A San Juan newspaper, giving an ac-

town by the American feet, has
reached New York. The paper says
the bombardment was regarded as a
joke. 1t declares that the projectiles
fired by the Yankees were covered
with advertisements of American shop
keepers. The paper says:
"After the firing the people began
handling with curiosity the cooling
shells, and then the whole affair took
on the appearance of huge joke. 1t

could speak a word of English were in

with Incurable Malady.
In q Letter to Friends in New York
City she Herself Declares That
the Stage Has Lost Her
Forever.

The New York Journal and Adver-
tiser prints the following: The stage
has lost Nine. Rhea forever. The IA
nous tragedienne says SO herself in
letter which has just been received in

Nine. Rhea sailed for Paris about
six weeks ago, and the ocean voyage

been a victim for years. Three weeks
ago she was removed from the apart
ments of friend in the Grand hotel,
Paris. to her chateau at Montmorency,
France. An eminent physician was
summoned to her bedside and declared
that her complaint was incurable.
"My doctors impose the utmost
quietness and rest" says Nine. Rhea
in her letter. land absolutely forbid
my even thinking of playing next sea-
son. In fact. can say that will never
act again."
Rhea was to have starred in oonjunc-
tion with Louis James and Frederick
Warde for three years. beginning next
September.
Rhea was educated in a convent and
began her stage career in Paris "a
years ago. One day when she was Is
years old she attended n reception at
which she met the great German actor,
Fechter. who told her that she looked
Just like Rachel. She was SO ignorant
of stage lore then that she had never
heard of that celebrated actress.
Fechter asked her why she did not go
upon the stage. She replied that she
had never thought of doing So When
she got home that night she found that t
| she could not get Fcchter's remark out
| of her head. The next morning the lit

came to the United States IL 1882 and

mountain were recorde ed, and since that
date fifty, the present one making the
siXtieth.

and then again to have long periods Of
almost uninterrupted activity, as dur
ing the years between 1717 and 1877,
when it was hardly in state of COM
plete repose at any time. From 1900 to
1851 it was quiet, and was covered with
wood and bushes, while cattle grazed
within the crater itself. Then came, on
December Is, 1881, with little or no
warning, most terrific eruption,
which was the first Of which detailed
accounts are given.
Smoke and ashes rose in the form of
a huge inverted cone, and obscuring
the sun, turned the midday OF Naples
