blockade continues under favorable

The flagship returned to the blockade
line about $50 o'clock last evening sf-

Ing her absence.
When darkness came on last night
Morro Castle showed a searchlight. An
other searchlight also was seem 1t ap-
peared to be from the direction Of the
Santa Clara batteries to the westward

time these searchlights have been used.

1t is believed that every steamer
which has attempted to enter Havana

Miss Rosa Green comes from London
as the principal contralto for the festl-
val. She is a native of Kentucky, but
has spent most of her time abroad and
has never been heard in public here.
She comes with high testimonials of
merit and ability, having met with
great success in all her concert work
there. She has been associated with
Trebelli, Lloyd, Santley and Ella Rus
sell and many Of the most prominent
singers of Europe. She will doubtless
add new laurels by her work at this
festival. She has had excellent oppor-
tunities for studying the works of Mas
senet, GODDARD and Widor under the i'm
mediate supervision of the composers,
each of whom has taken unusual in
terest in her career.
H. Evan Williams is beyond question
Americas leading tenor. Although of
Welsh descent, he was born in Ohio
He possesses a fine physique, and his
voice is of exceeding smoothness and
beauty. 1t is particularly adapted for
oratorio and concert work, and he has
always made an extraordinary success
at every festival in which he has ap-
peared. He is a great faVorite at both
the Worcester and Maine festivals and
has Just returned from his vacation in
excellent health and spirits. He made
great success in the oratorio of Mes
siah," which he sang recently at Ocean
Grove, n. J. His singing aroused the
audience to the greatest enthusiasm,
and several music critics present who
had often heard Mr.. Williams declared
that his voice never sounded so full,
clear and brilliant as on this occasion.
In addition to the beautiful arias which
Mr. Williams will sing at the festival,
he Will repeat, by special request, the
duet with Mr. Miles. Excelsior" which
created a furore at the festival of 1897.
Mr. Everett NJ Waterhouse was born in
Portland. He possesses strong, clear
tenor voice and during his college course

is the solo tenor in one of the largest
churches of Boston. a great student
and earnest worker, he has met with

The personnel of the great artists who
are to appear this season is most inter
esting. Nine. Johanna Gadslti Is the
leading soprano, and she maintains to-
day an enviahle reputation in the fore
most rank of younger German drama tic
singers. She has made a great success
in opera and made her first appearance
in New York in March, 1896, with the
Damrosch German Opera company. Her
triumphS are not confined to the oper-
attic stage, for as q concert singer she
has been applauded in Germany, Hol-
land and the United States. At the
Worcester (Mass.) festival in 1897 she
won the unanimous and most hearty
praise of professional musicians, audi
ences and critics. In her solos and en-
semble numbers from works of Wagner
she aroused the next night the widest
enthusiasm. OF rarely sympathetic

tival chorus. possesses great musical
ability and is very efficient in drilling
and handling a chorus. Director Chap
man has made him his assistant con-
ductor for this festival, and he is now
visiting different choruses throughout
the state, stimulating them to more en-
thusiasm in active preparation for this
great festival.
Mr. D. Ffrangcon Davies was born in
Wales and is acknowledged to be one of
the greatest baritones of the day. In
oratoro work he is unsurpassed. He is
full of sentiment and dramatic ability
commits every score to memory and
sings with an intensity of feeling and
dramatic fervor rarely heard on the
concert stage. His impersonation of
Elijah is simply marvellous, and it is
safe to predict that it will be one of the
val of 1898 by all those who are so for
tunate as to listen to this great artist
in this role. He has been identified
with the most important festivals Of
America and with all the leading mu-
steal organizations and oratorfo produce
lions in this country, including Boston,
Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati and New
York, where his Elijah was pronounced
by the entire press to be q masterpiece

been heard in this country intellectual

were present and helped to make 1t

the chorus felt this pride this interest.
1t was her festival or his festival, and
this idea was carried out in every de-

were lost in the one great effort and

Director Chapman knew and recog-

no money in getting the best of soloists
and orchestral players, he also spared
neither time nor strength in rehearsng
the different choruses. which under the
faithful weekly drilling from their con-

Of various nationalties." No act Of
the present Hawaiian Government,

been submitted for the acceptance

The project of annexation during

hold it in special favor. Opinion in
America is by no means entirely
with him, as the following passage
from the New York Times shows.
Speaking OF the proposed treaty by
which the Provisional Government
OF Hawaii offered to cede to the
United States all rights of sover-
eighty, this journal said:
st is doubtful whether it would
be advisable for the Government Of
the United States to accept this
muni6cent offer, with the response
biity that it's acceptance would in
volve If it came from the owners Of
the sovereignty and public property
