Loie" Dance at English's. The passing of JxIe Fuller was as ephemeral as a dream, and her dances were almost as Immaterial as the fantastic vagaries of some mental Illusion. Many of those who nearly filled English's Opera House last night to witness the performance of the loudly advertised American girl doubtless carried away such a visionary and Indefinable Idea of all that Is represented by "La Loie's" art that they will not conjure up any great vocabulary of adJecUves with which to descnoo its DeauUes. This may be because "La. Loie's" novel invention, like everything1 that finally glories In eclat. Is at first caviare to the unlnlUated, or it may be because many did not see what they had expected. Although Miss Fuller's success bears the music hall taint, the fact retrains that she has captured the elite among the arUstically gifted In the most modern of all capital ciUes. After witnessing her performance one must admit that she furnishes something in the way of amusement that is much above the trivial In which the faddists generally revel. The meritorious charm of Miss Fuller's dances lies in the fact that the mechanism of her art is effectually concealed. There is no clatter of clogs, but mysUc melody Soothes the ear. The stage structure is obliterated in stygian shadows while chromatic lights play on the graceful and harxronlousiy moving figure of the dancer. -The third dance, that of "The Firmament." showed "La Loie" among the stars and planets, tfce whole being produced by the magical . calciums which she employs and which really represent the most or her art. In the closing dance, "The Lily," the greater part of the stage was taken up with Miss Fuller's voluminous draperies. On them all colors of the rainbow were thrown, and the picture, though brief, was beautiful and satisfying to the eye. At the conclusion of "The Lily" the curtain was raised twice while the applause lasted. It was a pretty and at times superlaUvely beautiful display, and the drapery did nearly all of it. Perhaps the press agent is to blame for this Impression. He has given us so much of "La Loie," her early struggles, her knack of conceiving or remembering bon mots (It Is all the same in the theatrical business), and her daily incomings and out goings. There was not enough woman jn the exhibition, especially tor tne present wnen woman woman with Beardsly dressing, woman in Hume-Jones gowns fresh from the wash without drying. Woman wearing only, a "hope of more substantial clothes is, apparently, the keynote of 11 decorative art. la roie is a great Inventor and deserves all the credit due to such ability; but there remained the Impression after her exhibition that It would be no difficult 'task -for her to train an understudy. That's the difference between the Loie and Herrmann, for instance. Many a conjurer could - be taught to drag a live goose out of a 'bunch of paper ribbon that had Just been pulled from a quart bowl,- but not with Herrmann's air. The-man-in-search-of-a-sensatlon. who- saw "La Loie," came out with the thought that a gooi, bright, active boy might be. taught the whole thing in about a dozen lessons, but the bright, active boy would not be likely to Invent the dances. This last is Loie's triumph. m Tle Strength of Suor Acres' ; One of the most important contributions to the modern drama Is James A. Heme's five-act comedy, "Shore. Acres," which Is announced for production at the Grand Opera House for three eights and matinee, commencing Monday night next. The play is unconventional In structure, and in this reepect It will not enrich the technique of dramatic construction. The great strength of Mr. Heme's work lies in its wonderful character delineations. There Is absolute truth to nature. The author has his people come and go as people do In real life, and he has given them real things to do and say. Each and every part is perfect, and is a distinct type. From Uncle Nat. the good old man, to little Mandy Gates, who is too bashful to talk, the people who act in "Shore Acres" are exact duplicates of people from the coast of Maine, and all of them are personally known to the author. Such plays are almost wholly unknown In England, and it has been predicted that Mr. Heme's pastoral poem would create a sensation in London. It is the author's intention to produce his play In the British metropolis next year, taking over his entire American company, scenery, properUes, etc. V Plic "A German Soldier." . There was a change of bill at the Park yesterday, James Itelllyand his company appearing In the four-act comedy-drama, "A German Soldier." This piece is on the order cf Frits' Emmet's old nlavs. and ha enough of the sensational in it to give everybody a taste of the "thrills." Mr. Relily Atcclutoly Pure. A cream of tartar baking powder.

There are, practically, no intermissions, as between acts the audience is entertained by William Hendricks on the banjo, lien Williams In monologue, little Irene Myers and Will Myers In songs, S. F. Tempest in descriptive sonsrs and Charles O'Brien in a comedy act. These specialties, together with the drama, make the performance continuous. The plot cf the piece Is not new. but of a type always popular, and yesterday's r.u&iences were, evidently, well pleased. "A German Soldier" will be repeated to-day at both performances. Tomorrow Mr. Itcilly and his company will pre?ent "The Broom Jiaker," with the same specialties between the acts. Next week the I'ark h?.s a new ray each day, oienlng, Monday, with "Monte Cristo."

Gooding addressed a small audience at the Circuit Court room last night, talking on free silver. Mr. Gooding was a prominent figure In Democratic political circles cf this State for a number of years. At one time he was a circuit Judge. He headed the electoral ticket In one of the presidential campaigns and has been a candidate for various State ofilces. Mr. Gooding is an old-time Jacksonlan Democrat, and is a fervent worshipper -at the shrines of both Jackson and Jefferson. Last1 night he quoted their written works copiously. His special contention was for the conatiutional currency, gold and silver, and he attacked the national bank system with bitter denunciations, declaring national banks to be particularly dangerous to the welfare of the Drople. Mr. Gooding had before him the CrAiocrat'.c national platforms from the first convention down to the last. He read extracts from each successive platfarm, showing that the party had always favored the free and equal coinage of gold and filver, and had always been opposed to national banks. Cleveland was scored roundly for drifting away from the old Democratic doctrines. It was because he had "smelt a mouse" when Cle-eiand was nominated the last time that he had not gone about over the State making speeches in the last campaign, he said. 7 voted for him, but would not do It -again," he declared.

SPAIN'S CUBAN WAR AVERAGE COST. TO THE OLD COLX. TRY IS $0,000,000 A MOXTII. Xo Biff Battle Has Been Fought nnd None Likely Race-War Idrn Plays a Large Part In the Rebellion. New York Herald. " It is now over af year since the present revolution In Cuba broke out, and a survey of the situation shows that, from a very small beginning the Insurrection" has grown to formidable proportions,' with just a pos sibility that It will end disastrously for Spain. The only question seems to be, can Spain get enough money to carry on the war? If she can she will win; otherwise she will lose. Thus, if the rebels should finally win their independence It will not be because of any triumphs of theirs in the field, but because of Spain's financial paralysis. The rebels have not courted, and will not court, a decisive battle, for they know that the trained troops of Spain, with their complete and modern arms of war, would sweep them off the face of the earth. They do not attempt the capture of any Important city, for strategic or other pur pose.", because they, know they could not hold It against the attack of the Spanish forces. .Zi So their plan is now, as it always has been, to wage a guerilla warfare, to avoid an open battlo, wjth the Spaniards, but to harass and annoy them by sudden and un expected attacks on their flanks and rear; to , trap them Into ambuscades and shoot their leading officers, to burn and devastate the coffee, sugar . and tobacco plantations so that they will yield no revenue to Spain. This was the plan laid by Jose Marti, the guiding genius of the insurrection, and, when he fell, his fellow insurgents announced that they would not change It. "We shall not. he said on the eve of his departure from New York for Cuba, "risk any battle with the Spanish forces, for we know they will exterminate us at once. But we shall harass them night and day by sudden attacks, for. which. thgy9 stall. not be. prepared, and after doing aH'the'damage we can in these attacks ,we shall . run , away to our hiding places in the fastnesses of the mountains or in the depths of -the swamps, where the Spaniards cannot follow us. You know a swarm of mosquitoes will drive a horse to madness and death. We shall be the mos quitoes and the Spanish army the horse." Following out this plan of Marti the rebels have carried the flaer of insurrection from one end of the Island to the other without having fought what might be truly called a real battle, but leavimr behind them sad scenes of devastation, burned vil lages, wasted plantations and ruined crops. WAR'S FEARFUL COST. It has been estimated that to maintain her . troops in Cuba? It costs Spain $6,0)0,000 a month, and that .this sum Is altogether an outlay wlth'no TCvenua to offset it. Ac cording to a statement published In a Hav ana newspaper of 'recent date, Spain has spent $33,000,000 since the outbreak of .the .revolution a year ago. The loss In money to her subjects In Cuba as a consequence of the war Is Incalculable, for business la paralyzed and commerce Is dead and the losses consequent' upon the burning of villages' and towns, the5 destruction of rallw;ay property and the devastation of plantations very realily run Into the millions. The rebels stake all their hopes of suocess on this financial drain, and they say Spain cannot stand it much longer; but, on the Other hand, it is claimed for Spain that her credit is good, that she is not in financial straits and that the fact that she has already spent so much money, on the war is evidence that she has or can get Just as much more. And, further, this idea of the rebels was long sgo perfectly well known to Spain, for her Cabinet announced that Spain would not give up the fight while she had left a dollar or. a man. , "It is not money," a prominent Spaniard remarked not long since, "that Spain needs to quell the insurrection. All she wants is to meet the whole rebel army in one open, decisive battle. If the eun ever rises on such a battle it will set on a glorious, lasting victory for the Spanish cause." A few words about the people of Cuba, her resources and her commerce, her politics and her topography may not be amiss at this point. Cuba to-day has a mixed population of 1,500,000. r Of this number more than half are whites, the rest being negroes and mulattoes, in addition to fifty thousand Chinese coolies, who do laboring work on the plantations. The population Is further divided into classes known as "lnsulares" and "penlnsulares.". The latter were born in Spain, the others in Cuba. The peninsulares," or, as they are also called, emigrants from Spain, constitute a small but very Influential element of the population. They are for the most part men of wealth, have obtained distinction In the learned professions or been successful in various lines of business. These "pen lnsulares," and, Indeed, all the Spanish residents of Cuba, are loyal to Spain and view the present insurrection with as much sorrow as the people who live in Spain. They are, therefore, Intensely patriotic. About all of the public otlices in Cuba are' in the hands of these Spanish residents. ; The "lnsulares" are the descendants of the original Spanish conqnerers of Cuba, and conrtitue the great class known as Cubans. They are fully 900.000 in number, and It is said but a few thousand of them have taken up arms with the rebels or have any sympathy with their cause. - The, Cubans generally, it has been claimed, have no desire to wage war against Spain; thtey are not revolution? lsts, but autonomists, anri their ambition Is to outwit the Cortes in argument, not in battle, for they believe greater advantages can be gained by diplomacy than by the machete. The rest of the population are negroes, descendants from the African tribes cf Lucanio, Cor.gcs and Carabalio, and are fa!d to number fully 40,000. Under the leadership of Antonio and Jose Maceo, who are mulattoes, and are fairly worshipped by the blacks, over whom they have very great influence, many thousands of negroes have been induced to Join the insurrection. Of the great bulk of the negro population it Is said they are loyal to Spain because in 18S0 she freed them from slavery. Bull they are Illiterate and ignorant, and easily swayed by men as aggressive and influential as the Maceos, and it has been said that those of them who have been Induced to take ap arms with the rebels were told that the object of the revolution was the establishment In Cuba cf a great black Republic. MADE IT A RACE WAR. So they plunged Into the war with a fanatic madness, as it wer?, for they hate the whitest For this reason It has been said the revolution in Cuba Is more a race war than anything else. The negroes comprise the bulk of the laboring class of Cuba, and are generally employed! on the sugar plantations. In the cutting cf the susar cane they use the machete a fceea, lonbladtd knlie, in

In war it is a most fearful weapon in their hands, and thero is no weapon the Spaniards dread so much, for death or horrible mutilation follows its every thrust. The machete is their principal weapen in the present conflict, and many stories are told of the fearful execution they do with it. Their plan is to form a small group on horseback, cash into a body of Spaniards, cut right and left with the deadly machete and then gallop away, leaving the ground trewn with maimed or. butchered Spaniards.. In the earlier stages of the insurrection, when the Insurgents came into contact with Spanish troops, it was the grim cry, "Ae machete!" that told the Spaniards their foes meant to give no quarter and asked none. It is eaid now that when Gomez wants to sound the alarm "Ae machete!" or 'To the sword!" he usually does It by means of a bugle call, the menace of whose notes Is already as well known to the Spaniards as to his own men. Then begins the dexterous sword pfay which has made the men 01 Maceo, Bandera and La Cret such dreaded foes at close quarters. Antonio (Maceo s command is composed almost-wnolly of negroes. "Many of them wear little more by way of clothing than a breechclout, but they are armed with the terrible machete and they know how to use it. Tales of La Cret's personal prowess with the sword are rife in all the insurgent camps. Many of these stories are, doubtless, highly colored. One of them, which finds most favor with the insurgents, describes how in one of the skirmishes in Matanzas province La Cret, while leading his men against a band of Spanish infantry, received from behind a slight bayonet thrust in the left arm. La Cret, so the story goes, never paused in his Impetuous charge, but, glancing over his shoulder, measured the distance, and with a single backward sweep of hi9 sword arm cut the head oft the Spaniard. Cuba, the most important of all 'Spain s colonial possessions, and the one thit has cost her more money, trouble and worry than them, all, has been richly endowed by nature. It is some seven hundred miles in length, with an average width of eighty miles, and a seashore ol fully two thousand miles, In which there are many- safe and deep harbors. It has an area of 43,319 square miles, and the islands that fringe its coast have an area of 1,250 square miles. Except for the range of mountains in the eastern and central portions of the island, the land is undulating, with vast meadows and plains and occasional stretches of marsh. Much of the country is subject' to severe drought, and the rainy seasons are long and uncomfortable, and usually disastrous to persons not acclimated to them. The climate of Cuba Is very trying to those not accustomed to It, and the rebels have sail that it killed more Spaniards than they did. SITUATION' IX TUB SOUTH. IndaMrinl Improvement Coupled vflth Political Demoralisation. Letter from A. 1C Mcdure In Philadelphia Times. While the general industrial condition of the South is materially improving, the political demoralization of this section is more general to-day than at any time in the history of the country. The Industrial conditions are now improving from the bottom, among the small producers, who are the only reliable and enduring source of wealth In any community. The farmers are gradually teaming to diversify their products and to understand the small economies which are nc-cessary to the success of the masses of the people. The many booms which seemed to start prosperity at the top in this region have run their course and left a broad swath of desolation, but now the Southern people appear to be starting on a sound basis. While some of the cltlts and towns are in decay, the small producers are steadily growing in wealth, and that means substantial prosperity to the Southern States. There is little to invite capital in great enterprises in the South, because of the uncertainty of Southern oredit, but as the small producers learn how to create wealth the Southern States must steadily advance in prosperity and in the bert methods of making their labor most productive. The present political demoralization throughout the Southern States is entirely unexampled in the history of the Republic. There ha3 been more or less political demoralization ever since the era of reconstruction, when the carpet bagger and the adventurer schooled the Ignorant colored race toy idleness and theft. That rule continued until the credit of the Southern States; was utterly destroyed and little left for the spoilsmen to prey upon, and while thus ruling they gave high example in the pollution and perversion of the ballot. When overthrown, as was Inevitable from the utter prostitution of power, the whites again became political masters, and they profited by the methods taught by the carpet bagger to mold elections as leaders desired. They possessed the property and all the elements of prospertty of the South excepting labor, and for twenty years have ingeniously and systematically suppressed the colored vote, and were generally successful because of the submissive character of the colored race. The race lines could not be a perpetual issue when politics appeals to the cupidity and ambition of men. With the Jarring conflicts of ambition finally came universal industrial and business depression, and both political parties have been torn from their eld moorings. While the South does not produce a dollar of silver, the free silver craze has swept it like wildfire, and instead of two great parties in the South, today there are three distinct political organizations, and it is doubtful under present conditions which would carry the majority of the Southern States. The Populists have, rent the Democracy in twain, and the Republicans, lor?g the under dogs, with nothing to hore for In politics but to fashion auction delegations to national conventions and to obt?.ln the federal offices when the party succeeded to power, are ready for anything that ;ramUes to win. Hitherto the South has had but one party at a time that suffered from general demoralization, but any intelligent observer who has studied the present political conditions of the South would be compelled to lie awake at night to determine whether the Democrats, Republicans or Populists of the South are plunged most deeply Into the mire of demoralization. There 13 not a single State in the South und?r present conditions that is certain to vote for the Democratic candidate for President next November. The majority of them, or all of them, may thus vote, but a united South at the next election is quite improbable, and it is certainly among the possibilities that between the Republicans and the Populists all the Southern States may be lost to the Democracy. The Republicans have been kicked and cuffed as a helpless minority for many year, and, being largely made up of the classes which have little respect for conviction, are logically ready for any combination that promises victory and plunder, and the Democrast are so greatly demoralized on the issue of cheap money that a very large proportion, if rot a majority of them, to-day wauld prefer a Republican President to a Democrat who maintained a pound financial system. This condition may be improved before the meeting of the Democratic national convention, but there is great need of improvement to give reasonable hope of continued democratic supremacy in the reconstructed Siate. The first expression of Southern sentiment on the money issue will be given by Alabama within the next month, when the Democratic State convention will nominate the candidate for Governor and othr Stat cd. cera nd tltct delegates to Chicaro.

Telephone 400 Issue between Representative Clarke, the sound-money candidate, end Captain Johnson, his free-silver competitor, is so sharply d-efined that the convention must give a positive expression one way or the othfT. If It shall be for sound money the Southern States will he halted In the present tendency to a cheap-money tidal wave, while if the convention shall declare for free silver it is more than probable that all the Southern States, with the single exception of Kentucky, will send cheap-money delegates to the national convention. The Republicans of the South, with rare exceptions, care nothin for the money issue and quite as little for the tariff issue, outside of some leading manufacturers, chiefly Northern men who are located in the South. They want to win, and they are willing to win with the Populists or against the Populists, or with or against any other combination or faith. There is a strong Democratic element in favor of sound money, but it is not at all certain that it can stamp its mastery upon the Democratic organizations of a majority of the Southern States. WHY THEY T1IIXK OP IIAllIUSOX. Feeling: of Kantern Dustncns Men ns to the St. Lrouls Nomination. Xew York Letter In Philadelphia Press. The impression here Is that only with General (Harrison's name can the McKimey forces be overcome in the convention. There always was a very strong Harrison feeling amons the (Republicans of this city who are net Hcfively associated In politics. It Is a sentiment which matches that McKiniey undercurrent which has been influential In some "f the districts in the State. Mr. Piatt has been told by business men tti&t if it is found to be Impossible to ncmtiirtfe Governor Morton tho business men cf .New fork city will more gladly support t- ex-President than any oth?r candidates vhp.itre now prominent. Theie 13 a feeling of "rrflc'cnce in Harrison: Business men l.no w s-:H;tly how he stands upon the curivncv question, and they do feel that his uyperieic and qualifications would Justify an - 5'ithus?tistlo support of him. Whether th 3 politicians will take that view or not reria'nt to be seen. It is r.zi : view confined to New York; a wry prominent busine3 man of Chicago v;nle 'peaking of presidential politics sa'd: 1?X" f'A not vote for Harrison dast time. I wa one of the thousands who made a raistake, nut it is my Impression that if General Harrison were to be nominated egaln he would obtain the votes of a majority of the business men of Chicago, Ietr)It and Cincinnati, and I base my Judgment upon what I have heard my acquaintances say. We hear that the polltlcans are bound to defeat McKlnley's nomination, but I don't believe it is possible, unless there be concentration upon ex-President Harrison." Tha understanding here is that General Harrison was absolutely sincere when he wrote, his letter, in which he refused to be considered as a presidential candidate, and it Is thought that with him not the least motives which lured him to write that was the expectation of harpiness in a i?ew . domestic relation. But it is a!o tho Impression that if the convention makes up its mind that it will be best for the country and for the Republican party that General Harrison be renominated, then he wilhnot refuse, and in accepting a nomination be will receive what is virtually a certificate of election.

for the. purpose cf having- the Supreme Court rule on points which were left undetermined or indefinite in its recent decision. It answered questions that had been put to It by certain parties but did not answer questions that might have been put by another party, which is the people. The Supreme Court by more fully covering the ground may inform the State that there is an apportionment act under which an ejection can be held, or that there is. none, and put at rest the claims that are now in conflict, threatening the peace of the State.
