WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-There is pos
sibiIity of serious trouble between this
country and Peru over the $4,000 claim of
V H McCord, a citizen of the United
States, who was robbed and maltreated by
members of the existing Peruvian govern
ment about ten years ago. Secretary Sher-
man sent an ultimatum to Peru ten days
ago and no attention whatever has been
paid to it, although ample time has elapsed
for a reply to have come from Lima. The
administration determined several months
ago to insist on the payment of the claim
and the ultimatum referred to was the re-
suit of the negotiations between the two
governments looking to that end. Peru is
bankrupt in treasury and honor, and the
opinion is expressed in quarters well posted
that the amount may have TO be forcibly
collected by seizure of the custom house
at Lima, as was done by the British two
wears ago, when they swooped down on
Corinto to levy on the customs receipts in
liquidation of a similar claim lodged by an
Englishman against the Nicaraguan gov
eminent.
Official and semi official advices reflect
very serious condition of affairs in that
portion of Central America embraced
within the limits of the five countries which
are trying to consolidate under the name
of Greater Republic" Costa Rica and
Guatemala have not yet given their adhe-
renee to the confederation and information
has been received that they will refuse to
do so. They only have a few weeks In
which to make up their minds as to what
course they will pursue, and with the eX-
piration of the time limit the existing ar
rangement or combination between Hon.
duras, Salvador and Nicaragua will proba-
bly, fall to pieces. If there should be col
lapse in the scheme for greater republic
the failure would be due almost entirely
to the attitude of Costa Rica. And there
is a well grounded fear that the failure OF
the consolidation will result in war which
will involve two or three and possibly all
five of the fiery little republics The atti-
tude of Minister Rodriguez, who repre-
| sents three of these countries in Washing
ton, towards the Nicaragua canal, is said to
have contributed in an important degree to
| the dissatisfaction now existing among the
| five small republics. Mr.. Rodriguez has
been openly charged with being in the
employ of English financial interests an
tagonistic to the building Of the Nicaragua
canal.

LA FIESTA PARK
Afternoon Entertainments for Ladies'
and Children

0A0 011x0k GA
For the coming week there will be
two entertainments at Fiesta park
for the children and ladies at special
matinees Wednesday and Saturday at
8 p. IN. Prof. Marburg, the celebrated
aeronaut, will make an ascension each
day with his big 75-foot balloon, La
Fiesta, and drop from the clouds to
terra frma with baby parachute and
riding a bicycle. The Eagle quartet will
appear in a series of new songs. A
series Of athletic sports for the young
people will be prepared, for which spe-
cial prizes will be given. including chill
dren's gymhanka bicycle races, basket
races, potato races, egg and spoon races,
sack races, etc. There will also be given
little girls bicycle races, climbing the
creased pole, catching the creased pig.
etc. The Fiesta Park band Will be in
attendance. Music and everything will
be done for the comfort and safety of
the little ones. The attendants of the
park will be uniformed; the track rolled
and sprinkled. The idea is to make these
natinees for the little ones a popular
affair-a place where mothers can send
the children to be entertained and
cared for while they are out shopping
or making afternoon calls. At inter-
walls big affairs will be held. like the
coming production of Faust" which
will be the greatest spectacular show
of the season, opening about June 10th.
over 250 people will be on the stage, g
stage of 800 feet being constructed. Over
14,320 square feet Of scenery is being
prepared ard modelled after the castle
Of Nuremberg. There will be ballets
marches, soldiers and fine scenic ef-
fects. The Brocken scene will be pre-
sented, with a series Of tableaux and
fireworks. similar to Paine's great spec
tacular exhibition at Coney Island, At
lantic City, Asbury Park, etc., in the
east, during the summer months each
season.

Announcements

ORPHDUM. - advance Announce
ment.) The bill this week is one Of those
happy family combinations in which
are mixed a wide variety Of specialties
of the circus or6er-concert hall, grand
opera and general vaudeville. 1t will
be an ideal bill from the managerial
standpoint, as it offers something with
in the range of every taste. Adgie and
her lions rank among the greatest at
fractions on the vaudeville stage. The
little Spanish woman is one of the few
| lion tanners of her sex. On account OF
| ner daring and the marked success she
has had in tanning the wild monarch Of
the jungle, she has attained considerable
notoriety, particularly abroad. Since
coming to this country she has created
a veritable sensation at every theater
| in which she has appeared. Her act
| consists of a number of clever tricks
by the lions, after which Senorita Adgie
executes a lively Spanish skirt dance
| in the midst Of her pets. There is
enough of the blood-curdling element in
the turn to give it vim which cannot
fail to make Adgie reigning favorite.
Next on the bill to claim attention
are the Midgleys-a clever couple OF
Juvenile artists. Sager Midgley Is es-
pecially we'll known, and Is reputed to
be one of the best comedians on the
vaudeville stage. Following is a COM
ment taken from the st. Paul Globe:
THE Midgleys, Sager and Fannie. are
show in themselves. Both are good
singers and first class actors. The face
of Sager would stop clock, and the
dancing of Fannie would set it going
again" Marzello and Millay are
dashing pair of horizontal bar perform.
ers, who are said to be not only very
clever acrobats but real jolly comedi-
ans.
Signor Achille Alberti and Nine. An
nina Orlando, who have proved such
drawing card during the week just
past, will remain to grace the bill for
another week There have never been
two better singers at the Orpheum than
Alberti and Orlandi, and the music-lov-
ing public has shown very marked ap-
probation of them Herr Grais, with his
| trained donkey and baboon, Ordway
| Brothers, the finished trick bicyclists,
and Harris and Walters, with a new
turn entitled "X-Rays," complete the
program.
There will be the two usual perform
ances today, the new bill taking the
boards tomorrow evening.
