MUSIC AND DRAMA.
White Squadron.


Last night ''The White Squadron
drew an excellent audience to Portland
Theatre, and the applause was oontinu-
Gus. The play has been seen here several
times and it is sufficient to say was as
we'll cast and acted as ever. All the great
scenes held the spectators breathless. The
scene of the Congress OF officers, where
the United States ad nliral in no uncer-
tain terms gives the ultimatum OF his
country, drove the audience wild. The
scenic effects were fine. The play will be
repeated tonight.
"Lost in New York"
Tomorrow evening and Friday night at
the Portland Theatre, Cotton & Ryan's
big scenic spectacle, 'sLost in New York
will be presented with tn eNew York cast
scenery and mechanical effects The play
is the cleverest of all the realistic dramas,
and has been a phenomenal success on
the road for the past eight seasons. The
arrangement guarantee it to be one of the
grandest scenic production, that has ev er
visited this city, and they will use every
particle of their scenery, which requires
two special car to transport The follow
ing scenes, painted by Mr.. Arthur
Voegtlor of the Madison square Theatre,
New York, are said to be very beautiful !;
The East River by moonlight; Gramercy
Square; Randall's Islaud Insane Asy-
lum; Madison Square Garden, illumin-
ated, and beautiful night view of
New York harbor, as seen from Bedloe's
Island, showing the immense fleet of
ships at anchor in the foreground and
the city in the distance Illuminated. The
same company that made such a hit
at Niblo's, New York, will appear here,
and we are promised many new and
pleasing specialties..

The great American tragedian will be
seen at Portland Theater August 31st
and Sept. I'd. g Othello" and ." Richard
Ill" have been selected as the plays to
be presented. There is perhaps no phase
of Shakespearean production which marks
SO strongly the difference betweenImodern
presentation and that of the Bard OF
Ayon's own day, CT even of comparatively
recent years, as the scenic setting with
which the plays are now surrounded
There were then and still are philosophi-
cal King Richards and robust King
Richards quiet, melancholy Hamlets and
animated, melodramatic Hamlets; intel
lectual Macbeths and openly brutal Mac
beths; but the Richards, Hamlets and
Macbeths of today have the advantage
over their predecessors in moving amid
scenes that create an atmosphere of reality
about them, and aid the imagination by
presenting counterparts of the places that
were the scenes of the supposed tragedies
Such will be the actual presentation by
Mr.. Thomas Keene upon the occasion of
his appearance here, when the stage will
be filed by a series OF interesting historic
pictures, showing famous localities,
through which will move groups of richly
costumed mobiles, fair women, and glitter

A Letter Written by Him After His
Reported Death Received.

Philadelphia, Aug. 21.-Colonel Emilio
Nunez of Philadelphia, an active worker
in the cause of Cuban independence, says
he has positive Information that Maxine
Gomez, general in chief of the Cuban
armies, who is operating in Camaguay,
is not dead, and that all reports to the
contrary are false. Colonel Nunez was
in New York two days ago, and there
visited one Of the six leaders who are
controlling the aid in this country for
the insurgents. The leaders showed him
letter from General Gomez which was
dated Camaguay. This letter, said
Colonel Nunez, was written two days
later than the date on which General
Gomez was reported to have died. This
letter has convinced me Of the fasity Of
the rumors that have been circulated re-
garding the gene al death. z

EIGHT KILLED OUTRIGHT.

Pittsburg, Aug. 21.-No more deaths
have yet occurred as result of the acci-
dent at the Edgar Thomson Steel works
at Bessemer, near Braddock, but four of
those injured will probably die, which,
with those taken out dead, make total
death list of twelve. Although the Off
cials were reticent at first it is now
learned that the blowing up of Furnace
II was the result of ''slip."
A large barrow loaded with raw iron ore
had fallen through the huge bell on the
top of the furnace stack. Fourteen men
were engaged in an effort to remove the
barrow from the bell so that it could be
closed. While thus engaged the explo-
sion occurred. aad not one of the men
escaped either death or injury. Work in
every department of the huge plant was
abandoned and all efforts were made for
the rescue of the horribly mangled vic
Tins, who had been hurled in all direc-
tions by the upheaval, which closely re-
sembled a volcanic eruption
