The Starbird Concert.

A small butappre ciative audience assem- bed
at City Hall last evening, on the occasion of the
appearance of the Starbird Troupe. The threat
ing weather deferred many from attending, who
otherwise might have been present. The great
number of fine musical entertainments with
which our people have been favored this season
has tended to produce safety, and undoubtedly
had much to do with the small size of the audi
ence.
The singers labored under the disadvantage
of the annoying echo, which is always present
when the hall is not we'll filled. But despite
this drawback they all acquitted themselves
well. Miss Starbrd's strong, clear, carefully
trained soprano showed itself to marked advan-
tage in the cavatina from Meyerbeer, as well as
in the opening trio. Miss Alice Fairman's rich,
liquid contralto won great favor with the audi
ence. Miss Terese Liebe the violinst, complete
ly surprised those present by the ease and
breadth of her bowling, her mastery of the fin
gering board, the brilliancy of her playing, and
the grace and tenderness which showed itself
in the minor strains. Opinions differed as to
Mr.. Marley. He had so much the manner of a
''cad," that many were preiudiced against him
at the start. He is really great singer, and
his strong dashing tenor is probably the best
ever heard in Portland. Mr. Beckett's fine
qualities of voice are too well known to Port
landers to require mention here. He did admit
rably last evening, and was enthusiastically
received. The troupe as a whole is an excel
lent one, and deserving all the success which
attends if.

The Carlist Outragcs mt Sauahuja.
BARCELONA, May 22.-Later dispatches re-
ceived here from Sanahuja state Il at twenty
volunteers who had surrendered to the Carlsts
were butchered in the streets, and the fate OF
forty either prisoners is unknown. 1t is believed
they too have been killed.
The atrorities of the insurgents has caused
much excitement here. The military have as
sembled at their armores and demanded that
the Carists now held as prisoners in this city
be given up to them for execution, in retalia-
ton for the cruelties committed by the insur-
gents at Sanahuia. The authorities refused to
surrender the prisoners aud transferred them to
n fortress in the harbor to save them from the
wrath OF the militia.
1t is probable that number of well known
Carlist sy mpathizers i'll Barcelona will be ar
res ed and held as hostages for the safe return
of the volunteers now in the hands of the in
surgents.
A levy en- masse upon the population for
forces to operate against the insurgents is ex-
pected to be made shortly,

track just as it was leaving the draw, taking
the next four cars with it. Fortunately they
did not go off the bridge. The train was COM

damage was the tearing up of the track for sew

worn out rail that went next to the draw, and
