Caracas - Venezuela Wednesday

any one Of the Dutch warships will
be the signal for the beginning Of hos

Anticipating bombardment by the
Holland men-Of-waT. which have made

zuelan coast, the minister Of war has
hurried to La Guayra to assume full
command OF the government forces

That the government has resolved
to open Ere upon the FIRST Dutch war

GuayTa 80 carloads Of ammunition.

here. II is the general belief that war
Is inevitable, and preparations for q

NEWS OF THE STAGE,
Better Than Ever.

With a company of superior ex-
cellence, an entire new scenic inves-
titure, brand new costume embel-
lishment. a most of new. novel. right
up to now features. and fairly eTer-
yescing with musical gems of gen
uine merit came Tho Burgomast er =
to Shelton's theatre Monday night
after an absence of four or five
years. This breezy, swinging, tune
full musical comedy was always
.top-notcher, but its revision and re
yival places it little beyond any
musical attraction that has ever Wis
tied the opera house, and it is
doubtful if anything coming this sea-
son will prove its equal The per-
Torrance Monday night was greeted
by a packed house and the universal
verdict was that the piece was better
than ever.
The Burgomaster' does not pre-
tend to have any deep laid plans, or,
as the program confesses, to be free
from anachronism, but it does pro-
vide three hours of pretty scenes,
sparkling music and lots of fun COM
bined. In the title role it need only
be said that Mr.. Hermsen as Peter
Stuyvesant was all that his admirers
expected him to be, and Miss Ruth
White, who was again seen in her
original part, Willie" achieved the
success of the evening. AS Doodle
Won kull. the Burgomaster's secre-
tary, Leo Kendall exhibited quaint
drollery which was irresistible while
Miss Marion Mack's burlesque Of the
lady the osophis evoked roars of
laughter. The charming voice of Miss
Marie Grapdpre was heard to advan-
tage in the songs which fell to her
as Catherine Vanderbeck. while the
remaining roles were all adequately
filled. THE Burgomaster' is ex-
cellently staged, and the piece went
with a swing from start to finish.

the Union after the fashion of the
floating laborers OF this country. so

err it were digging ditches wrecking
houses or factory work. For awhile
his incognito usually worked well, but
as soon as his fellow laborers saw him
at table they at once began to suspect
him. His manner OF eating, his way
OF holding knife and fork, at once set
them specializing. Once he was seen
