THE CRAZY ROUSSEAU
His Explanation of the Blowing up
 of the Maine.

New York, March 2S.-That the bat tleship Maine. through an error, was destroyed by a bomb Of his manufacc ture, was the statement made by Cess Ter Rousseau in the Tombs prison to- day. Rousseau was convicted yester- day of having sent explosives to the Cunard line pier in thls city last May.
 Rousseau said that during the early part of 1897 he left St. Louis for Jack sonville, Florida, to see what he could do to aid the Cuban revolutionists against Weyler. There he constructed two bombs of tremendous power with time explosive attachment. These he turned over to the Cuban leaders who were at Jacksonville planning a filibustering expedition. At his sug- gestion they decided Co take the bomhs to Havana to blow up Spanish ships there. The bombs were arranged so that they could be exploded below the water line. By a mistake man in at tempting to fasten a. bomb to a Span- ish ship at night. attached it to the Maine and blew up the warship After learning his error the man committed suicide. Rousseau says ne has a list of the men who were in che plot.

Woodwards Pavilion, San Francisco, March 2S.-Marvin Hart was awarded the decision over Jack Johnson in the twenty round contest tonight that went the limit hut he was far from demon strating that he is qualified to meet Jim Jeffries. Hart was as badly pun ished 2 m-n as has been seen in the ring for a long time, but he was game to the core and kept boring into the big colored man all through the fight.
 JOhnson's much vaunted cleverness did not count for much. While he was able to hit Hart frequently, his blows did not seem to damage the white man from Kentucky. Hart managed to deal the only effective blow in the eleventh round when he landed a right swing on JOhnson's jaw that staggered the black man and nearly knocked him over./

AN EXCELLENT COMPANY
danfOrd Engagement Closed at the
 HardwiCK Last Night.

The engagement of Charles B. Han ford and his most excellent company closed last night at the Hardwick with an almost incomparable presentation of Othello. MT. Hanford in the con ception of the title role which neces- sarily precedes a proper delineation, is almost above criticism and in point of physique the character seems al most created for him. In those scenes where the controlling passions of the Moor swept everything before, the au- dience was fully en rapport, almost breathless, while there was no part of the performance that failed to in- terest or command the closest atten- tion.
 Miss Drofnah as Desdemona fulfilled the requirements of the unhappy and unfortunate woman who paid with her life for an honest love dishonored by the machinations or the villain Iago The part of Iago was well handled by MT. Hennig, and Miss Flight as his wife, Emilia, not only earned special recognition in one or two strong scenes, but it was generally rendered to her. Edouard D'Oize as Cassie was good and indeed the entire company seems to have been selected with
 
 ever popular stage tragedy which is the heavy piece of MT. Hanford's pres ent repertoire.
 At the matinee performance, Don Caesar de Bazan proved a most en- tertaining bill. The play is in delight full contrast to the heavy work of the evening performance but though it is for the most part a roaring comedy and in the lightest vein, there are sit nations that call for the heroic and that afford excuse for the rich cos tuning and acoutrements of the court in days when men lived more by the sword and by the achievements of bloody valor. than through the diplom- acy of the present day.
 Don Caesar though ruined in purse, had a wealth of personal carelessness that in the presentation of Mir Han ford, shows forth much of virtue. His very contempt for death and the fast | approaching hour of his supposed ex- ecution and his impressive philosophy | )f making the best of whatever situa- | ion he found himself in, no doubt won | Jim the friends that preserved his life |

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-07-13

Says the esteemed Advertiser: 1.-THE
Stars plea for a car sheriff on Ha-
wall is designed to have a farther
reach. But it happens that the coun-
ty law did not intend to create czar
sheriffs and for that reason gave the
supervisors a final say in the matter of
police appointments. 1t is possible
that the supervisors Of Hawaii stretch
ed a point in favor of themselves IN
the bout with Keolanui, but that was
to save time, for in the end neither
Keolanui nor any other sheriff can
have men on the force of whom the
supervisors do not approve" The Star
doesn't want any czar sheriffs in Ha-
wall or anywhere alse. In fact The
Star has done some rather strenuous
fighting of czars and the czar idea In
both politics and government, recently.
However, the Advertiser is in the main
right. In saying that the Hawaii
supervisors Stretched point in favor
of themselves in the bout with Keo-
lanui" it goes quite as far in criticism
of the board as The Star went, u

difficulties as have appeared in the
County of Hawaii must be worked out.
The law may not make this point as
clear as it might, indeed the law may
be defective on this point-this is not
a discussion of the construction of the
law. But it will no doubt be found
that when this idea of coordination is
once fully grasped, there will either be
no difficulty about the construction of
the law, or it's amendment to secure a
practical working.
