Combined Naval Force of
Spain to Strike.

LISBON, May 4.-Ncws has been re-
ceived here to the effect that the Span
ish Cape Verde squadron has returned
to join the squadron at Cadiz, which is
now almost ready for the sea. The
combined naval forces of Spain will
shortly be sent to American waters, and
Spain will then strike with one united
blow for the honor of the country and
the satisfaction of the Queen. 1t is eX-
pected that within few days the great
est battle ever fought will take place
somewhere in the vicinity of Cuba. If
the United States demolishes the Span
ish navy, the next step will doubtless
be the capture and occupation of Cuba
and Porto Rico.

Dispatch Boat from Manila.

Hone KONG, May 4-The United
States dispatch boat Mccullough has ar
rived in Mrs Bay. Sheleft before the
Manila battle and no information could
be given further than is s'already known.
1t is not likely that any word will be re-
ceived from Dewey for several days as
he would probably not hive sent dis
patch boat until his whole mission has
been accomplished. On the other hand
it is probable that Us soon as he gains
control of Manila that he would establish
the cable communication which has been
cut probably by the Spaniards as soon
as the bombardment began. There is
II strange mystery about the whole af-
fair and it may not be solved for several
DAYS. Some fears for the safety of
Dewey have been expressed on account
Of the fact of his being so far from Il
base OF ordnance supplies and the pos
sibili'y OF a crippled condition of his
ships. There is little doubt that he has
already captured Manila but as be has
but 800 available landsmpn there are
grave fears us to whether he will be able
to maintain his position without REIN
forccnpniS.

ONLY A CLERICAL ERROR.

Fire Commissioner Scannel thought yesterday
that he had discovered a garing error In the
Greater New-York Charter and that the error
would prevent the payment Of pensions to the
widows and orphans Of iremen. The charter d.
reefs the payment as pensions certain percentages
OF tho tax collected from foreign fire insurance
companies doing business in the city. and when the
los instead OF 100 Mr.. Scannell asked the Cor,
porat!on Counsel to suggest legislation to amend
Counsel ii was said that the supposed error In the
charter was due to a Typographical error OF the
original copy it Is stated in the case of the Fire
mans Fund for Brooklyn Western District. that
% per cent shall be paid instead OF Is per cent
given I'm the copies. Inc Corporation Counsel does
not think that this will make necessary amend
ment to the charter, The error will be regarded
merely as d clerical one.

AN ECHO OF THE PASSION PLAY
From The Cleveland Plain Dealer

Fifteen years ago" said an old CLEVELAND
playgoer, James O'Neill and William Seymour
were both members of the famous stock or
ganization at Baldwins Theatre, San Francisco.

the performance. which the only time the
Obergammergau spectacle was initiated this
country. He said:
Tom Mcguire was manager at the Baldwin
at the time and requested O'Neill to play the
part Of Christ At first O'Neill refused, al
though. according TO the terms of the contract.
he was compelled to play any part assigned him
by the management. ONeill heard however.
that Saint Morses play had been approved by
Bishop Allemani OF the Catholic Church In
California and then consented 10 mpersonate
the character. ONeill was known among the
members Of the company good fellow, and
willing TO take and give" in the war Of
jests and jokes. on the evening OF the first per-

forced tribute to the holiness Of his appearance
Really, to O'Nelll that performance was not

all due reverence 10 their sacred meaning and
the whole performance was In the nature OF a
great Biblical lesson. Rough miners In the
audience were seen to fall on their knees and
pray, while the women were unable to restrain
their tears. II WAS surely the most impressive
