of the Cuban patriot forces, arrived to-day
from Jamaica. He is accompanied by two
members of his staff, Brigadiers Arcade

1000 Spanish troops who give the patriots
not minutes peace. The general asserts
that there is not the slightest truth in thu
report of his surrender. He says, 81 have
made no terms whatever with the

here by the provisional government, and BY
the courtesy of Gen. Campos was permitted

THE CRY CONCERT.
A Fine Entertainment and a Delighted
Audience.

Fine Entertainment and q Delighted
Audience.
The Opera House was filled in every part
last evening, even to the remotest parts of
the gallery. The fame of the great mezzo
soprano had preceded her, and SO great was
the desire to hear her that every seat was
bought up the day before. The programme
commenced with Pinsuti's "Spring Song,'
which brought before the audience the whole
support of Miss Cary. The soprano Mrs.
j. A. Farwell, has clear and pleasing voice
much above the average, and her method Is
| careful and studied. Mrs. j. Balfour is pos
| sessed of a rich and melodious alto voice,
very effective in concerted pieces and pleas
| ant in solos. Mr.. Il. r. Howard's voice is
better than his method, although that is
above mediocre; his crescendo passages and
swells were little abrupt and jerky last
night. Mr.. II. L. Sloan has powerful basso
voice, but it wants in fexibility, and the
upper notes are somewhat hard. The whole,
however, form quartette which will COM
pare favorably with those from Eastern
cities.
Miss Cary's first number was an aria from
Verdi's Don Carlos, and served to give the
audience fair idea of the compass, power,
and wonderful sweetness Of her magnificent
trill there is the most delicious music and
deep, strong and ponderous as
the great volume of sound
seems to be, yet it is singularly
flexible and sensitive. Using figure, it is
like gigantic horse of long and heavy stride,
, quick as fawn, and answering the touch of
an infants hand upon the rein. Space will
not admit of further comments. OF course
! the audience was delighted, and applause
and encores were the order of the evening.
The following is the programme for this af-
ternoon's matinee:

MONTHLY MEETING OF THE METHODIST
SuSpAY-SCHooL SOCIETY. = The regular
monthly meeting OF this Society was held at
Nicholson-Street Methodist church, Rock
etts, SUNDAY afternoon at 81 o'clock-A. L..
West (presidenD in the chair; c. z. Rady,
secretary.
The meeting was opened with singing by
the scholars OF Nicho!son-Street school, as
sisted by scholars OF Union-Station school,
and prayer by NJ. +. Gary, OF Trinity
school.
Rev. William Fl. Edwards, pastor Of the
church, gave q very encouraging account OF
the condition and prospects OF the school at
this point. The school has more than dou-
bIed its numbers in the past twelve months,
and has an average attendance OF eighty
five per cent The officers and teachers are
generally prompt and attentive to duty.
There has been considerable religious in
terest manifested by the scholars, and
eleven conversions in the school.
Mr.. j. D. Il. Sleight, OF the First Presby-
terian school, then addressed the meeting
subject: What think We OF Christi" He
expressed his qualification at the privilege
OF meeting so large number OF Sunday
school workers and his unabated interest in
Sunday-school work. He then addressed
himself specially to the scholars OF the
schools present, setting forth the great ad-
vantage of an early acquaintance with
Jesus as Saviour. He pressed home the
inquiry ":What think ye OF Christi" in
very effective style. His remarks were ia
terspersed with striking illustrations, and
we'll calculated to do much good.
Mr.. A. l., West and others closed the eX-
ercises with remarks pertinent to the occa-
sion.
The singing was very well executed, and
elected merited praise.
The following is a summary OF superin-
tendents' reports for the month Of April:
