IN MUSICAL CIRCLES.

The concert given at the Opera
House, last evening, by the Orpheus
Male Chorus, assisted by Mile Alice
Verlet, soprano, Robert Thrane, cell
list, Irma Nordkyn, pianist, and Ernest
Gamble, basso, was one of the artistic
musical triumphs of the present excep-
usually large, was a thoroughly repre-
sentative one, and the presence of so
many music lovers was proof positive
that interest in the cause is steadily
growing in this community. Interest
was well sustained throughout the pro-
gramme, and there were a number Of
encores during the evening, most Of
the demands being graciously complied
with.
The chorus had three numbers as
signed it upon the programme, and the
organization acquitted itself we'll Of
the tasks falling to it. Comes Martial
Hymn was given with the dash and
spirit betting it, while the number
opening Part H., Buck Nun Of Nidar~
os,' was excellently rendered, Mr.. S.
Emerson taking the tenor solo in a
very satisfactory manner. In response
TO The enthusiastic applause which fol-
lowed the chorus sang a Laughing
Song without accompaniment, but
under the dictatorship of Prof. Ar
benz. with the best results. The In
Ytation to Dance" by Jungst, was en-
Enthusiastically applauded. The chorus
is wen balanced, under perfect con-
troll. and has been very carefully Sc
laeted and instructed by Prof. Arbenz.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 8.-Wheth-
er the American fleet sank Spanish
torpedo boat destroyer on Friday night
has not been absolutely confirmed. At
10 o'clock Friday night the cruiser
New Orleans discovered what ap-
peared to be a torpedo boat destroyer
close to the shore and signalled the
flagship New York that it was evident
a night torpedo attack was to be made.
Both the New York and the New Or
leans opened fire and their shells burst
around the dark object. Finally
thlrteen-inch shell from the Massa-
chusetts was fired and the search
lights of the vessel were turned on the
spot where the supposed destroyer had
been sighted but not a trace of the
boat could be found, and it is believed
aboard the New York that she was
sunk. The first assumption was that
the vessel was the Pluton or the Furor,
as the terror is not understood to have
been at Santiago. On Saturday two
Schwarzkopen torpedoes were found
floating two miles south of Ell Moro.
This is the class of torpedo used by
the Spanish, and one of the two found
had only the practice head. Many Of
fcers believe that darkened railroad
train that was moving along the shore
was the real
Object Ofthe Rombardment
instead of a destroyer. No wreckage
had been found, no dead bodies have
been noticed, and it is possible that the
tOrpedOes were some Of those fired at
the collier Merrimac when Lieut. Hob
