The ceremony was unique. General Miles and General Wilson, by prear- ranged plan, had been driven from the American headquarters at the port Of Ponce to Casa del Rey, in the city proper, where Consul Torro and Ul- piano Colon, Mayor of the City, await ed them. The bombero, or the city fire brigade, was drawn up in the Lallaca delicia, opposite Casa del Key, and as General Miles and General Wilson left their carriages the fire brigade band played Sousa marches. A guard in front of the buildings cleared the way for the American generals, and through a cheering crowd they walked into the building, where they were presented to Consul Zorro and Mayor Colon.
 Consul Torro said to General Miles that the citizens of Ponce were anxious to know if the same municipal officers and system as had been in vogue would be continued temporarily. He was as sured that the municipal affairs would not be disturbed for the time being and that the same local officials would be retained for some time. But it was ex- plained that they would be responsible to General Wilson as Military Gov ernor, who would keep the city in or der under a form Of martial law op- pressive to none.
 General Miles and General Wilson then stepped out on the balcony to view the square. The crowd cheered wildly and the two American generals hastily withdrew. They received an ovation as they made their way to headquarters.
 Mayor Colon, after the conference, told me that he was glad the Ameri- cans had come. The island, he said, would now enjoy prosperity and peace, and the best citizens wanted the Amer leans to take possession.

CROP REPORT.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture sends forth the following climate
and crop bulletin of the Weather
Bureau, Washington Section, for the
week ending the 18th inst.
The weather OF the past week was
quite favorable for farming operations
and the growth of such crops as are
in the ground. In the Eastern Sec
ton there was general lack of rain,
except in the Northeast. but in the
Western Section there were some show
ers. The temperature was higher than
on the previous week, there being two or
three days ON which the thermometer
rose in the sixties, and one, the 18th,
on which it read 70 degrees. The
warm sunshine had a beneficial effect
on growing vegetation, but the nights
are yet too cool for growth to be rapid.
In general, the reports speak of fall
and winter sOwn wheat as being in
good condition. Flowing and harrow
ing have been rushed, owing to favor
able conditions of soil and weather,
and the seeding of spring wheat is
about two-thirds done.
Planting of other crops is going on
steadily. Grass in pastures is very
good, and clover has already made a
fair start in the Western Section.
Plum and cherry trees are now in full
bloom. 1t is yet too early for pears
and apples to bloom. The March
frosts unquestionably damaged the
earliest fruits. Frosts this month
have done no damage. The season is
about two weeks later than the average.

"A BOY WANTED"
Post-Intelligencer, 18th inst.

If ballot had been taken of the au-
dience at the Third Avenue theater
last night, there is little doubt but
that Blaney's bright three.act farce
comedy, "a Boy Wanted" would have
heen voted among the funniest of the
bright little creations OF the kind
which have been produced at that
place of amusement. From the mo.
ment that saucy little Lille Suther-
lands abbreviated skirts first flash be.
fore the eyes of the dignified occu-
pants of the front row until, after
three hours, the curtain goes down
upon the full company, there is not a
dull moment. The opportunities for
laughter are unlimited. There is not
on antiquated gag in the play and the
songs are we'll sung and up to date.
That boy, Phoney Dice, whom Louis
Martinetti presents, is the pivot upon
which the whole plot, or absence of
plot, turns. He is wellspring of
laughter from start to finish. AS an
india rubber man he is shining sue
cess, and is besides comedian of a
high order. Miss Russell shares the
honors with Mr. Martinetti through
out the performance very creditably.

The performance'last night did not
commence until 9 o'clock, owing to a
delayed train, but the audience which
filled the house to the highest seat in
the gallery. stayed until the perform
ance closed, at a few minutes before
midnight.
There has never been q night in the
history Of the Third Avenue Theater
when more disappointed theater goers
were turned away from the doors.
Every seat in the house was sold be-
fore 6 o'clock, and hundreds were
turned away.

WOMEN'S FEDERATED CLUBS.

The fourth Biennial of the General
Federated Women's Clubs which will
be held in Denver June 81 to 26, in.
elusive, will be the largest and most
important gathering of women ever
held in this country. Not less than l,
OOOdelegates are expected, representing
half a million club members, and
fully as many visitors have already
expressed their intention to be present.
Among them will be a large number
of women of national reputation in
various lines of public work. Every
subject on the programme will be
treated by specialist, and no paper
or subject used at Louisville will be
repeated. The programme will be of
intense interest to all women, whether
home-makers or wage earners. Aside
from the attractions of the Biennial,
the women OF Denver have arranged
the most gorgeous and typical western
hospitality. Receptions, garden parties

for social functions and free ex-
cursiOns into the mountains will be
given all the delegates by the Biennial
local board. The Biennial will be
held in the Broadway Theater, which
will be freshly decorated each morning
with the famous wild flowers of the
Rockies.
The matter of rates is still in the
hands of the General Passenger As.
ISOLATION, but the delegates will Sc
cure one and one-third rates with
thirty days stop-over, and will
probably do even better. A rate OF
one fare will be made to all points in
the State after the Biennial, thus
affording fine opportunity to explore
the scenery of the Rockies.
Mrs. A. NJ. Welles, Secretary of the
local board, will gladly answer all
letters of inquiry. Her address is
