"A Jolly American Tramp"

N. D. Newell presented the laugh
able melodramatic drama, "A JULY
American Tramp" at the Augusta
Opera House. last evening. The man
agement certainly had good reason for
congratulating itself for there was a
big audience present.
THE American Tramp" has never
been seen here before and its opening
in this city was very successful. Jack
Allen was a capital man in the title role
and made one of the best hits of the
evening Kitty Bingham was an ex-
eellent Flo Barrett and captivated the
audience.
The play itself is very witty and
time after time the hearers burst into
long continued applause, calling the
players back to repeat certain of the
more humorous parts and the special
ties which We're introduced. But there
were some vulnerable places. The vii
lain was weak and detracted consider
able from the play as a whole. The
comedy was of a rather coarse variety
| in some parts and was considerably
Ioverdrawn in others.

Law Down Arms.


Manila, April 17.-Gen. Malvar has
Internationally surrendered to Brig.
Gen. Bell, at Lipa. Batangas province,
with the entire insurgent force of the
provinces of Laguna and Batangas.
Gen. Bell says his (Bell's) influence is
sufficient to quell the insurrectionary
movements in Tayabas and Cavte pro-
vinces and capture all those in the field
who have not yet surrendered, but NAL
var has ordered the complete surrender
of every insurgent to the nearest Ameri-
can force. Gen. Wheaton, reporting to
the division headquarters, says that all
resistance in his department has ended,
and that the surrenders just announced
mean that the ports will be opened and

are held personally responsible for the
quality and quantity of the food served
out and for the general welfare of the
occupants of the camp.
