-"fhs Derby winner"
Last evenings production Of "a

large audience at Harper's theatre.
The play. although yet in its anfancy.

effect, this owing to the able and
we'll assigned company. A pretty
drama with stirring climaxes and
nice scenic accessories. an abundance
Of up-to-date specialties are inter-
mingled with charming effect. The
characterization of Jack Hardy by
]. Francis Kirke and George Stone
by Louis Morrison were very strong.
As the tramp, Charles r. Sweet has
very few equals. He caught the au-
disnce from the start and his comic
atty seemed to grow with the play.
The balance of the company was
good and withal furnished q splen-

his old war experiences. His de-
scriptiOn of his war troubles with
Gen. Grant and how he ssfit NIT Sic

resistably funny and never fails to
make hit. Arthur Rherns,

THEY WERE NOT iLL-TREATEO
Stories About Italians Employed at Poca-
hontas.
Result of nm Inquiry Made Of the
State Department by the
Italian Ambassadors.

Yesterday the Department of State, at
the instance of Baron Fava, the italian
ambassador, telegraphed the governor OF
Virginia that it was represented that 1875
Italians had contracted in New York to
work for the Southwest Virginia Improve
ment Company as stone cutters and that
Baron Fava was advised that they were
being ill-treated, deprived Of food and de-
tanned by force at Pocahontas; that the
company was endeavoring to force them to
work in the coal mines In the place OF
striking miners. contrary to their contract.
and that Virginia troops were coercing
them.
The department requested the governor
to institute a prompt investigation. and
give due protection in case of need, should
their contract be violated. This morning
the department received a telegram from
Gov. OFerrall, saying that he had COM
municated with the commandant of Vfr-
gnia troops at Pocahontas. and had been
informed by him that rations were issued
daily to Italians; that they had brought
with them a good supply Of bread and
sausage, and seemed to have some money,
and that there was no suffering or desti-
tuition: that 1874 were at work, and LOG, not
desiring to work, were put upon the cars
and returned to New York. The governor
said that he was sure these men were put
urder guard simply as a precautionary
measure. These facts were promptly COM
municated to Baron Fava.

Citizens Protest Against Il so-Called
Improvement.
A delegation of property owners and citi-
zens residing on 4th street southeast ap-
peared before the Commissioners this
morning to protest against the improve
ments now going on upon that street.
The delegation was headed by Rev. DR.. M.
T. B. Rice, who explained the case. He
said the residents had been trying for
ten years more to get the pavement of
4th street south of North Carolina avenue
improved. The present pavement was one
of the last Jobs of the old board of public
works, and should never have been laid.
1t is formed Of irregular pieces of trap,
rock, and on account of the wear and tear
Is now one of the worst pieces of pave
msnt in the city. A force Of men are now
at work taking up the Objectionable pave
ment, but only in the center of the street,
leaving the original stone intact about two
yards from the cutters on Their side. The
stone that is being taken up Is being
broken into small pieces and relaid. AS
citizens they protested against such i'm
provement, and would much rather have
good dirt road 10 any such arrangement.
The present so-ealled improvement Is not
regarded as desirable. and they protest
against it and request that the labor and
work upon it be suspended.
A petition, setting forth these facts and
signed by large number Of the residents
and property owners was left with the
Commissioners. who promised to give it
their earnest consideration.

SAN DIEGO. CAL, May 22.-The British
gunboat Wild Swan has arrived here, hav-
ing sailed from Corinto on May, 5. She
will take on coal here and clear Saturday
for Esquimault. One of the officers denied
the report that Admiral Stevenson had
stated that the reason for occupying Co.
rinto was to test the validity Of the Mon
roe doctrine, and positively asserted that
the United States government was work
ing in harmony with Great Britain through
out the entire matter. He said that Eng
land and Secretary Gresham were kept In
formed by Admiral Stevenson of every
move, both before and after the occupation,
and that the dispatches giving this in
formation, both to the English and Ameri-
can governments, were carried by the
Wild Swan from Corinto to SAN Juan Del
Sur.
No attention was paid to the reports that
an American fleet was on the way down
the coast, as they had been previously in
formed that the Monterey would not stop
at Corinto, but was bound for Callao.
