CRUISER DETROIT.
Sails From Bluefields to Colon for
Coal

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The follow
ing cablegram has been received at the
Navy Department from Captain Day
ton of the cruiser Detroit:
Port Limon Costa Rica), May O.
Detroit, with, Minister, will proceed i'm
mediately to Colon for coal.
DAYTON"
This is the first report the Navy De-
partment has had from the commander
of the Detroit, with one exception, since
she arrived at Bluefields. 1t was plead
ed by the Nicaraguan authorities in
answer to our complaints against tam
pering with our cablegrams that the
wires were unserviceable. Port Limon
is about a days run from Bluefields.
The Detroit probably will reach Colon
by Monday and return to her station at
Bluefelds by the end of next week.
The Minister referred to as being
aboard is Minister Merry, who came
down to Bluefields from Managua to
adjust the dispute between the Ameri-
can merchants and General Torres, and
the fact that he feels able to leave
Bluefields at this time is taken here as
an indication that no crisis exists
there.

ADJUSTMENTS.

An appreciative audience at the Clu-
ME Operation last night set the seal
of its emphatic approval on the perform
ance of The MZuno Troupe of Royal lap-
anese and the vaudeville show Number
after number received thunders of APP
pleuse and recalls. The troupe is
strong one in all its parts. Mizuno is
the strong man of the organization and
his perch act with Tora was excellent;
but their last act the breakaway lad
der, in which one side of long ladder,
with all the rungs, breaks away and
falls to the stage, leaving the daring
fora balanced on the top of the single
side, must be seen to be appreciated,
and brought down the house O. Kura
does an inimitable act Of umbrella toss
ing and balancing and shows himself a
master of the art of juggling and ball
ancing. In his big tub balancing with
fora and little All Right, he did some
wonderfully fine work with the boys in
the tub, in which they ably assisted him
and did fine work. In his posturing
with O. Satu, the little fellow showed
himself a daring and effective addition
to the act. Kura also did some fine
high-wire work, and won applause by
his bicycle riding on the wire Tora
does an excellent contortion act. with
some difficult feats not bsfore seen here,
and Madame Mizuno did some very
pleasing tricks Of magic. Miss Marie D.
Woods, The California Nightingale"
won immediate favor with her audience
without an effort. Her upper register
notes are clear and full and her voice
pleasing and true. She sings without
apparent effort and her enunciat:on is
clear and distinct, a gift unfortunately
too rare among vocalists. She won an
enthusiastic recall and is an assured ia
vorite. Martin FRANKLIN, comedian, vo-
calist and dancer, late of the Aston
Battery, made a decided hit with his
parodies on occurrences at Manila, as
well as his dancing.
The Howard Brothers, celebrated
banjoiSts, are masters of their instru-
ments, performing most difficult selec-
tons in a style that earned them most
liberal applause. Altogether, the troupe
cannot fail to become a favorite during
its stay.

tleship Texas, who was arrested at
GAINESVILLE, O., yesterday, charged with
brutally assaulting Mrs. Effie Smith
near here in 1897, arrived here in Gus

dozen men as the culprit who had

ture after the assault, and who was
shot and MANNED for life by the as
saulter, also readily identified McCloy.
The latter denies ever having been
