Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, August /, 1907.
Lena Ashwell, who was taken i'll last sea-
son while playing THE Shulamite in
America and obliged to cancel what re-
manned of her tour tells ma she is anxious
to make another trip across the water be-
fore long. When she goes back again,
however, she hopes to head her own COM
pany and be her own manager, and before
attempting this in the United States she
proposes TO have another try for what are
known as stellar honors'' in her own coun-
try.
This determination of Miss Ashwell's in
dicates persistence, at all events, for no less
than three former attempts Of hers In a
similar direction have ended in comparative
failure. The first Of these was made nearly
four years ago, or just after the actress
really prodigious success as the heroine in
Mrs. Danes Defense" Encouraged by the
plaudts that were showered upon her, Miss
Ashwell took a well-known London play
house and there produced a new and am
bilious play especially written for her by
the author OF Mrs. Dane" Henry Arthur
Jones' Unluckily. however, Chance, the
Idol" as it was called did not appeal to the
public here and was withdrawn after COM
paratvely few performances.
Undaunted, the actress had another try,
though not IN London this time. She &C.
quired from Michael Morton adaptation
of one of Rejane's successes and put 1t on
in the provinces, but the fates were again
unpropitious and the actress was obliged
to abandon for a time her dreams of man
agement." 1t was only for tme how
ever. for after playing long engagement
and making big hit in Leah Kleschna"
at the New Theater, Miss Ashwell had yet
another go on her own hook The time the
scene of her experiment was the Savoy
! where Mrs. Brown Potter had just come to
grief. and evidently there was hoodoo in
permanent residence at this playhouse, for
''Ninon de FEnclos," the costume drama by
Clio Graves, which Miss Ashwell put on, did
not last more than a fortnight.

With 1.-THE Shulamite" her luck was a

New York City for His Health
Carpenter BY Trade.

Robert Sinclaire died at $3.50 o'clock
last night at St Vineona's Hosr al.
III succumbed TO tuberculosis with
which he had been a sufferer for sew
eral years. About a year ago he came
to this city in search of health and
while here worked at his trade Of car

tracted a severe cold which settled
upon his lungs and since that time he
had failed steadily. When his condi'
ton became serious he was removed

children in New York City where he
had lived prior to coming to Santa

Mrs. Sinclaire was advised in tele-

body is now being held pending word
from her as to it's disposal. 1t will

HALF MILLION
JOIN IN REVOLT
France Must Deal
With S Serious
Strike
WINE GROWERS IN UPRISING
Led BY One of Own Number
They Are Likely to Cause
Big Revolution.

Paris June l0.-The revolt OF the
wine growing population of South
France, which went into effect today
is causing considerable apprehension
in government circles. BY the terms
of the strike resolutions which half
million people at Mont Pelier yester'
day swore with uplifted hands to exc.
cute, all departmental, city, town and
communal officials must resign today
and the inhabitants will refuse ia
pay taxes unless Parliament affords
them relief. Marcellin Albert, the
leader of the movement, was until
two months ago an obscure wine
grower of Argeliers, but now he is
acclaimed "redeemer."
Serious Revolution Not Unlikely.
Albert has proved himself born
leader and it is realized that among
the hoJ-blooded people Of South
France such might fire a
formidable revolution. The depres
sion is due to over production and the
government bill for the suppression
of the manufacture of fraudulent wine
and that there will be no adequate
remedy for the existing conditions.

upon percentage of receipts as in
New Mexico, but is graded upon pop.
ulaton. Mr.. Davies has visited Las
Vegas and this city and this evening
will go to Albuquerque and will visit
other parts of the Territory. He is
greatly pleased with Santa Fe, its eli
mate and conditions.
Mr.. Davies is one of party of three

merce of Dodge City, an old and re.
spected citizen, and Louis Loebner, a

of heart interest and it Is based upon
a miracle credited to the Holy Moth
er. De Vargas who was a dashing
cavalier was selected to head an army
dispatched from Spain to effect the
recapture of New Mexico. In 1850
Pueblo Indians who had been friend
ly to the Spanish settlers suddenly
went on the war path and either mas
sacred or drove out of the country all
of the Spaniards. Twelve years had
elapsed before this attempt to recon.
quer New Mexico. The expeditionary
force numbered about three hundred
soldiers, and some of them were ac
companed by their families.
The little army was not molested
by the Indians on the march to Santa
Fe from FL Paso del Norte. When
Santa F'e was reached it was found to
be strongly fortified by the Indians
but instead of attacking the city at
once the Spaniards halted at what are
now the sites of the National and Ro-
sario Cemeteries. Historians differ
as to whether or not there was an
actual fight with the Indians. However
according to tradition handed down
from generation to generation De Var.
gas in despair of ever subduing the
Indians threw himself upon his knees
and prayed feryently imploring the
intercession in his behalf of the Vir.
gin Mary. He made a solemn vow
that if his little band was victorious
over the Indians he would erect a
chapel on the spot where he knelt
in her honor. To their amazement
when the following morning daWned
the Spaniards beheld no sign OF the
horde of Indians that had hidden them
defiance. The Indians had slipped out
from the city during the night and
were miles away by that time. True
to his promise De Vargas caused tc
be built the little adobe chapel thai
now stands in Rosario Cemetery and
to which the statue of the Virgin Mary
is borne annually by grateful and de
vout descendants of the early Span
iards.
