Ni:w Yoiik, March 15. A dispatch lo tho New York Trlbuno from Ha vana fays: Tho teapot of Cuban poli tics has beau fairly boiling over again. It Is clear that the controlling clement In the assembly could not huvo incas ured accurately the prcstlgo and popu larity of that somewhat nondescript body before plunging Into tho fool hardy contest with General Gomel which Saturday's resolution of depo sition has precipitated, for, with all the faults of tompcr and judgment which may bo charged against him, Gomez remains the solo military hero of the recent rebellion. Had Maeeo or even Garcia lived there might have been a rival within tho army to divide with Gomez tho honors of tho struggle against Spain and to challenge- now tho expediency of his political policy; but among the generals of tho military assembly uono has as yet so recommended htm self to Cuban opinion as to attract u distinct or noted following. Tito tn fluenco of the Assembly as a wholo Is not to bo set for a moment against that of the real chief of tho army. I Though tho veteran warrior accept: the d:crce of retirement and re nounces tho generalship, he remains, in spite of his cnomtcs, tho political head of tho revolutionary party, anil in that role will contlnuo to direct the fortunes both of the army and of the other elements of the Cuban pop ulation, whoso present desire Is for a speedy termination of military con trol and the cessation of the political guardianship now exercised by the United Statci. There arc abundant Indications that tho military assembly's short-sighted attack on General Gomez has simply put an end to that body's already at tenuated credit and influence.

Another old English actor, who boro in excellent reputation In his day, has lust died. Ho was George Melville, whose fame, although ho played much ,n London, was associated chiefly with Ihe famous company which made Hath mil llrlstol theatrical centers thirty sr forty years ago. Many well-known players got much of their oarly train ing In this organization.

Says Frederic Edward McKay In tho New York Mall and Express: "A letter written on perfumed vlolet hued paper reaches mo this morning and contains this query: 'In "A Dnn- gerous Mnld," at tho Casino, Miss Mudgo Lesslng, as the heroine, falls Into a franco In tho first act whllo she Is wearing red stockings and slippers. After she has passed through a series of scenes, all of which are supposed to be in dreamland, she Is again re vealed upon tho spot whero wo first saw her as though she were just re awakening. I was impressed with tho fact that at tho moment Miss Lesslng comes to she Is attired In black hosiery and boots.
