The condition of Wheaton street from
the foot Of Liberty to the Toll gate is in
deplorable condition. If the County
Commissioners and the city authorities
had entered into an agreement to reduce
the Thunderbolt shell road ineo a condi-
ton of "innocuous desuemde" they would
probably have permitted Wheaton street
TO lapse into just such condition of dis
repair as il is at present It certainly re-
quires courage in one TO attempt to reach
the outlying country by way of that thor
oughfJre. The connections between the
streets and the costly system of county
roads to the east of the city
are not such as to induce
travel or cause citizens ana taypay-
ers TO expand their chests with pride. A
division of municipal authority. such as
the legislature considered Co be good for
savannah, seems to be conducive to in
creased taxation, but not to good roads
good government or any other especial
good to the taxpayers.

Sometime go we called attention 10 the
fact that most of our cruisers and battle
ships were not in condition TO 80 on a
warike expedition across the ocean-that
their bottoms We're foul and that their
machinery was in need of repair-and that
therefore it was probable that Commodore
Watsons cruise 10 the coast of Spain with
a squadron of battleships and cruisers
would be delayed much longer
than was generally expected. 1t is now
announced that the Texas has been or
dered to the Brooklyn dry dock, and that
others ships Of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet
will be sent there as fast as they can be
accommodated. This announcement would
seem TO indicate that Commodore Wat
son isn't to start for the coast OF Spain at
once, even if nothing should come of the
peace negotiations which have been in
augurated 10y Spain.
It is doubtful If much would be accom-
pished by sending squadron TO the
Spanish coast. 1t is far from certain
that the few warships which Spain has
left could bo reached without great risk
10 our ships because they would seek
shelter behind strong land batteries, and
il wouldn't tend TO make Spain more anx-
ious for peace 10 bombard her coast cities.
And it would be d mistake 90 send
across the ocean warships which We're not
In hrst-class condition It Is quite certain
that some of the best ships in our navy
are not in that condition. 1t has been
many months since they have been in a
dry dock
IL Is a pretty safe conclusion therefore
that Spain need not fear an attack by our
warships in The near future. There viii

Since the beginning of the year some
twenty national banks have gone into vol
untary liquidation. Among them are two
Boston banks-the Everett and the Ma

banks There is an excess of capital in
the banking as well as in most other in
dustries. and this is further indicated by
the falling interest rate.

The destination of Skaters expedition
was known everywhere before it left Flor

even in Washington until the landing had
been accomplished. Miles kept everybody
guessing, and guessing wrongly, until he
was ashore That is what is called

Lieut.. Hobson is proving himself a use
full officer as well as a brilliant one. There
may not be SO much glory in raising the
Colon as in sinking the Merrimac, but
there will be more substantial service in
il, and the fact that he was selected by
Admiral sampson to direct so difficult and
important a work shows that he is appre-
ciated for something besides daredevil
bravery.

Kingston. Jamaica. June 28-Advices
have been received here to the effect that
Linares. the Spanish general command
ing at Santiago, caused every road lead
ing into that city to be mined with dyna-
mite. in order to stop the progress of the
American troops in their onward march
upon the city.
He believes that IL his plans can be sue
cessfully carried out the result will be an
annihiiation of the advance divisions Of
the American and Cuban armies.
This Information was contained in a
letter from Santiago just received by a
Cuban now in Kingston. His corre-
spondent added that the Spanish officers
expect to do enormous damage by this
system of mines.
A story is in circulation here to the ef-
feet that after the fighting about Bal
quirf last Wednesday a band of Cubans
who participated boasted of having found
a wounded Spaniard, a mere lad, lying in
the brush, and that they prodded him
with machetes in an effort to make him
tell of the situation in the city of Santi-
ago.
Either the Spaniard did not understand
or else he knew nothing about Santiago.
He gave the Cubans no satisfaction, and
they set upon him with great ferocity,
according to the story, killing him and
cutting of his head.
1t is understood here that the story Is
being investigated by General Shafter.

Glen EchO-"Fra d..

When that redoubtable bandh.

fastness of years into the midst of the
large audience ready 10 greet him last
night at Glen Echo. his eyes probably
blinked al first from the unaccustomed
light. For Auber's brilliant and forceful
masterwork has not been seen for a short
decade and his bold hero has not had the
temeri,y to step upon the local stage
since w. T. Carleton donned his attire
many moons ago at the Grand Opera
House.
Judging from the enthusiastic applause
with which he was received neither him
self nor his companions have lost any
thing during their seclusion nor can they
lose anything in comparison with other
and prior presentations. Not only was the
cast of the fullest excellence but The
thousand and one details that go to make
up successful production had beeen care
fully attended to and looked after. The
orchestra. under the competent direc-
ton of George Towles. rendered most ef-
licient service and won an encore for its
opening overture. while the chorus not
only looked well in any attire but sang
and acted as only talented and well-train-
ed choruses can sing and act. The seem
cry used had been painted especially for
the OHerlNg anu tNt ll3ue
the same purpose. while the light effects
were remarkable.
Charles Hawley, whose hit as the Mar
quis in ''The Chimes 10 Normandy can
hardly have been forgotten essayed the
title role with ease and confidence. His
vocal powers are so well known as not to
need description. while his impersonation
was admirable in every particular Frank
Deshon and Tom Springer as his two
assistants. could not have been improved
upon. They took advantage of every op-
portunity. whether grave or gay. and
kept the audience either laughing at their
nonsense or applauding their forceful
work. The Lord and Lady Allcash of
Harry Carter and Viola D'Armon were
both merit orious, the fine tenor of the
one and the rich contralto of the other
blending to a nicely in their many duets
and being heard to great advantage in
their solo numbers.

Daily Mail indicates anew the purpose of
Spain to hold on TO the Canary Islands at
all hazards
This letter, which Is dated June 16.
states that most of the new forts at Las
Palmas have guns mounted, but are still
quite exposed to view. The earthworks
are not nearly completed. 1t is reported
that 10Cc0 more soldiers are on the way
from Spain. OF these. 5000 are for the
Grand Canary and the others are for
Tenerffe.
One Spaniard has died of smallpox in
the hospital, but there are hopes that
there will be no epidemic
Nearly all the shops are closed and
most of the better class of Spaniards have
gone to the hills to await events.
The soldiers are having It all their own
way in Las Palmas and in Teneriffe
business is absolutely at standstill and
many OF the sugar mills are closed If
this state of uncertainty continues much
longer it will mean starvation to the
working classes.
The inhabitants of Telde. a village 6
miles from Las Palmas. had a great scare
yesterday. Men and women ran for their
lives TO the hills on hearing the sound of
firing at sea. Everyone thought the
Americans had at last arrived.
1t turned out to be the British cruiser

Three Spanish torpedo boats, the Ariete.
the Azor and another whose name is un-
known, still remain In the harbor. All
lights that can be seen from the are

order makes II hard on the ships in port,
especially the Dido whose officers do not

pense and would welcome anything that
would end the war one way or another.

AT THE THEATERS.
Columbia-.E.mer.lda."


Improved by the addition Of pair OF
electric fans the Columbia Theater open
ed last night for the sixth week of its
summer season. The fact that the audi
ence was large: that 1t greeted every
player vociferously. and that the enthu-
siasm throughout the entire entertain
ment was unbounded. promised much for
the prosperous continuance of the COM
pany quartered there. though not so
much as does the excellent work of the
organization itself. For the presentation
is such a one as Is rarely surpassed by
road combinations and as has never been
equaled by stock people Indeed. II "Es-
meralda' has ever been better given 1t
may be taken for proof positive that the
word perfection may be compared.
The piece is the joint work Of Mrs
Burnett and William Gillette. the one
having written the story while the other
turned II into its present state. Filled
with choicest and most delicate senti-
ment. 1t satisfies the sense of intelligence
as fine perfume does that of smell. or as
rare viands do the taste. Its plot is SIM
pie and yet laden with the elements of
the excellence of its construction or the
natural charm 1t possesses.
The cast presents some of the most eX-
quisite individual characterizations even
seen here. Edward Mackay makes a
manly and convincing Dave Hardy. His
portrayal shows intelligence, force. and
containment while his many personal
qualities give him an inestimable ad-
vantage over those who have previously
plays opposite him in an almost equally
pleasing way, her impersonation develop
ing many hitherto unsupported abilities.
Some of her mannerisms are a trifle un-
pleasant. but her work. as a whole. is
both comprehensive and consistent. The
Elbert Rogers of James o. Barrows Is by
far the most artistic impersonation he has
ever given us. its many fine points and
its powerful reality making it strong be-
yond measure. while Agnes Findlay is
good. if not unusually so. as Mrs. Rogers
and John Lancaster displays all the vi
tality and vivacity that make his acting
delightful.
Two of the cleverest portrayals of the
evening We're those contributed by Will
lam InGersoll and Maud Haslam. The
former presents one of Mr.. Giilette's ideal
parts with the repose and idlencss ex-
hibited by that gentleman together with
a little extra fidelity to nature Mr.. In
gersoll makes his dawdler somewhat on
the model of John Drew sans the cadish-
ness. Maud Haslam does her usual brill
liant work in line of broad comedy and
achieves her ordinary standard of abil-
ity. Dorothy Hammack. n new member
of the company. is pretty and prepos-
sessing Kate Desmond and ]. Bass a
dignified. If a trifie amateurish. Drew.
Alexander Kearney shows his before-eN-
hbited disregard of opportunities and
presents an exceptional hea' part in the
ordinary melodramatic All Mr..
