to the American squadron.
"The Yankees are deceiving them
selves" Marshall de Rivera declared,
"as to the situation in the Philippines.

LONDON, May 2S.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of The Times, commenting on
the feeling Of sadness prevailing in
Spain" says:
1T is less on account Of ministerial
dissensions, which are not really seri-
ous than on account of a fuller appre-
hension Of the difficulties Of the situa-
tion-namely, that II is hopeless to ex-
pect any assistance from Europe even
France and Russia being, since Mr.
Chamberlaln's speech. averse from do
ing anything TO precipitate complica-
tions. Spain now sees that she must
trust TO herself alone in an unequal
struggle that can have only one end.

WASHINGTON. May 2S.-Admiral ST.
card, president Of the naval war board
said Yesterday that he was convinced
that the Spanish fleet was stnl i'm the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
This also is the opinion Of Secretary
Long and the other officials of the navy
department. Up TO the present time
however the only information the de-
partment has is the first report from
Commodore Schley that one of his
scouts had received word from the shore
that the fleet was I'm the harbor. Fall
ure TO hear anything more from Com
modore Schley gives some basis for the
belief that he found that the Spanish
ships had sailed before he arrived and
that he has gone in pursuit Of them.
This belief is strengthened by cables

Coming Attractions

BURBANK -(Advance An
nouncement) Mrs. Romualdo Pachecos
new four-act comedy, 1.-THE Leading Man,"
will hold the boards at the Burbank during
the coming week. The new comedy was
first produced in San Francisco, where it
had a most successful run for twenty
nights. The production will be given I'm
der the personal direction of Mrs. Pacheco
1.-THE Leading Man" Is a neat, lively
novel and very enjoyable production The
story of the play turns on the mistake of
a wife, who has written play and wishes
to have it passed upon by a practiced ac-
tor. Instead Of confiding her desire to her
husband, she invites the leading man of
a metropolitan theater to visit her secret
ly, for the purpose of criticising the piece
He Is a rather impressionable chap and is
disposed to be more friendly than neces-
sary. Unexpectedly the husband returns
and, to excuse the presence of the actor
the wife introduces him as her cousin, who
was expected from the west He falls in
with the conceit and is welcomed in the
heartiest manner by the family. In the
meantime the real cousin (who Is the op-
posite Of the actor in all things) arrives,
but, being himself in trouble from the
wiles Of a supposed adventures whom he
met upon the overland train, and anxious
to escape the angry pursuit of her hus-
band, he willingly consents to his own role
being assumed by the actor. Then the
trouble begins, involving a physician, who
has fad of treating every ailment with
electricity; the leading mans sweetheart,
who jealously fails to understand what is
going on, and several other characters,
society people, are seriously mixed up in
the complication before all Is made clear.
The play will be given every evening. with

Musical Pieces Prevail

The more prominent New York theaters
this week. says the Dramatic Mirror. pre-
sent an unusual likeness in attractions
mot that the attractions are of equal merit,
but music seems to prevail. in the forms of
comic opera, musical comedy, musical farce
and extravaganza. At the Broadway is
THE Little Corporal; at Days, 1.-The
Runaway Girl; at Wallack's. 1.-The For
tune Teller; at the Knickerbocker, 1.-THE
Charlatan''; at the Herald-square. 1.-The
French Maid; at the Garrick, "A Day
and Night" and at the Casino, yankee
Doodle Dandy" In opposition to these
are seen three burlesques-in which music
is feature-three farc1cal comedies and
two attractions that may be called "dra-
matte" But no doubt the season will de-
velop changes that will put forward more
really dramatic matter, while the better
among the musical pieces will survive to
and variety to the alter offerings.
