...AMUSEMENTS...

One of the most successful amateur pro-
ductions of the season was given by the
Creighton Dramatic circle in the hall of
the university last night. The fine old
comedy, The Heir-at- Law" received as
conscientious treatment at the hands of the
students as it has many times on more ample
stages from more pretentious actors. The
mounting of the piece showed considerable
pains and expense and the costumes were
very tastefully designed. An important
part of the entertainment was the music,
in charge of the university orchestra. The
young musicians had been carefully trained
and filled in the intermissions very accept
ably A solo by Prof. Albin Hustler, accom-
panied by Thomas j. Kelly, was received
with especial favor.
The familiar part of DR.. Pangloss, the
erudite pedagogue was taken by Daniel
j. Hurley in a professional manner. Ac-
eording to the demands of the plot it Is the
doctors duty to Instruct first a boorish
tradesman suddenly elevated to high es-
tate and later his son, young man of vi
olent impulses. The tradesman was repre-
sented by Matthew p. Gleeson, who threw
all the requisite spirit into his work The
son was depicted with considerable vigor by
Guy V. Furay. Paul l.. Martin, as Ezekiel

part of Edwin Dormer was taken gracefully
by Michael J. O'Hern. The others in the
cast were David A. Murphy, Edward F.
Leary, James e. Woodward, Andrew NJ.
Flynn, Edward A. Creighton, Henry NJ.
Fitzgibbon and Clement j. Lee, the latter a
clever juvenile.
The auditorium, holding about 500 people,
was unccmfortably well filled and the pur-
pose of the entertainment, to furnish funds
for the library and reading room, was
abundantly served. The Dramatic circle,
which is in a fiourishng condition, is ac-
complishing much in the opinion of the
faculty, toward training the members for
public speaking and in various desirable
qualities. The officers for the present term
are President, Daniel j. Hurley; vice pres
ident David A. Murphy; secretary. Mat

Findings of COurts-MartiaI at Ma
Mia Forwarded to Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. q. A report
from Gen. Otis gives details of the court
martial proceedings in a number of ca SEES
In one case three officers of the Spanish
army, in charge of the preside of Ma
Mia, were accused of embezzIement of
large amounts. The commandment Of the
preside, Carlos Aymerich, was acquitted
but Capt. Horita was found guilty of
embezzling $10,4SS, and Adjt Ruis was
found guilty of embezzling a like amount
They were sentenced to confinement at
hard labor for three years, but Gen. Otis
reduced the sentence to six months. ow-
ing to the confinement they had already
served.
One of the Spanish prisoners of war.
Rafael Albert, was convicted of brutaIly
numbering another soldier and sentenced
to be hanged, but the sentence was disap-
proved On technical grounds by the all-
thoriues at Washington, and the Span
lsh soldier continues to be held a pris-
oner of war.
one OF the court-martial cases shows
the acQulttal of an American volunteer
officer and several soldiers on the charge
OF having rooted a house at Hello. In
another case q Filipino native was found
guilty of killing Chinaman and SEN
fenced to be hanged, but Gen. Otis dis
approved the finding.
Gen. Otis, in general orders, directs
that the troops give particular attention
to the furnishing of all protection to lives
and property of all German inhabitants
OF the island. As the consul of Germany
is looking to the security of Swiss, Itai-
ian, Austrian and Portuguese inhabit-
ants, injunction was given to furnish
similar protection to these people
