The opening play will be the thrilling comedy drama, “A Heart of the Mountain.’’ It is replete with strong situations, and abounds with comedy through the entire play. The climaxes are very strong and are said to bring tumultous applause from all present. This play has won the highest comments from the press and public wherever it has been produced. The character of Rastus the Colored Gem’n, assumed by Wilbur Mack is said to be one of his strongest roles. Isabel Fenton in the part of Daisy (a child of the the mountain) has met with universal praise for her impersonation of that character. In order to avoid long and tedious waits, specialties will be introduced between the acts. Decatur should show her appreciation of these artists by giving them a full house. Prices 16, 20 and 30 cents, matinee 10 cents to ail parts of the house. Seats on sale at Holthouse. Callow X Co.

SIGSBEE Removing Bodies ot Men Who Went Down With the Maine. Havana, Dec. 18.—The United States battleship Texas, Captain Sigsbee commanding, has arrived here, and Captain Greene, commandant of the naval station, has conferred with Captain Sigsbee with regard to the removal from Colon cemetery of the bodies of the victims of the Maine disaster. The present intention is to remove the remains with as little ceremony as possible. The work of disinterment began this morning. Each coffin will be enclosed in a metal casket and be surrounded by a disinfecting compound. The caskets will be removed during the night to the naval wharf, where they will be under guard until all is ready for removal to the battleship, which it is expected will take place Wednesday night or Thursday at daybreak. The Texas will then leave at once. Father Chadwick will identify the coffins as they are taken from the ground, having a chart showing the exact location of each. SPAIN Premier Silvela Denies lieports of an Alliance With Russia. Madrid, Dec. 18 • —Senor Silvela, the Premier, replying to a question on the subject in the chamber of deputies late Saturday, said the report of an alliance between Spain and Russia based upon the cession of Ceuta, the Spanish seaport town in Morrocco opposite Gibraltar, was without foundation. “Neither now nor in the future,” he declared, “will Spain on any account cede her African possessions.” Whole Country In Rebellion. Sterkstroom, Dec. 18.—As a result of the British reverses the whole country northward is in a rebellion. The natives there, as well as those in Basutoland are said to be much disturbed and losing heart respecting the strengthening of the British. In the theatrical firmament are Wilbur Mack and Isabel Fenton, who appear at Bosse’s opera house, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, Dee. 21, 22, 23 and 24. These artists have surrounded themselves with a competent company, each member being selected for their roles. A well known critic, in speaking of Wilbur Maek and Isabel Fenton, says: Mack and Fenton are a show alone well worth the price of admission they charge. The specialties introduced by them are said to be' thoroughly up to date and first class' in every respect. Other members of | the company appear in specialties ( which are introduced between the acts , and there is hardly a doubt but that the house will be full each night of 1 the company’s engagement. A mat : inee will be given Saturday afternoon. I
