NEW YORK, June 4.
Mr.. Fisk has decided TO close the
Grand Opera House in this city which
he purchased of Mr.. Pike. He states
that his losses have been so heavy in
his theatrical adventures that in spite
of the fact that the Opera House is filled
every night, he is compelled to close 1t,
and that Saturday night will witness
the last performance therein.
1t is stated that the Spanish Minister
in Washington has become uneasy
| about the slow progress of the Peruvian
monitors towards home, especially since
he has learned that PEI u has recognize
ed the belligerents in Cuba, land that a
Cuban envoy has arrived in Lima to
ask the loan of Monitors. He accOr~
dinghy called Secretary Fish's attention
to these matters and said he thought
the monitors were lying among the
West India Islands longer than ueces-
sary.
The Peruvian Minister informed Sec
retary Fish, in answer to these com
plants, that the monitors would remain
in the West Indies late in the summer,
as winter was terrible weather for their
passage through the straits of Magda-
len. This explanation was given by
Mr.. Fish to the Spanish Minister, with
the information that Peru had given
bonds not to use the monitors In the
Cubans interest, which appeared to
mOllify his uneasiness.

solved to take immediate action for the
protection of the frontier from predatO-

dent and recommended the prOprieiy of
stationing military garrisons along the
frontier, at proper points, and of fur

pose, The President stated that he was

suppression of the frontier Outragea,
and would follow his recommendation.
