AMATEURS AT CRAWFORD.
Two Well Played Pieces by Well
Known Topeka Young Folks.

A creditable exhibition of amateur
dramatic ability was given at the
Crawford theater last night by the To-
peka Dramatic club in presenting the
curtain raiser Sunset" and the two
act farce 1.-The Mysterious Mr.. Bob"
Like many amateur dramatic organiza-
tiOns, the club includes one or two
members who have little dramatic abil
ity and should discover their short COM
ingS as soon as possible. The majority
of the young people in the performance
last night took their parts eXcellently,
and are entitled to praise for their
work.
The performance was seen and en-
jOyed by an audience of gratifying size.
Both the first floor and balcony of the
house were fairly well filled.
Miss Harriet Jones and Miss Myrtle
Davis interpreted their parts in the
farce perfectly, and there was but little
Indication of the amateur about their
work Dean Low made good col
legian with a taste for medicine and
yachts and might almost be said to be
the star, and Joseph Morgan, an excel
lent individual of mistaken identity
with more mystery than a man with
his sized shoulders could comfortably
bear, ranked high. Miss Laura Weld
ling, Miss Mary Moon and Mr.. Adrian
Sherman IIied out what on the whole
was a well selected cast.
In the curtain raiser Miss Virgiline Null
vane and Mr.. GaIen Nichols had charac-
tiers. but did not take part in the farce.
Miss MulVane'S acting in the serious part
of the sketch was particularly strong and
effective.
The club is a permanent organization.
and the proceeds of last nights perform
ance will be used in fitting up rooms.

BLUE AND GRAY TOGETHER.
War Finds x-soldiers OF North and sosth
Side by side-Grants Grandson
on Lees StaT

WASHINGTON, April 22.-During the
coming war there are to be many
striking instances of the union Of the
blue and the gray under the stars and
stripes, and these sentimental exhibit
tions will largely cluster around the
army corps to be led by Fitzhugh Lee.
He expects to have under him all
of the Virginia troops and some from
Pennsylvania and other northern
states. Algernon Sartoris, the son Of
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, has re-
ceived from Gen. Lee a promise of a
commission on his staff, and the coun-
try will therefore be furnished with
the patriotic spectacle of the grand
son of u. 5. Grant and the nephew OF
Robert Il. Lee fighting side bv side.

MADRID PEOPLE IN IGNORANCE
the Newsunpers Fleet May Avoid
engagements When Possible.

MADRID, April ~ The general pub
lie here is in complete ignorance re.
garding the Spanish war movements
The newspapers make no mention OF
them while fully recording the tactics
of the United States fleet. Judging
from the available advices Spain
appears to have the tactics of
the badger. The Liberal says:
1--WE are inside our house, Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands,
and inside we will remain until you
come and drive us out. in fulhllment
of your arrogant boast" IT. is gener-
ally believed, that, in consouance with
this policy, the Spanish fleet, unless
compelled to fight, will avoid engage
ments and the fastest ships will be en-
ployed to destroy the commerce of the
United States.

MAY ANNEX HAWAII.
Strong Efforts win Be Made in Congress to
Eject This Result-Japan Does
Not object.

WAsnNGToN, April Hawaiian
annexation, which would not be ac-
complisned in time of peace, is more
than probability now that war is on.
1t is learned that a great effort is to be
made in the present week TO procure
ratification of the treaty annex
ing the Hawaiian islands to the
United States. Secret sessions are TO
begin this week for this purpose.
Senator Davis believes now that some
of the original opponents of the treaty
have been made to appreciate the
strategic value of the islands in view
of the pending war with Spain. There
is no longer any danger of objection
from Japan to the annexation propo-
sition, for it is said that there is al
ready tacit understanding between
the United States and Japan whereby
the latter country will eventually be
given control of the Philippines in re-
turn for certain assistance during the
war, the character of which will soon
become apparent

WAsHINGToN. April -. -Telegraphic
messages from the governors of differ

out exception. notify the department
that they have now more available
men than are asked for in the call and

that the entire country is ablaze with
patriotism. II the president had made
his call for 800, 900 men it would have
been filed early. Secretary Alger and
