An attraction is 6ated for February
that will interest a good many of our
citizens. 1t is the appearance at the
theater of the celebrated George Ken

who will give a running account OF
camp life in Kalnchatka, OF a lecture
by him on this subject, the New YORK

others, as their expressions proved
while they gazed upon it. All peoples
souls are not stirred by the same
means. but if there is poetry in ones
soul ait all it is usally stirred by any
thing that is grand. So that if noun
tainS are grand they. must be poetic.
Poetry is the expression of excited
and exalted imagination. Where
would one go to excite and elevate
his imagination if not to the noun
tainS? We are all poets on the noun
tain top. People who sell soap and
sugar on Main street or advertise
pants at $3.50 when in town. may be
found writing verses on the banks
of Lake Mary or composing invoca-
lions to the gods on the SUBMITS above
Alta. If one has a spark of poetry in
him it will l1indle as he ascends any
one of our canyons and burst into a
flame while he threads the dark pine
forests or watches the white clouds
form and vanish among the snow
filled cleftS of the sun-lit peaks. Every
poet We ever had amongst US, worthy
of the name, Mrs. Carmichael Mrs.
Snow, Bishop Whitney. Miss Spencer
among them, have found inspiration
from our mountains and have lifted
up their voices to their praise. and we
would like to meet that zone of our
ableSt writer's who found every
thing about our mountains to be an
tagonistic to the poetic spirit" If he
has been correctly quoted, he is I'M
worthy to WELD the pen and is
cankered in heart, for all the great
ones Who have gone before have felt
in their souls that the very spirit of
poetry abides in the mountains and
only descends once in a while TO
touch the heart of a. valley poet like
Wordsworth, Shakespeare and Isaiah,
I Milton, Moses and Mahommed, Byron,
Scott, Moore, Ruskin, Jeremiah, David
how many others have felt their
wings freed when they sung of 'the
mountains that shall bring peace to
the people" How the old poet
prophets loved them and how they
threatened woes for We that forget
my holy mountain" For in this
mountain Isaiah says, shall the
hand of the Lord rest
We have said before that it is a
blessed thing that artists think and
| feel differently, that there are varied
aims for each and all. So. also, there
is almost infinite beauty in the varied
attributes of valley scenery and an
abundance of subject matter for the
| painters who love to work there. And
it is a blessed thing that there are
mountains besides, with their separate
beauties and those that are inter
woven with valley scenery. The
valley painter thinks his theme is the
best; the mountain painter is still
more certain of his ground. He
thinks the gnarled old pinion pine is
finer than the poplar, that the eagle
is nobler than the meadCW-lark. that
| the bear and the elk surpasS the fox
| and the hare; that the rushing tor
rent out-thrills the sluggish brook
and so they continue at cross pur-
poses-as we hope they always WILL
for it would be a dull day in land
i scape art if all sought the same sub
i jects; and the only improvement we
wish for is that each devotee will
accord fair Judgment to the other fo1
4 his choice.

Frederick Warde and Louis James
will play their annual engagement at
The Salt Lake theater, commencing
Monday, January IS, and continuing
for four nights. They VIII present the
most attractive features of their rep
ertoire. which includes ''Othello,'
Francesca de Renini," Julius Cae-
sar." ''Richelieu," Henry W. and
Richard III"
Referring to the production of
Henry w. which is a special feature
of the engagement, the Atlanta Con-
stitution says: The production is on
grand scale. The company is large
and we'll balanced, the costumes are
elegant. the scenery-all carried by the
company is beautiful. Nothing finer
has ever been seen here"
In the Warde-James production Of
"Richelieu'', Mr.. Warde assumes the
title role, and his representation of
the willy cardinal has been considered
BY many acute observers as his best
work. He saturates the leOnine ma

lovely melancholy during those mo-

NEWS FROM CUBA.
Late AdviceS Report Spanish Defeat-Campos Becomes TYanical in His Actions-A
 Rebel Defeat Is Noted.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 15.-A cable gram to the Times Union from Key West, Fla, says: Latest advices re- ceived in this city from Havana state that General Gomez has entered Cama- guey, and in the battle fought there the Spanish troops were defeated and that many were killed and captured The Spanish general, Echague. was one of the captured.
 Campos returned to Havana yesterday on the steamship Villa Verde from the Central Constancia sugar plantation. Campos has granted the right of way 10 the Sabanilla and Morodo Railroad com pany to extend the road from Song to Maya and be in readiness to transport troops into the interior. This concession to the Sabanillo and Morodo company is made to give employment to the thou sands of idle men, Campos fearing that the unemployed may join the revolution ists.
 General Campos called all the Spanish officers before him and cited the case of Lieutenant Gualano, stating that the same punishment will be meted out to them in case they are unfortunate enough to be defeated by the insurgents This has caused a good deal of diScon- tent among the officers.
 On the 18th the case of Manuel Fuentes the New Yorw World correspondent, was decided, he being not guilty. The prompt action of the United States department alone saved Fuentes from being gar roted. He has issued a protest and will make claims for heavy damages.
 The insurgents, under the command of Masso. ditched a train loaded with arms and ammunition for the Spanish troops near Bargas, Guantanamo. Three or four were killed. Masso took all the arms and ammunition.
 The insurgents under the command of Antonio Maceo, after capturing the town of Fl Cristo fired the same.
 II is reported that Marcos Garcia, mayor of Sante Spiritua, has been shot, supposedly by the insurgents. He was threatened with death by Gomez if he opposed the revolution some time since.
