IL TRovAroRE.
To Be Presented at the Duncan opera
House, Las Vegas.

'Il Trovatore," for many years @ ul-
seppe Verdi's masterpiece. will be the
bill in which the Iambsrdi Italian
Grand Opera Company will make it's
initial appearance before the Las We
gss public. "II Troystore," produced
first in Rome in 1858. and greeted at
once with most. enthusiastic welcome,
has held the stage ever since as one OF
the most popular operas in the modern
repertoire. Liberally enriched with
beautiful melodies, highly dramatic
through out, npon it Verdi lavished his
musical skill with marvellous effect, and
the last act has always successfully
challenged comparison with any other
opera in the purely Italian school,
For some inexplicable reason it has
been relegated, in recent years, to "off
nights" those evenings 10 an operate.
season when the leading principals
were resting and the secondary singers
in company assumed the leading
roles. For this reason, few of the
younger generation have ever heard
"ll Trovat0re" sung with anything like
justice, and most of the older opera
goers have but an indistinct recoilec-
tion of the time when the great names
in operate annals were found opposite
the roles of Leonora, Azucena, Manrico
and tho Tonfa III Lima
With the Lambardi company all this
is changed. all Trovatore" is enjoying
a renaissance and the music loving
public is getting the benefit wherever
it is produced by these great singers
from the land where 1t was written, the
see nes of which it treats. They sing
it con amore, with fire, fervor
a convincing intensity such as 1t has
not received in several decades. In |
the hands of Signora Barducci, dramat-
ic soprapo, Signorina Pollettini, mezzD1
soprano, Signors Sadaracco, tenor, aud |
Bugamelli, baritone, the four principal |
characters live again and enact the
scenes of love, intrigue, jealousy and |
despair upon which the action of the
opera rests, new possibilities are re.
vealed, forgotten beauties are recalled |
and the great trio in the first act, the |
Anvil Chorus, the Prison scene, and all |
the solos and concerted numbers are
superbly interpreted by these really n
great artists, each of whom combines |
youth, freshness, spontaneity, and |
earnestness, with wonderful vocal en-.
dowment. BY them "Il Trovatore" Is |
made to express what the composer |
meant it should. More could not be |
said in its favor. 1t is bill that should |
pack the house on the opening night, |
and 1t probably will, for Las Vegas |
knows good thing and is not slow to
the fact when the oppoI-
tunity presents itself.

MANILA, August 21.-The Filipino
rebels appear to retain much more
fighting spirit than might be expected
after their recent San Fernando ex-
periences and General Lawton's drub
biDgs in the south. After giving up
San Fernando with a feeble struggle
they entrenced themselves at Angeles,
impressing non-combatants into the
work and thus saving armed men for
fighting. They engaged Lieutenant
Colonel Smiths regiment and artillery
warmly for four hours, making one of
the most stubborn resistances of the
campaign. But the Americans are in
debted to the usual poor marksman-
ship of the Filipinos as we'll as to their
own strategy for small losses.
In Csvite, where it was supposed the
rebels had been demorallzed be-
yOnd recuperation, there has assembled
an army of several thousand men, dis
tributed among important towns from
the lake TO the bay.
After he San Fernando engagement
the rebels attempted to deter Ameri-
cans from further advance northward
by menacing railroad communications
Several hundred of General Pic del III
lars men crossed the Rio Grande be-
tween the American outpost towns and
threatened Baliuig, Quingut and other
places with small American garrisons,
while during Sunday and Monday
nights smaller bands tried to tear up
the railroad tracks at several points be-
tween Bigaa and Mololos. Reinforce
ments of American troops, however,
were sent along the railroad from Ma
Mia to San Fernando, while the forces
at Baliuig and Quingut sailed out

Taxes For This Year.

The board of county commissioners
will meet next Thursday. They have
been waiting for certain school districts
in the county to report IN order to
make the general county distribution of
taxes. On receipt of these reports the
commissioners will be enabled then to
make the totallevy. as the distribution
for territorial purposes has been re-

PROCEEDINGS DREYFUS TRIAL
Mercier- Called Upon to Explain
a Thing or Two by
Ldborl.

RENNEs. August 22.-Msitre Labori
who was murderonsly assaulted August
II. was in court this morning to attend
the trial by court martial of Captain
DreYfus, charged with treason. TIC
hundreds of inquiring friends he said
81 am getting on WELL"
AS Labori, accompanied by Mn. La
bori and his physician entered the court
room the audience greeted him by
standing up. There was roar of ap-
plause accompanied by the clappiGg of
hands Colonel Jouaust read an ad-
dress to Labor, the tone being quite
sympathetic. lie delivered reply.
The effort considerably fatIgued him.
The first witness today was M. Gre
nier former prefect Of Belfort. His
testimony was favorable to Dreyfus
and hostile to Esterhazy.
NJ. Ferret, former secretary of the
war Office, next testified to seeing Drey-
fus prying into other officers work
during their absence. The prisoner re-
piled excltedly that Ferret's statements
were concoctions of former minister
OF war, which caused a sensation.
Major Rollin of the intelligence de-
partment was asked by Labor during
the formers testimony how a certain
document of later date than Mercier's
ministry came into Mercief's possession.
Rollin said it was not his business to
explain.
Labor asked Colonel Jouaust to re-
quest General Mercier to explain. The
general declined TO answer.
Major Carriere, government commits
cary, supported him on The ground that
the examination was entering upon
matter whith ought not, ia the interest
of the country, be discussed publicly.
Labori declared in loud voice that |
lie would reserve to himself the right to |
take necessary measures 10 obtain the |
desired Information.
Major Roliin had remarked that all
prisoners papers were seized when his
rooms were searched in 1894 ard Col
onel Jouaust said certain papers from
his text. book, "School of War" were
found missing. To this the prisoner
ratorted: "Not in 1894, my colonel"
This causeu seusation, as the OBJ
vious Interpretation was that the pages
were torn ont at the war Office and the
fact used against him as an insinua-
ton that he had communicated the
missing pages TO foreign agents.
The next witness was Lieutenant
Colonel Berrin, the head of Dreyfus'
Office in 1891, who showed himself a
most virulent enemy of the prisoner.
He said he vas convinced of Dreyfus
guilt by BertillOn's chart and his intro
duction of EsterhaZy's statements
against Dreyfus elected general smiles.
After hearing the deposition of NJ.
Gendron and O number of minor Off
GERS who did not give any interesting
evidence, court adjourned for the day
at l0A5 a. m.
