ago Friday. under the guns OF
the battleship, Oregon, the Mar
blehead and the Yosemite.
They raised Old Glory over the
ruins OF a block house and cable
station, whence a regiment OF
Spanish troops had been driven
by the well directed fire OF our
ships, and their tents are now
pitched upon the camping ground
of the enemy.
The landing was begun at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon. The
huts of the Spanish on the beach
were burned for sanitary reasons.
Not one.o of our men was injur-
ed. The Spaniards fled like sheep
soon after our fire was opened.
The Marblehead. Dolphin and
Vixen, with the golfers Sterling
and Kingston, had lain off the
entrance of the harbor several
days. This morning they were
joined by the Oregon. Streaming
into the harbor for a mile, they
opened fire on the earthworks.
The shores were lined with the
guns and rife pits OF the Span
iards.
A small gunboat ran down
from the city of Guantanamo,
four miles up the bay, to aid the
batteries but she did not stay
long. Scarcely had she arrived
within range before she turned
and fled back to the city without
firing a shot.
The hills back of the block
house and earthworks were de-
serted and there were no de-
lenses on the opposite side of the
harbor.
Fifty shots were fired by our
warships at the Notifications,
The cable station and block house
were knocked into ruins by six
inch shells.
The Spaniards fred a few shots

rife pits.

CRUSOE'S ISLAND IN 1898.
Had Robinson Crusoe been really
cast upon Juan Fernandez he would
does in the story. The island Is bleak
er and colder than De Foes picture OF
1t. 1t is only twelve miles long by
about seven miles wide, but parts of
1t are the picture Of desodation It is
a great mass of rocks, which rises up
ward from the waters for more than
a thousand feet. 1t is made up of hills
and mountains, of little ravines and
valleys. The northern half of the ISL
and Is covered with a dense vegeta-
ton, as Mn. Spemcer'S photographs
show, but the southern half is as bleak
and bare as the western slopes of the
Andes in the rear of the Peruvian des-
ert. The most Of the shores are iEac-
cesible. The best landing place is at
Cumberland bay, at which point there
is now a fishing settlement which
includes about all the people of the
island. There are, it is said, only
fifteen people now living there
Back of the settlement on the
bay there are cottages, or straw huts,
which once formed the homes of quite
a number of settlers who lived here.
These huts are made of came wattled
with straw. There are gardens about
some of them, and at cine time there
was an agricultural colony here One
man attempted to start a stock-rais-
ing plantation, and he had, 1t is said,
as many as 10000 head of cattle and
an equal number of sheep grazing in
the valleys on the north OF the island.
OF late, however, l am told that this
business has almost entirely diSap-
peared, and cattle are allowed to go
wild, and there are now on the island
wild sheep, wild goats and wild mules

The ST. Paul Stage.

"Magda," which will be given to-
night at the Grand opera house by
the Henderson stock company, is a
play which should be interesting to all
classes Of theatergoers. 1t has never
been seen in st. Paul, and Is therefore
to be accounted quite a novelty 1t is
also a novelty by reason of the fact
that the piece, which is considered one
of the best domestic dramas given to
the public Of Germany during the last
twenty years, is psychological study
without the slightest trace of morbid
ness. Hermann Soudermann, the au-
thor, is one of the most successful nov
elists of Germany. His works for the
stage have placed him in the front rank
of the drama. He is not without
humor, and the play which will be
seen here is a satire on the conven-
tionality of society as 1t is found in
the provincial towns Of the German
empire, but it's morale is applicable to
any community. The action of the
play occurs in two days, and during
that space of time are evolved incidents
enough to cover a period of years.
''Magda" has been made known in
this country through the performance
of Nine. Modjeska, who is eminently
fitted for the portrayal of the powerful
role OIL LIE HSTOlile Oh SOuQGrmann S
drama. Everywhere "Megda" was pre-
sented it received unstinted common
dalton of the critical fraternity, and
has been as great a success in every
English speaking community as it was
in Soudermann's own country. A few
days ago Mr.. Mckee Rankin produced
the play in Minneapolis and attracted
the largest audiences brought together
during the past three months. The I'll
tie role will be assumed by Miss Sarah
Truax, and the part of Col. Schwartz,
the father, by Mr. Kendall Weston.
The play Of" Magda'' Is built on the
doings Of the self-willed daughter of
a Observation-Disclosures and domineer-
ing retired offcerA He Is Of the old
school, with the restricted ideas of
right and wrong inherited from many
generations Of ancestors. Magda has
been ordered to marry the clergyman
Of the Villages She rebels, and rather
than submit to the arbitrary COM
mands Of her father she leaves home
and goes out into the world. She strug-
giles heroically, unknown to her sor-
rowing parent, and at length gains
foremost position as singer. Years
pass and she returns under an assum-
ed name to her native village She Wis
it's her home, and her father Is re-
luctantly induced to receive her. The
great force OF the action of the play
lies in the striking contrasts between
the conventional methods of her rela-
tives and the Bohemian spirit which
she has fmbibed during her wander
ings. The struggle of her father to
bow to the new conditions which sur
