Many good plays come TO Seattle in a
seasons course, but few better than THE
Purser"-if real fun and good acting make
up criterion The Seattle theater held
a very fair audience last night. though for
a first night 1t might have been larger.
The second production, tonight, will prob
ably prove drawing card.
THE Purser'' Is billed as a nautical COM
edy Farce-eomedies usually include horse
play. more or less refined as the case
may be. II horse play may ever be called

Of The Purser." While the situations are
ludicrous, the lines fully free. and the OPP
portunty for action unlimited "a combina-
tion more than ordinarily dangerousl. yet

huffoonery throughout the play and that

companies that might be mentioned on the
spur Of the moment. The Purser'' would
fall fat before a critical eve. Not be-
cause its lines are tame, for assuredly they
are not. They are bright. Some Of them
even approach the sparkle. But the free

Troop ships Draw Spectators. Who
Are Not Allowed on Hoard.

Under favorable conditions the Manila
troop ships. Ohio and Centennial, would
have been the center OF attraction for the
large crowds of sightseers that thronged
the front during yesterday. The Ohio
was at Port Orchard and no one was
allowed near the Centennial.
The Ohio went over TO Port Orchard
for coal and cleaning up. 1t is not GER
tain when she VIII leave, but il Will prob
ably be tomorrow.
The Centennial ia likely to get away
today. She was taking on more British
Columbia coal yesterday. No one was 2l-
lowed near the big steamer without a
pass from capt. W. w. Robinson. jr An
armed guard was on duty and kept the
crowd, that came down 10 look the ship
over, behind the ropes. They were not
civil about 1t either. You could not talk
10 them about going aboard. Unless you
crawled back under the ronc quickly the
guards put YOU out. They had lots OF
trouble with women s.shtseerS who insist
cd on looking over the troop ship.
One woman said that her son was In
one Of the companies now at San Fran
cisco and might cross the ocean on the
Centennial. She wanted TO inspect the
steamer 10 see whether or not II would be
safe for HIN TO go. Needless to say she
did not get on.
The sightseeGs could not get on the big

which was lying on the other side Of

SENSATIONAL DEBATES.

Houses of the COrtes,

MADRID, June "a, s a. m.-The debate in
the Chamber of Deputies yesterday on the
Philippine question was marked by great
disorder. Senior Romero V Robledo. the
Conservative leader, attacked General Pola-
vieja, the former minister of war, for treat
ing with Aguinaldo, the nsurgent leader,
and was interrupted with shouts, THAT is
untrue" scene of the greatest confusion
followed and the sitting was suspended
When business was resumed Senior Rob
ledo continued his remarks He asked if
the government desired peace or war. If
peace, he added, Spain had better negotiate
direct with the United States, as the powers
would demand a brokers commission in
case they intervened. He exhorted all pres
ent to forget their party quarrels and re-
member that they are Spaniards. In the
course of his speech Senior Robledo CEN
sured the minister of marine, Captain Au-
non, and Admiral Cervera accusing the
minister of having granted unpatriotic in
terviews.
Captain Aunon defended the navy He
said Senior Robledo's remarks were insulting
and he characterized the public interviews
with him as being distortions" In conse-
qIence Of the last statement the reporters
left the Chamber of Deputies and only re-
turned at the close of the minister's speech,
which concluded with the announcement
that Admiral Camara was on his way to the
Philippine islands to defend the Spanish
flag.
Another uproaf was occasioned by Senior
Salmeron, the Republican leader, dencunc-
ing an attempt to close the debate. He
loudly exclaimed, 'It is an outrag,sy' and
was commencing an attack on the mon
archy when his voice was drowned by cries
from all parts of the house. The uproar
continued for some time, and when order
was restored the president announced that
the chamber would meet In secret session
and discuss internal affairs
In the Hobbies, subsequently, there was
great excitement, occasioned by former
Deputy Samper shouting. as Senor SAL
meroa was leaving the house: THE Repuh-
licans are devoid Of shame If they allow the

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Deep Concern Manifested by Those in
AuthOrity-Captain CaprOn.

Deep Concern Manifested by Those in
Acknowledgements CaprOn.
WASHINGTON. June 25.-Up to o'clock
this morning neither the President nor Sec
retary Alger had received official news con-
corning the land engagement near Santiago
which occurred yesterday morning. At the
office of Adjutant General Corbin official
confirmation of the Associated Press dis
patches is expected at any moment. The AS
sociated Press conveyed to both the Presi-
dent and Secretary Alger the only informa-
ton concerning the battle which they have
received as yet.
When the first bulletin relative to the en-
gagement was shown to Secretary Alger, at
o'clock, he expressed the deepest concern
and requested that he be given further par
ticulars as soon as they were received.
Shortly before o'clock the story OF the en-
gagement was read to Secretary Alger
through a telephone by a representative of
the Associated Press. AS the names of the
killed and wounded were read the secretary
making note of them as they reached him.
While the secretary expressed the deepest
regret for the loss of the officers and men,
he was greatly gratified to learn that the
American forces had achieved what ap-
peared to be so decisive a victory and
gained so excellent position for the heavy
engagement which is confidently expected
to take place in day or two So great was
the interest Secretary Alger manifested in
the battle that he requested, notwithstand-
ing the lateness of the hour, that he be
given any further particulars which might
be received.
No information concerning the officers and
the men killed in the engagement could be
obtained at the War Department, as no off,
GERS having charge of the muster rolls were
on duty. Capt. Allyn K. Capron of Troop
l.. Roosevelt's Rough Riders. who Is
among the killed, was a son of Can't. Allyn
Capron. OF the First Artillery, and was well
known in Washington. He was second
lieutenant of the Seventh Cavalry. and was
recently promoted to be a captain in the
volunteer service. and was given command
Of Troop L. of the Rough Riders. He was
a young and dashing officer, and was re-
