A MINUTES SOCIAL CHAT.

1t is doubtful If any matinee performance
of the winter has brought together so fash
ionable an audience as that which paid
tribute to the young Baltimorians yesIer-
day afternoon. The Lafayette Opera House
was filled with men and women of official
and social prominence, who applauded ev-
cry dance and tableau that made up the
pretty pantomme of die Puppenfee."
Hundreds of children were present and a
number of Baltmorians who had come
over with the company were scattered
through the orchestra and boxes and
doubtless were made triumphantly happy
at the ovation the performers received.
The fairy doll (Puppenfee) was impersonat-
ed by little Miss Maud Emery, who gave
a very graceful ballet solo and did wonder
full Things with her magic wand The
German toymaker who owned the shop
where the various puppets were on sale
showed off his dolls to a very superflne
patron, who came with his family to make
purchase, and the transaction between
proprietor and patron gave the audience an
opportunity of witnessing one of the finest
amateur performances of the year. In ad-
dition to the dancing baby, the lapa-
mamma doll the pugilistic clowns, and
mechanical jack box. there were
beautiful live young ladies and gallant
young gentlemen. who danced and made
graceful tableaux of themselves; bouquet
of exquisitely dainty flower girls, a COM
pany of miniature soldiers. who went
through a drill with a martial fire calcu-
lated to teach thing or two 10 the dolls OF
all nations grouped around, and an ire
sponsible yellow kid. who gave dash of
humorous color to the second act. 1t was
a pretty performance, cleveriy acted, and
the young artists from the Monumental
City are going to receive another such
welcome when they come again.

OTIS DELAYED TOO LONG

OTIS DELAYED TOO LONG
Result Of Advance On IlOilO Awaited
With Interest.
Doubt That The Insurgents With Resist Otis
Had Full Authority 10 Move Earlier
Than He Did.
Washington, Dec. 29.-The Off
Gals of the War Department have
resigned themselves to the lack Of
news from Iloilo, in view of Cen
eral Otis statement it requires
about four days to commu nicate
with that point from Manila,
owing to the absence of cable
connections.
No further orders have been
dispatched to General Otis, as the
department takes the position
that he must be allowed to exer-
else his discretion in dealing with
the situation, because of his pres
euce on the scene. They are con-
tident that he has enough soldiers
at his command to carry out any
project likely to be framed even if
that involves forcible subjugatiou
OF the insurgents, though it il
scarcely expected that matters will
reach such pass.
The force under General Otis
command now numbers about
10000 men and he could count
alec on great assistance from the
fleet under Admiral Deway. This
is force probably in excess of
any the Spanish have been able
to maintain in the islands for
many years aud as the insurgents
never have been able to prevail
against that force, it is hoped
they will see the futiIity and folly
of undertaking to oppose the
United States soldiers and sailors.
1t is regretted that the move
ment upon Iloilo was delayed
until the oath, ample authority
having been conferred upon the
officers in charge to have moved
at an earlier moment had they
deemed it we'll to do so.
