CAVILL'S DEATH.
1t Was Due to Asphyxiation, and Not
to Drowning.


STOCKTON, May 23.-The death of
Charles Cavill, the noted swimmer,
here last night, is ascribed to a peculiar
cause. 1t is thought he was asphyxi-
ated by gas, instead of being drowned.
The Stockton Baths, where the fatal
exhibition was given, are filled with
water that comes from natural gas
wells, and gas arises with water in the
tank. Cavill's exhibition of staying
under water for several minutes is said
to be a trick to fool people, for the
swimmer used an inverted tub, contain
ing air, in which to breathe while he
was under water. The tub used last
night was placed in the water during
the day and left with sufficient air for
the exhibitor to breathe for several
minutes.
Cavill went down and went under this
tub as he had planned and there died.
It is believed that when the tub was
drawn down under the water it was
filled with gas, which, while not poison
Gus, is deadly, as it causes immediate
asphyxiatiOn. When Cavill got under
this tank and breathed the gas he lost
consciousness.
DrS. Maley and kinkle, who were
called in, say there was no water in the
lungs, and that Cavill was asphyxiated
by gas.
Cavill was born in England, and came
from a family of famous swimmers.
When IL years old he commenced his
racing career and won over 10 races.
During that time he saved twenty-one
persons from drowning at sea, and held
medals from the Royal Humane So
ciety, the National Shipwreck Society
and the Shipwrecked Mariners Society.
He came here recently from Australia
and Immediately acquired notoriety by
swimming across the Golden Gate and
around Seal Rocks, feats that no SWIM
mer bad nreYiOuSlY ACCOMPLISHED.

MUSIC AND DRAMA,
MILK White Flag.


That the Portland theatre, March 1st
and I'd, will have its seating capacity
taxed to its utmost. there can be no
doubt, if one is TO judge by the already
heavy demand for seats. Charles Hoyt
is not only the recognized American
playwright of the day, but he is also the
most successful. In his ten years career
as an author he has written and pro-
duced twelve comedies, and has never had
failure. 1t is doubtful If any theatre
cal attraction has as strong hold upon
theatre going people rs the comedies
offered by Charles Eoyt. 1t may be be-
cause Mr.. Hoyt being an American him
self, knows just what the American pub
lic..wants In, the way of .amusement.4 Be
that as it may, it is safe to predict that
his latest and greatest success g A Milk
White Flag will be royalty received, and
this will not be strange, as it will be the
first presentation of this popular play
wright's masterpiece in this city. 1t
will be given ideatically the same in
every detail as presented at Hoyt's thea
tire, New York, for more than 200 nights.
The cast is big one, numbering about
fifty people, and gonna forty supernumer-
aries are required for the proper presenta-
lion of tho piece. The scenery is herald
cd as being the most elaborate ever seen
