FRA DIAvOLO PLEASED ALL

A much smaller audience than the pro-
duction deserved greeted the Boston Lyrics
last evening.
Miss Stanton has the principal part and
covered herself with laurels again. The
disrobing scene in the second acf while it
caused In the beginning a certain un-
easiness among the audience generally,
was so prettiy and modestly done as to
allay all thought of vulgarlsm. The
finale in this act was the best rendered Of
all the pretty music and the performers
were twice encored.
Fra Diavolo as played BY Mr.. Hallan1
was exceeding well done although in the
"Serenade" In the second act the high
falsetto notes might just as well have
been omitted. They gave the appearance
of straining the voice. :,
The parts of Beppo and Giacomo by
Messrs kunkel and Rockwell were anus
ing and we'll played there being nothing
done to produce a laugh not consistent
with the parts portrayed.
| The costuming and music were excel
lent and the choruses beautifully drilled.
Tomorrow night "Martha" with Mis-
Nellie Andrews In the title role will b,
the production which If II is as well en-
acted as was the play last evening SHOULD
draw large attendance.

SAD DAY FOR BRITON.

after a strong counter attack on our
right, the infantry brigade and cavalry
had been repulsed, the troops were
slowly withdrawn from camp, pickets
being left on observation. Late In the
engagement the naval contingent un-

erful came into action and silenced,
with their extremely accurate fire, the
enemy's guns of position.
THE circumstances which attended
the movement of Lieutenant Colonel
Cartons column are not yet fliiY
known, but from reports received the
column appears to have carried out the
night march unmolested until within
two miles of Nicholson's Mex. At this
point big boulders rolled from the hill
and few rifle shots stampeded the
military ammunition mules.
1.-THE stampede spread to the battery
mules, which broke loose from their
leaders and got away with practically
the whole Of the gun equipment and
the greater portion of the regimental
small arm ammunition.
THE reserve was similarly lost.
1.-THE infantry battalions, however
fixed bayonets and accompanied by the
personnel of the artillery, seized hill
ON the left of the ford two miles from
the Mex with but little opposition
There they remained unmOlested unit

mishing attack on our position wa
commenced by the enemy, but made m
way until $3.50 a. m, when reinforce
ments enabled them to rush to the at
tack with great energy.
Their fire became very searchin
and two companies of the Gloucester
in an advanced position, were ordere
to fall back. The enemy then presse
to short range, the losses on our Sid
becoming very numerous.
AT p. m. our ammunition wa
