Louis Massen, Edward See and Adolph Jackson. Prices are p, 50, 75 cents, $l and $1.50.

CARS FRIENDSHIP
Emperor at Winter Palace
 Ball Assures Mccormick.
TALKS PEACE, BUTPREPaRES FOR WAR
Russian Ar1ny In the Far East to Be Strengthened by Addition of Man cburfan Reserves Military
 Trains G@ Hast Daily.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3. The court ball at the Winter palace last night was the most brilliant event of it's kind held here for years, and 1t marked the climax of the social season,
 The vast labyrinth of the famous halls presented remarkable scene, for every one present, from tho czar down to the lowest civilian, was in uniform. The ladies were clad in magnificent court costumes, and the dazzling dis play of jewels probably could not be surpassed at any other court of Flu rope. The ladies Of the diplomatic corps present wore court gowns of great beauty.
 The czar and czarina and the in1pe E1al family met the guests in the white marble saloon. His majesty, wearing the simple uniform of an officer of the imperial guard, led the grand march with Lady Scott, wife of the British ambassador, the ambassador escorting the czarina. The dowager empress was not present. Mrs. Mccormick, wife of the American ambassador, was escort ed by Grand Duke Cyrille. The ezar did not dance the Russian maxurka, which is the feature of the court balls, but instead he moved about and con versed with the diplomats. While speaking with Ambassador Mccormick his majesty took occasion to renew the assurances of his warm friendship for the United States.
 During the evening Count Lausdorff, the foreign minister, drew M. Kurino, the Japanese minister, into window embrasure. where the two talked ear nestly for half an hour. This incident attracted general attention.
 In the course of the evening Spencer F. Eddy, secretary of the American embassy. was presented to the czacina.
 A grand supper at which 5000 guests sat down was laid at midnight.
 In spite of the expressed hope of the Russian authorities that the present crisis will be passed and that pacific solution of the Russo-Japanese nego- tiations will be reached, it is no longer concealed that Russia is practically preparing for eventualities by the mob iliZation of the Manchurian reserves.
 1t has been well known for months that Russia has been steadily strength
 
 ening her army and navy in the far east to meet the preparations which Japan was openly making. The avail able warships were dispatched to the far east and the last division, which left the Mediterranean a month ago. is now nearing its destina tion. Quiet ly, but surely, it was necessary that Russia's preparations should keep pace with those of her diplomatic adversa- ry. The feverish activity of Japan during the last few weeks naturally increased the distrust of her ultimate intentions and the Russian authori- ties have been pushing their precau- Honary measures with more vigor.
 The draft of Russia's reply probably will be submitted to the czar today.
 The Russian press agrees that treaty guarantees covering Manchuria and permission for Japan to fortify south ern Korea, making closed sea of the sea of Japan, are impossible.

ADGIES LIONS.

Two large audiences welcomed Mile. Adgie and her three ferociouS lions at the Jacques yesterday, and again were they thrilled with the same marvellous scenes that made such sensation here last season. sAdgie's work ill the den is practically the same that she showed last year. since it is impoSsi- ble, as she herself says, to teach these wild beasts anything more than na- ture prompts them to do tn the way of running and leaping and snarling. In so far as these features go, how ever, Adgie has her lions trained to perfection, and the way they run and leap and spit at, her is wonderfulty startling and extremely fascinating To watch There is always the possihili ty of the animals turning OH the brave young woman while she is in the cage with them and it is this ever present danger that makes the act so thrilling ly attractive to the spectators The lions are not in any sense meekly dO- cile to the will of Mile Adgie; one need only watch them as they go sul- lenly about the work she cuts out for them to realize that they yield only because her mastery of them is com piete. It is tremendously exciting to watch the act. and one can readily un- derstand in watching Adgie i'll the t.en why the act has become the big geSt sensation ever contrived for the vaudeville stage. There will un- doubtedly be lively interest in Adgie and her beautiful lions during the week, and the Jacques ought to be a very popular place while they are there. An excellent vaudeville bill is provided in addition, particularly good being Arthur \. W'hitelaw's stories of Paris as an Irishman saw it. "The Two Juliets'' as played by the Misses Meeville and Fillmore, and the singing act of Reidy and Currier. Others on the bill are MT and Mrs Jimmy Barry, Baby Lund, the Kingsburys, and the electrograph. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
