WORD FROM THE DETROIT.

Capt. Dayton on the Way to Colon for Coal,
Washington, May 6.-The following
cablegram has been received at the
Navy Department from Capt. Dayton,
Of the cruiser Detroit:
Port Limon, Costa RIGA, May g.
Detroit with minister will proceed
Immediately to Colon for coal.
This is the first cable report the
Navy Department has had from the
commander of the Detroit, with one
exception, since she arrived at Blue
fields. 1t was pl>ded by the Nicara-
guam authorities in answer TO our COM
plants against tampering with the
cablegrams that the wires were unser-
viceable Port Limon is about a days
run from Bluefelds The Detroit will
probably reach Colon by Monday and
return to her station at Bluefelds by
the end of next week. The minister
referred to as being on board is United
STAKES Minister Merry, who came down
to Bluefields from Managua to adjust
the dispute between the American mer-
chants and Gen. Correas, and the fact
that he feels able to leave Bluefields at
this time is taken here as an indica-
ton that no crisis exists there

ROBBED THE BANK.
CrackSmen Take Ten Thousand Dol
lars at Dresden, Ontario.

Dresden, Ont, May 6.-The local
branch of the Canadian Bank of Com
merce was this morning robbed of an
amount estimated at $4,000. The bur-
glars got away without leaving clew.
The charwoman who takes care of the
bank offices was the first to discover
the robbery to-day. The front doors
of the bank had been pried open with
a jimmy. Two holes were bored in the
vault door, a charge of nitro-glycerine
inserted and exploded, and then the
inner safe was attacked in a similar
manner. The second door apparently
yielded as quickly as the first, and the
burglars gathered up the currency and
fed. The inner. safe was quite badly
shattered. None of the papers in the
vault were disturbed.
The manager of the bank says they
did not get more than $4,000. The po-
lice report that the amount of curren-
cy stolen was $4,000, and those who
are in a position to know say this
amount is nearly correct. How the
burglars came to town and how they
left no one knows.

most successful term of the West Side
schools
On the East Side. or Grafton High
School proper, an interesting pro-
gramme was rendered in each room,
all of which was crowded with those
whose children or friends were taking
part in the exercises. Profy Howard
Fleming, the superintendent has done
excellent work. as has also his able
corps of assistants, as the high grade
of the various exercises in each room
eloquently attest The greater number
of the visitors, however, had assembled
to witness the exercises of those of the
upper grades. The programme here
was very highly entertaining consist
ing of songs, recitations and speeches.
1t was thought best by the principal to
have a part of the graduates read their
essays at this time in order to have
shorter programme at the class day
exercises. Those who read Gaeir es-
says were: Miss Ethel Augir, subject,
Common Things Miss Carrie Brown,

land, THE Working of the Mind; Lulu
Leith, Wasted Things; Miss Ada
Rose, EVIL Communicates Corrupt
Good Manners; Miss Nellie Maxwell,
Fault Finding; Miss Louis Rogers,
Want of Occupation.
These essays were all well written and
we'll read and merited the many COM
pliments which they received. Assist
ant Principal Goodwin entertained the
audience with an exhibition drill in
the manual OF arms by his high school
cadet corps While the boys were poor
ly equipped in the way Of guns, hav-
ing a varied assortment-shotg guns, toy
guns, squirrel rifles, Springields, Win
chesters, Remingtons, &c.,-yet they
were quite proficient and but few err
rors occurred.

consul at Samoa made a demand on this
government for G25,000, the claims be-
ing for debts contracted by Tongans
to German traders. Some Of the ac-
counts are thirty years old. After con-
sideration the government repudiated
these claims. The consul notified the
premier that unless the full amount
was paid, Germany would send a large
war vessel to seize Vauvau, which con-
tains splendid harbor On March Z
the British warship Tauranga arrived

King George Tubou Ii. 1t is said that
the king was notified that Great Brit

but did not propose to let her take

SO offered to pay the claims and protect
these little islands that Germany is so
eager to acquire.

at this time to annex the islands, COM

Ger which the towering tree tops lean,
With one blue rift of sky between,
And there two thousand years ago.

Swayed in the silence 10 and fro.
Day after day with longing eye
The ffoweret waTche the narrow sky
And fieecy clouds that fioated by.
And through the darkness. night by night
One cleaning star would climb the height.
And cheer the lonely howeret's sight,
Thus, watching the blue heavens afar.
And the rising OF its fayorste star
A slow change came. but not TO mar;
For softly DER the petals white
There crept a bluSness IKE the light
OF skies upon a summer night;
And in its chaiice I am told
The bonny bell was found to hold

Are loved on every foreign strand

FRA DIAvoLO TO NIGHT.

The most difficult part in operate
repertoire for the prima donna Is Ter
lima in Fra Diavolo. Not musically,
but artistically. 1t is part that must

ardous enough to destroy the entire
performance. Miss Stanton has the
reputation of playing the disrobing
scene, a most delicate situation, in a
manner that leaves nothing but the
sweetest memories. There is n vein of
womanliness in the performance that
appeals to the nobler instincts of an
audience. The music allotted to tn,
role Is exceptionally fine, and will, un-
doubtedly create sensation.
