In fact, he left them in the mans pos
session for some time. The newspaper
man copied the dispatches He did not
publish them in any newspaper, but pre-
pared them for use in a magazine article
which he intended to write. He did write
the article; It was accepted by the maya
publication that the navy department
learned of the fact. 1t was impossible to
prevent the publication, but the depart

The department investigated the mat
ter and found that Captain Chadwick was
to blame. He escaped with a reprimand
and the fact that he was in fault and
had been punished was never made pup
lie. The fact that has again
committed the same offense has evident
~ decided the department to try the eff
hcacy of giving his act and punishment
the widest publicity, for whereas the pre-
v1ous reprtmand was carefully concealed
from the newspapers, the present one has
been given out to the press associations.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Cheap imitation is probably never
quite as ridiculous as on the stage.
The Quo Wadis'' productions of a score
or more of managers, who took adj
vantage of the great success Of the
Whitney production in Chicago, which
are now touring the country, are as
admirable illustrations of this as could
be desired. One OF these ~'hurriedly
shufied' affairs was seen at the Craw-
ford theater recently, and another was
witnessed by a small audience at the
Grand opera house last night.
The programme of the performance
was a gigantic list of 81 characters,
and the company comprised not more
than a dozen people. As a result the
players worked for their wages in
doubling about. The played
the part of 'Crsus'' after settling up
in the box office, and as a result the
fourth act. However, when he did ap-
pear, he received the only curtain call
of the evening. The imperial army of
Nero was represented by four supers
wearing rope whiskers, and the burn
ing of Rome" was accomplished by
igniting a a of red fire inside of what
appeared to be a dry goods box cut out
to represent a coliseum Of ancient
Rome.
Once during the performance the
sympathies Of the audience were
stoned by "Poppaea' declaring
that "Lygia'' was just as beautiful as
she. The version used killed of
"Eunice" early in the proceedings, in
trodUced a sister as the object of Pc
tronius' affections, and made witt

marked hat Nero was a cuckoo"

Further than this, the provisional gov
nme declares that it wishes to ter
inmate the relations with the French

the concession to build the Panama canal.
The Colombian government has accepted
the terms of the company, and the revo-
Iutionists say they will not recognize the
new contract and to avoid trouble with

appeals to this country for official recog-
milton. The extending of the time to
build the canal for which negotiations the
government at Bogota sent Senior Es-
guerra to Paris. has been granted, 1t IS
alleged, in an Illegal manner, in an en-
deavor to secure funds for the prosecu-
law of the country it now becomes nee

refuses to submit the matter to that body.
