TRIAL OF THE PORTER.
The GunbOat Comes Up to All the
Governments Expectations.

Ihe Gunboat Comes Up to All the
Governments Expectations.
New York, June 1.-THE United States
torpedo boat Porter was put through her
manouvering PAGES to-day and came up
to all expectations The board of inspec-
tors was taken down to the lower bay in
the morning.
The little black flyer cut her way
through the waters and although no at
tempt was made to obtain phenomenal
speed, all other craft were quickly left
behind. Once out of the channel the work
of testing the torpedo guns was begun.
Three torpedoes were fired Two worked
excellently, but the third was not success
full, as the locking device refused to work.
Then the little flyers ability to twist and
turn was exhibited. Her turning circle
was found to be about LOO feet. In re-
versing from fun speed ahead to full speed
astern and vice versa, she proved a Won
der, taking only twenty-five seconds and
moving less than her own length, before
she gained momentum in the direction de-
sired.
After various tests of her manouvering
qualities the Porter brought the board OF
inspectors back to the city. These gentle
men expressed great satisfaction over the
result of the trip.

SPAIN FEARS INTERVENTION.
Action by the United states Likely to
BE bitterly Resented.

He Bitterly Resented.
London, June 12.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Standard says: "The Ma
drid papers re-echo the popular anxiety
and curiosity concerning the attitude
which the United States will adopt IN the
face Of the recent events. The sensa-
ton caused by the reports of a change of
attitude increased when IL was announ ced
that American tribunals had acquitted flli-
busters, who had been stopped by an
American man-of-war. Much suppre ssed
indignation can be discerned between the
lines of the press articles, of every shade
of opinion, bitterly resenting the idea Of
American interference In Cuba Every
thing shows that Spain IS drifting again
into strained relations with the United
States Indeed, Spaniards are convinced
that the significance OF the issue lies
in the fact that the queen re-
gent has given the Canovas-Wey-
Ter regime another trial, chiefly
because the premier and captain general
are considered best able to show a bold
front and to act with energy in case Pres
ident Mckinley and Secretary Sherman
should decide to intervene upon humanita-
rian and phlanthropic grounds.
ANY suggestion of mediation shows
but little knowledge Of the temper and
feelings of the Spaniards. Any such step
on the part OF America would induce all
parties, even the republicans and the Car
lists, to rally round the cabinet.
Although the Official press affect to
feel confidence in the friendly disposition
OF America, 1t Is easy 10 detect unusual
anxiety as 10 the news from Washing

Miles City, Mont, June u.-Sheriff
Gibbes reached here this evening, having
in custody Yellow Hair and Sam Grow,
the two Cheyenne Indians implicated in
the Hover murder. Agent Stouch called
the Indians all in and the arrests were
made by the sheriff, no resistance being
offered.
Chief White Bull is still at liberty. but
can be arrested at any time. The sheriff
did not think it advisable to arrest him
until matters had subsided a little.
Indian Agent Stouch, who sent a dis
patch to the department at Washington
stating that he feared to make the arrests
because Of the consequences that might
follow, received the following reply: Make
the arrests and meet the consequences"
This decided action of the war depart
ment settled all the trouble between the
Indians, white men and military authori-
ties.
As soon as the Indians learned that Or
ders from Washington had been received
to arrest them they realized that IL would
be useless TO put up a fight and no further

Digby Bell and his wife Laura Joyce
Bell last appeared before a Salt Lake
audience. The occasion, if we mistake
not was the presentation of Madame

the lamented John HoWson played a
prominent part. Since those days, and
the days when he essayed roles like
that in THE Tar and the Tartar Mr..
Bell has gone into more serious work,

taken a wide departure from any Of

that accorded him in any of his former

The managers of the Broadway the

McCourt and Giffen state that the sud-

a stock company producing popular
plays at low prices. Several of the
members of the stock company which
played at the Broadway last season
became immensely popular with the
theatre going people of Denver, and it
was desirable that some of them should
return this season, but Mr.. Giffen states
that he was unable to secure Miss

c1ARA 6-QYnARDE

Dear Hal: Nov 90
We took off our hats and with a
graceful obeisance, conveyed to Mr.
Charles Frohman during the past week
the assurance of our distinguished ap-
probation of his having made us his
extreme western outpost. Under the
Red Robe" we are told, is the last of
his companies which Mr.. Frohman will
ass-sae the risk of sending farther west
than Salt Lake, and if they all get
such a reception as that accorded this
company, there is no reason to fear
that any other western town viii rise
10 dispute our right to be known as
the dramatic terminus.
But Mr.. Frohman must not walk
away With the notion that the profuse
and generous patronage we gave his
company is a sure criterion for the
future Even in the midst OF the crush
at Under the Red Robe there were
mutterings of discomfort over the quail
ity of the players-or some Of them. l
rather fancy the unusual success OF the
enga cement was due to reaction from
the Vulgarity of In Gay New York;
unsatisfactory as some Of Frohman' S
lesser people We're, II was like getting up
into one OF our canyons ont OF the
smoke of First South street to witness
them after the nausea of leg shows we
have of late been afflicted with. It's a
healthy reaction, and long may it con-
tinue. II was a matter of regret that
we were unable to accord viii Morris
all the old time praise, but it wasn't
his fault. De Berault is the sort OF
roysterer that Walter Hale was as
Reintzan in THE Prisoner of Zenda,
or that Salvini was as D'Artagnan. To
make the ideal De Berault, Morris
would have to be manufactured anew
He's a modern hero to perfection; but
wigs. swords and knee breeches seem
rather to weight him down. Mr.. Froh-
man might have picked up so unem-
ployed actors on Broadway who would
make better Richelieus than Giles
ShiYe. It's perhaps because we have
been accustomed to see that charac-
ter portrayed by Barrett or Keene

but Mr. Frohman could easily have
done better.
