DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
METROPOLITAN.

Seasons come and seasons go, and ''The
Devils Auction" is quite as inevitable as
the changes in the year. 1t was at the Met
ropolitan last nightafor single performance.
Mr.. Yale is not a-:great originator, but he
keeps his show up to good standard. There
are number of clever. people in the COM
pany this year, and the .specialties are better
than the average. Some of them are exceed
ingly good. The spectacular portions of the
piece are gorgeous. The ballet is not very
large, but the people composing it are cap
able, and it is a great advertisement instead
of bore. The dancing was unusually good.
Harry NJ. Brown is versatile and entertain
ing in his specially with Mabel Harrison
Messrs Colby and De Witt do a couple of
clever turns, their acrobatic work being novel
and daring. Alexander Decca does a bur-
lesque trick bicycle turn that is commercially
good Among the ladies' in the company, Miss
Mayme Mayo and signorina Chi.len were not
ably good in their sDecielties.
GRAND.
To take Marie Wainwright out of the set
ting Of the past and frame her in the con-
ventions of modern melodrama Is no easy
task, but the fault is not hers. One cannot
divest the actress Of memories of a captiya-
ting Viola and an effective Rosalind, nor think
of her without at least passing regret for a
succession of heroines ranging from Shake
speare to Dumas And yet, seeing her in
even SO pronounced a melodrama as "Shall
We Forgive Her." presented last evening at
the Grand, one would not perhaps wish her
other than she IS =,

trial productions at the Grand about year
ago. 1t is the only one that has been a
very pronounced success, Only the adequate
manner in which it has been produced can
account for this AS raw material It pre-
sents but little that Is above the level OF
mediocrity. The story is neither unusually
novel nor unduly trite. There is a hero who
is an insufferable moral ,cad and heroine
who, while not theb colovless creation of the
average meIodrama, has little of opportunity
beyond the emotional distress without which
the play would not be true to type. There
are the inevitable Juvenile lovers, q vigorous

Previous Assaults on Havana.
From the Chicago Record
The prospect that Havana may soon be
under bombardment recalls the fact that the
city has suffered several similar attacks since
1t was founded in 1913. AS early as 1888 the
town underwent it's first siege, and was re-
duced to ashes by French privateer Eigh-
teen years later the French again attacked
the town and almost destroyed it. So long
ago as 1900 the Spanish government thought
it necessary to erect the MORO castle and
Punta fortresses which are still in existence
French, English and Dutch alike menaced
the city, and there was no little danger from
pirates. About the middle of the seventeenth
century it was determined to build the walls
which still answer for the Notifications o. the
island. But the first actual investment and
capture of Havana by the landing of troops
occurred in 1852, when a British fleet under
Lord Albemarle took possession of the city.
There were fully 200 vessels in the attacking
fleets, and these carried an army of 1900
men, as against the Spanish army Of 81, OG0.
After the payment Of large sum the island
was restored to the Spaniards in the follow
ing year.
If Havana is to be taken again it will be
but repetition, therefore, of three previous
capitulations, the capture effected by the
British in 1862 being by far the most i'm
portant. The destruction at that time was
by no means so severe in proportion, as that
in the earlier assaults under. the French.
There was a stubborn defense, however, and
the city finally surrendered only after mill
tary operation lasting from June to July 80.
But both the town and it's Notifications still
stood at the time of capitulation. The guns
and the naval equipments Of that time, of
course, were mere toys as compared with the
enormously destructive weapons Of modern
smes.
Leaves n Danger in the Rear.
From the Philadelphia Record.
While it is matter Of congratulation and
pride that the government can swing the
United States troops from Arizona and New
Mexico to the Atlantic seaboard in a few
days, the cattle raisers in those regions are
not delighted with the prospect. In New
Mexico alone there are 3S, 900 Apaches, most
of whom have grievances against the settlers;
and the latter would be at their mercy should
the troops be called away. The cattlemen
have accordingly laid the matter before the
war department. The contingency had APP
parently not been thought of in Washington;
but 1t is one which the government will have
to face and for which 1t will have to make

OPINIONS IN LONDON.
Walter DeImar Discusses the Situa-

London. April 5.-Americans in Lon

pocketbook of the Englishman is
touched. Today reports have been cir
culated that in case of war between
America and Spain the Atlantic cables
would be cut. leaving no communication
between Europe and America; that the
Pope was to mediate between Spain and
America; that Spanish torpedo boats
from Queenstown had followed the
steamship Paris on her trip from South
ampton. and would blow her up If she
failed to surrender as a prisoner of war.
There was a great sale of after
noon newspapers among brokers and
bankers in the city. and in the West
End clubs and hotels the tickers were
surrounded by groups of men three and
four deep until late tonight.
Walter Delmar. son Of Alexander Del

ton" said war was certain to come. as
the Spanish government could not re-
sist the popular movement in favor of
war. The Queen Regent was in pre-
cisely the same position as the King OF
Greece was last year; the dynasty would
be overthrOwn if she did not go TO war
for Cuba. The present state Of things
was having no effect on the commercial
situation. That was dependent more on
crops in America and elsewhere than on
peace or war. If there was a shortage
of crops outside Of America as there
was last year. and if American crops
were good, nothing could prevent the
balance of trade being largely in favor
of the Western republic.

CAPT. CHESTER'S ORDER.
A Stirring Appeal to the Patriotism
of His Men.

Springfield o.. April 5.-Hal. Koontz.
sailor on the cruiser Cincinnati, writes
to his father that the following special
order has been issued by Capt. Chester,
commanding the vessel:
THE commanding officer deems it
proper to announce to the officers and
crew of the Cincinnati that the time has
arrived when every man should prepare
himself for the extreme contingency OF
war with Spain. 1t is to be hoped that
such a condition of affairs may not come
to maturity, but ID behooveS us to be
ready for what seems inevitable. If the
verdict be war, the commanding officer
is assured that the Cincinnati will not
be found wanting, and the people or our
country who have placed their cause In
our hands in the firm belief that every
man will do his duty will find that their
confidence is not misplaced. From this
time out we should realize the precept
of Gen. Washington, the father of his
country, that Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty and every man should
perform the duty set before him as If
this one act was the salvation of the
land we love. All prisoners are hereby
released from confinement and the un--
executed portion of confinement sentence
is remtted. Trusting in God who rules
tho universe. let us invoke his aid in our
righteous cause and be on the alert to
take advantage of such means as he
shall put in our hands to bring luSter to
a Navy whose records are full of glorious
deeds"

REVIVED WHEN THOUGHT DEAD
The Archbishop of Lima Restored

Lima. Peru, via Galveston, Texas.
April 5.-Intense excitement prevails here
over what many citizens consider the
miraculous resurrection OF the Archbish-
op Of Lima, the Most Rev. Manuel An
tonic Bandini. ID. d.
After an Illness lasting many weeks
the archbiship apparently expired at
noon on Saturday last. He was seized
with DaroXysm and as he fell back
In bed those in attendance quickly felt
his pulse and listened for his breathing.
Both. it was said, had ceased, and the
archbishop was declared dead.
Immediately word was passed through
the city that the prelate had expired
Bells were tolled throughout Lima, a
guard of honor was placed about the
Episcopal Palace. and arrangements for
the funeral were begun.
Physicians who were present at the
time when the archbishop APPARENTLY ex-
pired were not entirely satisfied that life
was extinct, and on the bare chance
of reviving their distinguished patient
they determined to resort TO heroic
measures. They injected caffeine and
ether, and at l O'Clock in the afternoon
scarcely an hour after his pulse had
ceased, the archbishop opened his eyes
languidly and gazed on the expectant
group which surrounded his besdside.
CONSERVATION prevailed for an instant.
and even the physicians were surprised
Then extraordinary efforts were made to
restore him. These were fairly success
fui and the archbishop was able to
thank those present for their care The
doctors say that the archbishop has a

this fact is responsible for the first an
nOuncement of his death.
