Mexican Ports Barred.

The Mexican government has issued strict
orders that no use shall be made of gulf
ports, especially those Of Yucatan, as a
base of supplies for the Cuban revolution
ists Cuban Minister Rivero has been ac-
tive in his efforts to prevent the revolu-
tionists from receiving assistance from their
sympathizers in that country.
According to Senior Al,heida, charge DAFT
faires of the Cuban legation in this city,
there is nothing in the situation in Cuba at
present calling for the Intervention of the
United States government He is quoted
as saying that nothing has occurred during
the short life Of the insurrection to warrant
the assumption that the Cuban government
is not fully capable of successfully coping
with the insurrectos. He points out that
the businesslike manner in which President
Palma is securing arms and ammunition
from New York indicates that an imme
diate campaign will be prosecuted to a sue
cessful conclusion.
The Cuban charge asserts that an exag-
gerated idea of the magnitude of the insur-
rection seems to prevail in this country
through published reports of the successes
of the revolutionists in capturing couple
of small towns.
In the opinion of Senior Padro the insur-
rection was inspired and is encouraged by
the hope of United States Intervention, and
he predicts that the interests OF United
States citizens in Cuba will be purposely
ttopardixed In order to compel President
Roosevelt to send Wacahips to the island.

Ringing Bros. Complete Deal for
Forepaugh Sells Aggre-
cation.
HAD BEEN HALF OWNERS
New Alignment in the Circus Business
Promised Next Sea-
son.

A deal opened early in the present
week was completed in this city yester-
day whereby the Ringing Bros. take
over in its entirety the shows that ap-
peared here travelling under the name
of Forepaugh-Sells Bros. The pur-
chasers have for some time held half
interest. the other being held by the
Bailey heirs, and two of the brothers
have been in active management of
the aggregation 1t is the plan of the
Ringlings to add to this show and the
one travelling under their own name
and enter a new agreement with the
Barnum & Bailey interests for division
of the country. 1t is expected that
Wallace will also join the syndicate
next year and the territory will be ap-
portioned so that the war that has
been waged this season will be brought
to a close. The Barnum & Bailey in
tercsts own the Buffalo Bill attraction
now in Europe and the five shows I'M
der the three arrangements will here
after practically have the field in
America
The Forepaugh-Sell shows were
bought by Mr.. Bailey some years ago to
leave in this country when he took the
Barnum & Bailey shows to Europe, the
heirs selling in turn half interest to
the Ringlings upon Mr. Bailey's death
and the joint ownership has continued
to this time. Because of the fact that
the Barnum & Bailey show is financed
by English capital it is not considered
likely that there will be further con-
solidation for some time to come. Mr..
Harris, personal representative of the
Bailey heirs, was here yesterday to
close the deal with the Ringlings.
Get big Night Crowd.
Again last evening the Forepaugh-
Sells Bros. circus attracted thousands
to the grounds on Ninth street, where
the excellent performance of yesterday
afternoon was repeated. The perform
ance included the usual aerial trapeZe
and swing acts, bareback ring perform
ances. tumbling. and balancing stunts,
and the hippodrome races, but in addi-
ton spectacular numbers were pre-
scented. The scene by the fire fighters
was enjoyed.
The bicycle ride by Diavo, the slack
wire performances. the antics of the
tally-ho party, and the exhibition of
the performing seals were features of
the program.
Even before the performance
closed in the evening the army
of attaches had removed all
of the smaller tents and equipment,
and "a large crowd watched the work
of removing the tents and loading the
circus on the trains at the foot of Sew
enteenth street.
