young actress whom T. Daniel Frawley

who comes to the Columbia next week for
a special engagement as Drusilla Ives in

The. great hit of the performance, however,

She played the Russian Countess, the leader OF
the Diamond Gang, and her accent was in itself
delight. Miss Bates is find She has

After a phenomenal success in Gotham
Miss Maude Adams and company began a
tour Monday and are now being greeted by
magnificent audiences in Boston. 1t is not
too much to say that the production of
Romeo and Juliet" has aroused unlimited
interest among literatists and dramatic
scholars, and although the advance sale of
tickets has as yet failed to test the capac-

antee that the audience greeting Miss Ad-

The COmmissnrint.
THE service of the quartermaster's and
subsistence departments, under the gem
eral supervision of their respective chiefs
at these headquarters, was. Immediately
after the fighting commenced, placed in the
hands of regimental commanders. who
were required to open communication with
their city quarters and thereafter main
tain a line of supplies between these
points and their front The complete sue
cess of this arrangement, and the salts
factory results attained Hereunder. are
set forth in most gratifying detail in the
admirable reports of the chief quarter
master and chief commissary OF the di-
vision.
The service of the subsistence depart
ment has been exceptionally good in
every respect, and has attracted the IA
vorable attention of everybody informed
in the premises, including many foreign
officers who have visited the lines. The
supply Of American soldiers engaged i'll
active field operations on these distant
shores, with choice fresh beef from Aus
tralia, the very best quality of fresh veg
etables from the United States, and con-
densed water together with all ether
parts of the ration in abundant quantity
and good quality. is certainly a just cause
for warm congratulations TO al con-
cerned. Especial attention is invited to
the remarks of the chief quartermaster in
respect OF the employment of coolies for
the purpose of transportation. in the event
of prolonged struggle in these islands.
THE punishment inflicted by the divi-
sion may be estimated from the fact that
official report has been made of the actual
burial of 374 insurgents, killed in action
during the month. The enemys wounded
were as general rule successfully re-
moved, so that it is impossible TO speak

is assumed that three wounded to one kill
