Paris, Aug. 7.? Spanish warships, which were in the
Roadstead in front of Casa Blanca, began a bombardment
of the forts at an early hour.' The rebels returned the
fire from the forts and several French officers and many
men were killed. The Spanish troops were the first to
land and encountered terrific fire from the rebel Moors,
wlio were in ambush. They held their ground and, after
forcing their way inside the walls of the city, a desper
ate battle ensued. The rebels took refuge in houses and
fired on the attacking party from the housetops. No
definite estimate of the number of killed and wounded
can be given.

lONIlilHS OPPORTUNITY TO HTAR
WORTO FAMOUS MLSICAL ARTISTS
Ti-e A'..skan is in receipt of several
letters ai J telegrams, from friends on
the outside who bave heard Adala
Verne and Mrs. Dresser, in which we
are advised by all means to take in the
entertainment. 80 certain Is The Alas
kan that Skagway will be given a real
treat that it advises every one who
can possibly attend this evening's
entertainment to doso. Knglish papers
pay the following high tributes to the
ladies:
"The London Times? At a London
yueeu's Hall Symphony Concert.
. . . but best was Paderewskrs
brilliant "Fantaisie Polonaise," supurb
ly played by Miss Adela Verne, a
pianist who is rapidly outdistancing
the majority of her contemporaries of
the same sf x, by her adequate thech
nichal and superior intellectual read
ings of the many unhackneyed worics
she plays. Here, It is not out of place
to mention her beautiful performance
last Thursday of Cesar Frank's quite
charming and '-atmospheric" sym
phonic variations at the Promenade
Concerts, a work new to London, M.
Dierner h:mself, for whom the yari
ations were written, could not have
played them with more delicacy and
refinement,
Melbourne Star- - Miss Adela Verne,
is without doubt, the star of the com
pany. Ber rendering of Salnt-Saens'
"Conc9rto in G Minor," the orchestral
part or which was played on another
piano by Miss Alice Verne, was a marv
ellous performance, which resulted in a
tripple recall, and a volley of applause
which all but lifted the rcof. It is the
wonderful power of Miss Verne's play
ing that surprises one, her broad grasp
of all difficulties in strong contradis
tinction to the delicate expression and
soft touch displayed in sweetly express
ive numbers. As bus been remarked
in these columns before, Miss Verne
possesses all the nobility of -a woman
and the power of a man.
The Toronto World? What shall we
say of Adela Verne, the so o pianist of
the company? Toronto people bad
heard her before. In her rendition of
Rhapsodie No. 2, by Liszt, she simply
carried the house with her, and an
encore was insisted upon, despite the
gracioua bowing beforehand.
