rHEATRICALS AT FOLSOM.
"Rip Van Wrinkle" Helps to Liqui-
 date a Church Debt.

FOLSOM. March 9-"Rip Van Wrinkle" was presented here tonight, and in the cast of characters were the familiar names of William Calder, Frederick San ford and Mrs. and Miss Calder, besides several young folks residing In Folsom. The round after round of applause which greeted MT. Calder must have reminded him of similar event which took place twenty-five years ago in the city of Portland, Me, when the original produc- tion of "Rip Van Winkle' was given with MT. Calder in the part which has since given him fame and fortune on both sides of the Atlantic. While the name of Joseph Jefferson is inseparably linked with the grand old play, the Rip Van Wrinkle of MT. Calder is deserving of a niche by the side of Jefferson. where no 1aureIs will be taken from either brow, but will remain to bear equal testimony to renown well earned.
 Since MT Calder'S retirement from the stage he has taken up his home among the groves and orchards of Orange Vale, a settlement in the northern portion of Sacramento County, along the banks of the historic American River. Within this settlement there is "a little church. and as is usually the case, this little church has a debt to pay. But for that benevo- lent purpose the people of Folsom may to-niebt. The hall where the perform ance took place was by no means large enough to comfortably seat the audience which found in it's numper people 1ol forty miles around.
 iU Tie complete cast was as follows: RiI Van Wrinkle, William Calder; Derrick Frederick Sanford; Heindrick. H. l.: Lut traII. Nick Vedder. T. B. Hagarty: Phan tom Dwarf, D. McDonald: Seth. F. T Taylor: Cokles. w. A. Lyman; Gretchen Mrs. William Calder Mennie. Miss Dors Calder: Heindrick, Ethel Brahe; Mennie Miss Mampe.
 Mrs William Calder and her daughter Miss Dora, were exceptionally clever 1T their portrayal of their respective parts %L,@ ,-< ne-f fea6 self in the very best manner. There was a large attendance from Sacramento.

ton. It seems equally certain if not accompanied by it will be closely fol- lowed by a further representation to Spain in the direction of securing prompt peace in Cuba
 I am assured, upon the highest au- thority, that the President, while not having any definite intervention policy in view, does contemplate an early move in the direction of securing the independence of Cuba. He will adopt the means which will be the least likely to provoke war, but will not shirk the responsibility of acting through any fear of war.
 If the Maine matter can be settled promptly and satisfactorily the Presi- dent, if existing conditions continue, will first propose a settlement of the Cuban question on the purchase basis that is, the Cubans to be given their independence by agreeing to pay DOT tion of the war debt payment to be 1 guaranteed by the United States. Ii | this should fail, then it is believed that | the President would go to the extent i of recognizing the independence o1 Cuba, and then allow Spain to say fol 1 herself whether she wanted to make war on the United States for adopting l such a course.
 Every cent of the s5O,OOO, 900 appropri
 ated for national defense will be ex- pended, whether there is certainty o1
 war or not. All hands are proceeding on the theory that nothing is more cer- tain to prevent hostilities than thor
 ough preparation. Even though the Maine disaster and the Cuban question may both be peacefully settled, the amount appropriated can be spent with i advantage in preparing the country for | the next emergency.

 It is appreciated by the authorities that Spain will be unable to send a force of vessels against the cities of the Pacific Slope or to even send an errand cruiser, as great difficulty would be ex- perienced in obtaining coal, which is contra band of war, and which South American countries would be allowed to sell to vessels only in order to get to their nearest home ports.

She will be ready within a week, and from present indications she will be di- rected to proceed to Hongkong, via Honolulu There has been some talk Of bringing the -battleship around to the Atlantic Coast, and of assigning her to Rear Admiral Sicard's force, but the vessel would take at least two months to make the voyage, besides the rum ming danger of not being able to coal at South American ports in case war should be declared.
 The advantages which would result in adding the Oregon to the Asiatic station are considered so great by the naval authorities that the vessel will probably be sent to Hongkong to join the cruiser Baltimore, which will leave Honolulu on March 15 for China The cruisers Olympia, Raleigh and Boston and the gunboats Concord and Petrel are at Hongkong.
 This determination of the authorities to increase the Asiatic squadron by the addition of the Oregon is not based upon information that the Spanish Government has sent any vessel to- re- enforce its squadron in Philippine wa ters. So far as the authorities are ad- vised, Spain is represented in the East by only six ships, all of small tonnage. They are the cruisers Isla de Cuba, Isla de Luzon, Don Antonio Ulloa and Don Juan de Austria, each of 113O tons displacement, and the Velasco of 1152 tons. The Oregon would be needed. however, for her heavy guns to reduce the fOrtifica- tions of Manila and other ports and for the large number of men she car ries. who could be used for landing a party.
 Recognizing that the detachment of the Oregon from the Pacific station will considerably weaken the force pro- tecting the Pacific Slope, Secretary Long has issued orders to have the cruiser Philadelphia placed in commits sion within forty days. The depart ment directed that the Philadelphia be repaired, so as to be available for one years sea service. Working night and day, this will take forty days.
 To obviate the necessity of making a large shipment of guns to San Fran cisco for the cruiser, the department has given instructions that the six 6- inch breech-loading guns now on board the Yorktown be transferred to the Philadelphia. Six additional 6-inch guns will be sent from the founcry to San Francisco for the Charleston and Yorktown. The Yorktown will not be ready for service under three months, but the Charleston will be ready in three weeks, the men working three shifts a day. For the protection of the Pacific Coast the United States will then have on the Pacific Slope the mon itors Monadnock and Monterey, the
