4 FINE NEWS SERVICE.
Press Association Arrangements for
Reporting the War.

New York. April Pr. F. Paine. pres
ident of the Scripps- McRae Press Asso-
citation, and ]. b. Shale president OF the
News Publishers Tress Association, q
sue the following joint note concerning
the arrangements made by the Corpora
tive Association for reporting news OF the
war:
The Publishers Press in connection
with the Scripps- McRae Press Associa-
ton Company, has made such fun and
complete arrangements for reporting the
coming war with Spain as experience
would dictate and forethought provide.
More important preparations are here
briefly enumerated:
The war will largely at sea. The
North Atlantic squadron will operate
against Cuba and clear way for the
passage of the Army. The Hampton
Roads squadron is held for emergencies.
Accompanying the former fleet in our
service is Henry y. Hickey. an expert
enced and energetic newspaper man and
a vivid and forceful writer
On board the battleship Texas with
the flying squadron We have Thomas NJ.
Diueaide marine and naval reporter,
whose past work has been such as TO
assure a brilliant performance of his
present dangerous assignment His re-
ports will appear exclusively in our pa
pers.
The privilege Of having man with the
flying squadron was accorded in but
two other instances. Our principal cor
respondent with the Army is Henry Il.
Armstrong, n graduate Of the Virginia
Military Institute and correspondent
and reporter of long experience. Mr..
Armstrong will be attached to the head
quarters of Gen. Miles and will have UNI
usual facilities for obtaining news. He
will have all assistance and equipment
which experience In modern war report-
ing has shown needful
Correspondents Of the Scripps- McRae
League, separate organization. now
with the Army at Chickamauga. will con-
tinue with it, and their excellent reports
will be carried by this association.
The League also has large corps of
special correspondents at American and
West Indian points by whose work we
will benefit.
Believing that every Atlantic port is a
possible important news point, we have
especially engaged the services Of eff
cient resident correspondents at every
point, big and little, from St. Johns,
Newfoundland. to Galveston, Texas
Very important also is the fact that we
receive the full foreign and domestic SER
vice of the New York Evening Sun.
This splendid service has been aug
mented to meet the emergencies of the
hour.
With exclusive representatives with the
fleets and armies with news bureaus at
New York, Washington and all important
places and with the services of CORES
pondents stationed at points of vantage
from London 10 Hong Kong from the
smallest fishing village on the Atlantic
coast, TO the largest port, the managers
of the Publishers Press and the Scr.pps-
McRae feel that their hopes of an ac-
ceptable report of the Spanish war are
somewhat justified.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.l

That quaint comedian. Willie Collier
will be seen at the National Theater al
next week. beginning on Monday even.
ing. with the usual Wednesday and Sat
urday matinees. Mr. Collier comes sur
rounded by an exceptionally clever COM
pany. presenting for the first time In
Washington the very latest and most
successful of Du Souchets farces. 1.-The
Man From Mexico"
This play was especially adapted from
a French farce for Mr.. Collier. and tells
the story of an ever-ready friend who.
while always anxious and willing to get
his associates out of any scrape trouble
they may happen into, makes woeful
blunders. and simply adds to rather than
eXtricates them from their difficulties.
The particular friend of the man from
Mexico is one Roderick Majors, who
takes his friend, Benjamin Fitzhugh, out
for little supper, and incidentally to
notorious concert hall. Fitzhugh, who
is new-made Benedict, finds himself
in the LAWS clutches. and to escape
a domestic scandal tells his wife that he
must go to Mexico on business. In reality
he has been sentenced TO thirty days on
Blackwelrs Island for contempt of court
a result of his nights spree III the
concert hall.
All sorts of complications arise and the
funniest scenes imaginable transpire on
Blackwelrs Island Having served a sem
tence of thirty days Fitzhugh returns to
New York. and TO his domestic ireside,
clad in picturesque Mexican costume,
and there tells exaggerated stories about
his experiences in Mexico.
Mr.. Collier and THE Man from Mexi-
Co enjoyed a run of three months at
HoYts Theater, New York city, last
Spring. and the company and play have
just closed remarkably successful en-
Eagement at the Park Theater in Bos-
ton, where standing room only was a
marked characteristic of every perform
ance
In the supporting company are such ia
vorites as Maclyn Arbuckle, who will be
remembered as "A prominent member of

The annual oratorical contest by the
students Of ST. Johns College. which took
place last evening in the lecture han Of

of the freshman and junior classes and
acquitted themselves with great credit.

board OF judges, said that il was with
great difficulty. and only after having
taken several ballots. that they were
able to reach a conclusion.

Judges decided to divide the second honor
between Messrs. Antonio LAMA. whose
subject was Americas Battles" and
John J. Early, who compared Andre and
Hale, and the third place between Messrs.
Henry b. Quinn and William p. Ryan.
While Mr.. Thomas J. King. jr.. did not

In the impending warfare between this
country and Spain rcAotism Is not con-

who have chosen the United States as
their country. Probably foremost among
these is DIR. A. Ravogli, the local Italian

Senator Foraker offering his services to
the United States in the event of war
He also said that he is willing to muster
a company of volunteers or himself en-
list as a private in the Regular Army or
enter the Navy. He has had experience
in both branches of the War DEPART
ment, and would make a good soldier.
His hatred for the Spanish is as Intense

turning from his last trip to the station The
streets were deserted and scarcely sound dis
turbed the stiffness. Suddenly the reporter be-
came aware of approaching footsteps. In the dim
moonlight he beheld the form of man walking
rapidly toward him. 'Footpads," he thought,
as he noted the slouching walk and the down
cast look upon the face of the man who was
rapidly nearing. And then he chucked as he
thought of the poor haul the footpad would get
from him and of the good story the experience
would furnish, with little substitution of
names. The supposed footpad now OPP
posite the trembling reporter, and sure enough
he stopped. Quoth he:
''Nat dime il oes, can you dell mei''
The answer was promptly forthcoming.
''0h, den ! go me back TO ped. l goin' in

And then the supposed footpad returned to his
bed and slept several hours before he ventured
out again.
