THE SPANISH INSULT

slant, the United States mail steamer AL
liancia, on her hOmeward voyage from
the coast OF Cuba, off Cape Maysi,
was repeatedly fired upon by a
Spanish gunboat with solid
shot, which fortunately fell short. The
windward passage, where this occurred,
Is the natural and usual highway for YES

United States ard the Caribbean sea, and
through it several regular lines OF Ameri-
can mail and commercial steamers pass
weekly, within sight Of, Cape Mays'.
They are well known and their voyage
embraces no Cuban port OF call. Forcibe
interference with them cannot be
claimed as a bellgerant act,
whether they pass within three
miles Of the Cuban coast or not
and can, under no circumstances, be toll
Grated, when no state OF war exists. This
government will expect prompt diSa-
vowal of the unauthorized act and due
expressions of regret on the part of Spain,
and 1t must insist that immediate and
positive orders must be given to the
Spanish naval commander not to inter.
fere with legitimate American commerce
passing through that channel, and pro-
hibiting all acts wantonly importing the
life and property lawfully under the flag

The original tank" drama will be pre-
sented Sunday and Monday evening and
Monday matinee, at Opera House at 3 p.
m. The following from the Baltimore
American" gives an idea of the charac
ter Of the play:
Lost in New York; was the attrac-
ton at the Holiday street theatre last
night. Hundreds tlOcked TO see the pro-
ductiOn of the clever comedy drama, and
the demonStrative manner in which the
entire company was applauded for its
work is an evidence that the perfor-
nance will prove the star attraction Of
the season at Manager Rifles theatre.
In Lost in New York" the audience is
treated to a startling series OF innovation
that have heretofore been foreign in the
productions of dramas of similar char
acter. Blood curdling episodes and sit
uations have been abandoned, and In
their place has been substituted plot
that deals with all the realities OF human
nature, and one that is interesting and
gracefully played by a good company:
life in New York, the plot Ringing upon
the vicissitudes OF an unfortunate waif.
The action of the play carries number
of the victims to Wards Island Insane
Asylum. In this scene tank Of immense
proportions, estimated TO hold 80 tons OF
water, is brought into prominence. A
miniature steamboat is run at full speed,
landing passengers at divers points, and
together with the accurate scenic repres-
entations of the east water front OF the
empire city, and the presence OF marine
crafts Of all descriptions, the scene reach
es the acme OF stage realism. The scenic
effects, however, do not OvershadOW the
clever work Of the members of the COM
