FLEET AT ANCHOR
Battleships Are Welcomed to Peru by Cheering
 Crowds.
EVANS REMAINS ABOARD
Five Thousand Sailors Will See Bull Fight-Washingto Birthday
 Fete To-day.

Callao, Feb. 20.-The American bat tleships. under Rear Admiral Evans, looking clean and trim and powerful in the tropical sun, came to anchor in this port soon after o'clock this morn ing.
 The booming of salutes announced the arrival of the fleet but there was resident of Callao and great crowds from Lima. which stands back on the hills, had awaited with expectancy the first glimpse of the advancing column.
 Callao was in holiday array, wishing to show that Peruvian hospitality was second to none in South America, and many thousand viewed from the wharves, the headlands and the ships in the harbor the imposing scene. En- thusiastic crowds went down the bay on excursion steamers and cheered the American men-of- war.
 The Peruvian cruiser Coronel Bolog- nesi, bearing the first official welcome to the fleet joined the American yes sels yesterday morning 250 miles 70 tho southward, having the day before exchanged greetings by wireless with the Connecticut, and acted as an escort up the coast. She led the way into the harbor this morning with the flag ship of the fleet close beside her. and soon the sound of guns gave notice that the American sailors were the re- publics guests.
 The only rcgrettable feature of the entertainment arranged in honor of the visitors is the fact that Rear Admiral Evans will not be able to attend. To- day Admiral Evans, who has been suf- fering almost from the beginning of the voyage from rheumatism, was slightly better, but as yet he does not feel that he should risk the danger of coming ashore. Rear Admiral Charles M Thomas, commander of the second squadron, will represent him at the of fcial ceremonies attendant. upon the visit, but Rear Admiral Evans is still the commander of the fleet.
 The battleships will remain here probably for ten days, and will be joined by the torpedo boat fotilla near the close of their stay at Callao. Ar | engagements have been made for festlv- ities of all kinds, including bull fight, which not less than 5000 of the blue jackets will see, ,anda regatta, for which preparations have been going on for several weeks. President Pardo will give a reception to the officers to-mor- row afternoon and Washingtons birth day will be made a gala occasion ]

sence. He is waiting for Pete in Times square. A distant sound is heard in the subway. nearby, which finally eul- inmates in thunder clap. Then Pete appears. And the fun begins. Pete. to be candid, isn't a great success in capturing the mother-in-lawu for she always bobs lip at the worst possible moment to assist in the evenings en- tertainment. OGraff has engaged Mayme Madigan, soubrette. to dance and sing. Well, his mother -in-law isn't particularly pleased at finding her son in company with the dainty soubrette, and in the scufIle to keep her away Pete finds himself under arrest on three distinct occasions. The act ends with a merry -go-round of policemen with Pete always in the lead.
 The second act finds Pete robbing the safe of the Hotel Astor with such stealth that the noise is deafening.. The fun is knee deep in this act and the house roars in glee. In the last net Pete turns his hand to the soda fountain and makes all kinds of drinks from carbolic cocktail on.
 In the first act the song hit was "Cal- | fornia Belle,'' sung by Mayme Madi- gan. In act two Two Hearts that Beat as One sung by "the spooners" was vigorously applauded and also the parodes sung by Pete. In the last act Jennie Jones'" sung by Pete was the hit.
 Tonight, to-morrow night and Hol- iday matinee tomorrow are the last chance 10 have jolly afternoon oi evening.

Margaret Anglin in "1he Awakening
 of Helena Richie" Tonight.

Miss Charlotte Thompson, who has made the dramatization of The Awak- ening of Helena Richie for Margaret Anglin, began her literary career on a San Francisco newspaper thus furn- ishing additional evidence of the value of journalistic training.
 From the San Francisco Gall" where she was deemed one of the most tai ented and valuable members of the staff, Miss Thompson graduated into the magazine field, quickly winning her spurs as writer of short stories and realistic sketches and also making a fine reputation as a humorist
 The development into creative work for the stage was natural one, es- pecially since this clever young woman had always evinced a strong sympathy for and keen understanding of the drama.
 Now, while yet very young woman, Miss Thompson stands among the fore most American dramatists of either sex. To her credit stand more than dozen successful plays, with the pros- pect that the list will soon be mater ially added to-
 The best known efforts, at least to Eastern play-goers, is "The Strength of the Weak a powerful drama in which Florence Roberts, the eminent Califor- mia actress, made her New York debut last season. The success then accord- cd is a matter of dramatic history. Following, in order of prominence, this work done in collaboration with pr, AL Ice M Smith, come "A Suit of Sable, "Silvermounted Harness" a delightful play on the ever-fruitful theme of Nell Gwynne, and Miss Pendragon" Stili another drama, given with uniform success, by Creston Carke must be in- cluded in the list of decisive hits, while the roster likewise includes a nanber of able efforts which have as yet not been procured save West of the Rock ies, hence are still to be accorded East ern acclaim.
 Miss Anglin vii appear at the Hyper | ion theater tonight and tomorrow, with matinee on Washington's birth day, in The Awakening of Helena Richie"

NO JOBS AT PANAMA.
Canal Commission Cutting Down Force-NO Other Jobs on Isthmus.

Washington. Feb. 20-Reductions in force arg being made by the Isthmian Canal commission in the building con- struction division, in that of mechanics, and also in the clerical force on the Isthmus. Notwithstanding that, con siderable number of unemployed me- chanics and clerks have been migrating to the Isthmus recently owing to the commercial depression in this country but their chances of securing employ ment are very remote.
 The Commission is anxious that prominence be given the facts, as any vacanies that may have to be filled are given to former employees who have not left the Isthmus Americans who do go there, however. and fail to se- cure work with the Commission can seldom find other employment. IS the volume of other business is not large and the local supply of skilled labor is amply sufficient to meet all demands.
