many Spanish OPS were killed OF

NEW YORK, April 3O.-A special to
the Evening Journal states that Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS flagship, the cruis-
er New York, shelled and reduced the
fortifications at the port OF Cabapas,
36 miles west of Havana. The forts
fired upon the torpedo boats Ericscn
and Porter, who where engaged in
reconnaissance work, and the bombard-
ment was an act of reprisal. 1t took
only fifteen minutes to turn the land
batteries into scattered mass of de-
bris.

likely to be true than the one first
sent. The town of Cabanas is on the
Pto de Cambanas, about 36 miles west
of Havana as stated in the dispatch
Mariel lies 16 miles nearer Havana on
ihe coast. The Americans have thus,
it seems, reduced the fortiications

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The presi-

public officials there are in suspense
eagerly awaiting news of the capture
t Mantle. tn capital of the Philippine
islands, by the Asiasic fleet under
Comodore Dewey.
, 1t is calculated that the looked for
event must happen sometime today.
The administration has no definite in
formation. but is basing it's calcula-
tions upon the opinion reached by the
naval strategic board that Commodore
Dewey's squadron would probably
reach the vicinity of Manila sometime
between sunrise aud sunset on Satur-
day.
If a conflict occurs the first news
will probably come by way of Hong
Kong. 1t will go at once to the White
House where room has been fitted
up for the especial use of the president
and his war council. Up to this after
noon nothing had been heard from
Dewey's squadron.
Mingled ith the assurances of GER
tain victory for our feet in the Philip
pines there is the apprehension that
grave diplomatic troubles may be in
store for our government. It is strong
ly intimated that Germany and pos
sibly France, will protest against the
seizure of the Philippines on the di-
plomatic ground that Cuba alone can
be considered proper ''bone of con-
tion.'
If a protest comes from
any foreign source against

The Boston run of Charles L. Blaney's
"A Female Drummer" which will open
Monday evening at the Lafayette Square

cess of this latest musical comedy. The
story of the play deals with the troubles
of two old proprietors of department
store and the planning of a clever lady
of the road to dispose of her large stock
of corsets and stockings to the greatest
benefit for her firm. This is brought out
by a clever ruse in which the dry goods
merchants are made unwilling assist
ants. The farce is in three acts. the
scenes representing the. business offices
of the firm: the interior of the depart
ment store with bargain day sale in
progress and Palisade Heights on the
Hudson. The cast to be seen includes

Eugene Garfield, Tony Williams, Willis
