STOLEN FROM NEw YoRK BROKER.
Henry A. Doty Charged With Theft of n
 Diamond Pin.

Detective Owen Daly last evening ar rested on State street Henry A. Dcty of 25S East street on the charge of steal ing a diamond stick pin from J B. Cummings, New York broker. The theft is alleged to have occurred on the day of the Yale Harvard football game, November 19 last. It seems that MT. Cummings with two other New Workers came up to New Haven to attend the game and at the close of the game hir- ed a carriage in which to ride back to the city. Near the exit from Yale field man whom the New Workers had met at the game was invited to get in their carriage and ride in with them.
 The invitation was accepted and the party was driven to a prominent hotel ill the central part of the city, where the quartet alighted. They sat in the cafe together for a short time and the stranger left. Shortly after he had gone MT. Cummings missed his dia- mond pin. He at once suspected the picked up acquaintance, who had just
 
 about o'clock on the evening after the game and made known his loss, giving the detectives a rather meagre descrip- tion of the man whom he suspected and whose name he did not know. The To- cal detectives have been working on the case since and last Friday Detective Daly found the lost pin. It was in the possession of a respectable citizen who had traded watch for it. It was learned by Detective Daly that the pin had been obtained from Doty and the latter was taken to the police station and questioned. The evidence against him was not sufficient to warrant hold ing him then, and he was let go. Dur ing the time which intervened between Friday night and yesterday afternoon Detective Daily secured additional evil dence and arrested Doty last night. The prisoner answers the description given by MT. Cummings, who will be communicated with to-day. The pin, which has been. recovered, is in the shape of horse shoe. In the center is an opal. which is surrounded by four small diamonds. It is valued at $200.

The Symphony Concert,

The second concert of the New Ha- ven symphony orchestra was given at the Hyperion theater yesterday after noon before a large audience. Isadore Troostwyk, the excellent concert mas ter of the orchestra, was the soloist of the occasion. Mr. Troostwyk played the Lalo Symphonic Espagnole" and was received with considerable enthu- siasm. The programme was begun with Weber's familiar and brilliant overture to Der Freischutz" The opening measures were not well played, but it was difficult work for the horns and when the allegro came things went bet ter and the finale was given with tre- mendous verve and spirit. Next came the Lalo Symphonic Espagnole" play ed by MT. Troostwyk. The work has been performed only a few times in this country. It was played on Sunday night in New York at the Carnegie hall under Paur's direction by prodigy called "Sada." The performance was pronounced inadequate. MT Troostwyk pleiy Sb dCiIS dlii q hCpl VI 5 dtl~ tude is owing him for giving us an op- portunity to hear this new work. It is more deliberately and carefully worked out than most concertos, which is prob ably the reason for the composers hav- ing designated 1t symphony. Mir. Troostwyk played the work sympa- thetically and very Brilliantly and tech nically and was enthusiastically receiv- ed. He received a fine laurel wreath and was recalled several times.
 Next came the Bach suite arranged by Bachrich one of the most difficult things the orchestra has attempted. It was beautifully performed and was one of the most enjoyable things the or chestra has given up. Then came the lovely Haydn symphony in Dwhich was especially well played and made fine conclusion to an admirable programme.
 The next concert is on the 18th of January, and MT. Gyllim Miles of New York, baritone, will be the soloist.

previous held my first religious ser vice in Cuba.
 Hard tack, bacon and coffee made up the internal rations which we had all through. Volunteers are willing to do the best they can.
 Wherever vultures fly you can know there has been a battle and these ter rible birds followed us all along. The Spaniards had gone through the towns and simply wiped them out. The Span ish fighting was eXtermination. Our regiment started for San Juan. I never had tent while in Cuba.
 Tt was almost impossible to get up the artillery owing to the mud the worst mud you ever saw in your life The mud was so deep twelve mules shoot them. Only ten pieces of artillery were got forward. We were without food for four days. I had to beg hard tack. Then three days rations were brought up. We started at S:S0 a. m. each man with 150 rounds of ammunl- tion. It was 123 degrees in the shade. We formed the first brigade of the fifth army corps. We moved forward up to- wards the firing line. That day had twenty-five burial services. For twen- ty-five miles there was barbed wire fence that was almost impossible.
 For three-quarters of an hour at San Juan the army marched under con- stant fire before they could get into the open. That I consider was the utmost gallantry of the war. There Colonel Wickoff fell, for whom the camp at Montauk was named. Without orders the colored troops went up the hill. They did fight splendidly I was proud of the colored soldiers; they did their work well. The Spaniards retreated to- ward Santiago. All night the men stood deep in the water of the trenches under terrific fire.
 Then came the destruction of the Spanish fleet, the exchange of Hobson and the war soon ended. There was only one bombardment after San Juan.
 When the fighting ceased the men came down with fever. Finally we got orders for home and boarded the trans port for Montauk. It was a short, speedy and brilliant campaign, result ing in a great good accomplished for mankind"
