An interesting Revival

Fifteen million copies of the
 Hidden Hand" had been sold before the author, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth died, and possi- oly as many people have seen the play, but there has been a sudden and marked revival of interest in the drama, at least as written by a well known actor, Eugene Moore. He seems to have made truly great melo- drama, from a story that offers big opportunities. The produc- ton at the opera house, Novem- Der 19, is awaited with unusual interest. The attraction is man aged by Fred G. Conrad, who has kept it up to the high stand ard set by Mir. Moore in writing the play.

CROP CONDITIONS. DAMAGE EXAGGERATED
Secretary of Agriculture De- Clares It Has Been Done
 for a Purpose.

Chicago, May 6.-Reports of damage to the crops, owing to the unseason- able weather, and the ravages of bugs, have been greatly exaggerated, and for a purpose, according to James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, who tonight said
 Spring seeding is a little backward on account of the spring weather, but there is plenty of time between now and the last of September to grow a crop of all kinds of grain. We will have warm weather in few days. and don't see what is to prevent a nor nal crop of spring wheat in the United States.
 "As regards Canadian northwest, the reports that this years harvest may be seriously diminished may have some foundation. According to what I re- gard as authentic advices from that re- zion, the weather has been so cold that blowing has been almost impossible. The Canadian farmer has usually left his blowing for the spring, and this year he finds himself in bad predica- ment. In normal year seeding would be about half finished in Manitoba and adjoining provinces, but am told that haven't got the ground ready for the seed, even if the weather was favora- ble for planting.
 However, the Canadian farmer grows but small portion of the total crop of wheat; and am of the opin- ion that the deficiency, if there should be any in that part of the country this year, will hardly be noticed when the harvesting throughout the world has been completed.
 In the southwest there have been numerous rumors for the last three weeks of serious damage wrought by green bugs. These reports of damage to the winter wheat have been gross ly exaggerated.
 "The damage wrought by these in- sects has been local in every instance, and there has not yet been any gen. eral attack
 From my knowledge of the south west, where so much of our winter wheat is grown, the aivices I have at hand lead me to believe that the southwest will have it's usual crop this year. This applies to oats and corn as we'll as to wheat.
 There is considerable grain grown between Washington and Chicago, and from my personal observation of this part of the United States I can state without any reservation that I never in my life saw brighter prospects than are prevailing at the present time"

DEPENDED BY BELL.
Chief of General Stafr Answers Critisms
 of Cuban Propositions.

Washington, D. C., May 6.-The prop osition to greatly increase the rural guard of Cuba, and then when that was abandoned the projected creation of a standing army for the island, have been credited to the army general staff, and as these measures have served to excite much opposition in this coun- try and in Cuba, the staff has been subjected to criticism. General Bell, chief of the staff, to-day in speaking of this matter said.
 After the recent outbreak in Cuba. a Cuban congress passed an act for the increase of the rural guard to 10000 men, and of the artillery to 2,O0O, but up to the arrival of the American forces, no steps had been taken to ex- ecuts the law. Secretary Taft, being of the opinion that Cuba should have q sufficient force to enable its govern ment to maintain itslef, directed that action be taken with view to carry ing out the will of the Cuban con- gress.
 "The provisional governor, therefore, called or General Roderiguez, the com mander of the Cuban force, for a plan of organization, Having received the plan, and desiring an expert opinion upon it, he sent it to me with a re- quest that have some of the genera. staff officers then in Cuba so over the plan with view to perfecting 1t. This was done in conference with General Rodriguez and his assistant, Major Slocum of the United States army.
 "The plan proposed by the general staff was forwarded to the secretary of war by the provisional governor, and the secretary approved 1t, and di- rected that Governor Magoon proceed with it's execution at such time as seemed to him expedient.
 Its publication in Havana was im- mediately followed by storm of pro- test and criticism, mainly from people who did not understand 1t. The clause objected to was copy of the United States law, which defines the national militia, merely asserting that all per- sons between certain ages are liable to military duty.
 Many propositions were immediate ly made by Cuban citizens, and the provisional governor forwarded some of them to Washington. One was a prop osition to leave the rural guard as at present constituted, and add few regiments of regular troops (Cubans) therto, not to constitute part of the rurarl guard or to do police duty The question was never submitted to the general staff, but the original plan was slightly modified by an officer of the insular bureau of the war department at my request in accordance with ideas expressed by the Cuban citizens. for warded this to Secretary Taft, in Cuba, but 1 did not know what action was taken. I think 1t remains in status quo, for so long as American troops remain In Cuba no increase in ths armed forces there is necessary.
 tThe general staff of the United States army has never initiated any proposition connected with the Cuban army. It has confined itself in this instance to doing solely what 1t was requested to do.
