SIX ANARCHISTS SHOT DEAD
Executed at Barcelona, Early
Monday Morning.
-FOUR FELL AT THE FIRST FIRE
A Second Volley Necessary
for the Other Two.
They Stood Up In Line and the Firing
Party Was Posted Behind Them-Two
Of the Men We're Repentent, But the
Others Shouted Revolutionary Cries.

BARCELONA, May 2l.-The six An.
archists-Codina, CereZuela, Sogas,
Bernat, VillarLbis and Mir-sentehced
to death after having been convicted Of
completely in the attempt OF Pallas to
assassinate Captain. General Martinez
Campos, and Of being concerned in the
Lyceum Theatre bomb outrage, were
executed at o'clock this morning, out
side the citadel of Mont Juiach.
The prisoners passed the night pre-
vious to their execution in the chapel
of the fortress after force had been en-
ployed to compel them to do so. Rain
was falling heavily when the condemned
men were taken from the chapel,
through a subterrsneous passage TO The
place of execution.
The first Of the doomed men to appear
was Sog9s, then came Cerczuela. They
showed signs of repentance and Joined
in the prayers Of the priests who accom-
panied them to the place OF death. Cere-
zuela was quiet and appeared to be
praying silently.
These men were the only ones who
seemed to be impressed with their i'm
pending doom, their companions shout
ing revolutionary cries while on the way
to execution. Troops were drawn out,
side the castle walls, forming three sides
of n square. The fourth side was closed
on the walls Of the citadel.
The six Anarchists were placed stand.
in one line with their faces TO the walls.
Sanding at short distance behind the
condemned men was the firing party. At
the first volley only four OF tue convicts
fell dead, and second yolley was
necessary in the cases OF Sogas and
Codina to complete their execution.
There was no disorder.

OLD AND NEW PLAYS.
Looking at the dramatic situation as
a whole l cannot see that it is so deep in
the mire as some believe. 1t is natural
for tile people Of each age to enjoy see
ing familiar things mirrored on the
stage. The modern drama does, or at
tempts to do this. and believe that the
modern drama is, therefore, the theairi-
cal power Of the stage to-day. 1t re-.
fleets with more or less faithfulness the
tendencies OF the age, and 1t promises to
be the popular drama for some time to
come. Horse.comedy, think, is dying
rapidly, and some excellent playwriting
is being done in higher field. But the
difference in tho literary quality of the
old plays end the new may be found in
the difference in their 'readahleness.
The great tragedies and the old comedies
make almost as good, and sometimes
better, reading in the closet than on the
stage, while modern play, dependent
on action, surroundings and stage man
agement, would make but sorry reading
