other woman. The lamp broke, the oil
spread and in few seconds the building

caused by the same woman, who threw
a lamp at man with whom she had a

very interesting situations, and there is
no doubt, from its reception last even

The play deals with the plot concocted
by the Spaniards in Havana to destroy
the United states battleship Maine, and

discovery of the conspiracy, the results
which naturally followed, and last, but
not least, there is a very realistic por-
trayal of the fall of Santiago. after

a subject which has a tendency tn

kept well within bounds.
