Sulu archipelago is a group OF 15c small
islands extending in the form of crescent

the islands consists of aborigines, Chinese

OF Manila The number of men, IL each or
ganization were up to its maximum
strength, would be $500, but 1t is doubtful
if their strength totals 1000 men. Mac
Arthurs troops, except one regiment, are
volunteers. All Of Kobbe's men are regu-
lars recently arrived. Three of the six regi-
ments under Iawton also are regulars.
There Is ore radical difference between the
volunteer and regular organizations. Losses
in the former are permanent, while the

TOPEKA, Kan, May 1s.-Ex-Unit

Of the Populist party. and who was for
years considered the chief exponent of Pop

Apparent settlement of many Of the ques>

change in the political attitude Of Senator
PETER. He said to-day: Il have always
been Republican except on one main ques-
tion-the money question. That seems to
have settled itself apparently now. The Pop
ulis. party has been eliminated nationally
by the Democrats. so those of us who don't
want to flop by ourselves will have to vote
our convictions as best we can. The old
Simon-pure alliance man who left the Re-
publican party never was beaded for the
Democracy, and he is not now"

full presentation of the comedy-drama
David Garrick" than was put on at
the Opera House last night by the
Maggie Moore-H. r. Roberts Company
could not be desired
1t was the first time the play had
ever been staged in Honolulu. Its
theme is a love match of David Gar
rick, who scored his histrionic tri-
umphs years and years ago and whose
name occupies the foremost place on
the roll of English actors. He becomes
enamored of the possessor of a pair of
black eyes which inspire him as he
plays his part. The young lady I'M
known to the actor returns the affec-
ton, much to the disgust of her ia
ther, merchant prince. The old gen.
knowing who the young lady is, con-
sents to act in such a manner that her
love will cease. This he does at a din
ner party, where he acts the drunken
roisterer. In the end the whole scheme
is revealed, all things are righted, and
the curtain falls with the lady fair in
the arms of David Garrick.
In the title role Roberts surprised
even his strongest admirers He lived
the part. In the scene where he gives
his promise to the old merchant he is
the naughty, satirical and proud gen
tleman. His drunken revelry is real
IN
of over-acting. In his scene with Ada
he is tender and loving, yet willing to
forego his future happiness for honor's
sake Throughout all was the artists

the rich merchants daughter, was both
