MISS IredelPs School Exercises "Wednesday
Even ing.
Ihe chapel of the West PRESBYTERIAN
church was crowded Wednesday to see
the closing exercises of Miss Carrie Ire
oelrs select school, enacted. A neat lit
Ile stage had been erected for the occa-
sion. A long and exquisite program had
been arranged, and it was well rendered
by the little folks. The ushers, two little
boys in white duck trousers gave out
programs at the door.
The singing of the children deserve
mention, for their voices blended to-
gether perfectly. especially the trio "The
Roses Nod Their Heads" sung by Dor
othy Bacon, Oleta Minch and Marguerite
hlrby. Perhaps the most entertaining
and laughable sketch on the program
was dialogue "Royal Tarts." Robert
Fithian as the king of Hearts and Doro-
thy Bacon as the Queen of Hearts were
especially fine. 1t was an interesting hit.
Patriotism in these times is every-
where and last night it crept into the en-
tertainment with the singing "Red.
White and Blue" 1t was sung by twelve
children all who carried flags. 1t was
rendered beautifully and brought down
the house.
Miss Oleta Minch in the recitation
"Goodest Old Doctor" was splendid.
The tam BOURNE drill was another pretty
thing, the children went through the
evolutions perfectly, and the drill re-
fected great credit on their teachers.
The ballad of the Waller Lot with IL
lustration was acted out by the little
folks in very clever manner and then
the good night song closed the program.
This afternoon from four to six O'Clock
Miss lredell will give lawn party to
the children at her Lake street residence.

felicitous in his remarks, which were
eminently fitted to the time in general,

that individual effort was futile to modify
or change existing conditions, al

On Board the Associated Press Despatch

p. m.-The flagship New York spent

Of Matanzas on the East. The general
belief is that the cream of the prizes has
Spanish merchant vessels will venture
into these waters.
The Associated Press despatch boat
Dauntless left the feet to return to Key
West on her third round trip since last
Friday, at 7.30 this morning in the teeth
of % knot gale from West of North.
The Associated Press had an interview
with Rear Admiral Sampson in the Ad-
miral's cabin on the flagship yesterday
morning While not SO rsticent as when
president of the Maine court of inquiry.
the Rear Admiral nevertheless insisted
that nothing he said should be published
except in SO far rs he expressed satisfac
ton with the conduct Of the blockade
The new Rear Admiral is entirely compe-
tent to sustain the responsibilities of his
position, and also perfectly capable of
handling his fleet to the best advantage
whsn the opportunity comes.
OF course the absorbing topic from Ad-
miral to coal passer is, when do we take
Havana? One could not help thinking
yesterday, when lying near shore how
easy it would be to land troops at parti-
cular point or at hundreds of others on
the coast. The toy forts on the hills
would not brighten a battalion of school

ship, where 1t was thought at first he
might be of special use owing to his local

but the lad has not been well and it was
thought better to send him home.
1t is almost ludicrous to see the
transition in the case of Spaniards taken
prisoners on the captured merchantmen,
from state of vociferous grief and fear
to one OF the most complacent politeness,
when they find that there is no, intention
to maltreat them. Tears change to smiles;

EXPECTS ATTACK ON MANILA,

Madrid, April 27.-1l AMI he Liberal
reminds General Fitzhugh Lee that "flve
days have elapsed OF the fifteen he prophe-
sled would suffice to drive the Spaniards
out of Cuba, and asks, Gin view of,the
little progress made whether Gen. Lee has
not miscalculated. -
Continuing, the Liberal says: ut ap-
pears that coup de main upon Manila is
now intended, but the Spaniards are
quite confident that the result will be dis
astrous to the Americans. There is great
enthusiasm at Manila where 5000 volun-
teers have been enrolled, and a warm re-
ception is being prepared for the Ameri-
cans"
In conclusion the Liberal prophesies
that friction will arise owing to Ameri
can intrusion in the waters of the far
East where the European powers and
Japan have barely succeeded in establish-
ing nodus yivepdi and where European
merchant ships swarm
