OF A LATE PATTERN.
The Mausers Were Struggled Tn to the
Insurgents.


Washington, Feb. 7.-Secretary Alger
was asked to-day if he had sent or was
about to send any instructions to Cen
eral Otis based on yesterdays devel-
opments, which We're taken in some
quarters as charging his field of ac-
ton. The secretary replied:
No, sir: it does not appear that
General Otis is in need of instructions
of any character just now"
The president, as well as Secretary
Alger, has unlimited confidence in Gen
eral Otis. The character of the arms
carried by the insurgents as set out in
General Otis cablegram this morning
caused a mild sensation among army
officers. None of them cared to be
quoted in comment upon the state
ments made by General Otis, but one
expert declared that so far as he was
informed the latest pattern of Maus-
ers that the Spanish troops in Manila.
had We're dated as far back as 1896,
while the pattern described in the ca
blegram was right up to date, seeming
to indicate that they had not been OBJ
tanned by capture from the Spanish,
but from some other source. Under in
ternational law citizens of neutral
states may sell arms to insurgents at
the risks of having them captured as
contraband on the way to delivery and
these arms must have been smuggled
from some of the Asiatic ports recently
However, as Otis and Dewey undoubt-
edly have taken steps to cut off the
future supply of ammunition, these
arms soon will be much less valuable.

toll Gate Inn," Story Of Vermont
in I777.

A beautiful love story, told and en-.
acted by plain country people such is
Toll Gate Inn" The life story OF
the characters is what evolved the
plot; they are all part and parcel OF
it: and all are native to the section
and period i'm which the scenes are
laid; the Green Mountains OF Yer
mont in liz and at the time of the
battle of Bennington. There is Il mill
tary background to this simple puritan
tale: the miltariSm of the heroic Green
Mountain boys, whose daring exploits
were such an important figure i'm the
| battle of Bennington in the cause of
American Independence. Among the
many characters there is at least one
which must be regarded as new to the
stage. This one is Poatchie. the half
breed. He has all the cunning of the
Indian, the diplomacy of the French
man Che is of French descenD and the
chivalrouS rOmanticSm of the settlers
of the early days. He is feared and
Stunned by all in the Maple Valley.
the scene of action of the first act.
He is gambler and a desperate. He
is a man of strong likes and dislikes.
When he likes he likes with his whole
nature, and when he hates he hates
the same way. Antagonized by all
except the Penningtons. He naturally
formed a very strong attachment for
them. BY chance he overheard Capt.
Smell and Squire Dewitt formulating
a plot by which young Pennington his
friend would be hanged as a spy.
Dewitt is a tory and Smell is spy in
the service of King George Ill, but
serving ostensibly as captain in the
Confidential army.
Smells plan is to forge Benedict
Arnold's name to a message purport-
ing to have been sent by Arnold to
Maitland's headquarters, informing
Maitland that Pennington is a spy.
Poatchie informs Pennington father
of this, and to stop Smell from carrying
this plan into effect, he proposes that
they drug Smell and they do SO. This
half breed is closely woven into the
body of the plot, and is a delightful
drawing of new character. The
scenery for "Toll Gate Inn" is beauti-
full and in exact reproduction of the
actual scenes. The cOstuming is his
torically correct, a veritable star cast
