WASHINGTON, May 26 Secretary Of
the Navy Long was at the White
House twice during the morning to sec
the president, spending only a few
minutes each time. On leaving the
second time he made the important an.
nouncement of the safe arrival OF the
battleship Oregon at Jupiter inlet, Fla,
about midnight. At the same time,
Secretary Long, while expressly stating
that no official advlces had been re.

TO believe that was the case. There

Secretary Longs statement that there
was every reason to believe it. was
supplemented by the President,
who to congressional callers said that
it was undoubtedly true. Secretary
Long had brief talk with tho presi.

anticipated by previous announcements
of her safety. Commodore Schley .
catching up with the Cervera fleet was
n source Of much congratulation. for
in the conferences that took place in
the White house there was feeling
that this brought the end OF the war
much nearer. Asked as to the possi-
bihty of ruse Of some sort arising
from Admiral Cervera's deliberately
entering the harbor under the clrcum'
stances, Secretary Long said the pur'
noses Of the Spaniards could be only
coniectured, but that it might be they

ARABIAN NIGHTS.
Big Audience Takes In the Fine Farce
Comedy.

All the shivers, the Nightmares and
distorted nerves left by Oliver Twist,
Saturday night, have been wiped away
and the Mckee Rankin Company is
forgiven. 1t is said the company
didn't mean it, in the first place. it
was simply case of not knowing the
audience and the audience not being
sufficiently acquainted with Oliver.
Last evening Sydney Grundy's three
act farce comedy, arabian Nights"
was presented. This is delightful
sketch, one certain to please anywhere
and at any time if well staged Eve
ny man, woman and child in the audi
ence has seen il before or should have
done so. 1t has been popular on the
American circuits for years, and the
Frawley CompanN staged it here at
the time of their First visit.
The principals in the play were l..
Il. Stockwell, as Arthur Humming-
top, and Mrs. Horace McNicker, as
Mrs. Gillibrand. The work of the for
mer was without fault and the latter
was immensely pleasing as the engag-
ing and always welcome mother-in-
law. Nance O'Neil appeared as Rosa
Colombier. Her WORK was finished,
though difficult. Herbert Carr inter
preted Ralph Ormerod, and Miss Ger
trude Foster was immense as Mrs.
Hummingtop. Miss McNicller as Bar
bara was not at her best.
The first and second acts of the COM
edy kept the house in a roar. 1t was
there that Mr.. Stockwell appeared to
the best advantage The last act fell
little fiat. altogether the play may
be regarded as a success
