promises to be a heavy one as nine
barbed wire fences stretch around the
entire city fifty yards apart while Just

The transports for Manila from Snn
Francisco have 1 cached their harbor
in safety. They tarried on the way
and captured Ladrom islands, have
the governor and several Spanish olll
eers as prisoners, and left a garrison
to guard the islands.
Santiago has not fallen. Shatter
was checked at the outer walls, but is
still full of fight. He needs help to
storm the city, although Santiago is
shot to pieces and Spaniards killed by
the score. American losses up to date
will aggregate 1,000, but the exaet
list is not yet known.
The fleet of Cervera is knocked to
pieces, the Spanish admiral and 1,300
Spaniards are prisoners of war. Not

ceeded in taking the advance position

ment rcsistence lasting three hours on
our part. We were able to bavo our
artillery, though hnlf the troops were
placed hors de combat. General Li
nares was seriously wounded in the
left arm and relinquished his com
mand to General Vosa. The fight was
resumed this evening and ended in Kl
Caney surrendering itself after a vig
orous' rcsistence on our part. Our
.losses were heavy."
Tnrmlny, July ff,
A Madrid paper speaks boldly for
pence and says Spain is not alile to
fight.
The authorities say Santiago lias al
ready made its best fight, that itf
occupation is merely a question of
time.
Shafter has sent tho following to the
commanding general of Santiago: "Sir
I shall be obliged, unless you sur
render, to shell Santiago. Please in
form the citizens of foreign countrlei
nnd all women nnd children that they
shall leave the city before tomorrow

tO thO lCSlllt of
the collaboration of
Sullivan, Plucvo
and Carr was grati
fied In London the
other night by tho
production at the
Snvoy theater of a
romantic opera
called "The Ilenuty
Stono." It Ib dlfll-
S-'TuU
cult to characterize the plcco beyond
saying that tho music was pleasing, the
plot excellent, and the libretto clevrr.
If it Is true, na Is reported, that Mr.
PInero has dramatized the story with
out mtiRlc, the stngo will undoubtedly
gain n strong and successful play. It Is
a fifteenth century romance, in which
the Devil nmuscs himself by bestowing
a beauty stono upon a weaver's crip
pled dnughter nnd watching tho mis
chief wrought thereby. The hero, Prince
Philip, transfers his affections from his
favorite Salda to tho possessor of the
stone. Tho weaver's daughter, though
attracted by him, resents his unlawful
love, throws away the charm, and re
turns to her former ugliness. Her fath
er possesses hlniBelf of the stone, re
gains his youth, nnd falls In love with
Snlda, who encourages him In order to
gnln the secret. She finally secures tho
stone, expecting thereby to be restored
to Prince Philip's favor, but the prince
returns from battle blind. He remem
bers only tho beauty nnd character of
tho weaver's daughter. Ho hears her
sing nnd takes her to his throno de
spite her ugliness nnd deformity. Tho
bare outline Is elaborated Into a charm
lng romance, which Sir Arthur Sulli
van sets to music In n stylo which Is
still that of Sullivan, although It Is
more dramatic and ambitious than that
of his lighter operas. Those who com
plain that Sir Arthur Is written out
will perhaps say there Is a lack of great
original features In tho opera, but there
PAULINE
ore certnlnly several delightful pas
sages. But more notable, perhaps, than
the opera iteelf was the advent on the
Savoy Btago of a prima donna who won
a distinct triumph In the principal role
of Salda. This was Miss Paulino Jor
an, on American girl, whom London
has known only In grand opera at the
Covent Garden theater. She has de
veloped the rarest qualities of dramatic
genius In combination with vocal abili
ties of the highest order. She won a
spontaneous ovation which any artist
might envy. Had tho authors further
developed her part, giving more nu
merous opportunities for hearing her
voice, tho opera would undoubtedly bo
stronger and It would have a chance
of real popular success, which at pres
ent seems doubtful. Two other Ameri
cans, New Yorkers, Devoll as Prince
Philip and Isham as the prlnco's chief
warrior, were well received, especially
tho latter. On tho whole the opera
was an artistic rather than a popular
success.

HEN Arthur Hill,
a good looking

Rosnllo Lulkort,

tho altar a few
weeks ago, the
prospects of tho
couple secmod to

be exceedingly
bright. Mr. Hill was n good denl of nn
enigma to thoso who had tho plcasuro
of his acquaintance, but his brldo had
money nnd plenty of it. Tho fact that
sho was n grandmother seemed to bo
nobody's business except hor husband's.
Soon tho married children of tho
brldo heard strange reports about their
young stepfather. It wns said that
this was not tho first tlmo ho had
profited largely by tho Infntuatlon of
an elderly woman for him, and after a
Fcarchlng Investigation tho Lulkert
children began an action In tho Su
premo Conrt of New York city that
mny rnuso some embarrassment to Mr.
and Mrs. Hill. The plaintiffs In tho
suit aro Mertol, Alfred, Ernest and Vic
tor Lulkert and Emma Well, tho chil
dren of Rosallo Lulkert, "who Is sup
posed to bo Rosnllo Hill," as tho com
plaint reads, nnd the story they tell
through Lawyer W. L. Snyder Is an
uncommon one.
Thqy say tholr father, Victor Lulkort,
mado a fortune as a butcher In New
York nnd In New Rochcllo. Ho mnr
rled their mother forly-six years ago.
She worked hard and helped her bus-
band In his business. During tho civil
war Lulkert mado money fast, nnd In
18G5 ho bought a piece of property on
Main street. New Rochcllc,
Tho children, who nre mnrrled and
hnvo children of their own, also helped
their father In his business, working
without snlnrlcs, and tho profits were
UBcd In Improving the prcinltes. Tho
lnnd bought thirty-three years ago Is
now covered with substantial buildings,
Is free nnd clear of all Incumbrances,
nnd is worth $50,000. It Is claimed that
this property wns bought for the pur
poso of providing n home for Mrs. Lcl
kcrt nnd her children, nnd accordingly
the husband placed the deed In his
wife's name, with tho understanding
that sho should hold It In trust.
Mr. Lulkert died on Jan. 20, 1R89,
leaving his entire estate to his wife.
The sons Victor and Ernest contested
the will, nnd brought n partition suit,
but the other children sided with their
mother and tho will was sustained.
Suddenly, nbout thrco months ago,
Arthur Hill came along nnd met Mrs.
Lulkert. The children allege that he
sought to marry her for the purpose of
getting her property, nnd that a matri
monial agency was tho means employed
by him In cnrrylng out his plans. Thoy
also say that he hns succeeded In alien
ating their mother's affections from
them, nnd that ehe has threatened to
destroy her wlirnnd disinherit them.
They finally claim that sho has ban
ished thorn from her presence, and that
unless tho court steps In nnd Interferes
sho will dlsposo of her property. They
nsk that tho New Rochello estate bo ad
judged trust property; that sho bo re
moved as trustee; that n receiver be
appointed, nnd that she bo restrained
from Interfering with tho property.

expects to receive a large Inheritance
from Germany, makes n brief answer

From tho Philadelphia Record:
Ykrough n simple act of charity the
other day Mrs. Frank Kennedy af.Weat
Philadelphia solved a mystery of Jong
standing. Last August Mrs. Kennedy
broko a gold lockot which sho nrlied
highly, as It contained a plcturo and
lock of hair of her dead mother. She,
of course, desired to have tho ropalra
made by a first-class Jeweler, so sho In
trusted tho locket to the care of ber
brother, who was acquainted In the
jewelry trade. Tho brother was about
to go on a trip through Now York state,
but he promised to leave tho locket with
n Philadelphia Jeweler on his way to
the train nnd return tho receipt by
mall. Two days later Mrs. Kennedy re
ceived a letter from her brother, who
said ho would bring tho lockot with htm
whon ho returnod, but did not mention
whero It was being repaired. Earl in
September a dispatch enmo stating that
the brother had died suddenly In Utlca
nnd that the body and effects would be
sent on at once. Some time lator Mrs.
Kennedy remembered her lockot, Uut,
although she mado a thorough search ot
her brother's papers and clothes, she
could find no trace ot It. Inquiries
wero made ot all the largo Jewelers,
and advertisements wero Inserted In
tho newspapers, but tho locket was nev
er found. Last Wednesday a forlorn
tramp came to tho Kennedy residence
and was given something to eat. In re
turn he did somo work, and Mrs. Ken
nedy decided to give him a suit of hei
brother's clothes, which she had kPt.
Thd "hobo" seemed very grateful, and
after donning the suit left. Thursday
