treats of affairs upon the sea, andu more
than particularly relates to the thrilling
Incidents that attended the lombard
ment of Matanzas by the American
fleet. Upon this foundation the author
is said to have evolved drama Of much
interest, containing a charming love
story and running through it stream
Of comedy of sufficient depth*to relieve
the drama of any somberness, and to
provide it with variety of elements
which is always necessary in a success

locating it's action as it does in: connec-
ton with great war incident; unlimited
opportunities are presented for scentic
display. These are said to have. been
taken fnlly advantage of and the staging
of the production il promised to be of a
most elaborate character. The CON-

ploy is said to be most complete one in
every particular.
