AFI'AIKS IN CUHA. Iiirurmiilliiu of th Munition Kneclvrd by the Stntn Diipitrtnii'iit. WASHINGTON , I ) . C. , May 4. Secretary ( ircsham 1ms received a letter from the United States consul general at Havana , dated April 29. forwarding a cony of the proclamation Issued April 28 by the governor ucneral of Cuba ( already published ) , declar ing the province of Santiago de Cuba in n state of siego. The reason given for the declaration is that some bands of men have risen In arms against the government in the hamlets of Purnlo and Velasco , near the north coast of that province , for the Imme diate suppression of which active military means are now being taken by the govern ment. The consul general says that according to the newspapers these bands number about 100 persons , while rumor gives their number all the way from f > 0 ( ) to TOO men. This letter was the first official information received by IhoStatedeparttmmt with regard to the Cuban trouble. Secretary ( Jreshatn said this morning that no telegrams had como to him today , and ho had not been advised of the reported surren der of the insurgent bands as given in press dispatches. The Sp.mlsh legation hero keeps the clos est watch upon all filibustering movements and never fails to give proper warning to the State department when anything more serious is actually in progress than Cuban Junta pronunciamentos or speeches of Senor Marti. No complaint has been made to the Htato department for many months by the Spanish legation of contemplated violations of neutrality laws In the United States. The commander of the MuUmc. the revenue cut ter stationed off the Florida coast , is under ] general and specific orders to promptly advise the Treasury department of any danger of violation of neutrality laws by filibustering expeditions , and to take im mediate measures for the repression of any auch movements without awaiting for in struction. No report of any contemplated filibustering expedition has been received from the commander of the McLano , and , it Is therefore inferred by the revenue marine odlcials that no movement of the kind has over been in serious contemplation , dispatches from Key West to the contrary notwithstanding.

OP CIIINKSI : HISM > INTS. : Secretary Urrnlmm Sajn Itn tint Heiiii | < ted Wculorn ( lovcrnor * to Hn VlRllnnt. WASHINGTON , D. C. , May 4. Secretary Orcshatn reaffirmed today his statamcnt of yesterday that ho had sent telegrams to governors of the western states , asking them to take precautions against violence to Chinese when the exclusion act takes effect. Ho did not care to state how many or what governors had been asked to take action , but said that the text of the dispatch over his signature given out for publication by Governor Pcnnoyer of Oregon was correct. The secretary declined to comment on the answer sent him by Governor Pennoyer. "The telegrams speak for themselves" ho said. " 1 sent a perfectly respectful message to Governor Pennoyer and received In reply the dispatch which has been given to the press. Kepi'esentatlons had been made to the department that violence might bo done Chinese subjects when the law went into ulTcct and the dispatches were sent as precautionary - cautionary measures. I do not beilove there is any prospect of trouble , but the dispatches were sent nevertheless , to allay apprehen sion. " The sorlous trouble in which the United Stales became Involved through the conflict between the state laws and treaty stipula tions over the killing of Italians in New Orleans and also over the killing of seven Chinese and the wounding of many others at Hock Creek , Wyo. , for which the United States made reparation , induced the ad ministration to take every precaution to avert violence toward Chinese citizens over the enforcement of the exclusion law. Foreign governments have always required - quired explanation from the United States with reference to the paramount authority of a state in regard to crimes com mitted within its boruers , even In cases whore the crimes were not in violation of treaty stipulations. The State department decided to give the Chinese government , in the event of trouble , the assurance that every precaution had ueen taken for the pro tection of Chinese subjects as far as the ad vice and authority of the general govern ment couM go. It will be remembered that President Harrison strongly recommended to congress to pass a law civing the United States courts jurisdiction over olTcnscs against treaty stipulations , committed in the states , but congress declined to adopt the recommendation.

Probably no comedian of the American stage has made such rapid strides in his pro fession as Nat C. Goodwin. .Mr. Good win is hutUl years old. He is a native of Boston. As a boy ho dreamed of being a great tragedian. Ills first appearance was at the Providence , U. I. , theater , then under the management of William Henderson , in No vember , lb7II. His first part was that of Sir George , in a play unknown to this gener ation , called "Tho Bottle. " The youth had plenty of confidence in himself at rehearsal , but when he stepped before the footlights to "Seize the lovely lady , " which , with a short speech , was about all ho had to do , ho was seized with a terrible attack of stage fright ; his tongue was tied to the roof of his mouth , ho could not utter n word. However , ho soon recovered from the depressing effects of the shock and ho went to work with energy and determination to make the position to which ho felt that his talents entitled him. "Hobbies" was his first effort and his work at once attracted the attention of the critics and the public. But there was a lingering trace of burlesque in "Hobbles" which was entirely wiped away in his next play , "Con fusion , " where , in the role of Christopher Blizzard , ho confined himself entirely to the field of genteel comedy. His success In this character was complete and emphatic. So quickly had his fame spread that ho was in vited to appear at the great Cincinnati dra matic festival , at which only actors of estab lished fame were seen. Ho played Modus in "Tlio Hunchback , " and the FirstGravodiggcr in "Hamlet , " receiving cordial praise for his work in botli characters. Then ho played in "Lend Mo Five Shillings" and "Griiigolro" and "Tho Gold Mine , " estab lishing liis versatility as an actor , and proving that ho was equal to the require ments of pure comedy , that ho could touch pathos , as feelingly as ho could Interpret wit and humor. His reputation was now established , and ho made a trip to Kuropo , capturing the critics of London as com pletely us ho had those of his native land. Since then Mr. Goodwin's fame has been constantly increasing , and with each now play ho has revealed now force which had hitherto been unsuspected. Ho has been seen in twenty-eight now parts since ho began his career as a star , and each creation has been original and totally unlike any thing that has gene before. In "A Gilded Fool , " ills latest production , the comedian is said to have the best character ho has yet created , and its success has been so great that ho will present nothing else during this season. SHORTAGE IN PROSPECT. liullrutloiiH tluit the Ho.ird of Kdilciitlou Will Ho Short of Tnnda. According to the prognostications of a member of the Board of ICduoatlon that organization will find itself with a shortage of from $30,000 to SM.OOO at the opening of the school year next fall. It is claimed that unwarrantable extravagance has been shown in the purchase of supplies and that many articles had been purchased ut a price considerably in advance of what the board had been accustomed to pay for the same articles in previous years. For some time the members of the board have been of the opinion that the janitors' salaries were higher in Omaha than in other cities , and several measures were introduced looking toward a radical reduction. A schedule introduced by Mr. Burgess was finally adopted , which promised to effect a saving of about STi.Out ) . Smco then members have made up their minds that as soon as the now buildings are in operation the now schedule will increase the salary list of jani tors instead of decreasing it , as the reduc tions contemplated in the schedule are mostly in det.U'hed buildings , which will stKjn bo abandoned , while the salaries in the larger school buildings are materially in creased. > Vl.uluct IM.in * .

GUY ROBERTS' GREAT SPORT Ho Amused Himself bj Tying Up Lincoln's ' Elcctrio Lines. COST THE COMPANY SEVERAL DOLLARS Secured the Currant from tlio Trnlloy Wire for thn Purpnsn of Knjoylnc n lli- | ) Uj of 1'lroTorkH Wat Not Dlmippolnlod. Xeb. , May 4. [ Special to THB OEE. ] Guy Roberta , son of the minister who created sompthing of a sensation recently by watidcrmg away from homo whllo tempo rarily Insane , distinguished himself yester day afternoon by tying up the Homo Street Railway company's lines as effectually as u molormnif s strike could accomplish for over two hours. Owing to paving operations the Kightccnth street line had been temporarily abandoned , but the trolley wlro was still charged with electricity. Roberts had been suspended from school and concluded to have an embryonic Fourth of July celebration and llroworks. Ho got hold of a piece of wire and wrapping one end around a piece of wood to furnish a handle that was a nonconductor , ho threw the other end over the trolley wire. All that was necessary then to complete the circuit was to jab the cml of the wlro pro truding from the pleco of wood onto the rail , and a brilliant display of flruworks re sulted. Uy doing so , however , ho returned the current back to the power house along the rail , and when it reached the armature there was a display of fireworks that would have pleased young Roberts had ho been present. The interior of the jwwer house was a blaze of light in a moment , and the men had to Hep for their lives. Meanwhile Roberts tired of his amusement and stopped for a few minutes. The engineer , supposing that the fuses were of too soft metal and that that was responsible for the trouble , ran back and placed some now ones in. Sewn after Roberts resumed his jabbing and again them was trouble at the jiowor house. Again the fuses wore burned out and again the engineer replaced them. A third tlmo U happened , and to stop the annoyance it became necessary to cut the main trolley wlro and to send out men to locate the uiniculty. Roberts was found and promptly acknowledged his fault , but gave as his excuse that as no cars were running he thought it wouldn't hurt anything. Ho was not prosecuted. The damage to the company was several hundred dollars. President Alberta * Veto. There seems to bo something of a mis understanding between the leading members of the Afro-American league as to whether the next annual convention shall bo held at Nebraska City or at Omaha. At the con vention a year ago it was decided to hold this year's meeting at Nebraska City and all preparations have been made for the recep tion at that place. Recently , however , some leading spirits of the organization have named Omaha as the meeting place. The following "veto" from President U. F. C. Alberts has been handed to Tun Hue : "Owing to the extent of the preparations of the local league ( Afro-American ) of Ne braska City to entertain the state league at that place , and feeling assured that it would bo a gross injustice to change from Nebraska City to Omaha , under those circumstances I therefore veto the action taken by the ex ecutive committee and issue the call for the fourth annual convention to convene in Ne braska City Juno 1 at 1'J o'clock m. , the rep resentation to be one delegate to every twenty-live members or fraction thereof.

Al Kimorer , a machinist in the employ of the Missouri Pacific , was arrested last night on the charge of grand larceny , but it is probably a case of mistaken Identity. The charge was preferred by Airs. Chris Ander son , who relates that n few weeks ago she temporarily left her rooms at 182.1 O street , and when she returned a few minutes later met two men coming out of the room. She grabbed one , but after a struggle ho getaway away , taking with him a gold watch and some jewelry. I ist evening while walking on O street with her husband she saw If ( merer , and pointed him out to her hus band as the thief. Ho was arrested , but is now out on ? " 00 bail.

Lewis and the City of Lincoln are in the throes of litigation over who owns the greater part of South Twenty-seventh street or that part immediately adjoining the Lewis homestead. Today Lewis secured an in junction restraining the street commissioner from tearing down his fences and tearing up his walks for the purpose of relaying the lat ter where ho thinks the lot line resides when it is at home. Lewis claims that he has held uninterrupted possession for ten years and the city has no right to come In and plank down a plank walk wherever it sees lit. The excise board held a brief session this morning and granted two licenses , one to the Lincoln Cigar and Supply company and the other to John liolnuiulst , The latter saloon is located on Seventh street opposite the Burlington depot , and makes the third ono on that block front , the board abrogating the rule prohibiting more than two.

Mrs. Mary Boyer and two children applied to the police today for charity. She says her husband Is a well digger , and intends coming to Lincoln soon. Ho sent the wife and children ahead , but has not ynt ap peared , and the police are inclined to believe it a case of desertion. Rev.
