MRS. CARTER'S NEW ROLE.
Wins Much Applause in Washington
With q French Plav.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The first Amer
lean production of "Seasea," a play
from the French that has been running
in Paris for over a year took official
dom and secretaries in numbers to the
Lafayette Square theater last night.
Many of the diplomatic corps, including
the French ambassador and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, had seen the play in Paris
and there was some curiosity to see
Mrs. Leslie Carter's Interpretation of
the part of the heroine. The play is
quite out of the ordinary. It is French,
without being immoral The best COM
pliment which Belasco, adaptor and
Mrs. Leslie Carter, actress, could be
given came from the pronounced and
apparently sincere applause from the
boxes occupied by the diplomatic corps
Mrs. Carter was given six curtain calls
at the end of the first act and Belasco
was called before the curtain for a
speech.
Mrs. Carter's gowns were the subject
Of comment because they are unique
and lavish. The production is elaborate
and the supporting company of fifty
two speaking parts is satisfactory.
"Seasea" is q love story of much light
and some shadow. It is the story of a
child of the streets, who, becoming an
actress, develops the strength and will
to rise above the circumstance, to
sacrifice herself to preserve the sancti-
ty oe the home Of the man she loves.

ADVANCE ON lLOILO.
Gen. Otis Sends Two Regiments
to the Island of Panay.

Washington, Dec. 27-The administra-
tion is to take steps to safeguard Amer
lean interests in the city of IloilO on the
island of Panay, one of the Philippine
archipelago, and a military and naval
expedition is now on its way there from
Manila.
Gable advices were received here to-
day from General Otis, commanding
the military forces in the Philippines
and Admiral Dewey and commanding
the naval forces there, showing that
they are acting in concert in the matter.
General Otis reported that he had
dispatched two regiments and a battery
of artillery to Iloilo on army transports
and Admiral Dewey notified the navy
department that the cruiser Baltimore
had sailed from Manila for the same
place.
It is explained that these officers are
acting on their own discretion in the
matter and that no official adViceS
have been received here to indicate that
there is any unusual lawlessness in
Iloilo.
Several days ago it was reported by
way of Madrid that the Spanish forces
in Iloilo had been attacked by the in
surgents and had driven them back
with heavy losses, but this report lacks
official confirmation. The United States
expedition is more in the nature of a
precaution, but will take active meas
ures for the suppression of laWlessnesS
in case the condition of affairs requires
it.
Admiral Dewey is anxious for the ar
rival of the Buffalo, which is now near
Malta, en- route to Manila in order that
he may send home a number of men
whose terms of enlistment have ex-

AN OPEN QUESTION.
Future of Acquired Territory is Not
Mentioned In the Treaty.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Frye
talked today with respect to the conditions
attending and resulting from the peace ne
gotiations. With respect to the frequent
ly repeated statement in press dispatches
that the sentiment of the powers, with the
exception of England, was opposed to the
United States and looked with disfavor
upon the attitude of this government in
dealing with Spain, Senator Frye said:
Il saw no evidence of such sentiment
existing outside of France, and in France

sentiment Of the nation nor the people
