Cuba will also find a place. and an
important one, too, on the program, and
it is the intention to have an elaborate
combination of songs, reoitations and
tableauX to demonstrate the cause Of the
revolutionists on that unhappy island.
Many volunteers have already been
heard from, and it is probable that the
old program will be much elaborated
upon, but so far as possible all the old
participants will be secured. Mrs. Harri-
son Johnson will sing the Star Span
gled Banner In the American group,
and Eugene A O'Connor will sing an
Irish ballad in the Irish group. Efforts
will also be made to have similar eff
fects in the other groups. Louis K. Bren-
nan will appear in topical songs and
will have a word to say upon timely
subjects. A well-known male quartet
and full orchestra will add to the gen.
eral excellence of the program, and
many other things will be added before
the night of the performance by Mrs
Bowen. Admission will be placed at 90
cents and 30 cents. and young ladies' will
be asked to make a thorough canvass
Of the city to give opportunity to every
body to purchase a ticket for the worthy
cause. The higher priced tickets will
entitle the purchaser to a reserved seat
The many friends of Mrs. Bowen will
combine with her to make this entertain
ment a success in every particular, and
a handsome nucleus will thus be formed
for Worcesters contribution to the me
mortal for the Names dead.

WATCHING CHIPS SHIPS.
United States Means to Have Them If
They Can Be Bought.

Washington, March 15.-"The general
expectation of the members of the cab
met" said one of them after the meet
ing today, sis that some report will be
received during the present week from
the court of inquiry examining into the
cause Of the Maine explosion. Yet it
would not be surprising to US il the re-
port should be delayed for a longer
time. We have nothing on which to
base this hope, that I know of, only the
feeling seems general that what [ have
said will be the case. There is nothing
at hand as yet to indicate what will be
the nature of the findings of the court
Today our time was occupied in a
general discussion of measures under
way for the national defense, notably
the acquisition of new vessels of war
We are keeping an eye on the two ships
under construction for Chile and the
Argentine Republic, but 1t is not prob
able that we can get them. If we can
not obtain the ships, it is a source Of
satisfaction to know that Spain will not
be able to purchase them either"

NEW DRY DOCKS.
House Naval Committee Decides
on Construction of Five.
Boston Viii Have One of Them-S truc-
lures Are to Be Large Enough to Ac-
commodate the Biggest War Ships.

Washington, March 15.-The construc-
ton of five modern dry docks was
agreed on today by the house commit
tee on naval affairs. They are to be
located at Portsmouth, N. H., Boston,
League Island, near Philadelphia, AL
giers, near New Orleans, and Mare ISL
and, near San Francisco.
These docks, all of which are to be en-
tirely new structures, are to be of
wood, except those at Algiers and Ports
mouth. The material of these will not
be determined upon until tomorrow. The
indications are the dock at Portsmouth
will be built of stone from nearby quar-
ries, and that at Algiers of steel. The
decision of the committee was the out
come Of a protracted and at times ami
mated discussion. The final vote choos-
ing the points named was to g.
The opponents of the project first con-
tended against their construction on
general principles, and then separate
ly opposed the sites that were selected
They argued that the docks should be
located either where the approaches or
depths of water were sufficient to admit
the ingress and egress of the largest
battleships, or where steps already have
to put the approaches in a state of prep
aration to receive the largest vessels
by the development of both depth and
width of channel, or that the work on
the channels should be undertaken con-
temporaneously with the dry docks.
1t was agreed, however, that -he
docks erected should be made capable
of accommodating the largest class Of
warships The principal argument for
their construction from wood was econ
omy, but it was also stated the docks so
constructed might remain in good con
dition long enough for all practical pur-
poses, and that by the time their use
fulness ceased, developments in the
structural field or a change in the char
acter of present dock ideas might arise.
A motion to vote on the docks separate
ly was voted down by to 6, and then
| they were voted on as a whole and au-
thorized.
There was strong disposition in the
committee to increase the navy in addi-
ton to the three battleships recently
authorized, by the construction of the
smaller vessels of war. 1t was stated
that the committee may authorize the
building Of about ten torpedo boats and
torpedo boat destroyers, costing in the
neighborhood of s1,500.000 for all. A
movement for this increase will be made
tomorrow, and Representative Bull of
Rhode Island viii submit a motion call
ing for construction of a number OF
both Of these classes Of boats, probably
six. Others Of the committee are favor
able to the increase, and some import
ant action is looked for The increases
in the personnel asked for by Secretary
Long also will be taken up tomorrow

COURT OF INQUIRY SAILS.
Sessions VIII Be Held at Key West for
the Present.

Havana, March 15.-The Mangrove
with the court of inquiry on board
sailed this evening for Key West. Capt
Sampson, president of the board, as
sured the correspondent that the decis-
ion to leave Havana was not reached
until this afternoon after a consultation
of the members.
The plans of the submerged wreck, in
the preparation of which Ensign Powell
son has had a large share, are very
elaborate, and Capt. Sampson says the
testimony and records Of the divers are
very full. Capt. Sampson hopes the
court will be allowed to resume its sit
tings on the Battleship Iowa, now near
Key West with the flagship New York
All of the officers of the court except
Judge Advocate Mark are stationed on
the Iowa or the New York, and on the
former the court could be absolutely free
from interruption. The greater part of
the investigation that remains will con-
sist unless the court returns here Of a
careful study of the plans. 1t is not
thought that it will be necessary again
to summon the survivors of the Maine,
officers or men now at Key West. or
scattered through the feet. Capt.
Sampson said, however, that any such
would be summoned if the revision of
the testimony showed missing links in
the chain that they could supply
The court has no prophecy to make as
to the further duration of its sittings, or
as to when and where the findings win
be promulgated. Capt Sigsbee will
remain here with Lieut. Commander
Wainwright to superintend the wreck
ing on behalf of the government. Chap
lain Chadwick is expected to remain to
care for any bodies that may be recov-
cred. At least no orders have been re-
eeived to the contrary when this dis
patch was sent.
The court called upon Consul General
Lee this afternoon to bid him farewell.
and subsequently Cart. Sigsbee said
adieu to the court.

A SUPERB SPECTACLE.
Auroral Display of Great BrilIiancy visIbis
Throughout New England.

Boston, March 15.-One of the finest
auroral displays seen in this vicinity for
many years. flashed and glowed in the
northern heavens for an hour or more
this evening. Great waves of light
swept in grand arch from east to
west and back again, varied by long
streamers stretching to the zenith,
which snapped and almost glittered
against the blackness OF the sky.
A greenish tinge was the predominant
ing color, but many of the intense por-
tons of the display had crimson hue.
The spectacle was over by O'Clock. but
during the display all the telegraph
lines in New England were seriously af-
fected The aurora was seen throughout
New England being especially brilliant
in Maine.
The aurora was the subject of conesi-
derable interest at Harvard obserya-
tory, number of Prof. chickering's as
sistants making notes of the display.
An observation of the sun this noon
disclosed three or four gigantic spots,
denoting violent eruptions, which gives
additional ground for the theory that
the aurora is closely connected with
disturbances on the sun

The sergeants hesitated over the re-
vised lists, as they read them in dismiss
ing the relief, and the men themselves
seemed little confused at the new
order of things. However the men are
gradually getting used to the new terri
tory, and before many months will UNI
doubtedly be as well satisfied as before
the change.

MAKING WAR MATERIALS.
Worcester Manufacturers Getting Part
of the Business.

1t would indeed be queer if Worcester,
with it's diversified manufactures, would
not either directly or indirectly play a
part in fitting or aiding the country in
case of war. In the last war, in which
this country was engaged. manufactur-
ers of Worcester were called upon to
supply the government needs. notably
the W,ashburn s. Moen Company, who
supplied wires for telegraph and for
ramrods. AT this time when so much
is heard of war with Spain, every or
der received in this city for goods from
an unusual source is put down as a
government order in preparation for
war
F. e, Reed and Prentice Bros, who
manufacture lathes, We're seen yester-
day in regard to a rumor that both
firms were rushing the manufacture of
lathes for projectile manufacturers.
Both firms have a number of orders on
hand, but most of their trading is done
with machinery firms, and If any of
their products are to be used in the
manufacture of projectiles, the local
firms are not aware of it.
The Morgan Construction Company
was asked Tuesday by the Winchester
Repeating Arms Company Of New Ha-
ven If they could furnish certain n.y.
draulic machinery, but the order was
refused, as the company has more work
on hand than it can well attend to.

Knight, has been asked to bid on a
contract for leather betting for use in
