On Saturday night the Boston La
dies Symphony Orchestra, compos-
ed of twenty young ladies, under the
direction of Mr.. Frank w. Mckee
rendered one of the finest programs
of high-class music ever heard in
this city. The orchestra proved to
be a superb organization, and those
present enjoyed an unusual treat and
one that will not soon be forgotten
The program embraced, besides Sc
lections by the orchestra, a cornet
solo by Miss Burroughs, violin solo
by Miss Beaman and a soprano solo
by Miss Logan, all of which were
rendered in most exquisite manner
The only criticism was the lack of
accommodations afforded by the
hall for the splendid audience. The
lecture course committee has pre-
sented many of the best entertain
ments, with which this community
has been favored, but not one of
them merited more commentator
than this splendid musical feast.

It is rumored that the Governor-Gen-
eral Of Porto Rico has issued a procla-
nation saying eight soldiers were killed
and thirty-four were wounded as a re-
suit of the bombardment of the forts at
San Juan by portion of Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet on May 18th. He adds
that two guns were dismounted at Nor
70 Castle, which otherwise was very
little damaged. He also says the other
forts were not much hurt. In the town
one shot, it is alleged penetrated the
place, and the corner of a powder-house
was carried away. No school children
were killed. The transport Alfonso
XIII. and the Spanish steamer Manuela
were damaged by the American fire.
The Spaniards, as usual, claim they
won a victory, basing this assertion
upon the fact that the American war
ships departed under fire. But the ref
ugees say the city of San Juan is still
terrorized, the inhabitants being in
hourly fear of the temperance Of the
American fleet and a repetition OF the
bombardment. Therefore people are
camping in the country out of range of
the American guns.
