The popularity of Town Topics as
first class farce comedy is acknowledged,
and this season it's opponents are among
the cleverest artists in the vaudeville
world. Manager Newell has gathered a
group of comedians with a charming en-
semble of pretty condolences, thereby es-
tablishing the prime motive of successful
farce comedy-wit and beauty. He makes
no further claims than the fact that his
lengthy theatrical experience has con-
WINGED him that the public want laughter
and plenty of it. Environ that laughter
with bevy of pretty girls and up-to-
date songs and dances and success is as
sured, particularly so when framed in
play as bright as Town Topics The
piece will be seen at the Crawford thea

LOCAL DRAMATIC NEWS.

Few musical comedies have enjoyed the
prosperity that has fallen to the lot of "A
Breezy Time" This is explained by the
ability with which its managers have al
ways catered to the theatergoing public.
There is never anything old or worn-out
to be seen in "A Breezy Tfme.'' Its
music is always bright and good, and its
specialties novel and up-to-date. Some
of the big features this season are the
Dago serenade, the female clown, Tennis
quartette, three-legged sailor, and a grand
cake walk, which shows up the entire
company in clever absurdity. It will be
seen at the Crawford theater tomorrow
night.

LEAVING HAVANA.
Manprove Ordered to Take on Board
american OHicials.


Key West, March 27.-The most sig
niticant Development that followed tho
announcement OF the courts report-a
development known to but few-was
the sudden sailing of the lighthouse
tender Mangrove for Havana. The
MangrOvc was lying quietly at the
dock loading buoys when orders came
about : O'Clock in the afternoon for
her to proceed with all haste to Ha-
vara and to take on board all the
American officials in that city with
the exception of Consul General Lee
1t is feared here that the knowledge Of
the courts report has excited Ha-
vana's population and brought an anti
American sentiment to climax. Of
iicers of high rank were still reticent.
Rear Admiral Sicard, however, said:
THE court of inquiry brought in find
ings according to what it's members
believed. Nothing could have made
them do otherwise If they had been
able TO fix the responsibility | feel
sure they would not have shirked this
duty" The attention of Rear Admiral
Sicard was drawn to the fact that
Spain had officially denied that Ha-
yana harbor was mined. He replied:
should certainly have mined it. The
water there is shallow and especially
suited to such method of defence.
SPANS denial had nothing to do with
the court of inquiry. | should not be-

IpcXamplcd Action In All Oficial
Quarters.

Quarters.
Washington, March -. The last
day before the arrival of the report of
the Maine court of inquiry was one
of uneXampled activity in all official
quarters. AdviceS came early that
the Spanish torpedo flOtiila had sailed
from the Canaries for Porto Rico and
from this moment the most energetic
warlike measures followed one an
other in constant succession. The
movement of this feet has been
watched with the keenest interest. as
1t was felt to involve serious posi-
bilities which might compel the Unit
ed States government to protest
against the movement as of hostile
character. Immediately on the re-
ceipt of the official dispatch from one
Of our naval attaches abroad. briefly
announcing the sailing Of the fleet. the
fact was made known to the president
and an earnest conference was held
between him and Secretary Long and
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt. The
seriousness of the movement was full
ly considered and the president was
advised that naval strategists regard
ed 1t as essential that this torpedo
fleet should not be allowed to reach
Western waters. What, If any. con
cluSiOn. was reached, is not known.
Later in the day the Spanish minister
called ut the state department and
spent some time with Judge Day. 1t
was naturally inferred that the APP
proach of the Spanish tiOtilla was one
Of the subjects referred to. Whether.
however there was any suggestion
against the move was not disclosed by
either Judge Day or the Spanish min
lister both of whom maintained the
stricteSt reticence. An important
move is the determination To create
Joint commission from the war and
navy departments so as to bring them

Harmonious Action
OH all measures. Capt. Barker. the
naval aide of Secretary Long, was
designated to represent the navy de-
partment in this common plan of ac
ton. The representative of the wal
department has not yet been named.
II will not be necessary for these two
officers to leave Washington, as they
can best arrange joint plan of action
in conference with the two depart
ments here. At the close of the day
came an announcement that the navy
department had succeeded in purchas-
ing eight steam yachts and four steam
tugs. The boats are about 400 tons
each. and in an emergency would be
suitable as torpedo boats. Throughout
the day the White House presented an
animated appearance, senators and
representatives from both political
parties calling, to confer with the pres
ident. The president said to several
of his visitors in discussing the stu
alton. that he would do everything
consistent with the honor and dignity
Of the country TO avert war, and he
still believed war could be averted.

287,327 Acres.

A report of the land that has been
transferred from the government to
individuals through homestead claims
had just been made out and as soon
as the holdings in each county are
listed they will be forwarded to the
county officers for entry on the list of
taxable property. OF the entire
amount 237, 1927 acres have passed out
of the hands Of the government and
1858 acres belonged to the state. St.
Louis stands at the head of the list
with 36,9O7 acres and Itasca county
comes next with 1S,6OS acres. From
this amount the number runs down
to as low as eighty acres In a single
county and some counties are entirely
free from government holdings.
