PANAMA, March, 3—A serious at- tempt to overturn the Government was made in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, on February 25, resuiting in the shedding of much blood and great alarm by the public. The constitution has been suspended and martial law proclaimed. A rigor- ous censorship was instituted directly after the outbreak, and details are dif- | ficult to secure. | The Herald’s correspondent at San Jose writes via Limon (he not being permitted to cable) to the effect that the revolutionary movement broke out on the morning of February 25, caus- ing great alarm in the cavital. About fifty men armed with revol- | vers and knives made an attack on the rtillery barrac General Velarde. Louis Soto and Senor Quesada, a law- yver, were the leading men. A young lieutenant was at the door with a guard named Frederico J. Velarde, son of General Velarde, who was evidently bought by the revolutionists.

WHEN JOHN PLAYE MERICA'S greatest brass band hero, John Philip Sousa, played in the Al- hambra last night toan audience that would have done Melba honor. The flower, fashion and culture of the com- munity were squeezed into the last avail- D s able Inch of sardine space. Women cheered and brave men stormed with heel hand and the small boy whistled, and the only John Philip and his band played on. There was a set programme, duly print- ed and distributed at the door, but it was almost forgotten In the avilanche of en- cores. The applause could have been heard in Oakland, and the extra pieces came in bunches of threes and fours. Nobody will ever know just how many were played, and Mr. Sousa had poses and gestures to fit every one. Only one thing was wanting to complete | the glory of the night, and that was Mr. Sousa's matchless collection of medal His chest was entirely unprotected, save by his uniform and a medium sized edi- | tion of the American flag, worn just over | the heart. But whatever was lacking in hardware and properties was made up for in action. Mr. Sousa worked as you never saw him work before. He was in perpet- ual pantomime, explaining the most in- volved passages of the music by spellbind- ing delsarte and living pictures. When he played the tremendous scene from “Par- sifal” he illustrated it in slow, procession- al stride. The “‘war time” movement from MacDowell's Indian suite he accompa- nied with J. Fenimore Cooper undula- tions and handswings; and in the ‘‘Geor- PHILIP D THE BAND gia Campmeeting” he offered one of the most graceful suggestions of cake-pedes- trianism that has ever been seen on any stage. And when he played his own marches, those brave Sousa marches that make soldiers of us all, there wasn't a D e Y ] + - L quiet foot nor a still shoulder in the house. As of yore, the trombones and the corne marched down to the front of the stage and blew until the electric lights flickered, and the crowd noised for more and more. But the great climax came at the close of the medley of national airs when the whole band rose to its feet and played to the standing audience “The Star-Span- gled Banner.” Not since Melba sang tnis same song on the night that war was declared with Spain has there been such a demonstration in San Francisco over a patriotic melody. Two pretty young women soloists added sweet sound and picture: puss Maude Reese Davies, who trilled birdily through the “‘Linda’* aria, and Miss Dor- othy Hoyle, who played on the violin the “Gypsy Dances,”. by Natchez, with bril- liant tone and fancy. They, too, were en- cored, as was Herbert L. Clarke, who blew faultfessly a fancy work polka on that not too amiable instrument, the cor- net. Everybody had a good time, and the concert was in every way a success. The band is unquestionably the finest organ- ® * o+ @O+ + 0404000604+ 0 ization of its kind in Amerlca, If not in the world. Every instrument is manned by an expert, and every man is unerr- ingly servant to the will of the leader. It is in truth a perfectly adjusted instru- ment, and it is in the hands of a vir- tuoso. John Philip Sousa is a wonderful actor, but he is also a wonderful band- master. He has smash and feeling and poise, and above all a sense of humor that at times seems to make his music trip in epigrams. In his own composi- tions, especially the marches, he has found expression for the national pepu- lar feeling. Some day he will write tne “Marseillaise” of America. ASHTON STEVENS.
