De Madrid
Para ell Bo1ErIN MERcANr1L.

Nadie Sc acuerda de Santa Barbara
hasta que truena, y digo este, porque
hasta ahora no Sc haban acordado las
autoridades de Madrid de asegurar pa
IA en- caso de fuego los multiples tea
troS de la corte.
Ahora estan en- ello-Iy por quE2-
Pues porque han visto 6 leido la catSs-
trofe de Chicago.
No hace muchos dias Sc reuni6 la
Junta provincial de teatrcs, bajo Ia pre-.
sidencia del gobernador.
Sc acord6 en- dicha junta Ia necesi-
dad de que las empresas de teatroS
pongan en- parte visible diversas sefia-
les indicando de modo claro y muy os-
tensible las puertas de salida, asl como
tambien la buena disposition para e!
manejo de los telones metalicos y los
de aqua.
En- ell teatro Espafiol Sc hicieron fun
clones antes de aver dichos telones de
seguridad.
Ell gobernador tiene gran interGs de
que todas st1s dispcsiciones sean cum
plidas por las empresas de todos los
teatros, y especialmente, seg1n s1guien
ha dicho, por los de aquellos donde Sc
cultiva el gfneyo fnfnso, pres segdn
dicen que el mismo ha dicho, en- estos
teatros, donde reina Ia mas alta inmo-
ralidad hay mas propension a los in
cezRi0s.
Son infnitos los proyectos que para
Ia seguridad del espectador han: sido
presentados.
Uno de lellos consiste en- entregar,
juntamente con Ia localidad, una Pc.
quefa regadera con aqua q cada espec-
tadcr.
Otro, en- co1ocar un dep6sito de aqua
sobre cada una de las bS1tacas. La per-
soma que en- ella este sentada, podra,
con solo hacer preston sobre una cade-
ma que con el deposito comunica, ro-
deaTse de una aureola acuAtica y, por
ende, de Ia seguridad necesaria
Tambien Sc ha propuesto que los ac-
torres sslgan a la escena prcvistos de
picoS, escalas, cuerdas = demas acceso-
rios relatives al salvamento.
va Sc han expuesto en- los escapara-
ties de los comercios de esta villa trajeS
para espectadoreS. Y en- los saloncil 'os
de todos los coliseos Sc ha lefdo, desde
aver, un bando, por el cual Sc exige 4
los actores, tramoyistas y demas en-
pleados de telon q dentro, el mayor
respeto hacia las mangas de riego, i'm
poniendose muy dura multa al que Sc
atreva hacer t1n corte de estas.
Las seguridades en- los teatros de gf-
nero fzJfmO tendran que ser dobles que
en- los demAs teatros, pues. como es sa-
bido, en- aquellos el pdblico Sc acalora
mas.
Desde que Sc han dictado todas estas
6rdenes, los empresarios de Apollo y de
La Zarzuela, Sc apresuran ensayar
las tan conc cidas como h1medas Ear
zuelas. Aqua, "AzucarilIos y Aqua

Recovery.

Washington, Feb 8-Senator Han
ma passed Sunday without any radical
change in his condition. His extreme
weakness was more marked than here
tofore and his temperature was little
higher. Those attending him, however,
insist there is nothing significant in
these conditions and that there are no
developments on which to change their
expressed belief that the outlook is hope
full for the senator's recovery. There
was a consultation of DR.. Rixey and
two out of town physicians during the
day, but the only important development
that transpired as to the consultation
was that it had been decided to omit the
evening call of the attending physician
SO as to give the patient more rest. The
consultation was held about four o'clock
in the afternoon. Those who partici-

Washington, Feb. S.-Mr. Powell, the
American minister at San Domingo, has
cabled the state department under date
of February 1, confirming the press dis
patches regarding the assassination of
j. G. Johnston, an engineer on the gun
boat Yankee. The cruiser Columbia has
left San Domingo for Guantanamo. The
| Hartford has left Puerta Plata for the
same place. 1t it probable that both
these vessels will return to Dominican
waters. While no definite instructions
have been cabled Minister Powell, it is
stated that the American commanders
will make every effort to apprehend the
parties responsible for the assassination
and if captured they will be forthwith
disposed of as bandits.
Washington, Feb. 8.-"Send full
particulars about assassination of
Johnston" is the substance of ca

pated beside DR.. RiXey, the surgeon gen.
eral of the navy, who is the regular at
tending physician, were Dr. Osler, the
expert diagnostician of Johns Hopkins
university of Baltimore, and DR.. Brewer
Of New York, who has frequently at
tended Senator Hanna in New York and
who is familiar with his general condi-
ton. Immediately after the consulta-
ton the following bulletin was issued:
Senator Hanna is doing well. His
morning temperature was little higher,
but the hearts action is good and there
Fare nO@complicatiOns.
1t was announced that DR.. Edward
Perkins Carter, Of Cleveland, Senator
Hanna's family physician, will reach
here to-day at the request of the senator.
DR.. Carter will remain at the Arlington
hotel where the senator's apartments
are located.
A Restless Night.
The senator was very restless Satur-
day night and gained little sleep. This,
together with the general course of the
fever, it is stated, accounts for his weak
er condition and increased nervousness
Sunday. The physicians explain that it
is to be expected that the fever will in
crease until the crisis is passed, but they
do not make any definite date when that
crucial point will be reached.
The senator is taking no nourishment
except milk. He is too weak to talk ex-
cept an occasional few words to those
who are attending him, Mrs. Hanna and
Miss Phelps, his niece, being the only
ones permitted to see him. besides the
physicians and trained nurses. Mrs.
Hanna has been a steady attendant AZ
his beside and shows the effects of the
strain she is undergoing. She took
long drive Sunday afternoon, which ap-
parently benefited her. Miss Phelps re-
NAMED at the apartments SO as to be
present in case her services were needed.
The senator frequently asks for his
secretary, Elmer Dover, but pretexts
have been used to shift his attention
from business matters. Mr.. Dover had
expected to go to Chicago to attend an
important meeting of subcommittee
of the republican national committee,
but remained here on account OF the
senator's condition. Mr.. Hanna was not
told the reason for Mr.. Dover's remaining
here and believes that it was due to i'll
ness in his secretary's family. He has
made frequent inquiries upon this
point and Mr.. Dover, to avoid having the
senator's attention focused on business
matters, has found it necessary to avoid
seeing the senator except once since the
illness reached a serious stage. On that
occasion the senator showed that he was
devoting considerable thought to bust
ness cares and question about one mat
ter concerning which he wanted to give
instructions led him to make numerous
other inquiries. 1t is this me2tal effort
which those attending him are earnestly
striving to avoid.
