sEcoNp, NIGHT A SUCCESS.
Blue Lodges Attend fhs Naval Lodge


Blue Lodge night at the Naval Lodge
bazaar last evening brought out many
visiting members Of the various lodges
CT the fraternity; in all parts OF the city
and gave an added impulse to the affair.
which gives every assurance of success.
The merrymakfng began earlier than on
the opening occasion and the enthusiasm
and enjoyment reached its height earlier
in the evening TO continue until midnight
On the initial evening the formal exer-
cises attending the inauguration of the
bazaar consumed considerable time, but
,, none was lost in this manner last night
The members of the blue lodges arrived
early and were cordially received by the
large crowd which had already assembled
The entertainment was begun at O'Clock.
A change of programme. including some
| cleverly executed features, was given. The
opening number was a character sketch
entitled, "A Pair Of Lunatics.' Edward
E. Muth assumed the role of Jacob Field
ing and Miss Bessie S. Stewart was an
! admirable Clara Manners. A monologue
was given by Charles F. Purdy. and Miss
Elsie Worth sang several up-to-date coon
songs, including rendition Of when You
Haven't Any Money, Well. You Needn't
Come Around" la May Irwin. AS an
encore she gave'..I happened to Be There"
one of Eddie Foy's topical hits. These
programmes are given on the stage - the
Japanese arbored garden on the third floor,
/ and will be entirely different every even
ing.
The patrioticaliy decorated Dewey Par
lors, on the third floor, continue to offer
| pleasant hooks where those who have con-
tracted the ice cream habit may indulge
their fancy. These rooms are draped in
red, white, and blue bunting and the
mattresses are attired in costumes of like
color. A number of parlors on the second
+, floor, set apart for smokers. are also cen
| tres of attraction for the men. The exhibit
! of Naval Lodge. in the banquet hall on the
! third floor embraces concise and graphic
! account of the war with Spain, illustrated
with comprehensive set of stereopticon
! views. These are reproductions Of photo
| graphs taken in Cuba and Porto Rico dur
ing the progress of hostilities.
| The board of control having charge of
the fair has arranged various nights for
visits from the different lodges and COM
manderies in the District. Tonight is open.
| The Order of the Eastern Star will attend
| in body tomorrow evening. Members of
the Royal Arch chapters will be guests OF
! honor Friday. and on Saturday the bazaar
| VIII be thrown open to the members of
J Justin A. Rathbone Commandery of the
Knights of Pythias. The second week of
the affair will be opened Monday evening
with visit by Orient Commandery and
promises to be a gala night. The COM
mandery viii assemble at Masonic Hall, at
the corner OF Ninth and F Streets north
west early in the evening and march to

! a band. The Knights of Malta and the

The Question Seriously Considered
by the Cabinet.

by the Cabinet.
President Mckinley and his Cabinet
considered the military situation in the
Philippines at their regular meeting yes
terday. A map of the scene of operations
around Calumpit was placed on the long
table in the Cabinet room and this was
studied in the light of the information
contained in the dispatch received from
General Otis yesterday morning.
This subject brought up the question of
enlisting the provisional volunteer army
OF $4,000 men authorized by the terms Of
the Army Reorganization art. The Presi-
dent and Secretary Alger have been op-
posed to organizing this provisional force,
but it was apparent from the trend of the
discussion yesterday that they might
change their minds. Great pressure is b.
ing brought to bear upon the President
and Cabinet officers in favor OF carrying
cut the authority conveyed by the act.
Many CT the volunteer regiments recently
mustered out and anxious to re-enter the
Federal service. and ths officers of tn Sc
regiments are making every effort to in
fiuence the Administration in adopting
their views.
Reference to this pressure was made at
the meeting in connection with the prcb-
lem of furnishing re-enforcements for the
Philippines without reducing below the
safety point the military forces in Cuba.
Porto Rico, and the United States. Presi-
dent Mckinley is reported to have said
that should it become necessary he would
send all the regulars now in the United
States 10 the Philippines and organize a
volunteer force sufficient to take their
places. No decision in the matter was
reached.
The War Department has known for a
week the plan of campaign which is now
being carried out by the divisions of Mac
Arthur and Lawton. For reasons of policy
the department declines to tell any details
of this plan, but it is apparent that Law
ton is endeayoring to get between Calurl-
| pit and the foothills before Aguinaldo's S
| forces can escape to the safety afforded by
the mountains. Lawton is making a wide
detour with his column, presumably for
the purpose Of getting well in toward the
mountainous country before the Filipinos
realize his object. Should he succeed in
| carrying out this plan the rebels will be
caught between the two columns. and in
the opinion of army officers the annihila-
tion or surrender of the enemy is sure to
follow. =
