BRITISH ALSO INTERFERE.

BRITISH ALSO INTERFERE.
It has become known that the Brit
ish consul has also interviewed in the
name Of his government on behalf CT
the Competitors captives, sentenced to
death. He inyokes clemency for the
prisoners.
This action of the British govern
ment in the cause has caused a sensa-
ton here. and it has been the topic OF
comment to-day by all social classes in
the community.
1t would be difficult to say from any
admission made in official quarters
what effect this new development will
have in the case. There is a marked
absence of irritability manifested in
the comments Oh the subject and the
action of the British official seems to
have been taken in very good part. II
is pointed out that the Intervention OF
the British consul IS couched
IN VERY DIFFERENT FORM
from that of the United States Consul
General, and is, in fact, expressed in
very friendly terms, invoking the elem
ency of the Cuban authorities.
The question of the execution of the
captives Of the Competitor is recogniz-
ed to be one of the most important
which has occurred since the insurrec-
ton broke out. Now that the question
has been offered to the government at
Madrid. the situation here has Quieted
down. though there is no cessation OF
interest and discussion of the question.
The attitude of the public is rather one
of waiting on the resolution of che
Madrid government. The waiting is
attended by much impatience and no
| Little anxiety.

large audience at Metropolitan Hall last

wonderful technique and finish, q compo-
sition by David, and as an encore n
variation on "Twickenham Terry"
Miss Gumaer has an unusually deep,
fine contralto, and sings with great ex-

by request, she gave as one Of her num-
bers. 'The Holy City" The Viola de

Garotte Pizzicato by Lacome, and Dance
Caresse by Gillet, being especially beau
tiful. The entire pragram was delight
full. and it is hopedthe Mozart Symphony
