STAINS FLEET TO
 LEAVE ST. VINCENT
Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett


 ST. VINCENT, Cape Verde Islands, April 27.-The Admiral commanding Spanish squad ron in this port received important cipher dis patches from Madrid to-day. While even the officers of the squadron have been kept in ie- nOrance of the contents of these dispatches the general belief is that they contained the long looked for sailing orders.
 It is expected that the fleet will move out to sea during the night, at least in the morn- ing. All signs indicate that the flagship will give the signal for starting within a very short time.
 Immediately after receipt of the dispatches from Madrid the few officers who had been successful in obtaining shore leave were has, ty called to their ships. On the cruisers and torpedo vessels there is unusual hustle and excitement.

Spanish People Beginning to Resliss
Their Coionin Empire II Gone.
LONDON, Aug. l6.-The Madrid cor.
respondent Of The Daily Mail says;
The comments OF the press on the pro.
tocol are veritable funeral hymns on
the destruction of the Spanish colonial
empire. Some days ago the desire fox
peace made the people close their eyes
to the price but now upon reading the
protocol they realize that the cost is
the loss Of that empire which Spain
has conquered with SO much glory and
that Spain now falls to the second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned and there is general mourning.
General Blanco telegraphs that Ha.
vana is greatly agitated by the news of
the signing Of the protocol and tina,
much anxiety is manifested to learn
the conditions, which have not yet
been published.
Many newspapers express great de.
spair that the men who brought disas.
ter on Spain by lack Of foresight, or.
ganization and ability. should continue
to govern the country.

NO POST GRADUATE.
Mr. Heron's Order Contempates the Abo-
liton of This Course.


The order introduced by Mr.. Heron
at Tuesday nights meeting of the
school board which proposes to abolish
the postgraduate courses in the high
schools is likely to cause some discus
sion in various circles; but Mr.. Heron
feels confident of the final success Of
the order He says that if the city
schools give its pupils four years
high school course and five year col
lege course, it is doing enough. He says
that there are very few cases where
cities have the five year college course,
and he knows of no city where the
same privileges are allowed for post
graduate study.
The order attempts to reduce expenses
in a way, but most of all it means to do
away with the annoyance caused by
post graduate pupils. There are some
30 in both high schools, about two
thirds of them at the English high.
These pupils enter any time of the year
and take as many or as few studies as
they Ike. They are also at liberty to
stop coming for a time ana then enter
again later on.
This makes trouble for the principal
in assigning pupils to rooms and often
oVercrowds the rooms. Mr.. Heron
argues that these pupils are positive
injury to the regular pupils. For in
stance, supposlng a teacher has %
pupils to start with and ten post gradu-
ate pupils are added. The result is that
the room is overcrowded and the teach
ers overWorked. Then besides the post
graduates require and take the special
attention of the teacher, interfering
with the regular pupils.
In Providence more than % pupils are
not allowed in one room, but in Wor-
cester the number is often exceeded.
The principals of the high school are
non-committal on the subject, although
Mr.. Goodwin told Mr.. Heron that he
would be willing to have the post
graduate course dropped, but thought
it would be a great mistake to stop the
five year college course.
Mr.. Heron says that the greater num-
Der of pupils who take the post gradu-
ate course have parents of ample means
who are able to pay for tuition else
where. Pupils who would like the extra
study and who could not afford to go
elsewhere for it almost invariably are
forced by circumstances to go to work
after years.
The dropping of the course would
mean that 80 of the pupils now scat
tered about in the different buildings
could be accommodated in the high
schools
Mr.. Heron believes that the crowded
condition of the high schools demand
that the pupils desiring to take the
regular course be given the preference.
He is very confident that the order will
come back with the endorsement of the
high school committee to whom it was
referred. He says there is a growing
sentiment against the practice of giving
a post graduate course among the en-
tire committee, and feels sure that
the order will finally pass the board

AN INFANT PRODIGY.
Master Darwin Wood Delights Two Au-
dlences With His Impersop ations.
I CLA Rk \
SAWYER COY

People crowded in and around the
studio of Miss Eliza Lothner, in the Day
building, yesterday afternoon and even
ing, to listen to a remarkable exhibit
ton of musical precocity. The pianist
was boy who is represented to be in
his ninth year. but looks younger. Cen
orally the infant prodigies look older
than they are billed to be. His name
is Darwin Wood, and on the title page
of his published compositions he is
styled "the American Mozart" His
father is d. Rome Wood a Philadel-
phia music teacher, but there is said to
be the blood of mixed races in his veins,
as is the case with Eugene D'Albert
Darwin is of very boyish appearance,
even when allowance is made for his
unique attire with the broad blue sash
that hangs from shoulder to waist He
has distinctly childish face, framed in
long, straight blonde hair, which reach
es to his shoulders, but his expression
becomes more mature and defined when
he is playing.
Improvisation is his forte and at this
he is well calculated to excite wonder
and often admiration. His themes, last
night, were originals, as well as the de-
Velopment and treatment of them.
Joseph Hoffman used to have his
themes set for him at his public per-
formances; but there is no intention
here to compare the two boys. Darwin's
published compositions are only his i'm
provisations, taken down by the new
automatic recorder and polished up
technically by his father.
1t is said the boy never repeats his
musical ideas. However that may be. he
sat at the piano for nearly half an hour.
last night, and played without a break.
There was no lack Of ideas, even though
there was an occasional suggestion of
other composers. In fact, if any critic
ism were to be made, it is the natural
one, that in the abundance Of ideas
there was apt to be lack Of conference
and form. He gives an exceedingly in
teresting exhibition.
Master Wood and his father are stay-
ing the week at II Portland street, pre-
vious to going to Boston, where he is to
show off to the critics and other must
cal people, II is likely that he win give
an organ recital in Worcester. before
leaving.
Miss Lothner gave a demonstration of
the Virgil claVir method of teaching
and played program of her own.
