POWERS STILL WORKING.

Washington, April 24.-The proposed
concerted action of the powers for the
protection of the flags Of neutral powers
is believed here to be designed more as a
warning to Spain than to have any other
significance. The representatives of the
powers say the contemplated action of the
powers is likely and natural move. al
though foreign governments have trans
mitted to them no notification of the
negotiations to that end. 1t is q measureof
preoautionpermltted by usages of past con
Hlots, but there is not to be implied IN it.
as understood here, any disposition to
question the sincerity of This government
as expressed in the formal notification as
to the course it will adopt, which has
been communicated to all the foreiup
governments. The full observance of fhe
neutrality law on the part of the Spanish
government is not regarded as at ali oar
tain. At the embassies of the powers
seeking concerted action, GERMANY
France, Austria and Italy and at several
others, likely to be interested, there was
no information on the subject This
shows the powers are carrying on their
negotiations independent of conferences
with their representatives in the two con-
tending countries and will await some
definite result in the way of formal
understanding and agreement on con-
certed action before communications are
opened with Washington, and probably
Madrid. 1t is possible that no concert Of
action can be agreed upon. On yarions
occasions. efforts at concerted action on
neutrality enforcement have failed nv the
refusal OF one OF the great powers to par
ticipate.

THE FIRST DISASTER.

Madrid, April 49, 4s p. m.-The gen.
eral feeling today has been somewhat
brighter but Ell Naconal. Conservative
publishes a pessimistio article accusing
the government of being in state of un-
preparedness, the consequence of which
brides the press.
The news Of the first disaster will prob
ably lead to a revulsion of feeling and
the making OF scapegoat of Senior
Moret. the secretary for the colonies, who
is now extremely unpopular
Senior Sagasta, the premier, in an in
terview today dt seribed the seizure of the
Buena Ventura as an act of piracy in
that it occurred prior to declaration of
war.
He expressed the belief that Great
britain would also protest against the

THE ARMY.
The Bill for Its Increase Passes the House.

Washington, April 23-The House to-
day passed the army reorganization bill
at the urgent request of the President and
Secretary of War but tho Senate did not
remain in session as was expected and the
bill will not go to the President until
next week. Some fear was expressed on
the Democratic side that the bill might
increase the regular army in time OF
peace but an amendment prepared by Mr..
Bailey which removed all doubt on this
score was accepted by Mr.. Hull and the
bill passed by an unanimous vote. The
bill re-organizes the army into the three
battalion form and authorizes the rs regi-
ments of the infantry arm of the service
to be recruited up to total of 81, 500 en-
listed men. 1t authorizes the recruitment
OF the III regiments of the cavalry arm of
the service to a total of IL, 1000, the seven
regiments of the artillery arm of the
service to 16, 450 and the engineer bat
talon of five companies up to 572 en-
listed men, including two on.commis-
stoned officers which makes total of
these four arms of the service when at
maximum strength of 61.01O. The in
crease of officers provided for in the bill
is:
First, 25 majors as provided in the first
section of the bill. These majors are to
te a permanent addition to the commits
stoned officers of the regular army.
Second, one hundred and fifty commits
ned officers to provide for the infantry
companies in the third battalion for each
of the 25 regiments of infantry.
Third, eighty -four second lieutenants
being one for each of the 81 batteries OF
artillery when recruited to a war strength
The second lieutenants are only to be adj
ded in the discretion of the President,
but assuming that the extra lieutenant
is necessary and will be commissioned for
each battery of artillery, it makes total
of commissioned officers in excess of the
present number authorized by law of rs.

This charming drama, which will be
seen at the Jefferson on next Thursday,
Fast day, matinee and evening, is receiv-
ing some of the finest press notices ever
accorded a play. The company also
comes in for general praise. We take the
following from an enthusiastic treat
ment of the performances at Bangor this
last week, which appeared in the News
of that city:
The performance was an artistic sue.

naturally so. 10 begin with, the capa-
BILE dralnatist Frank Mayo, had the
successful work of a famous author from
which to construct his play. There was
the literary merit of Mark Twain's book
as a foundation-the great story, with
it's lines full of beauty and brilliancy
and quaint huInor, and of this story the
dramatist has given vivid outline,
bringing out all, or nearly all, of the
entertaining points and strong situations
So, of course, it is great play.
Then the company was composed en-

'The Isle of Champagne, with
Thomas @. Seabrook, assisted by Rather
inc Germaine and q company said to
number sixty-two people will be seen at
the Jefferson tomorrow and Wednes-
day nights. The story of this tuneful
work of Louis Harrison and Charles
Alfred Bryne is too well known to need
repeating in these columns. 1t is the same
funny story told in the same tuneful way,
with liberal sprinkling of up-to-date-
ness which gives 1t more fizz and sparkle
than ever before. Manager David Biers,
while he presents to the theatre goers the
same rare old vintage, does so with
complete new dress.
MIR. Seabrooke's return to the role
written for him, and which he has made
famous. is one of the theatrical events of
the year, and it is safe to say that King
Pommery will continue to reign supreme
among theatre goers for some time to
coma. Mr.. Seabrooke has an able aSslS-
tant in Miss Katherine Gerinaine, a
prima donna of great beauty and voice.

Katherine Rober, who is to play return

week, is probably as well-known in Port
land as any actor or actress on the stage.
Her long connection with DR.. Lothrop's
forces at the time when he managed the
local theatres, made her familiar to a
very large number of this city's play
goers. and great proportion have turned
out every year since to give her support
in her engagements. They know her for

that anything she may have to offer is
the result of painstaking preparation and

night, Nov. IL. 1t is we'll worth preserv-
ing, and will no doubt, hereafter be often

1t may not be on the mountain heights,

My Lord will have need of me,
But, if by still, small voice He calls
70 paths that do not know
I'll answer, dear Lord, my hand in Thine !;
I'll go where you want me to go.
REFRAIN.
I'll go where you want me to go, dear
Lord,
Over mountain or plain or sea:
Pll say what you want me to say, dear
Lord.
Ill BIZ what you want me to be.
Perhaps to- day there are loving words
Which Jesus would have me speak
There may be now in the paths OF sin,
Some wanderer whom I should seek,
Q Savior, if Thou wilt be my guide
Though dark and rugged the way,
My voice shall echo Thy message sweet,
I'll say what you want me to say.
There's surely somewhere a lowly place,
In earth's harvest fields SO wide,
There I may labor thro' life's short day
For Jesus, the Crucified,
So trusting my all to Thy tender care
And knowing Thou lowest me,
I'll do with heart sincere,
I'll be what you want me to be.
