LONDON, June 3.-If a lot OF smoke
always means some fire, something
has been happening to the submarines
lately. The country is filled with
stories Of remarkable submarine mis-
adventures.
A British submarine went to the
bottom to rest. 1t encountered an OBJ
stacle, which proved TO be a German
submarine already lying there. Meth
err was able to attack the other, so
the British vessel opened its tanks
and took on all possible weight and
remained as long as possible on top
of the German. Then rising, the Brit
ish captain observed that the Ger
mans periscope was wrecked. After a
long wait no sign Of the German ap-
peared, and # is supposed it was lost

Both OF my brave officers were
killed and some of my men were
buried beneath the falling debris
from the explosion. I was thrown
fifty-yards by the terrific explosion
and received a terrible wound in my
shoulder. Col Eugene Erwin, grand
son OF Henry Clay. led the Confed
crate charge in retaking the fort
followed him closely, and saw the
gallant Erwin fall dead, with his
body riddled with bullets just as he
reached the breastworks."
Captain Hickey fought through
the Georgia campaigns and at the
battle OF Kenesaw Mountain was
again shot in the head.
Right Leg shot on.
At the battle OF Franklin in Hoods
campaign he was fearfully wounded
three times. His right leg was shot
off and his left arm and shoulder
was badly shattered.
After this, his last battle, Captain
Hickey lay on the battlefield for hours
not able to get out OF the way be-
cause OF the loss OF his leg. Rescued
by his commander. Gen. Francis NJ
CocRrell. he lay on the floor OF a
church for nearly a week.
When his uniform was cut from his
body, It marked the last uniform that

After the battle OF Franklin he had
nothing but the spark OF life in his
body. Yet in spite of his wounds he
turned heroically from war to the
paths OF peace to mend his broken
fortunes.
He went to Columbia, Tenn, and

by his taking his crutch and cane,

mony as chairman OF the committee
in charge, stopped his work at his
residence at 11o1 Fourteenth street
long enough to recall some of the
heroic tragedies in which he took
part, and which today's services com,
memorate.
Captain Hickey's war record is
more exciting than any child OF the
Imagination of the penny thriller"
author. And he takes just as much
pleasure in telling of how he was
shot, blown up, and rendered other
courtesies by the Federal troops as II
he had not been compelled to go
through the last half century minus
leg.
Served with General Price.
He enlisted in the army with Gen.
Sterling Price at the outbreak of the
war. and took an active part in the
battles OF Bonneville and Wilson
Creek and the siege OF Lexington.
where General Mulligan and all his
men were captured.
When Prices army was driven from
he was detailed to go up into
northern Missouri and ,nlist all the
soldiers he could ind who were will
ing to take the chance of getting
through to the Confederate lines.
While engaged in this work he and
his men were attacked by Merril's
Black Band. He was shot in the head
while trying to rally his men, and
was dragged by his horse forty or
fifty yards. He was secreted in a
cabin by one OF the men.
AS soon as he recovered sufficiently
to ride his horse, he crossed the Mis-
souri, river at night on the ice, with
all the soldiers that he could rally to-
gether. He Joined Prices army in
time to get into the fight at Pea
Ridge.
Blown Up at VIeksburg.
At the battle Of Corinth, he was Sc
vereIy wounded in the thigh.
Captain Hickey took especial pride
in telling of the Vicksburg campaign.

while defending the Notifications of
Vicksburg," said Captain Hickey.

"oh, great, Oh, splendid peoplel I

"Brava, dear madame! Braval And

Begins With Patriotic Air.
The performance began with the
rendition OF THE star-spangled Ban
ner" by the Marine Band, during
which the audience stood at attention,
after which the band switched into
pixie" and the real event OF the
evening began.
The play itself denes description.
II is comical-tragical, tragicaI pas
toraI. or comedy-pastoral-or maybe
all three. Possibly it may be called
a masque in three parts, with poet
icaI thesis instead of a plot.

Nine. Sophie Breslau gave a re-
narkable exhibition in her presenta-
ton OF the recitative and aria, 81

"Iphengenie in Tauris" was sung by
Tamaki Miura. the little japanese,

she sang "One Fine Day"
The patriotic climax Of the evening
came when Mime. Breslau sang The
Star-Spangled Banner" and pixie"
as an encore. The rendition of
pixie" was in honor Of the Confed-
crate veterans here for the reunion,
a sprinkling of whom were In the au-
dience.
Comedy and TraEedy Rivals.
The play began with the rivalry Of
comedy and tragedy. for the honor
OF being queen OF the drama. Izetta
Jewell was a striking ThalIa. while
Katherine Hitchcock moved the audi
ence as her solemn sister.
After a brilliant dancing exhibition
by Florence Fleming Noyes and her
pupils. the audience was transported
to medieval England.
William T. Wood. as a sort of
"Friar Bacon" a morality playwright
of the period, had prepared a "ter-
rible drama of 10000 words" and was
just getting 1t ready for presentation
when he was told the terrifying news
that a real woman had ventured on
the stage.
Again Izetta Jewell came forth,
bounded by George O'Conner. as Beg
german, until she was rescued by
George LaGuere, a Shakespeare-like
Apollo.
Russian Dancers Seen.
The terpsichorean interluds by two
wonderfully graceful Russian dancers,
Andreas Pavley and Serge oukrain-
sky. formed one of the most esthetic
and beautiful numbers on the pro-
gram and ELECTED salvos OF applause.
The dances were given under the mu-
steal direction Of George Barrere, the
famous ensemble conductor.
Comedy reigned again when Mrs.
r. d. SHEPHERDS tabloid version of
THE Tanning of the Shrew" was pre-
scented with fidelity to the true
Shakespearean soirit by Mr.. and Mrs.
