effort toward that reality which is ideal
and poetic, and so more true -than reality
itself. In the second act of “Friends” the
whole of. the action and interest revolves
about a scene which for boldness and
originality has seldom been equalled

St. Petersburg, Feb. 10.—A dispatch
to Novoe Vremya, from Vladivostock,
says the 'insurrection against Japanese
rule in the island of Formosa is spread-
ing. Ten thousand1 rebels are reported to-
be operating against Tamsu'i, Suncho and
Kosuki. The railroads and telegraph
lines have been torn up and destroyed.
The rebels fight with great courage, and
the -situation is looked upon as being seri-
ous. Governor General Cajaima is ill,
and will be replaced by Sa'igo, minister
of marine.

NEW ORLEANS MINT.
Opposition to Its Operation by the Friends
of Other Mints.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 6.—The subcom-
mittee of the house committee on appro-
priations, which has now under considera-
tion the legilatlve, executive -and judicial
-appropriation bill, in which is -contained
the appropriation for -operating the New
Orleans mint during next fiscal year, is
said to bear considerable hostility to this
appropriation. Representative Bingham of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, is represented to be using his in-
fluence to strike out the New Orleans mint
appropriation, with -the view of closing
the place and thereby furnishing addition-
al work to the Philadelphia mint. Direc-
tor Preston of the mint bureau is also
said to be none too friendly to the New
Orleans mint. He appeared before the
committee a few days -ago and made a
statement in which he laid particular
stress upon the fact that the operation of
this mint consisted chiefly in the coinage
of uncurrent subsidiary silver pieces, lit-
tle or no gold bullion finding its way there
for mintage. Fortunately the distance
from the source of supply of uncurrent
silver money to New Orleans is in favor
of the latter mint, and the friends of the
New Orleans mint had no trouble in point-
ing out the -superior -advantages -of the
New Orleans mint as a base of opera-
tions, if but from the single standpoint of
economy in transportation. Representative
Robertson, who is hopeful of overcoming
the opposition, will feel easier, however,
when - the bill with the appropriation in
it is reported by the full committee. A
fight 'is also being made upon the appro-
priations for the maintenance of the' sur-
veyor-general offices throughout the coun-
try. Representative Robertson thinks he
will be able to hold unchanged the New
Orleans appropriation in the bill, but in
the western states a material cut will be
made.

HAWAII’S REPUBLIC UNCER-
TAIN.
‘San Francisco, Cali., Feb. 10.—Julie D.
iHayne, editor of the Hawaiian, a month-
ly magazine published at Honolulu, ar-
rived here on ‘the steamship Australia.
He takes a very pessimistic view of the
present government in Hawaii and says
the Japanese are becoming so numerous
there and so deeply rooted that islands
■are in 'danger of becoming mere outposts
of Japan.
“The 30 gentlemen who- in 1893 stood
■god-fathers to the infant republic and who
find themselves in the beginning of 1896
the only support of Hawaii’s provisional
government are most uneasy. I say pro-
visional government because that is ah
it is as yet. With the utter failure of the
effort to reconcile the native Hawaiians
to disfranchisement, the -sudden a.ggres«
sive action of the Japanese residents and
the independent stand taken by the Chi-
nese agriculturists, the situation is any-
thing but comfortable.
“The government is like a business
house threatened by bankruptcy. The
■crisis may be delayed, but not for long.
There is -a monthly deficit of $40,000, and
the people are rapidly losing faith in the
power of the men at the helm.”

WILLIS WOULDN’T CELEBRATE.
-San Francisco, Cali., Feb. 10.—Adives
■from Honolulu say that unless Secretary
Olney apologizes for the actiou of Min-
ister Willis that official may be given his
passport soon. The trouble -grew out of
■an invitation issued by the Hawaiian for-
eign office to the diplomatic corps to par-
ticipate in the national holiday, January
17, the anniversary of the overthrow oi
the monarchy. Willis refused to take
part in the celebration on the ground
that President Cleveland did not approve
of the manner in which the monarchy
was overthrown.
CECIL RHODES.
London, Feb. 10.—Hon. Cecil Rhodes,
former premier of Cape Colony, started
for Buluwayo, South Africa, today.
LACK ONLY SALT.
Constantinople, Feb. 10.—Negotiations
for the surrender of Zeitoun, which place
■is held by Armenian's, to the Turkish au-
thorities '-continue. The forein consuls
there informed the Armenians that their
principal purpose in visiting Zeitoun was
to watch the -couirse of -events, and were
unable to guarantee safety upon any
conditions.
The Turkish troops besieging the town,
mainly composed of reserves, are ill-fed,
and many are deserting. The main body
of Turks -have retreated to Marash. The
only article of provisions lacked by the
Armenians is salt.
This delicious beer has caught the
connoisseurs, who pronounce it just
the thing for this climate.

DISSATISFIED TURKS.
Constantinople, Feb. 10.—Renewed ac-
tivity has been -noticed -among the
Turkish party, and the police in con-
sequence are taking stringent meas-
ures to prevent disorder. Several
leaders of this party 'were arrest-
ed ■Saturday, including Mahmud Rey,
son of iMuktar Pasha, Ottoman commis-
sion. Many of the young Turks and
others are dissatisfied with the re-ap-
proachment recently arrived at between
Turkey and Russia.
FRENCH CLAIMS.
New York, N. Y., Feb. 10.—A dispatch
to the Herald from Valparaiso says:
Your correspondent is informed that an
agreement has been reached by the min-
ister of foreign affairs and the French
minister in -Santiaga de Chile by which
all claims of citizens of France against
the Chilian government will be cancelled
for the sum of £5000. It is said that this
is a very -small amount in view of the
-many claims advanced.
CONSULAR GENERAL.
Johannesburg, Feb. 10.—The condition
of consular affairs -here is very bad. A
quarrel between Acting Consul Knight
and Consular Agent Manion is causing
trouble to all United States citizens in
the Transvaal, and this slate of things
is very ‘detrimental to the position of
John Hays Hammond. Whatever is
done in the ma tter -should be done quick-
ly. In such a.’crisis every hour lost adds
to the danger.
TRANSVAAL INDEPENDENCE.
Pretoria, Feb. 10.—It is authoritative-
ly announced that the Transvaal desires
no European protectorate; urges Great
Britain to guarantee the independence of
the country, and suggests that Delgoa
bay, a Portuguese possession, be per-
manently granted to the Transvaal.
AUTHORITY REVOKED.
London, Feb. 10.—The government has
revoked the authority granted to the
British South African co-mpany to- rule
over the Ikalining and Montsio-a dis-
tricts of South Africa

landers, claiming $100,000 damages, for
breach of promise of marriage, which
was to have been tried today before
Judge Russell -and a special jury, has
been settled out of court. Miss Suther-
land, who had previously refused $15,000
to settle the ease, has withdrawn the
case upon payment of $25,000. The- case
was expected to furnish much interest-

PLEA FOR -RECOGNITION.
'Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 10.—The Rec-
ord today publishes an appeal to the
American people, signed by President
Betancourt of the provisional govern--
meat of Cuba, craving recognition for the
insurgents. Says the appeal:
“All w-e wish now is to be looked upon
by the government of the United States
as men and soldiers battling for their
birthright. We do not wish to appear
in the eys of the world like bandits and
rebels.”
After rehearsing in detail the struggle
for freedom, the -appeal continues: “We
ask the American people to grant us
through their president and congress
those rights of belligerency to- which, ac-
cording to the laws of war -and of na-
tions, we are entitled. Our armies have
marched whither they might throughout
the -entire island and for weeks have
threatened the stronghold of Spain’s
power in Cuba.
“Must we capture Havana and drive
■Spain’s hirelings across the sea before
w-e are even given the right as men to
fight for that precious gift which God
■destined should be universally divided
among his children? Must we gain our
independence before 'we are accorded the
sanction of the 'world to labor for it? Is
Spain entitled to any consideration of a
moderation by a civilized and highly pro-
gressive nation? Does her misrule of
Cuba for a century commend her to the
hearts and minds of -men? Are her hire-
lings here to lift up and educate the Cu-
ban and make his beloved island pros-
perous?
“Cuba, the bleeding, appeals to her
American sisters. .She does it in the
name of God, justice, civilization and of
America.”

■scene of intense dramatic interest, and in
the hands of Mr. Lucius Henderson proves
a surprising triumph. Mr. Henderson is a
pupil -of the famous master Joseffy and
gained, a prominent position on 'the con-
cert stage before he found he could act as
well as play, when he decided -to finally
■adopt -the dramatic profession. The sec-
ond act of “Friends” is handsomely
staged; everybody in full evening dress.
The young musician is introduced, and
sitting down to a grand piano he executes
Gottschalk’s “Pasquinade,” Liszt’s “Sixth
Rhapsodie,” and the “Swedish Wedding
-March” with .a delicacy of expression and
in -such a masterly manner -as to charm, all
true lovers of music. .
“Friends” scored a decided artistic suc-

will be played at the Grand tonight, to-

inn tic a letter recently addressed to his
majesty by Queen Victoria, expressed
'sympathy with tlhe humane sentiments
conveyed in the queen’s communication,
but declares the reports of mass-acres of
Armenians by Turks have originated
with ill-disposed persons. The Turks,
the sultan says, were first attacked by
the Armenians, while they were praying
in their mosques, and -did no more than
defend themselves the best they could in
every part of Asia Minor. Everything
now" is perfectly tranquil, except iu
Zeitoun, and negotiations for the sur- j
South Bend, Ind., Feb. 10.—Dr. L. A.
'Hines, for a (short 'time -surgeon in- the
Cuban army, has ju-st returned home and
gave an insight into- the rel condition of
affairs. He joined Maceo’s army early
in January, -and was captured while- in
charge of .the field hospital in San Felipe.
He says the only way the insurgents
can hope to win is by prolonging the
struggle until Spain becomes exhausted
and 'sells the island or gives it away.
The -Spanish army is composed almost
exclusively of boys unused to hardships.
They are ragged, overworked, and suffer-
ing from the terrible tropic heat and yel-
low fever.
The prevailing notion that Cuba’s ar-
mies are full of Americans is a mistake.
Dr. Hines did not see or tear of another
American while he was with the insurg-
ents, as (the climate is such that no Am-
erican could campaign with the insurgents
and live.
The Spanish hospital at Havana has
now nearly 100 yellow fever victims, and
the season is only begun. None .will get
well. Shortly after a man gets- the fever
he begins to curl up like -a withering leaf,
a nd as soon as his head and feet -touch
he dies.
The negro- leader, Maceo, is des-cribed
as a man of wonderful will power, and
his 'army is -composed of negroes who
idolize 'him. He was in Spain- when the
war broke out and chartered a vessel to
take him to Cuba; The Spanish govern-
ment offered $10,000 for the delivery of
Maceo into the -hands of one of the men-
of-war off the coast of Venezuela. The
captain of the vessel accepted, but the
astute and fierce negro caught on, and
when off -tihe coast of Cuba he killed, the
captain and mate and ran the vessel
ashore himself.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 10.—William
H. Crain, representative in congress
from the Eleventh district of Texas, and
a member of that body since the Forty-
ninth congress, died at -his home here at
4 o’clock this morning.
William H. Crain, of Cuero, was born at
Galveston, Tex., Nov. 25, 1848; graduated
at St. Francis Xavier’s college, New York
City, July 1, 1867, and received the degree
of A. M. several years afterwards; studied
law in the -office of Stockdale & Proctor,
Indianola, and was admitted -to practice in
February, 1871; has practiced law since
■that time; was elected as the Democratic
candidate for district attorney of the
Twenty- third judicial district of Texas in
November, 1872; was elected a state sen-
ator on the Democratic -ticket in February,
1876; was elected to the Forty-ninth, Fif-
tieth, Fifty-first, Fifty-second and Fifty-
third congresses and re-elected to the Fif-
ty-fourth congress, as a Democrat, re-
ceiving 17,946 votes against 16,089 votes for
V. Wel-den, Populist.
Colonel George P. Finlay, collector of
customs at Galveston, furnishes The Tri-
bune with the following sketch of Mr.
Crain:
William Henry .Crain was born in Gal-
veston of Irish parentage. I was ac-
quainted with his grandfather and his
father and mother. The latter is still liv-
ing in Galveston. He was educated at -a
-Catholic college in New York city, receiv-
a regular collegiate education, and among
his friends he w-as considered a most ex-
cellent scholar. During the four years of
■the war he was at this college, and at the
close of the war he returned to Texas, set-
tling at Indianola, where he read law with
Stockd-ale and Proctor. In 1869 or 1870 he
was admitted to -the bar. A born politi-
cian, in the contest between the Democrat-
ic and Republican parties in 1872-3 he
aligned himself with the Democratic party
and in the first free election after the suc-
cess -of the- party in -these ye-ars he was
nominated and elected district attorney
for the district then composed of Victoria,
Calhoun, Jack-son, Goliad, Bee, Aransas
and Nueces counties. He held this office
for two terms and -made a most brilliant,
record -as a prosecutor. At -the close of
his second term he was nominated and
elected, to the state senate, and during
the years 1874, 1875 and 187^, served in the
legislature at Austin. During the latter
period he resided at Cuero, but in ’87 or ’88
he removed to Hallettsville and formed a
law partnership with S. C. Patton. After
.residing there for two or three years he
returned to Cuero and continued in the
practice -of law in partnership with Ru-
dolph Kleberg. In 1884 he became -a can-
didate for congress and was elected from
what was known as -the “shoestring” dis-
trict, reaching from Galveston on -the east
to Eagle Pass on the west, -and including
the Rio Grande counties. From 1884 until
the present he has been biennially elected
to congress, and at the time of his death
was serving his sixth term.
He leaves a family consisting of his wife
and four children, the eldest of whom, a
boy, is now about 21 years of age. Mr.
Crain married at Indianola a Miss Mitch-
ell, who -is a sister of the Hon. Mr. Mitch-
ell, present representative in the legisla-
ture from Victoria county.
In religion Mr. Crain was a Catholic,
and -as several counties in the western
portion of his district were originally set-
tled by Irish Catholics he was -a universal
pet in that section. Mr. Crain was a fine
classical scholar and linguist, robust in
form and health, handsome in -appear-
ance, fluent in diction, and was by far the
most popular orator in southwest Texas.
He was eminently social in his disposi-
tion and -adhered unflinchingly to his
friends. Had he lived he had a bright fu-
ture before him in his profession of the
law, he having already determined not to
offer for congress at the next election.
The mother of Mr. Crain is an old resi-
dent of this city. She resides at 1502 Mar-
ket street.
A brother, Charles, lives in Fort Isabel,
near Brown-wood.
