posing, as few shots from her 15-inch
pneumatic gun would scatter 10000
men. Speaking of what Spain could do
Capt. Hill said:
I'm my opinion Spain would abandon
Cuba. Its navy could make for New
York and stop ten or twelve miles out
at night, get it's bearings from the
light houses and lombard the city for
twelve hours. At day light the YES
sells could ste am away. This can be
done while the ships of our navy are
in southern waters. After lombard
ing New York the Spanish navy could
put to eea and leave DO trail. The
sane thing could be done at Boston,
but not so easily, as the port there is
harder to enter. The gunboats would
have every advantage over the forces
at the Notifications at either harbor.
The gunners on the boats would have
half of New York state to fire at, while
theyi would look like specks on the
water. If they failed to hit one por-
ton of the city they would hit anoth-
err. On the other hand, every shell
that missed boat would be that much
lost. No navy is whipped until it is
caught, and if the Spanish followed
the 'tre-and-fsll-beek' tactics they
would be hard to catch. The average
Spanish gunboat mel es about sixteen
knots an hour on paper and ten on wa
ter, but the fight, if there is one, might
be a very disastrous one. The country
has much more at stake in case of war
with Spain.

A Triple Alliance.

Out of the Cuban crisis may come a
triple alliance embracing the United
States, England and Japan. Already
propositions are being considered,
your correspondent learns, looking to
a possible alliance between the United
States and Japan in the event OF war
with Spain, and it Is believed that
Great Britain has indicated q desire
for q union of forces.
1t is learned that negoti atiOns have
gone to the extent of preparation of
an informal memorandum, arranged
jointly by the Japanese minister and
assistant Secretary of State Day. II
has not been possible, however, to
confirm this report, although it is
know that the matter has been discus
sed.
The object OF the dual alliance be.
tween the United States and Japan as
explained to the writer, is to strength
en- our naval forces in the Atlantic
coast by Withdrawing the ava'le BILE
ships from the Pacific and Atlantic
stations and relying upon japan to
tske the Philippine Islands and look
af'er the Spanish fl ct in the Pacific.
In consideration for this assistance
which would afford Japan an opDor-
unity to br: aden her policy in the
far least, the United States is to agree
to give the mikado some special con-
cessiops in Hawaii after thu annex
alton of that island, and to allow Ja-
pan to take possession of the Phillip
pines.

Intervention to Escape Fever.
The Chicago POSTS Washington spe-
cial says:
If the forebodings based on scienti-
dc advises as to'the sanitary conditions
in Cuba are half realized there will be
new and stronger reason for Amer
lean Intervention in Cuban affairs
which has not yet been preached, and
is that peace must be restored in
order to protect the people of the
United States from the danger ct cpl
denies. It is believed by the officials
of the marine hospital services and by
experienced naval officials, who are
acquainted with the conditions, that
Cuba will be overrun by q devastating
epidemic of yellow fever during the
coming summer. If the disease should
assume form as desperately bad as
anticipated Eothing but q miracle
could prevent it from being commun-
icated to the large American cities
along the Atlantic coast and thence 10
the interior. A member OF the adj
ministration said today that the pre-
sident may find himself obliged to in
tervene for purely sanitary re asons.

Charles r. Flint of New York, the
we'll known exporter, says of new tor
pedo boat which he has under contract
to build for one of the South Anne lean
countries.
This boat could be turned over to the
government within 30 days. should it
be found esirable to acquire Is. She
is designed to make AZ land miles ap
hour. She will be fitted with two en-
gines, each of l 200 horse power and is
20 have twin screws The actual con-
struction of the ships frame has not
yet begun, though the forgings for the
engines, the necessary rapid fire guns
and tho automobile torpedces are
about completed and these represent
more than one-hslf the work to be
done. Mr.. Flint feels satisfied that
with the extraordinary speed to be at
t.ined, the vessel would be of incalcu-
liable be nefit to the navy in time of war.
While he did not make formal Offer
of the vessel to the department., he will
sell if the boat is desired.

James A. Herne's successful play OF
American home life ashore Acres, -
will be the attraction at the opera
house on the 18th of this month. The
public has shown great interest in
this charming pastoral play and it has
received words of praise from all
classes of theatre patrons. Although
it unfolds bu. simple story, and the
people that the author has elected to
tell 1T are plain everyday country
folk, yet the impre ssiOn it makes is
moving aud powerful, aud few can be-
hold the homely self-sscrifce of Uncle
Nat asd not feel the be tier for it.
That one touch of nature that makes
the whole world akin is the keynote
to ashore Acres'' and none can sit
beneath the spell OF the players with
ous becoming imbu d with this feel
ing of universal fellowship. In the
forthcoming prod u tion. Mr.. Herne will
ae ain appear in his artistic portrayal
of Nathaniel Berry, supported by a
company of players which includes all
last seasons favorites. Miss Julie A.

The Simmer Concerts

President Reck hart of the McGinty
club received last evening through
the w. G. WaIz Co., over $50 worth of
the latest and most popular concert
York, for use at the coming summer
concerts. The scores are part for Or
chestra, and part for band.
The band numbers are as follows:
Milloecker's Army Chaplain, grand
selection from Mascsgni's Rustica
Cavaleria, the overture to Mariana
by William Vincent Wallace, LIE Re-
veil Du Leon, the Hopp Hopp Galop,
the Veterans March, Broadway Types,
overture, Un Bal A La Cour, the First
Heatt's Throbs. Loves Dream After
the Ball, the Midnight Alarm, Swed-
ish Welding March, March of the
Dandies.
The orchestral numbers are: Anvil
chorus, sextette from Lucia di Lam
mermoor, qusrtette from Rigolesto,
Auber's overture to Bronze Horse, the
Trout Maudolinata, Selections from
ture to LIS Dame Blanche, Dream Pic
lures, Little Rose Buds-a musical
melange, selections from the Queen g
Lace Handkerchief, overture Huuga-
rian Lltzpiel, Pizzcato Polka, Valse
Lento, Under Den Linden. Ballet
music from Gounod's Faust, Landlich
Sittlich.
The above selections are very good,
and with the valuable band and erches-
trail library already on hand the people
of Ell Paso are sure of a promising and
enjoyable summer season of band and
orchestral music. The band has play
ed Wagner's music considerably the
past winter, aud has succeeded much
better than was expected. With the
Wedding music from LoheDRrio, the
Overtures TO Tanuahauser and R:enzi,
the famous march from the opera of
Tannshauser aud other Wagnsrian
selections mingled with lighter num-
bers, the band will be sure to make q
hit.
Damrosch & Ellis have been giving
German opera-Wagner in the Metro
pOlitan opera hOnse the past winter.
and have succeede beyond all expec.
tations; SO much souin fact that Mau-
rice Grau is'proposing now to unite
his forces with DamrOsch for another
season of Wagneriau opera. New York
is wagner 1crazy' but at the fame
time 1t can be said that wherever,
Sousa, Inr ess: Brooke, Phinney. Fan
ciuli, and other famous bsndsmasters
go they leave al appetite for Wagner
ian music that remains ''for keeps. "
Mr. Reck b art and Prof. PITT or are q ir q
we'll in following this example.
Special credit is due to Prof. Pitzer
for the careful and conscientious at
tention he has given to the band and
orchestra. He is tower of strength
to the musical interests of the Meg inty
club. and the boys appreciate his well
directed efforts.
