MUSIC AND tn e DRAMA.
THE ART ENTERTAINMENT.


The entertainments given at Congress Hall
on Thursday and Friday evenings by Messrs.
Mapes and Morgan were among tho finest of
the kind ever given in Portland. The lecture
by Prof. Morgan on Thursday evening, "The
Monuments of Paris" not only treated
of the ohu riches, palaces, bridges, towns and
other historical mon uments of this beautiful
city but gave brief and concise sketch of its
history. Prof. Morgan is fluent, easy
speaker and holds an audience in strict atten-
ton from first to last.
The views were unquestionably the most
brilliant we have ever seen produced and
projected as they were upon screen % feet
In diameter they gave the audience an impress
sion OF reality truly astonishing.
MT. Mapes brings with him undoubted proof
OF this truly wonderful instrument-he
triple optical lantern, said to be the only one
IL America; but he needs no proof beyond the
excellence of the entertainments given at
Congress Hall. The lecture last evening was
on London, tie great city" and this even
The Rhine and the Rhineland." The citi-
Gems OF Portland who do not avail themselves
OF this opportunity will certainly miss it.
HUMPTy DUMPTY
Last evening Humpty Dumpty was pro-
duced on the boards of the New Portland
Theatre by the Abbey Humpty Dumpty
troupe, probably tine best organization that
ever played Humpty Dumpty in Portland.
Last year, with perhaps two exceptions, Mr.
Curtis made hit with every company that
was billed at his theatre and he has certainly
commenced the present season in manner
that promises we'll for the future The enter
tainment last evening was perfect success,
and 1t could not well be otherwise with such
a Accompany as Mr.. Hickey has gathered The
speclaltles introduced were well received, and
everything introduced from the opening to the
close OF the entertainment was first class and
the theatre will doubtless be crowded TODAY
at the matinee as well as at the performance
this evening.
THE SPANISH STUDENTS.
This we'll known troupe will appear at City
Hall this evening and also will give a matinee
performance. Mr.. Alfred H. Pease, pianist;
Miss Isabel Stone, always favorite in Port
land; "The Students" and the Weber Male
Quintette-W. r. Bateman, first tenor; E. F.
Weber, second tenor; w. L. Vinal, first bass;
q. Il. Titus, second bass; Mr.. Adolph Close,
musical director, ought to call out an audience
that will fill the hall.

A Speck Of War.

SPANISH CRUISERS on THE CUBAN C0Asr-THE
AMERICAN FLAG FIRED UPON.
PHILADELPHIA, June 11.-Watchful
Spanish cruisers, who patrol the Cuban
coast, have once again given bold Illus
tration Of their mistaken belief that Spain
rules The seas, and as usual have taken an
American vessel for the subject OF outrage
A few weeks ago there was a story sent
abroad that the fruit.steamcr Topic, sailing
between this city and West Indian ports,
had taken out lot Of arms and ammuni-
ton for Cuban insurgents. The story
seems to have aroused suspicious IN
the minds OF the Spaniards, for the
American schooner Ethel a. Merritt.
sailing in the same line, which arrived
here this evening. reports being hailed,
stopped. and illegally searched by Spanish
man-oi-war. The schooner, which Is one
of line in the service OF large Importing
firm in this city, is commanded by Captain
Rand, q Dowu-Easter. She left Port An
tonic, on the Island Of Jamaica, May 3Oth,
with a cargo Of $4,000 cocoanus and 49,
900 bunches OF bananas.
"The next afternoon about 4 O'clock"
said Captain Rand tonight, I" espied
vessel running directly for us. | thought
nothing strange OF this until | made her out
to be a man-of-war. A flag was flying at the
mizzen peak, which | soon made out TO be a
Spanish flag. The schooner was then in
longitude 75o, latitude 100 4G/. Thinking
him bad neighbOr, and that he might pos
sibly overhaul and delay us, tackled ship
and stood away from him. AS soon as he
found ont the manGuv.e he fired blank
shot, being then fully two miles away on
the port quarter. All hands were very
much excited, but / ordered the American
flag run UP, and stood on my course. The
steamer ran closer, and when on our port
beam fired another shot-a solid shot
which evidently meant business. 1t
struck short, but glanced and whis.
tied through the rigging in a very
unpleasant manner, though without
doing any damage. l then ordered
the vessel TO lay to. He sent small boat on
board with three men. The leader should

with pistols in his belt, and his followers
were similarly equipped. He could not
speak word Of English nor | word OF
Spanish. He made no attempt to enter the
cabin. nor did be ask for the ships papers.
but he went down in the hold and rum
through the cocoanuts and bananas,
after which he came on deck apparently
satisfied, jumped into his boat and returned
TO his vessel. Soon after he left us be gave
chase to the schooner Eunice p. Newcomb,
OF Boston, which left Port Antonio with
cargo OF fruit on the same day with us, but
she was too far away for us to ascertain
whether he fired into her or not"
The owners OF the line will acquaint the
authorities at Washington OF the affair ut
)nce.

West Point Examina ton.

CADET WHITAKER QUESTIONED IN PHILosO-
PHY-sECRETARY RAMSEY on TRUE NAN.
H0oD-L1sT OF GRADUATES. ~ =.
WEST PofNT, N. Y, June 1.-THE second
class at West Point Academy, OF which
Cadet Whiitaker (colored) is member, was
examined to-day In philosophy, in which
Whitaker was supposed to be the most de-
ficient. The questioncrs were Professor
Niche and Captain Sears, and the
examination occurred before the Aca-
deinic Board. There were twelve ca
diets in Whittaker's section. Whitta-
ker Grew the following question
4" Show how 10 construct the tables and
ephemeris Of the SUM-" He eIucdated his
problem on the blackboard, and his an
swers to Professor Michie's questions were
given without the leas. show Of trepida-
tion. When Whitaker took his seat, an
officer who was present was asked how he
thought Whittaker acquitted himself, to
which he answered, "My own opinion is,
badly" Whitaker was subsequently asked
to explain the principles that govern the
use OF the Gallilesn telescope but, after
attempting to give an explanation, was
asked to take his seat. The result OF the
examination will not be known for several
days.
Secretary-of. War Ramsay made an ad-
dress to the graduating class, in which he
said it was expected Of them that they
would fully maintain the great truth which
lies at the foundation OF the republic
equal rights before the law OF all its citi-
zens. 1t is peculiarly the duty OF the
graduate to symbolic their faith in the
vital source of our nations strength, the
equality OF manhood; and it is ignoble to
be governed by an imaginary superiority
over any OF our less fortunate fellow-citi-
zeus. Generals Sherman and Miles also
made addresses.
