 The London cables sttate that whenever there is a public meeting in London, Ameri- is cheered to the echo. Mention the name of America in any theater, music hall or cafe and the usually antagonistic English man will forget all his grievances and cheer like wild for Uncle Sam. This Is especially so in the theaters and music halls. Let the audience get a glimpse of an American flag and great cheering re- suits. Every American actor in London today gets an ovation the moment he steps upon the stage. These demonstrations are significant of public opinion

 George Musgrove, of the Australian and London theatrical firm is at present in America for the purpose of securing pro- ductions for presentation In Australia. Judging from Mir Musgrove's statements, there is just now dearth of plays In Eng land of the type that would command att tention from Australian audiences. The standard of dramatic art in Australia is of high nature This is due to the fact that there are few, if any, original pro- auctions in that country. MT. Musgrovs thinks 1t speaks well Of American theatri- cal affairs that it has been deemed neces- sary to cross the water in search of good material.

TWO MORE PRIZES
And a Cuban Town Fall Easy Prey to
the American Navy.

Key West, Fla, July 30.-The Span
ish two-masted schooner Gibara, loaded
with fire-wood and charcoal, which
was captured by the Nashville on July
q, while trying to get into the port
of Gabara, on the north Cuban coast
was brought in here this morning by
a prize crew.
The Espresso, another schooner of
tue same size as the Gibara and with
aIika8argo, was taken by the gunboat
Nashville at the same time. Both YES
sells were lying in the harbor and made
no resistance; on the contrary, the men
on board of the two schooners were
eager to be brought to this country,
but Ensign Snow, who took charge of
the Gibara, put the crew Of six ashore
and brought away only the captain,
Miguel Castel, his wife and child, and
cook All the papers aboard both
schooners had been destroyed before
the capture, but it is known both yes
sells ply between Gibara and Havana.
There were about $50 tons on board
each The Gibara is in quarantine
here. The Espresso had not yet ar
rived here
By this time the American flag is
probably flying over Gibara. When the
prize schooner left that place the gun
boat Nashville was preparing to send
men ashore to raise the flag. The Span
iards had evacuated Gibara several
days before and fed to Holguin and
the town in possession of five hundred
Cuban infantry and two hundred cav
airy when the Nashville reached there.
