AMERIcAN TROOPS SURROUNDED.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Secretary
of State has received dispatch from the
United States consulat Laredo. saying that
Capt. Hardee of the Third cavalry and his
troops, together with the United States
marshal, were surrounded near Fort Mack
intosh, Tex, by large body Of Mexican
insurgents under Gen. Cara. No details
are given and it is not stated what followed
the action of the insurgents. 1t is therefore
not known whether the Americans are at
liberty or are still prisoners. The matter
was referred TO the war department. A
telegram was sent to Gen. Stanley,
commanding the department of Texas, and
a reply was received saying that he had or
dered troops to the scene OF the reported
trouble and would report later in the day.
Army officials do not attach much signih-
cance to the consul's telegram. They think
he was deceived by rumor of trouble that
had little foundation in fact.

ADJUSTMENTS.

II an American star was to appear
with as incompetent, poor set of actors
as form the support OF Madame Sarah
Bernhardt, they would have a brief,
inglorious career, but then there is no
American star like Bernhardt, and when
one possesses that elusive, bewildering
quality called genius, to the degree she
does. one is forgiven anything. There
can be no question but that the closest
observer last evening at the opera house
failed to detect the slightest flaw in her
La Tosca. 1t was only when some of
the actors took their cue, that the spell
was broken, and it was realized that it
was art, not nature, which actuated her.
In appearance when Madame Bern
hardt first appeared on the stage she
was slightly disappointing. She ap-
peared as a woman OF average height,
her weight probably being about one
hundred and forty pounds, her figure
characterized by a generous waist, and
very much in evidence below the belt,
to use a sporting term, which is politely
expressive in this case. Her hair was
bleached dull red, being much
darker at the roots than at the ex-
tremites; her throat was round,
firm, beautifully modelled. Her
face was exquisitely oval; the
mouth sensitive to a degree, the upper
lip noticeably long, the nose just trife
Hebraic, and the eyes-as she entered
they looked bit dull, but from that
moment till the edge of her robe disap-
peared over the edge of the parapet and
the curtain fell on the last act, they
were even more expressive than her
words; to those who could not under
stand her language, her eyes and face
made the whole sad story plain.
There were but two of the support
who were at all worthy; the Scarpia of
NJ. Duquesne was strongly played, and
in the supper scene in the fourth act he
gave all the necessary vigor to his re-
voting role, but Invested it of much of
the grossness with which Mr.. Mcdowell,
for instance, garnishes it. Madame
Seylor in the first act, as Gennarino, did
some very pretty light work.
Managers McLain and Lehman had
the lobby of the house decorated
with plants, and introduced a
number of electric lights under
the edge of the balcony, which, with a
star OF similar lights over the stage arch,
added greatly to the enjoyment of the
women of the audience in permitting
them to thoroughly examine each others
gowns.
The audience was certainly the most
fashionable assemblage ever gathered in
a theater in this city. The costumes
worn by the women were unusuall y
brilliant, and everybody was there.

The way good American dollars are
being exported to Europe is shown by
the following extract from the San
Francisco Chronicle of recent date:
The subject of the drain of American
money caused by the visits of citizens of
this country to Europe has recently been
revived. The Philadelphia Ledger went
into the matter few days ago and con-
cluded that after deducting the probable
amount expended in this country by for
eign visitors and that brought in by i'm
migrants that the net lose is at least
$70,O0O,000 annually. The Chicago
Tribune revises the figures of the
Ledger and points out that the
latter omitted the not inconsiderable
remittances to assist foreigners to
come to this country and the amount
sent abroad by persons living here to
relieve from distress relatives in the
"old country and other inaccuracies,
and concludes that last year the net loss
to this country by the drain was about
Sill, ,O00,0 900. and the amount will reach
nearly $100,000.000 this year. The
knowledge of this vast sum carried out
OF the country may help some puzzled
statistlcian TO solve the enigma Of a

comparatively small gain of gold in the
face of large favorable trade balances.
If these people would spend their
money in seeing the wonders of Amer
lea, they would do two good things-in-
crease their store of useful information
and contribute to the welfare of their
country. As to the money sent to rela-
tives in Europe to relieve distress, and
to bring them to this country, that is a
natural and honorable instinct which
few well disposed persons would wish to
restrain

Peter Barr, a storekeeper at Whining
ton, while temporarily insane, shot him
self few minutes before O'Clock yes
terday morning in his room above the
Leaubershimer drug store, and died some
little time afterwards from the effects Of
the wound. The deceased was AZ years
old, and native of Scotland. He was
partner of N. .. Anderson. At the in
quest it was learned that the deceased
had been drinking very heavily, and E.
L. Connor, who was in the room with
Barr few hours before the fatal shot
was fired, testified that the deceaeed
talked considerable nonsense, quite in
contrast with his usual style.
When Frank Joseph, Sam Thompson,
and @. +. Talge rushed in the room after
hearing the shot, the deceased was
bleeding very profusely. On the wash
stand was revolver. The dying man
was conscious, and remarked:
