"The Twelve Temptations" Spec

LIFE" The Grab-Bag"-N

II any Of our readers has ever seen the
old-fashioned romantic spectacle of ''Ru-
dolph, the Baron" or "Lurline, the Water
Queen" as it is indifferently called, he will
know the motive of ''The Twelve Temp
ta.ions" produced at the New California
last evening. Hubert, the Valiant, the beg
CARED heir of Wurlburg is Rudolph under
another name. and Snoro Apropos,
his henchman. is the same servant
who followed him on his impossi-
Bile mission to recruit his fortunes
by prospecting for unknown treasure.
They both leave loves behind them.
and yield, for the purpose of lucre, to the
new conditions in the country of the i'm
mortals. who seem to rave made corner on
the precious article Of which they are in
search. With this exception, however, in
favor Of the antique spectacle; there is not
so much of the romantic and gallant bear
ing in Mai Estelle, the Hubert, as we have
seen In the Rudolphs of old; and as for
Snoro, his man, there is no more fun in him
than in broomstick. What is left to notice,
therefore, in this spectacle are the inciden-
tals-the ballets, the athletics, the songs,
and other.
THE BALLETS.
The spectacle is particularly rich in this
respect, and the ballerinas, for the most
part, are young, with handsome faces and
shapely figures. "Riding on Grandpapa's
Shoulders" Is certainly novelty, aud 1t
puzzles one in the maZes of the dance 10
separate the dummy old man from the
daughter whose weight he is apparently
bending beneath. A pretty pas de deux is
that of the marked Beauties" by the Chit
ten Sisters. Then there is skirt dance
by number of whirlng Carmen
citas. who are joined by the same
proportion of Little Lords Fauntleroy,
making the scene bewilderingy graceful.
The dancing, both in ensemble ana solo, is
IN fact the best portion of the entertain
ment, and in saying this we must not forget
to mention The Ballet of Terra Gotta" in
which each dancer bears on gilded perch
large parrot. The birds spread their
wings as if they enjoyed the motion, and
occasionally hoarse note is heard from the
'papagayos," as if they wished to rival the
music of the Withers orchestra. Senorita
Emma Paparillo, Victor Chado "a male
dancer). the Salamonskys, have all claims
to consideration for their saltatorial grace.
THE SCENERY,
Painted by Getz, Emens, Harley Merry,
Reid and others, is in the best style of the
art, and the changes are made easily. The
last scene, by Harley Merry. a trausforma.
ton called the III me OF the Sun Qeecn,"
is very brilliant, both in conception and ex-
ecution.

SAN DIEGO, July 6.-NOthing new is de-

been here two days. Nothing has been
heard of United States Marshal Gard or Dis
trict Attorney Cole, who are at Los Ange-

AS TO the charge of violating the neu-
trality laws under which the Itata was first
arrested and for which she was brought
back by the Charleston.
Delay in taking action is exhibited by the
Government officials at Los Angeles, occa-
siOning considerable comment Not word
has been received from them. The opinion
IS freely expressed by eminent lawyers of
this city that the delay is caused by the
realization OF the fact by the authorities at
Washington that the charge will not hold,
and Uncle Sam is in bad position in the
matter Commander Tejada of the Ita ia
expresses confidence that the vessel will not
be delayed more than a few days longer.
Then. he says, the vessel will proceed to San
Fra ncisco and take a cargo for IQuQue. 1t
is anticiI ated that action of some sort will
be taken tomorrow. Collector Berry has
received no instructions from Washington.
The ltata is quietly at anchor in the har-
Dor. Nobody is allowed aboard by the Gus
tom officers
United States Marshal Gard was inter
viewed to-day and declared that the Itata,
when she left San Diego. had four 6O-pound
guns one Calling and one uowitZer. She lso
had 30 ordinary sailors, 60 soldiers, TO new
rifles ami 200 old rifles. He further said
that lie has abundance of sworn testimony
TO prove this and that the suprrflunuS men
were kent concealed while in San Diego.

giving no details of the voyage from Chile.
No orders have yet been given as to the dis

officers of San Diego County, from whose
custody she escaped, and the case will be

the whangdoodle or the gyasticutus, But
the branch scientific academy OF Murphy's
