SUNG IN A SPANISH CHURCH.
American Soldiers. Heard "The Star
spangled Banner as Recessional.

Especial Letter to the Chicago Record)
San Juan has a very good opera, house
facing the plaza of Columbus. There was
hope that a company advertising in
Ponce might be induced to extend it's
journey to the capital. The play they
were offering was advertised as lei Gran
Drama Americana, La Cabana, de Tic
Ton" and, as L have seen it a year be-
fore in Key West, performed by an anna
teur troop of negroes, under the more ia
miliar name of Uncle Toms Cabin"
with a little Eva. who was as black as
coal and whose hair was as kinky as
wool, L cherished a. tender memory of the
play and regretted not to see it in Span
iSh. Most of the foreign entertainments
reaching Puerto Rico are those on their
way to Havana and Mexico from Europe.
They stop over one boat and usually Go
pretty good business in the capital. Loie
Fuller has danced there, and l believe
Patti once sang in this same theatre.
Changing from theatres to churches, the
Traveller will find much in Puerto Rico to
interest him in the places of worship
throughout the island. The old church of
Ponce stands in the main plaza, backed
by the gorgeous oriental structure which
does duty for a fire, department building.
The church is one of the old ones of the
island, exceedingly picturesque without,
but does not contain much ornamental
tion or many relics of particular value.
At Guyana the music was excellent and
services were always we'll attended. The
padre there was a fine old Spanish gem
tleman, who loved his people and his
church. and was proud of the fact that
except for the cathedral in San Juan he
had the best church in the island. He
took us about the old building from top
to bottom, showing every chapel and
every shrine with genuine pleasure. On
Sunday morning at high mass came pc
culiar thing. At the end of the service,
for a occasional, the organist far up in
the loft touched his keys, and through
this old Catholic church in an obscure
village in Puerto Rico there sounded THE
Star-spangled banner" The variations
itself was kept a little in the background,
obscured bit by the fiorid music that
accompanied it, but it was there beyond
doubt. Perhaps the Spanish worship
ers did not recognize the unfamiliar
strains for what they were. The Ameri-
cans did. All over the church there were
American othcers who had been present as
worshipers or spectators. When the iden-
tity of the music came to them there were
heads uplifted and Frightening eyes and
glances of recognition that meant a great
deal.
[ hunted up the old padre and asked him
about it.
Yes he said, st was intentional. I
asked the oorganist in the morning if he
knew the American national hymn. He
said he did, and so 1 asked him to play
it as a recessional L thought it would
please the Americans"
1t did please them, and the old priest
could not have done a more generous
thing or one that would have been bet
ter appreciated.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The frigidity of the night had it's eff
feet on the attendance at the Theatre
last evening. While there was a fair
turnout, it was not such as the famous
'Parlor Match" had been accustomed to
draw in Salt Lake, for nothing Hoyt
ever wrote has had a more successful
career with our theatre-goers. Per-
haps, too, the knowledge that Evans,
the original McCorker, and Hoey the
first "Old Hoss," were no longer with
the company the first having blossom
ed into a successful New York manager
and the last having passed to the great
beyond, had something to do with the
diminution in interest. But those who
attended found a most laughable enter
tafnment provided. Mark Sullivan,
Hoeys substitute, is the star of the
company, and he kept the laughter go
ing at a fast and furious rate, the cabi-
net scene especially being worked for
everything possible. He is quite remin-
lscent of the original, and while there
was tinge of sadness in recalling
Hoey, his humor was irresistible. Ry-
ley fingers long way behind Evans,
but served as a good foil to Sullivan.
The specialties were numerous and live
ly, the most striking act being the phe-
nomenal whistling of Tom Brown, who
actually whistled a duet from the
same pair of lips. Eloise Mortimer,
Grau's oldtime soprano who was on
the bill, did not appear, having been
kept by serious illness in Denver. Edith
Hoyt made clever little Innocent
Kidd. The show goes again this after
noon and evening, the prices today be-
ing on the popular grade.

T0-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
The Cars Peace Proposals.

LONDON, Aug. 90 The Cars ap.
peal for universal peace has startled all
Europe and is the topic of the hour with
press and public. The London press
generally approves of the Cars pro-
posal. The News says it may be taken
for granted as matter of course, that
the British government will accept the
invitation to take part in the confer
ence. The Morning Post expresses
distrust and says: "Only the armies
would be reduced on the continent.
Our feet would have to go. An army
could be restored in two or three years,
but our fleet could not be restored in
from ten to twenty years. Then Russia
would be in excellent condition TO pro-
ceed in her old fashion. Ga the whole,
the suit of Russia will not suit u.s."
The Telegraph approves of the theory
OF disarmament, but thinks it impossi-
BILE. The Times discussing the re-
ception of the proposal by the
powers, expresses the cordial sym
patty Of England, which, it says,
has more to gain and less TO lose. The
Chronicle Gays that Great Britsin and
the United States will certainly accept
the proposal. 1t considers that France
and Japan will hesitate while the
other powers will assent, Germany last
BERLIN, Aug. % 1t is understood
that Emperor William will cordially
support the Cars proposal.
The Cologne Gazette in an article COM
me nting upon the Cars universal peace
proposal says: The hardest question
will be how to proper iuate the naval
forces of one state TO the land forces of
another. When Germany is certain Of
the same degree OF safety with less mill
airy power, she will gladly assent to
the Cars proposal.
PARIS, Aug. 29.-The comments of
this morning newspapers upon the
Cars peace project are generally fav.
orabIe to the idea. though some of
them intimate that the scheme is
dream, incapable of realization. LIE
Petit Journal says that France
will approve unanimously the Cars
generous initiative. The Gaulois says
hat universal peace in dream, which

The Condition of the Camps.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 90
Governor Black, of New York. is ex-
pected to arrive at Chickamauga Park
to-day for the purpose of examining
into the condition of the New York
regiments. Governor Black intends to
have all the New York regiments at
Chickamauga sent home. Rev. ]. w.
Trimble, of the Chattanooga Presby.
terrain Church, former member of the
sanitary commission of the civil war,
after having visited Camp Thomas al
most daily for ninety days, has made a
report. The report severely criticises
the administration for choosing the
camp site for an army rendezvous. A
large part of the responsibility, he says,
rests on the commander and the sani-
tary inspector of the camp. The con-
ditions could exist only under the care
les;ness or incapacity of those who had
the power to remove them.
