"Joe, the Turk" Meets with an Ex-
perience at the Capitol.

perience at the Capitol.
When Ensign Joseph Garabed, other
wise Joe the Turk was in the city Sat
urday he had narrow escape from being
arrested The Times already has told of
his penchant for getting mixed up with
the authorities with regard to the rights
Of man, especially of American citizens,
to the manner born or imported; but il re-
mained for Joe to come within one of
keeping up his reputation for seeking the
calm seclusion of the cooler while here.
Joe carries an umbrella upon which
there are painted a number of more or
less biblical texts, and he bears ii sus-
pended over his head whether the sky be
clear or clouded, the atmosphere wet or
dry or the weather cold or hot. He went
up 10 the Capitol on Saturday morning,
intent upon seeing all the sights he could
squeeze into the compass of his visit to
this city. The umbrella was taken along,
as usual, and he also had parcel under
his arm which looked as though IL might
have contained either a bomb or a bundle
of hallelujah tracts.
A rule has been made since the decla-
ration of war that no one carrying q
package shall be permitted 10 enter the
Capitol. building, as precaution against
the placing of Internal machines, etc,
therein by Spanish spies. This rule had
not been explained TO "Joe," and, all un-
conscious that he was an object of sus-
picion, he meandered into the Capitol in
his Oriental costume
He had not stepped five feet inside the
building before he was surrounded by
half Il dozen members of the Capitol po-
lice force, who ordered him out of the
Capitol. Joe" Immediately accepted this
as renewal Of the religious persecution
which his position as a Salvation Army
officer, according to his ideas, makes him
subject TO wherever he goes, and he i'm
mediately put up a strenuous kick" AS
the protest was not made in the choicest
of English idiom, he was misunderstood,
and had il not been for the kindly offices
of . man who had seen him in an open
air meeting on the previous evening ii
might have gono hard with him. How
ever. he escaped with his umbrella and
his wounded feelings.

CONCERT AT GLEN ECHO.
An Excellent Vaudeville Bill Given
at Two Performances

Il
The Sunday concerts given at Glen Echo
| by the Parry Opera Company have come
TO be among the most popular entertain
ments ever contributed 10 local Summer
! amusements, and the audiences that wit
ness them weekly seem to grow with each
| performance. The big amphitheater is al
ways well filed and, what is better still
never warm or in the least uncomfortable
A delightful breeze blows through the
building at all hours of the day and a
stream of running water beneath the
structure exercises much the same effect
that might he supposed to result from sit
ting on chunk of ice. In hot weather
this alone is a boon well worth paying
for. and when TO it there is added the
pleasant car ride there, the many offerings
on the grounds the cooling beverages to
be obtained in the cafe, and last, but not
least, the performance given by Mr. Par
rvs excellent organization, one cannot
wonder al the crowds present.
The Sunday concerts contain nothing 10
offend the most deeply religious. All art
is sacred, and that selected for introduc-
ton at these affairs is of the most general
order. The program abounds in hymnal
music Of the highest order, though the
greater part of the time IS given to a di-
vision between classic and popular num-
bers. The players wear ordinary street
apparel Harry Carter's careful stage
management has prevented long waits be-
tween turns. and George Towle's orches-
ira gives the best OF accompaniment 10
the vocalists.
Yesterdays entertainment was of ex-
aE4..gf
gan solo, followed with q medley from
the orchestra. Mr. DAILY and Afr Taylor
both contributed solos, that Of the latter
gentleman being in exceptionally good
voice, while a duet by Messrs. Hawley
and Walsh was greatly enjoyed. Messrs
Gardiner, Hawley, and Walsh then rem
dered individual numbers, each winning
an encore with his excellent work One
of the features of the performance was
the harmonious singing OF the Herald
Square quartet. The oreanizati ton gave
three selections of great worth and of a
most varied order All were well sung
and brought hearty applause. Another
pleasing portion OF the bill was Miss Mar
tells recitation. In delivering The Mad
woman" bit requiring great power OF
voice and expression, she displayed
marked ability and careful training The
performance ended with the rendering of
the flag song from The Belle of New
ork and The Star SpangIed Banner
both by Mr.. Hawley and the chorus OF
the corcpany.
In the evening the program was length
ened by the addition of two numbers. The
first Of these was the monoIogue of Frank
Deshon, who has already proved his
worth as a comedian. Several of his re-
marks were very funny and his comic
songs were delivered in manner that
absolutely compelled laughter George

Off Santiago de Cuba, via Kingston,
JAM, June p. Several attempts to
lind landing places for United States
troops within a distance of twenty
miles west of Santiago have demon
strated, along with previous inquiries
to the eastward, that the shore for
fifteen miles is lined with Spaniards.
While this will not prevent a landing
close to Santiago, it may entail consid-
cradle delay as the surrounding cOun-
try must be thoroughly shelled and
cleared before the troops can land in
safety When Rear Admiral Sampson
received advices that upward of thirty
transports would be here ne sent word
that they should stand to the south
ten miles and lie there until a landing
place had been secured. At daylight
the launches of the New York and the
Massachusetts reconnOitered the shore
between CabanaS, two miles west of
the entrance to Santiago harbor, and
GuayaganacO, two miles further west,
both of which points lie east of the
range of mountains surrounding Santi-
ago bay. The launches pushed their
noses into hornets nest. The brush
was fairly alive with troops, infantry
and cavalry, who opened fire upon the
launches which was so fierce that they
retreated to be covered by the Vixen
and Texas When the Texas asked
permission of Commodore Schley to
take a hand the commodore seized the
megaphone and shouted to Capt.
Philip: Eyes, go in and give 'em-
Jack" The Texas landed two shots at
the battery, completely demolishing
it, Lieutenants Sharp and Harlow, in
command of the launches, were both
commended by Admiral Sampson for

the inhabitants of Caimanera have
strewn the streets with straw and oil
with the intention of destroying the
city and fleeing to the hills. Caiman-

Camp McCalla, under the guns OF the
American ships, and the situation is

umph of the American arms and with
out faith in the protection of the Span

in ashes behind them and seek safety
in the mountains of the north. The

her commander declaring that she will
never become an American prize. The
scouts also say that the Spanish sol
diers are in almost as complete a state
of panic as are the civilians, and that
they could easily be induced to sur
render. Some of the prisoners taken
by the marines also say they believe
the Spanish troops are on the verge of
surrender owing to the lack of food.
Capt McCalla, of the cruiser Marble
head and Lieut. Col Huntington, in
command of the marines, received in
formation that a general attack by
force of $500 Spanish soldiers and
guerrillas on Camp McCalla is contem-
plated within a night or two. Every
preparation was made for an expect
ed assault but the night passed with
out the firing Of a shot. The coast in
the vicinity of Guantanamo is dotted
with bright-hued Cuban flags. Numer-
Gus camps of the insurgents which
nave UceH eSldUllSueu along the Dodcn
between Santiago and this place are
used by the admiral as means of com
munication with the Cubans in the in
terror. The aid which these men have
given has proved highly valuable to
the Americans. Their stories Of the
restitution and revolt among the Span
ish soldiery in this vicinity have been
colToborated by interviews with pris-
oners captured around the camp.
There was brief bombardment Of the
blockhouse up the bay by the battle
ship Oregon, and it is thought during
the fight that at least score of Span
iards were killed. Scouting parties re-
port that the blockhouse was COM
pletely destroyed.
