made by an American resident of Nice,
France, that the officers flag ship, the
Lancaster, had publicly abuse ed
the head of the navy de-
partment and all connected
with it for haylng ordered that vessel to
the Congo country, alleging that IL was
done 20 spite the ladies'. The secretary
enclosed copy OF the letter received at
the department on the subject, and says
he has written 10 the writer, whose
name is purposely withheld, requesting
that he give Admiral Englis h the names
of the officers who made the statements
referred to. The secretary's letter TO
Admiral English concludes as fol-

or has criticized in hotel or anywhere
else any orders OF the department, you
will report the facts TO the department

The matinee was attended by more
than an average audience, who went to
see Min last afternoon in the sensa-
tional drama of the FOOLS Revenge. IL
is Italian, Florentine all over and some-
what gorgeous in its thought and de-
velopment. The criticism on tho play
itself Is that 1t is too ilorid-too thrilling
for perfect consonanco with nature.
But II must be remembered that when
dramas are prepared for public enter
tainmont they are not gotten up with
reference to the representation OF COM
mon and ordinary events, and the only
limitation upon the author is that no
shall "hold the mirror up to nature"
on natural principles. The FOOLS Re-
Yenge exhibits TO the world-audience a
case of deep pathos and remarkable in
cident. Yet on principles of generali-
zatlon tho actual impulse and passion
ofmen arc only carried to natural re-
suit. As Bertucclo, Min sustained n
reputation which genius alone could
have achieved. Miss Adele Pawn, as
Francesca Bentivolio, and Miss Lillian

tive characters. The play was deeply

There can be no question of the pro-

where they cropped out, and we burned
them upon the fiat stones near Bill

would be, and found it clear ash; but
