Honolulu, May 1, per steamer Monowai
San Francisco, May 9.-The British bark
Centaur, Captain l. s. Bestor, was burn
ed and abandoned at sea April IL. The
captain and crew of % men arrived at

She Is the Queen of Her Class-TriaI
Trip Tomorrow.

Santa Barbara, Cal, May 1O.-The bat
tleship Oregon, the official trial of which
will be made on Tuesday, is the queen of
her class. The Oregon arrived here from
San Francisco this morning and her be-
havior on the trip caused Irving NJ. Scott
her builder, to express the belief that on
her official trip she will beat the record of
her sister ship, the Massachusetts,. Ad-
miral Beardslee shares the opinion of Mr..
Scott. On the trip down the coast the
Oregon made Is or IS miles at the rate of
1854 knots an hour and not even then was
pressed to her full capacity. AS the off,
cial record of the Massachusetts is only
1918 knots, the performance of the Oregon
places her at the head of her class of
battleships.

SPAIN is BETWEEN TWO FIRES
London News Says the Spanish Ought
to Distrust Their own FerOcity.


to Distrust Their own FerOcity.
London, May 10.-The Daily News will
say in an editorial tomorrow regarding
the cases of the Competitor captives in
Havana:
The serious news from Cuba places the
Spanish government between two fires. 1t
is difficult to see how either side can re-
cede. If the Spanish government sacri-
fees General Weyler 1t will probably have
to be prepared to sacrifice its own life.
Public opinion in Madrid is hardly well
informed enough to profit by the Virgin
ius case in 1878. The Spanish ought to
dIstrust their own natural ferocity in
cases of this sort. The butchery of the
men of the Virginius, which many of
trem applauded at the time as a fine and
spirited act, was received with horror and
execration throughout the world.

friends get him into all but separates
him from his wife and just escapes
sending him to prison for life.
The piece is one of the best comedies
that has been seen at the Grand this
season.
The cast is we'll balanced and con-
tains a number of clever actors. Mr..
Basil West was most excellent as the
doctor. Mr.. Harvey Beresford inter
prets the fake doctor in a highly artis-
tic manner. Miss Marie Doran appears
as DIR. Browns wife, giving to it a fin
ished performance that is praiseworthy
in every respect. Miss Merrill, a very
clever little actress, has but little to do,
but she makes the most of her part.
Miss Louise Courtney looks charming
as the maid. Miss Tessie beagle was
also good, and her dance in the first act
was capitally executed, Others deserv-
ing of special mention are Edward
Grace, Henry Trageser A. Amanne,
Miss Ida Brown and Miss Marie Taylor.
