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.

its receipt before promulgating the terms of
the treatj , while apparently unnecessary lu
view of the fact that Its provisions are mat

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.

X.IT U. < ! UOIHI'1VO31KIHAX. .
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.

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.

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

Olti'ntlon of Identity.
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. Ho claims to have
been at work at the time , and some dozen
friends are willing to corroborate him. The
woman , however , is positive.
