Sensation Created By

No Such Reception Ever Given
Singer in Bangor.
rsPFcIAL ID - PREss.l

Bangor. October 1.-The annual Maine
Musical Festival opened in this city this
evening IN a most auspIeious manner,
and all in all the festival promises to be
tbs most successful financially of any
that has ever been held here. 1t Is stated
on good authority that at noon today
tickets amounting to 5000 had been sold
for the concerts to be given here. This Is
the biggest sale, it is said since the first
year, when the festival was started by
". R Chapman and Homer n. Chase
Hundreds of people arrived here this al
tsrnoon to attend the opening concert to-
night, The hotels are full and running
over with visitors and many are being
entertained in private families.
The rehearsals today were largely at
tended. The morning rehearsal was not
able from ths fact that Miss Iruax Of
New York, the young lady who whistled
so beautifully, made her appearance.
This young woman who is scarcely more
than sweet sixteen is wonder. If you
were not in the room when she is
whistling you would surely believe that
three different people were whistIing at
the same time in different keys. Miss
Truax scored a big hit and she viii be an
attraction at the rehearsals to be held on
Tuesday and Wednesday. MIR Chapman
bro light her from New York as an attrac-
tion for the festival, for ne felt that Maine
people would like to hear such wonder
Il let Ac c1a aNT1Id hn
placed on the regular programme he in
tcoduced here at the rehearsals. She will
surely be heard in Portland with the
same favor as in Bangor.
It was a brilliant audience that at
tended the opening concert this evening,
All of the artists were given a grand re-
ception, that accorded Nine. BIauvelt be-
ing unlike any ever accorded a singer in
this city. The concert opened with the
march movement from Tsehaikowsky' s
symphony rendered by the big orchestra
of seventy musicians. The first chorus
number was the HaIleluJah chorus from
the Messiah, which selection has been a
feature Of the festival for the past two
years. Richard Burmeister, the pianist,
played the andante and finale movements
from Chopin's concerto in f minor, a Sc
lection in whicn the pianist has made a
name for himself among the brilliant
musicians of this country.
Mime. Blauvelt first number was the
mad scene from Hamlet and she was also
heard in two numbers from Handel's II
Pens1eroso and Gounod- MrelIe. She
never sang better at a Maine festival than
tonight and people almost went crazy
over her. E. Ellsworth Giles, tenor, was
heard in the solo Lend Me Your Aid,
from Golnod's Queen Of Sheba and he
made a very favorable impression, The
chorus work was brilliant and particular
ly effective in the short eantata by Grieg
Recognition Of Land'' in which the solo
part was sung by Harry W. Libby of
Bangor.
The second concert VIII take place to-
morrow afternoon when Signor Cam
panari will make his only appearance
here, also Miss Alice Grace Sovereign,
conuaIto. The orchestral feature will be
the overture s'rhe Merry Wives of Wind
sor, and the special chorus number will
be the Finale from the Second Act Of
Aida.

Company Surprised By Three Hun
dred Natives.
Fought Until Ammuni-
tion Gave Out.
At Least Four Soldiers Killed
Including Capt. Shields.

Manila. Friday, September % (via
Hong Kong, October 1. )-Persistent na-
tive reports which are generally believed
have been current in Manila for several
days to the effect that Captain Devereaux
Shields and Co. f of the 18th regiment of
infantry, consisting of ffty.four men,
stationed at Boag, Martinique island.
embarked Septmber 13, on the gunboat
Villalobos and landed on the Marindaque
coast September IA, where three hundred
of the enemy armed with rifles, supposed
ly from LuzoD, surprised the Americans.
The latter fought for several hours, until
their ammunition was exhausted, after
which the Americans were overpoWered
and surrendered, relief being impossible,
after at least four OF the soldiers had been
killed. Among them, according to re-
ports, was Captain Shields. The Ameri-
cans also had several wounded.
Lieutsnants Reeves and Bates of the
staff on board the gunboat Yorktown, left
Manila, Monday. After gathsring troops
at Batangas they proceeded to Marindu-
que to verify the reports regarding the
fate Of Captain Shields and his men and,
in case the native rumors were we'll
founded, to punish the rebals and release
the captives. News from this expedition
is awaited with some anxiety at Manila.
In the meanwhile the censor prohibits
the transmission of news concerning the
affair. Col. Edward E. Hardin of the 29th
regiment, who is now In Manila, admits
1t is possible that the native reports may
be correct.
