 CAUSED DISAPPOINTMENT
The 'Nayal Battle of Santiago" VIII be Given With Full Realistic Effect
 Tomorrow Night.

Owing to the threatening weather and an the second presentation of the grand spec tacular the Naval Battle of Santiago, and fire works display was postponed un- til tomorrow night. The working force at the big show was busy as bees all day yes terday getting the spectacle in proper or der, and had the clements not interfered, the great exhibition would have been given in a way that would have fully satisfied every one, and fulfilled all the promises made for it. The rain fell in torrents at East Lake and other suburban points ,and it sprinkled slightly at the grounds several times and the wind blew lively gale so that the scenery for the show had to be lowered and the fire works which had been put in place were hurredy conveyed to place of safety. At 6:3O everything was in readiness for a complete and realistic per formance but after 1t was once taken down, even had the weather became more propitious the spectacular could not have been gotten ready. The management post poned the next exhibition until tomorrow, May 30, the regular date for the third pre- sentation, and they promise the most inter- esting realistic and thrilling performance of the kind ever given in Birmingham. The Elks were to have attended in body last night, but owing to the weather they post poned their visit until Wednesday night. They will be greeted by a magnificent set piece-an Elk's head in fire with the words Best People on Earth,' framed around it. The pyrotechnic triumph, Niagara Falls, and other pieces will be given Wednesday night, and the battle will be presented in full
 All persons who hold tickets can attend the second presentation tomorrow night. Several hundred persons, regardless of the weather, put in an appearance at the grounds last night, which is a high com plement to the drawing power of the show.

ROBBERS OPERATE
 IN CAPITOL PARK
N. s. KatuSky Held Up by Two
 Highwaymen.
WAS COVERED WITH PISTOLS
Relieved ofHis Money and Valuables and Told to Get After Being Provided With Gar Fare-Police
 Notified

N. S. Katusky, who resides at S22 North Twentieth street, was held up and robbed at the point of pistols, at 10 o'clock last night in Capitol park. by two unknown white boys apparently about IS years of age.
 The highwaymen robbed their victim of everything he had, even to his lead pen cil, securing a watch, one five-dollar bill, three silver dollars, some small change, a pocket knife, a bill book containing some valuable papers, and a bunch of keys. After finishing the job, they gave their badly frightened victim a nicke for car fare and told him to move on.
 The watch which was taken was Fa- hays gold-flled case, with Waltham movements, with the letters U. D. R. to J. G. R." engraved in the inside of case.
 Katusky says that one of the robbers wore a white crush hat and aside from that he could give but little description of them, but thought he could identify them if brought before him. He says that he did not see anyone until they stepped out of the darkness with their pistols drawn, nor did they speak to him more than to tell him that they only wanted his money and would not molest him otherwise.
 As soon as he was notified Chief of Po- lice Austin, with one of his men, imme- diately started for the scene of the robbery but up to a late hour last night no arrests had been made.
 The robbery occurred almost in the cen ter of the park just at the top of the flight of stone steps leading down to the Eighth avenue entrance.
 Only few nights ago a man was held up and robbed at the corner of Twenty first street and Eighth avenue in similar manner

picture men were not routed until the
railroad men threatened to domolish
the photographers expensive cameras
and tear up the artists cardboard. \
score of newspaper photographers

building early and were informed that
they could not enter with their ma

A dozen burly railroad men were ap-
pointed to smash all cameras found
inside the building and tear up all ar
lists materials. The picture men then
waited outside. When Miss Gould ar
rived with Mrs. Sage a flank move
ment was made and their carriage was
driven around to a side entrance.
The men of pictures rushed to the
side door, but upon arriving there
found the women surrounded by over
fifty tall men, who formed a body
guard clear into the building. shutting
the cameras out completely.
In the crush to close o. the picture
men Miss Gould and Mrs. Sage were
almost crushed themselves. They
seemed amazed at the excitement at
first, but soon learned the cause and
helped to deprive the picture men of
snapshots.
