Alexander played selections from the compositIons of nine different composers and a more delightful program would be tiifllctiIt to choose. The variety of Inter- pretatlons thus ( iemanhlel ( was a severe test ' - of the vorsallty of any artist. but Mrs. Alex- nniers renditions were so uniformly artli- tic that it was difficult to tell what pleased the most. 11cr first number was a descrip- tire piece by Grlog. representing scenes froni Norwegian folk life which In itself Involved a ronsiderablo range of technique. A bar- caroile by Itubenstetn followed and theii Chopins nocturne in C minor anti three short compositions by Schumann gave scope for those more delicate interpretations without - out which these composers fail to charm. The "Rhapsodic Ilongrolse , No. 12 , " by Liszt , brought out more fully the maguiui- cent technIque of the artist and this was followed by a very pretty sketch , "l'han- by Mrs. II. II. A. licach.

The regular monthly meeting of the Hoard of Directors of the exposItion was held yesterday - torday in the Administration arch. There were twenty.seven directors present , and Vice l'resldent Saunders presided in the absence of President \'attles. The greater part of the session was taken up with a discussion regarding the best menus of advertising the exposition. Mr. Kountac introduced the subject by speak. lag of a man from Dtnver who had visIted the cxpcsItton and bad expressed the great- cat surprise that the affair was not adver- tizeti In ( lie Denver papers. In contrast to this , Mr. Wharton told of a clIent from Denver who had spoken most enthusiast- lcahiy of the exposItion , before seeIng It. saying that ho hal read all about It In the Denver papers , and hat never known any exposition anywhro which had been so thoroughly advertized. Manager Itosewater spoke of the great quantities of clippings from papers all over the country , and especially from Denver nnd Colorado. showing that the papers in all parts of the country are constantly giv- lug the exposition enormous quantities of advertising without charge. lie said there has been a systematic attempt on the part of certain newspapers in this Immediate vicinity to cause dissatisfaction regarding the method adopted for showing the usual courtesies to the newspapers in the way of passes. He said the same method had been adopted wIth the Iowa papers that was in force In Nebraska , yet but three complaInts hare been receIved from Iowa editors , while a systematic effort has been made to prejudice the newspapers of Nebraska agaInst the exposition. He referred to the Chicago papers which hare been giving the exposition page after page of ndrertising without charge , and said the next issue of llarpersVeokiy will devote two pages to an article regarding the exposition. The discussion then became general and many suggestions were made regarding the best methods to bring the exposItion prom- lnenUy before the people In all sections of the country. Mr. Itosewater told of what is being done in the way of getting out new advertising matter and said the lack of funds was all that prevented the advertis- lug Icing carried on more extensively. The matter ns then dropped wIthout actIon. Director Youngs moved that the p11cc of admission to the exposition grounds be reduced - duced to 25 cents after p. m each day until July 11. lie supported this motion by the argument that this course would give the masses of the PeoPle flfl opportunity to come to the exposition to spend their even- ings. Manager Babock said this question had been thoroughly discussed by tie executive commIttee and the decision of the committee had been against the course propoed by the motion. Mr. Babcock said there were two sides to the question , in addition to the ar- guruent advanced by Mr. Toungs. The con- cessionalres would like to see the price reduced - duced at nIght as that would improve their business , but the exhibitors were on the oilier sIde. If the exposition is made a "nIght show" the increascl attendance at that time will detract from the size of the crowds which rill visit the exposition In the day time and the result will be that the exhibitors wIll take their goods and leavc. This argument was satisfactory to Mr. Yoings and his motion was withilrawn. Mr. Rosewater called attention to the recent - cent damage to the lagoon and said that soniethutig should be done to prevent a recurrence - currence of the disaster. Ito therefore moved that tue executive committee be di- rcted to employ a competent hydraulic engineer - gineer to devise a plan for repairing the lagoon so that it will not be breaking thown wIth every rain. There was very little comment on this motion , Mr. Kountze remarking that the lagoon is one of the most attractive tea- tures of the main court anti that something should be doie at once to prevent it from being out of order all the time. The motion was then adopted without further discus- sian . - Thio board adjourned to meet Juno 24 at 4 p. in. MACCA II 1CM ' .VI 1,1.

Thursday - day , June S.-In Santiago do Cuba there are now about 20,000 SpanIsh soldiers , chiefly infantry , but with a fair contingent of cavalry and field artih- lery , drawn from the surrounding country. During the daytime the cavalry skirmishes in the vicinIty of the city , returning at nIght to barracks. During the last few days the activIty of the Spaniards has been particularly notIce- able. Oxen trains have been making their way to the batteries , detachments have been working on emplacements and there have bten other signs showing that the Spaniards - iards are preparing a desperate resIstance. Some guns from Admiral Cervera's blps may be removed to the forts. The insurgents , about 0,000 strong , bare taken a position on a mountain to the west- ward. Two thousand insurgents of this gathering are unarmed. General Maxinio Gomez , now about 1&O miles Inland , is makIng his way toward the coast. Admiral Sampson is actIvely co-operating with the Insurgents. Yesterday General Miniet of tim Insurgent forces and his staff went on board the New York for a long con- sultation. The naval omcers have been doing splendid - did and daring work in carrying coinmuni- cations to the insurgents , landing arms and making trips ashore for the purpose of gaining information. Upon the gunboats Suwanee and Vixen this work has chiefly devolved. LIeutenant Sharp of tbe Vixen and Lieutenant Commander Delehanty of the Suwanee have been daily entrusted with Important missions and have carried them out successfully. Lands Arnis and .tniununltlon. The Vixen's work has been chiefly eon- fined to carrying messages to and fro , but the Suwanee has been occupied In a more serious task. This lIttle gunboat has landed 300,000 rounds of small arnis' ammunitIon , 3,000 SprIngfield rifles , 100 carbines , 2,000 machetes , with equipments and provisions. These were landed yesterday ( Wednesday ) , about fifteen miles west of Santiago , to some S0O Insurgents who came down to the beach , the main body remaining in the mountains. The debarkation of supplies was tedious , but Interrupted. The Insurgents reported that Irregular engagements between their forces and the SpanIsh cavalry were of daily occurrence. The Cubans were hard up for supplies and ammunItIon and were overjoyed at the sight of the Suwanee's cargo. Some ate ravenousiy , hacked at the slices of bacon and ate raw beef. They had been living on limes , cocoanuts and sweet potatoes. Ensign Gilpin went ashore and accompanied - nied the Cubans to their temporary camp inland , where he found ten or a dozen wounded men badly In need of medical at- temlatice. l3andages were sent from the Suwanee. The casualties were the result of a brush with the cavalry. Ensign GIlpIn , describing his experience at the camp , said : . , I found the Insurgents a rough looking set of boys and old men , carrying arms of all sorts anti all anxious. to borrow everything - thing I had from my blouse to my revolver. Pour Spanish soldiers In unifom , carrying rifles , marched into the camp while I was there and said they wanted to JoIn the in- surgents. They were enrolled , but a close watch was kept on them. as they belonged to the clvii guard. A Cuban omcer toil , me such additions were not infrequent. The Spaniards bad Mauser rifles , which were ha fairly good condition. " Conservative authorities believe the United States troops will have to carry out their plan of campaign without placing much reliance upon the insurgents. Several plucky young officers like Ensign Gllpin hare made trips ashore anti taken observations of the interior of the harbor anti the fortifications , locating the exact position of Cervera's tour ships. It is hardly likely , however , that tb Spanish officials keep them moored at te ? same place both day and night. More than once the omeers engaged in this shore duty have bad narrow escapes from falling In with the enemy's cavalry.

Four batteries anwered the fire of the fleet. One was located on the crest of n hill about a mile to the east of itiorro and at about the same elevation. some 200 feet above the sea level. A little further to the eastwar1 was a water bttery. Morro castle itself made no reply to LIie tire of the fleet , which was not directed aaiust it ; but a battery - tery on the shore beneatlElt mounting sew- oral high power rifles maintained a desultory - tory fire throughout thct action and toward It was directed some of th heaviest cannoa- ading. To the westward the harbor's mouth was the fourth battery , also on the crest of a hill at abouL'the same elevation as Morro , The lienvimt return Ore came from that battery on the hIll top jus to the eastward of Morro. The fleet was formed ho two divisions , the line stretching at righL.angies from the pivot 51111)5 , the Oregon anti 'rexas , whIch lay directly off Morro andncarcst the torts.

None of these suffered inaterici damage and no casualtIes were reported. As the four batteries attacked are scattered along the coast line , th ranges of the yes- sels' fire varied considerably , The division to the westward was chose enough to engage - gage the water battery abreast with four and six-inch guns , while the twelve and thirteen-Inch monsters of the battleships thundered to the lull top and to the west of them with a flanking fire. The eastern division directed its great guns against the water batteries under cover @f the cliffs around Morro anti was able also to play rapid fire secondary batteries upon the for- tlficatlons on the West side of the harbor , which was considerably shorter range than the other works.

Ho reiterated' emphatically hI3 recent public declarations and in iliustrat- Ing his argument that coninmimnity of feel- lag existed between the United States anti England declared : "Other countries regard - gard questions of humanIty from a different point of view. " This provoked cries of "Shame" from the Irish members and Dillon interjected : "Do you say that of France ? " Chamberlain thereupon turned fiercely upon time IrIsh members and passionately do- dared that he well understood their attitude iii the matter and asserted with great deliberation - oration that Anglo.Saxon America would turn a deaf ear In time future to the prompt- lags of Irish-Americans. The minlsteriallsts. vimo listened almom.t silently to the rest of Chamberlain's speech , cheered frantically at tiiIs statement , which the Irish members received wIth Ironical applause. Dillon followed , speaking amid great Interruption - terruption from the ministerial benches , lie exprem.sed imls opinion that whatever chance there had been of an Anglo-Amerlcaum alliance - liance it had been irretrlevebly damaged by Chamberlain's insulting reference to Irish- Amnoricans. The general parliamentary verdict on Chamberlain's speech was that it was most ludiscreto throughout and calculated to gravely embarrass the foreign relations of the government.

( Copyright , 1ttS , by Press PublIshing Co. ) LONDON. June 10.-New ( York World Cablegram-Special Telegram , ) -Tho Daily Mail's ParIs dispatch says again there Ia great activity here in diplomatic circles regarding - garding the promotion of peace. The Au.- trian ambassador to London , who visited Paris this week for three days , discussed the matter thoroughly with itt. Hanotaux. who Ill offer to mediate at , an auspicious moment. Meanwhile. the Spaniards will only consent to negotIations on term. which America considers Impossible and it is probable - ' able that nil the activity of European chan- cohierics wilt go for nothing. I hear that nt the weekly receptiomx of the anibassatiora at the foreign omen today Salisbury expressed to different ambassadors liresent a stromig vIew of the BritIsh government that. those powers having the greatest Influence with Spain would press her to initiate proposals - posals for peace on terms that \Vashlngton could consider. This pointed hint to the French anibmasador is expected to bear fruit , as there baa been great activity and a re- reated lnterchammge of visits the last two days between the Austrian and French am- bassadors. Arthur Ilalfour's statement In the house of Comnmona thIs afternoon fully bears out the dispatch that the terms suggested - gested as a basis for discussion by France Tuesday last were treated as impossible by Salisbury. No fresh proposals have sluice been put forward , but it Is declared fl05l tlvoly in tlIploniatic circles that every poe- Bible pressure is being used at Madrid to induce Spain to abandon Cuba , which the fear of internal troubles alone vreveuts Sa- gasta arid the queen regent from doing.

No doubt exists blat Spain will entreat the intervention - vention of time powers almost immediately. I learn , however , that time Vienna cabinet has declined finmly tO limitlate mediation. as it wishes to avoid nil appearance of liter- ventlon seeming to be only dyimastic action in the Interest of time queen regent which perlmnps mIght give fatal offense to many parties in Spain. Nevertlmelcss the declmled opinion is held that the tint for intorven- lion is very nearly at hand , althougim heal- tation to take the first step is evident every- hero. Time probability is that Rusala will undertake time initiative and within one or two ( lays action emi th part of the St. Petersburg cabInet will be Immatmgurnted in regard to time Plillipplume questIon.
