on a low gun carriage, fitting hearse

Last fall, when the president of the

street, the bands played very different
music, and the crowd swayed and
surged and men shouted and waved
their hats i'm the air. That was the
enthusiasm Of holiday but this was
something deeper. An old English

Sive feature of the scene was not the
soldiers nor the sailors, nor the gilt

men and women packed by thousands
and teLs of thousands behind the
ropes along Fifth avenue. each of
whom was soldier or mother Of sol
diers to be. Young and old men,
labOrers and capitalists, stood bare
headed, shoulder to shoulder: women
held their babies high and men lifted
their little sons to their shoulders to
let them see that low gun carriage as
it passed. The procession passed on
across the bridge, down the river to
the old UniOndale cemetery; through

Richard Mansfield has been with us in
his new play, The Devils Disciple" by
G. Bernard Shaw. Saint Simon once
said to Madam de Stael, Madame. you
are the most remarkable woman in
France, and l am the most remarkable
man; if we should have child it would
certainly be the most remarkable child
in the world" By the same reasoning
it would be safe to predict that the joint
brain production Of those two brilliant
eccentrics. Richard Mansfield and G.
Bernard Shaw would be the most ecceu-
trio and unusual of dramas. This fact
was conclusively proven 10 arms and

onstrated by The Devils Disciple" 1t
is quite impossible to Judge such a pro-
duction by the ordinary laws of dra-
matte art, for it fiouts at all of them, and
yet. by its biting satire, its brilliant,
whimsical intellectually. 1t achieves a
distinct and startling originality, which
many law -abiding dramas woefully lack.
1t acquires, indeed, an individual and
almost personal flavor. One thing at
least is certain; from the Shaw Mans
field combination nothing CO monplace
can ever eminate, and in art it is only
the commonplace which hopeles-ly and
irrevocably damns.
The first act Of "The Devils Disciple"
is zane. serious, rational and constructed
on the most approved lines. The drama
is supposed to take place at the begin
ming Of the Revolutionary war. The
scene opens in New Hampshire farm

suppose no military funeral since
Sherman's has equalled in solemnity
that which awaited the body Of Lieu
tenant F. w. jenkins here when it
was sent home from Havana. No city
in the country felt the horrors Of the
Maine disaster more keenly than
Pittsburg. Lieut. Jenkins was born
here, had always lived here and en-
jOyed that universal popularity which
only a military officer can know in a
big prOvinciOnal town. All the morn
ing Of that fateful 18th Of February
when the news of the disaster first
reached us. the dead mans brother sat
at my elbow waiting for the message
of the clicking wires. Two weeks
later an old, broken hearted woman,
dressed in black. came in leaning on
his arm to thank the telegraph de-
partment for the interest it had taken
in her son. She did not say much. she
was not melO-dramatic: but when she

body continued l grew to feel an al
most personal interest in it, and when
one of our reporters went down to Gin
cinnatti to meet the body l almost
wanted to 90 too. When the casket
arrived it was placed in the Allegheny
pOstoffice. The rotunda was heavily
draped in black: back of the platform
on which the casket lay was forest
of palms, and about the platform were
heaped American Beauty roses. At
the foot of the casket stood the Naval
Reserves as a guard of honor; all young
fellows, standing mOtiOnless and silent
as statues, but with tight lips and
flashing eyes. The great windows
were all open; outside the sunlight
flashed with binding brightness upon
the gilded dome and the curves of the
river: the morning wind whispered
through the hall and rustled the green
fronds of the palms There were no
flowers on the casket; across it lay only
the flag, his flag, and despite the
heavy fringes the lung end caught
again and again in the breeze and
strained and futtered to be free.

able scale fourishes in this island en-
pire-"The Pearl of the Orient"-where
the indomitable Dewey now stands
guard, and toward which Uncle Sans
blue-coated soldier boys are hurrying.
The actual number of these islands
is as yet unknown, for the Spaniard
makes an unprogressive pioneer, but
there are estimated to be about 1, 400
of them, great and small, nesting away
just north of the equator. Their total
area is in the neighborhood of 100000
square miles. The population can only
be guessed at; perhaps 100000 souls
is fair figure at which to place it.
These islands are of comparatively
recent volcanic origin. Two principal

The taxes are one of the natives
standing grievances and the brutal
manner in which they are eNtorted an
other, but there are still graver wrongs
that have been put upon him. These
have crushed the manhood out of him,
and then when they could not be borne
longer, even at that price, they have
driven him into the hills and jungles
with the savage thirst for vengeance in
his heart. For the last half century he
has been struggling for some share of
freedom, revolt has followed close upon
revolt. Indeed the struggle may be
said to date back 800 years, and to have
begun with the first occupation Of the
islands by the Spaniards.
The royal government, through it's
agents, has stamped on these insur-
rections mercilessly, and with an iron
heel. In 1876, for example, the natives
lost some 5000 of their best men in
battle and by executions; six years
later, in another revolt, several thou
sand more were slain, while GOO men,
who had been most active in the re-
bellion were beheaded or shot at
Cavite. In 1896, secret order called
the Katipunan came into existence
amongst the Malays and Chinese,
the latter of whom have always been
more or less active in the affairs of the
islands. The purpose of the society
was revolutionary. Each member
took an oath ITO remove by blood the
bondage of Spain.
The Spaniards in some manner
learned of the society and its purpose,
and then commenced loEg series of
trials that were burlesques on justice
and intended only to convict regardless
of the evidence. Almost 5000 suspects
were arrested, examined, sentenced
and shot. In the single month of No
vember there were 500 executions on
the Lunetta. the fashionable parade
ground of Manila.
These wholesale butcheries came to
