parently fitting for sea. A great many
concerning it's condition, correspondents
of English papers asserting that some of
the vessels were unseaworthy and that
the most of them were in very poor con-
dition. The best ship of the feet is the
Pelayo which is battleship of differ
emit pattern from ours. There are three
or four armored cruisers like those now
shut up in the harbor Of Santiago, besides
several torpedo boat destroyers and con-
verified cruisers of not much use as fight
ing ships. The feet started out some time
ago but returned in few days 1t was
said at the time that it went out simply
for manoeuvering. Of course it can
only be conjeotured where the fleet is
bound now. The fact that 1t has passed
into the Mediterranean effectually mega
tiyes the rumor in circulation that it was
bound for our coast. Our coast does not
lie in that direction. If its destination
were Manila this is the course 1T would
take. subsequently passing through the
Suez canal into the Indian ocean and
thence to the Philippines. But 1t Is ex-
| ceedingly improbable for many reasons
that Manila is it's objective point. From
Cadiz TO Manila by the Suez canal is
5000 miles, and before Cam ara can posi-
bly, get there Dewey will have been rein
forced by the Charleston and the Monte
reg, and his squadron made much more
than match for the Cadiz feet. Further
more some 5000 American troops will
have been landed, and the city be in pos
session. of the Americans. For Camara
to sail to Manila would be to sail to
almost certain destruot on. Furthermore
all the fighting ships that Spain has left.
now that Cervera is bottled up at Santi-
ago. are in this squadron. To send them
to Manila would be to strip her home
coast and render it practically defenceless
against our ships. Every one of our
battleships could be sent there as soon
as Cervera's feet is destroyed which can
not be long, and her coast towns subject
ed to destructive bonn bardment. That
the Spanish government will be so short
sighted as to send all Spain's lighting
ships to Manila with hardly possibility
that they can do any good there, and leave
her hoIpe coast and her Atlantic and
Caribbean colonies detenceless is too much
to believe 1t is much more probable that
Camara's fleet has gone into the Mediter-
ranean on a practice cruise than that 1t
has started for Manila. However, if that
be its destination we shall soon know it
certainly for it cannot escape being OBJ
ser ed and reported when it passes
through the Suez canal.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE JEFFERSON.

The A ndrews Opera company appeared
at The Jefferson last evening in Auber's
musical opera Fra Diayolo, that for so
many years has been a fayorite with all
artists of repute, grand opera companies
having no scruples against including 1t in
their repertoire. Portland has been
favored by many representations of the
work and by singers whose names stand
at the head of their profession. Conse-
quently it was quite critical as we'll as
a very large audience that listened to its
delightful airs last evening.
The story of ERA Diavolo,' as may
not be known to some, is the tale of a
noted italian bandit who infests with his
band the country about Terraoina. At
the inn in this town an English tourist,
Lord Allcash and wife stop on their we'd
ding tour, because they have been way
laid by Dlavolo's gang, who failed to
secure the money and diamonds hidden
from them. Diavolo, followed by Beppo
and Giacomo, two of the band, also come
to the inn to see if they can find the
valuables. Here Diavolo Is entertained
by the innkeeper's daughter Zerlina, who
Is engaged to young officer Lorenzo,
who commands the troop in pursuit of
Diavolo. A number of amusing ad.
ventures take place at the inn, but, in
the end, one of Diavolo's men turns
traitor and Diavolo is entrapped and
shot,
Such Ia brief is the story. The scene
being laid inItaIy permits of much scenic
display and picturesque costuming.
Miss Myrta French made her first ap-
pearance in the part of zerlina, and she
Is to be complimented for the general
finished character OF the effort. In the
first act she did not appear quite as much
at ease as could have been desired, but in
the second act, in the disrobing scene,
she was very arch and effective. AS for

No doubt it is beneficial to Spain to
cultivate the idea that Germany is going
to interfere in the Philippines, for it
helps keep up the courage of the people.
The Spanish government having ceased
to be able to pretend that it can do any
thing to save those islands to Spain,
find some relief in this confession of i'm
potence by protesting to think that some
body else is going to do it for them. Prob
ably IL the truth could be known 1t would
Do found that nearly all the stories of
9srmany's intention to interfere at Ma.
Mia originate in Spanish sources, though
the assembling Of large feet of German
war vessels at Manila may help to give
them plausibility. Germany has assured
our government that she has no intention
of departing from the attitude of neutral
ity she assumed at the beginning of the
war; but an attack upon us at Manila
would be a departure of the gravest char
acter. It would be in fact declaration
of war upon US. Germany may not be
very sympathetic toward the United
States in this contest, but that she intends
to become the ally of Spain is too much
to believe, even though her ruler is vary
erratio person, and sometimes makes
strange breaks.

LETTER FROM LIEUT.. WEIGH.
Written From Chickamauga to MIR. A. w.
Lowell.

Lieut.. Frank B. W. WEIGH has written
of this city. From his letter the follow
ing extracts are taken:
1.-THE general health Of the regiment is
first class, and what little sickness there
is can be accounted for very readily, as
you are well aware what happens to many
of US when sudden change of tempera.
ture occurs, but nearly everybody has got
acclimated and is eating three meals a
day.
"We have seen no rain since we arrived,
until today and you can imagine the con-
dition, dust everywhere and all over
everything, but like everything else you
get used to it, though you cannot ignore
1t entirely.
"To keep anywhere near respectable we
are obliged to clean house every day, and
then If we were in camp at Augusta, we
should think that things were not as
clean as they should be.
"The trouble with our rations at first
was there was too much pork and canned
and we are getting about half rat1ons,
like fresh beef, potatoes and rice, and you
have no idea how much 1t braced the men
up. When the departments are able to
give us the full supply there will be more
ttan enough, and we shall be allowed SO
much for all we don't draw.
1--WE have breakfast at $50 a. M, and
drill from until $50 a. M, and then
rest until $50 p M. and it is hot enough
to keep reasonably quiet, as the ther-
mometer ranges anywhere from 95 to 115
in the shade. The men are getting used
to it and they spend considerable of the
time visiting among the differentl regi-
ments. We drill in the. afternoon from
$50 until o'clock, and have supper at
5.10 Dress parade every other evening
about sunset. Taps sound at 9.15, SO you
see we are early to bed.
We are very pleasantly camped in the
woods where the Northern and Southern
armies fought fierce = for two days, and
near us in the woods is tablet which
marks the place where General Bragg
made his headquarters. All around US are
monuments and stones showing the
positions held by the different regiments
and batteries. Those near us are mostly
Northern and largely from Illinois, Ohio,
Wisconsin and Michigan.
"Our medical staff have commenced
vaccinating and in day or two they will
have completed the regiment, and guess
that all will be glad when 1t is done, for
there il always sort of dread among
certain GLASS about being vaccinated.
Strange to say we have just had
shower and heavy one while it lasted.
We were all afoat in about five minutes,
the water running in streams through
nearly ali the tents. mine included. The
boys were equal to the occasion, and be-
fore we were aware of 1t there were five
or six from each company in the regi.
ment out in the rain, naked, digging
trenches as though their life depended
upon 1t, and curious sight it was. I
managed to get my trunk on top of my
cot and elevated myself ON an empty box
until after the shower"

The opportunities that the Philippines
will offer to the American people are op-
portunities to the trust and big aggrega-
tions of capital to increase their wealth,
and opportunities for the common people
to serve in the army and navy to protect
them while they are doing it. If the Ia
boring men want this kind of job they
can get it by shouting for the permanent
occupation of the Philippines.

While of course not all, or perhaps not a
majority, of those who voted for the an
nexation of Hawaii, are in favor of a so
called imperial policy and perhaps will re-
sist the annexation of the Philippines
when that question comes up there can be
no doubt but the annexation of Hawaii
will render the permanent occupation of
the Asiatic islands much easier. Hawaiian
annexation has established several prece
dents that the imperialists will not suffer
to DO forgotten. 1t is the first time we
have annexed territory not contiguous
that contained any considerable popula-
ton. 1t Is the first time that we have
annexed an independent state without
first obtaining the consent OF its people.
The impertalists in Congress made no
ooncealment of the fact that they thought
that the annexation of Hawaii was the
entering wedge for other annexations to
follow, and they were quite right in adj
vocating it as a measure destined to help
along their policy. That that will be the
e<fsct Of 1t there can be scarcely doubt.

Indian Commissioners Court.

Washington, March, 1.-The
twenty-ninth annual report of
the Board of Indian Commits
sioners, of which Merrill E.
Gates is chairman, has been
submitted to Secretary Bliss.
1t says that In the general
conditions of the Indians no
important changes have occurr-
ed. but there is evidence of
steady progress in industrial
pursuits and In education.
The board thinks that the
agreements of the Dawes COM
mission with the Choctaws and
Chickasaws of the Indian Ter
ritory have one serious defect.
They make no provision for
some thousands of Chickasaw
freemen whose rights as citizens
the government is bound to pro-
tect. If this defect can be rem
edied prompt ratification of the
treaties, by congress is urged.
Mention is made of the en-
larged and improved facilities
for Indian education inaugural
ed during the past years, and
figures are given showing
that the enrolment of the 280
schools of all grades, including
contract and mission schools
for 1897 was 1854, as against
an enrolment of 1851 for 1896,
The statistics presented are re-
garded as highly significant and
full of hope for the Indian race.
1t means, the board says, that
in few years a generation of
Indians will be raised up very
different from any that have
lived before-a generation of
people educated to speak and
read and write the language of
