II GREAT PLAY-

THE Moth and the Flame" which
Herbert Kelcey and E1fie Shannon
present at the Opera House on Tuesday
night, is one of the small number Of
American dramas one can be forgiven,
even an undignified, patriotic enthu-
siasm over. The play is based upon
the theme that love rules the world,
and love rules the play. Character as
moulded and developed by the inhu-
ence of love in the world and so are
Mr.. Fitch's characters I'm this play. The
interest is absorbing during the entire
action. The climaXes are intense and
thrilling, and the raillery and retort
brilliant. In THE Moth and the
Flame Mr. Kelley and Miss shannon
have been fitted with characters which
bring into play their best efforts and
reveal them both as artists of force and
finish. 1t is an intensely interesting
high-class drama which reveals some
thing of the private life and social en-
vironment of New York's ultra-fash-
ionable society. The childrens party
given by adults at the residence of a
society leader, with which the play
opens, is of itself a revelation of the
frivohties INDUCED I'm by the Smart
ANtf anu ala aNAA MNlAa lAt AlALAUI uI
TO nature in q manner which is as
truthful and realistic as it Is highly
interesting and entertaining There is
more or less comedy in the play. but
tragedy also plays a part and two Of
the strongest situations of the piece
are the climaXes at the close of the
first and second acts, one revealing a
suicide in high life, and the other, the
denunciation of an aristocratic scoun-
drel at a swell society church wedding
The cast includes a score of characters
and the company is virtually the same
as that which has heretofore been seen
in the play i'm all the principal cities
for the past two years. and during it's
New York engagement of 125 nights at
Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatre.
"Ihe Moth and the Flame" ranks
among the most notable of American
successes, and its attraotiveness last
season equalled that OF "The Chris
tian' and "rhe Little Minister"

Portions OF the dispatch which have

Manila, May 19.-Two Spanish pris-
oners who have just arrived here from
Neueva Ecika say Aguinaldo has lost
prestige with the rebel army, which
is described as being completely de-
moralized. short of food, suffering from
disease and afraid of the Americans
and rapidly dissolving into bands Of
pillagers. The prisoners add that Gems.
Pillar and Luna are the only influential
Filipinos who are continuing resistance
to the Americans.
The Chinese are being victimized
everywhere by both rebels and looters.
Buencamino, prominent Filipino
leader (who was friendly to Spain and
joined in the compromise arrangement
whereby the Spaniards hoped to con-
ciliate the rebel leaders without sacri-
ficing too nuch), is reported as saying
Aguinaldo sits indoors crying, blames
himself for the miserable condition of
the country and is afraid to surrender.
Col. French, with the Twenty-second
infantry, was sent down the river three
miles from San Isidro by Gen. Lawton
Friday, where he met the enemy, driv-
ing them out with the loss of four Amer
leans. Maj. Kobbe, with the Seven
teenth and Ninth regiments, is ex-
pected to meet Col. French at 'Arayat.
The Rio Grande will then be clear of in
surgents.

NO HOPE OF SETTLEMENT.
strikers st Buffalo Take Action
which Makes End OF Trouble
stiII More Remote.

Buffalo, n. Y, May 20.-The grain
shovelers Friday night adopted rcsolu-
tions repudiating all agreements made
with the Lake Carriers association and
demanding the unequivocal abrogation
of the contract with Mr.. Corners. The
striking freight handlers at their meet
ing voted TO ignore the advice of Bishop
Quigley. in which he urged them to re-
turn TO work under the terms granted
by the associated lake lines. The ac-
ton taken at these two meetings, IL Is
thought, will end for some time TO come
the negotiations which have been in
progress for over two weeks to bring
about n settlement OF the dock trou-
bles. The grain shovelers will refuse
TO make any further proposition to
either the lake carriers or to the con-
tractor, and as the lake carriers some
DAYS ego decided to withdraw from the
conflict the indications are that the
strike will be permitted to wear itself
out.

VIII Found In n Fish Net.

While fishing off Carlingford Tough,
on the Irish coast, recently, the trawler
Bournemouth, of Milford Haven,
dredged up in a net bundle of papers
sealed and tied with red tape, and per-
fectly intact. The skipper brought
them to port, and handed them to a
