1 . First of all, the ColiSetun. This iniposing
title—the effect of which Upon the imagina-
I .tion of the distant reader is gratifying to Boa
ton pride—is bestowed upon a large wooden
edifice erected on St. James , Park tv few sods
to the west of the Comracin. Perhaps I ahould
say orer the Fark, for it really teaches beyond
the limits of the enclosure. It is not extraor
dinary, excepting in size. The structure is 500
feet in length anti :300 feet in width, and rums
nearly north- and south. The upright walls
are :36 feet in height, and the apex of the roof
is 100 feet from the ground, or 64 feet higher
than the side walls. - A lean-to roof extending
in from the sides 75 feet, is joined to a truss
roof, which spans the intermediate space of
150 feet. The lean-to roof covers the gallery
at the sides, and in part, of course at the ends.
The acconunodations are divided into a par-
quote and four galleries, or baleonies—the
balconies extending around all four sides of
the building. The parquette occupies only the
space between the galleries, and there are to
be no seats under the balconies. The north or
front balcony is 125 feet deep, and runs down
to the floor of, the - parquette at an inclination
oft, inches hi every 4) inches. The side balconies
arc 75 feet deep, and have the same inclina
tion, their fronts being ten feet from the. par
quette floor. The south balcony' WO feet
I cep. The space (h3voted to the orchestra is
100 feet deep, and 115 feet wide, and is raised
at the front 2 feet and 9 inches above the_par
quette floor—its inclination being one-half an
inch to the foot. From three sides of the or
chestra the chorus seats rise at the same in
clination as those in the other balconies, or 5
inches in every inches. The grand chorus
organ will be played at, the rear of the chorus.
Three stairways, 12 feet wide, lead up to the
orchestra and the chorus balcony. Something
over two-fifths of the *hole building will be
devoted to the chorus and the orchestra—the
(itorus seats extending in the side balconies
beyond the front line of the orchestra.
'I he amount of materials already consumed,
or to•be consumed in the construction of the
C olisieuru, is positively enormous.. It was
FOtrie time, ago'stated that I,7oo,ooofeet of hun
ber wnuld be required. The actual amount is
upward of 2,000,000 feet.: This is'all.Of the best

Iris intended to have this edifiee adorned in
such a manner that the nakedneas of the boards
will be hitlden,anil the eyes of .• the spectators
gratified while their ears are, pleased with: the
Intb;ie. ' The , coiniiiittee in whose bands was
placed the decoration of the Coliseum for the
Peace Jubilee have adopted some very lialuti
ful designs. The proposed plan includes very,
generaindornment of the -interior-of the - Vast
stinetfire in a manner, which shall elaborately,
vet elegantly typify the celebration of Peace:-
National emblinis, and symbols of music and
li:oniony in keeping with the character of the
occat.ion, will be introduced and blended with
. .
-the Emblems ofPerice:'
Upon the inside, abOVe the balconY and in
rear of the grandpromenade,. there will be a
device extending across, three - hundred feet,
from side to side. In the centre, between two
windows, will be a colossal figure, of the Angel
of Peace, thirteen feet in height, bearing an,
olive branch. In the background teeming
harvest fields betoken the return of plenty'
and the peaceful pursuits of huSbandry, while
in the foreground, at the feet of the figure, the
torch of war lies extinguished and the imple
ments of discord and,yrarlike strife are broken
and scattered. Upon either side, between
tither windows, is apaneLwith_varabesque or
naments, and rising above are threegraceful
arches surrounded by elaborate scrollwork,
and surmounted by a larger etch, upon the
face of which the, following motto will be dis
played :
PEACE ON EARTH; GOOD WILL TOWARD lirEIC
Upon the sides, on a line with the front of
the east and west balconies, the decorations
are carried the whole length of , the building.
There are nineteen large trusses supporting
the centre root'. Upon a line, with the .one.
furthest south are the archeS already deicribed
as extending across the central part of the
building, above the chorus Beats. Upon the
outer columns. of the remaining sections of
truss work are trophies, each bearing, in rich
colors, upon a banneret, the coat of arms of
one of the States,
.surmounted by a golden
eagle, American flags depending on either
side. Thirty-six of the States—eighteen on
each side—are thus given a place, while Mas
sachusetts, the thirty-seventh, occupies a place
upon the northern wall, as elsewhere de
-scribed. - EXtending along, upon the same line,
from cohunn to column, are arches of twenty
five feet span, pearl gray in color, with a rich
border fourteen inches broad, of 'gold, blue
and white. Upon the balcony fronts, each di
vision of twenty-five feet forms au arabesque
design on a ground of pearl gray, 'with a bor
der top and bottom, and a valance of blue and
gold. The top rail .of the balcony front will
be covered with crimson velvet. The ceiling
of the balconies Will be covered with red, -
white and blue drapery: ,
Through the central section of the building
are three series of arches; formed of festoons
of red, white and blue drapery,_ caught up in
rosettes at their subdivisions. On each of the
two inner rows of columns there will be a
.trophy of flags and streamers. The trophies'
upon the columns rising from the orchestra
and chorus seats (eight in number) will haire
in their centres medallions bearing the por
traits of eminent composers.
: The Outside of the _building -will also
be deperated. Upon stall's ten feet above the
monitor ventilator, or • one hundred and ten
feet from the ground, • there te . thirty?
seven flags, six feet by fifteen- 7 one for each of
the States—of alternate red, white and blue.
At the-eight angles-of-the: bui)ding-will-bo-as
many large American flags.
' THE ORCHESTRAS.
The instrumental performers in the contem:
plated Festival will be arranged in two orches
tras—one for accompanying thO chorus, the
other forplayinginstramentalmusicalone. The
first is classified as a stringed orchestra, from
the fact that stringed instruments, predominate;
the second . haS _more tunas instruments to give

THE CONDUCTORS.
Not only Is the best talent of the country
enlisted in the - chorus, but some of the ablest
conductors. will lead the mighty hosts during
the week. To conduct such an ,orchestra and
chorus for a week would break down the
strongest man, and I understand that the
services of the following gentlemen have been
secured : Carl Zerrahn, Julius Eichberg,
Charles Koppitz,.„ Max Maretzek„ Theodore
norms, Harvey B. Dothirorth and P. &
Gilmore.
As far as I can learn, Philadelphia will be
represented by about one hundred of her beat
musicians. Ole Bull will play first fiddle at
each concert.
An incitation has been sent to Vienna, to
Strauss, who is.requested to be present with
his grand orchestra. It is very safe to take
heavy bets that Strauss will remain in his dear
native land.
THE CIJOHUE.
The chorus will consist -of ten thousand
voices. The singers were selected from various
New England musical societies, and are all
supposed to he 'completely familiar with the
mimic upon the programme. Many persons
have wondered that so much commonplace
music WEE chosen. This is the reason of it.
As it was quite impossible to have more than
one full rehearsal, it was necessary to make'
selections from well known compositions.
REHEARSAL&
But we have had plenty of smaller rehear
sals. It may truly and literally be said that
"there is music, in the air," for on every public
thoroughfare, in every public halVand in nu
merous private dwellings and general business
headquarters there are . primary rehearsals go,
ing on" day' and night; artillery, wind and
string instruments, anvils and vocal combina
tions are heard everywhere, and there is a
general noise: all around. - -
There was a sort of. general vocal rehearsal
of about 5,000 voices' in the - Music Hall on
Tuesday evening, on which occ&siortJubilee
Gilmore wielded the baton himself. .The re
hearsals 'ivere generally 'confined to the popu
lar national airs, and such strains as "Hail
Columbia," "The Star Spangled Banner" and.
the "Harp that Once Through - Tara's, Halls"
;were among those Which were given more
loudly and more etlectively than . they ever
were before or ever will'be again, except in
the Coliseum .I during.'-the• live eventful days
of the Jubilee. Other pieces were rehearsed
with almost ,equal -, : eidect arid with a.success
fully ; eguaL ~" - ' • '
The singers in the surrounding cities and
towns have had mpnerouis ;"thiociation . ' r+s
- during the past month. or two,
some evening during the present week they
aregoing to assemble in Boston and harmonize
their vocal powers into the same tone of their
associates, and then on the morning pre
ceding e inanguration. of the - Jubilee there
is to be a general rehearsal of tlfe , :.. - Vrole vast
chorus.
THE ORGAN.
I must not forget to mention Hie organ, ch
is now in process of_
_construction by a ell
known builder. Although . this • instru eat
will contain but one rizOtrua/e(iixty-three notes)
End poiale (twenty-sevennoteMand only eleven
speaking stops, it is promised that it shall
make more noise than any other organ in the
world. 'Whether it ,will make good music re
mains to be seen. I have private doubts about it
myself.
SOLO SINGERS.
Adelaide Phillips and Parepa-Rosa will, as
yotralready,knovr, sing several solos. during
the festival The latter estimable lady wrote a
most patifatic and affecting letter in reply to
the imitation to sing. It would have moved
the Committee to tears but for the postscriptal
• announcement that the fair warblerwould re
quire 6500 a day in addition to her patriotic
feelings, as an inducement to sing her Lays.
Miss Phillips displayed less emotion, and, at
the same time,less eagerness for • lucre. She
will get but $3OO for the week's services. Parepa
heartily endorses the sentiment "Let have
Peace, l ' but she lays much stress upon the pre
liminary liminary condition "Let me have Cash."
GLORIFICATION OF BOSTON:
lAA I don't blame her. The whole under
talking is a big pecuniary speculation, and as
eerybody else is to make money by it, she is
just as well entitled to be paid as'the „rest. In
the first Place; this jubilee adVertises the city
of Boston as it was!never advertised before.
Then it advertises all the individuals connected
with the enterprise. The organ is built by a
Boston man; so is the piano;so is the Coliseum.
The latter is made of Boston lumber, fastened
by Boston nails, trimmed with Boston dry
goods, painted by Boston painters; and the
name of' every person or firm furnishing ma
terial or supplies, or performing work, is bla
zoned forth in big letters all over the continent.
The town will be crowded for two weeks.with _
strangers, whO Will spend an enormous amount
of money, and a rich, immediate harvest will
be reaped by every 'Bostonian, froth the. hotel
keepers to the apple women' on the corners.
Of course you and:l know that the affair was
called a - "Yeace" jubilee, to give it a 'national
character. It is simply a big job—a splendid
one, doubtlekand, splendidly executed, . but
nevertheless a downright - calculation that the
expenditure of so much money, and so much
pains, will produce,magnificent pecuniary re
sults. Jonx QUILL.

'the Great Philanthropist on American
and British Relations.
A reporter, of the,.N. Y. World has had a talk)
with Mr. George Peabody. We give some ex
tracts from his account :
To the inquiry, "What was and is the aver
age opinion of Englishstatesmen and the Eng
gush people of the merits of the present ques
tion between the United States and Great
Britain?" he responded:
"Well, at first, men in England accepted
Sunnier's speech.aS the utterance, as it were j
of 'a man behind the throne.' They supposed
that he spoke not only on behalf of the Senate
and the Radical party here, but as a mouth
piece of the administration itself. 'This you
Know, because you have seen the evidence of
it in tlie London newspapers, and because it
has infected all the telegrams which have been
sent from London across the Atlantic."
"Mr. Sumner's speech was, then, a surprise
in England ?"
"A surprise, , certainly; though they were
prepared for some such expression by the re
jection of the Johnson-Stanley treaty. Upon
that treaty all England was willing enough to
stand. It had been long considered—discussed
in the most public way, so that everybody un
derstood what it Was. It offended very few
people ' and there was a strong hope—largely
clue to Air. Joluison's confidence in the matter
—that the Senate-would contirm it." ______
all the loud talk by the English press
mere sham talk?"
"Oh, no; it wasn't altogether intended for
that, be sure, It was in good part and faith
the interpretation of the real feeling of Eng
lishmen. When you touch an Englishman's
sense 'of honor, personal or national, you touch
him in the tenderest place. HO resents it.
Every man in England would have been will
ing to resent, to the extremity of war, the de
mand which Sumner sought to get, the admin
istration to enforce. Mr. Briht, who was the
last manl saw in London before I left (he
lunched with me at two o'clockand T left_at_
- five)conlirmed - mifiri — tlili - impression. And
there is no one there who has at more earnest
affection for this country than has Mr. Bright.
Neither he nor any Englisman could accept,
the preposterous theory of Sumner."
"So Mr. Sumner, as I anticipate, has Ceased
to be the recognized expositor of American
opinion, in England."
"Decidedly. His 'Speech, up to the time
when I left had• come to be , regarded as
speech made . more - for" - 'buncombe' than fbr -
anything else. It was pretty well accepted as
a bid by Sumner for popularity. The disclaim
ers of the American press have produced a re
action. Several of the most eminent repro
sentative men in England, associated with
every phase of politics there, whom I met, and
who addressed ins in writing betbre my de
partnre,, assured me of their conviction that,
Sumner's logic wouldnot convince the majority
on either side of the• Atlantic."
"Wiih this conviction, what is the present
,attitude of the British government , and the
English people?" , •
"They fold their arms. They 'rest, on their
.oars!. They considered that the 'Johnson'.
Stanley treaty conceded everything that Great'
Britain ought to concede. They will go . no'
further in the way of concession They trust
that the United States government will 'go
no further hi the way of denmuls..; They luwe
no sympathy' with the , Radical Party in, this
country (I speal of the majority, of giuglish-

sign; or give in to the volunteers. His 'be
havionnid the trying circumstanees On Tues
day night was such as befitted a brave soldier,
and ,he , only gave .in -when 'he realized that
further resistance could only, result in blood! ,
shed and the murder ..vol . innocent persons
Twice he gave the order to one of the staff of
ricers to fire on the volunteers assembled be ,
fore the Police, but that officer. knowing that
the result of the first shot would' be an indis
criminate massacre of allpersona within the
palace, wisely refrained from doing ao.'
Duke remarked : ~ Tids• cowardly rabble
knows‘well that I am.: a very sick man, too
sick to mount a horse. With one hundred
trinity. guards I could make all' of them run."
Duke undoubtedly was right when he said
this.' The elation of the volunteers has' abated '
considerably since-Wednesday, and to-daY
they are as tame_as kittens. To their praise,
however,it must be saidthat theyaccomlished
the revolution and its object without - com
mitting the slightest depredation or insulting
any one.. The whole city was perfectly quiet,
and ever the most notorious ifyiiipatitiZers
with' the, revolution could-pass where . the
lirohinteers were asseinbled Without be
ing even spoken to. Not a :Shot was
fired, and after 11 o'clock on Thursday night
the streets were as deserted as on any other
night, excepting forthe crowds of volunteers
around the palace. They desired the removal
of an obnoxious Governor whom they con
sidered the protector of such aman as General
3lodet, whom they accused as a traitor to the
Spanish cause. Since Dulce's abdication he
has not been molested by word or deed; it is
possible, however, that he may receive some
farewell shouts on his departure more forcible

1 - Horrible Atrocities.
From time to time, we, who are not accus
tomed to hear of scenes of barbarism and
Spanish inquisition, are startled by reading
some account of an outrage more than in
human committed by the factions in the field.
There must be some truth in these statements,
although they . do come from partisan sources.
Where there is so much smoke there must be
some lire. I can hardly believe that the fol
lowing account is true; and yet It is published
by eve.r- y journal, and under the authority of
the National Committee of Matanzas, who
vouch for its truth. The Cubans say it is a
base lie, and I sincerely hope that it is. The
following is a correct translation of the origi
nal aseßublished:
Prionte soldiers of the Regiment of Tarra
gona, numbering twenty, were surprised by
the revolutionists of the Pole, Villamil, Ma
rhado and others, numbering 2,000, who sur
rounded the small detaclunent at the Coma de
Cruz, five leagues from Villa Clara, and de
manded their surrender. Captain Mayrano,
their commander, made a speech to Ins sol
diers, and threw himself on the enemy, who
rained a shower of balls upon them, kilhngthe
Captain and fifteen of his band immediately.
Five men with a Lieutenant remained
alive, who, seeing all resistance useless,
hoisted a white flag; a party of insurgents
then came toward' them and immediately
killed them with machetes, opening the bodies
of some, placing a cracker Inside, and then
putting a spoon in their hands. The Lieu
tenant tried to excite their compassion by
telling them that he was a Cuban. These par
ticulars are obtained front two soldiers who
feigned death, and who reached Villa Clara,
where one of them died."
After all these particulars and all the -ap
pearance of veracity this article.contains, your
correspondent still asserts that the whole is
either greatly exaggerated or else untrue,--N.

CUBA,
NEW Your( June 10.—A painful rumor was
circulated in ;his city yesterday that the steam
ship City of Paris (Inman line), whichaailed.
. from this port on SatUrday last, had gone
down; with all on board. Inquiry at the otlice
of the line revealed the fact that the agents
of the vessel had hear `l nothing of
the calamity, and they 'did not .• be
lieVe that any accident had .befallen the fine
steamship. As a great many of the passengers
were residents of this city,. their friends
thronged the ollice of the Comany yesterday;
but generally with the conviction that , some
thoughtless person laid started the cruel story:
liithe evening a number ofdespatches were re
ceived from relatives of passengers residing in
distant parts of the country, but to all the an
swer was given that the latest definitely heard
from' the steamship was that she was having
a prosperos voyage with all on board well.

.SIILITARY TELEGRAPHING. .
The ,perfection to which militar,v signals
have attained was illustrated this afternoon
by an exhibition in flag „and. telegraphic sig
naling, which 'WWI directed by Colonellfichle
and Lieutenant Hosraer. :It consisted of con
' stnicting ,a telegraphic coinnitini'eation: be
tween two points a mile apart, for which
purpose a, portion of a telegraph, field ,train,
wasemployed, 'embracing - three wagons filled,
withiances or poles, wires and electric. bat
teries. Everything about the train was of the
most simple and portable description,. and
suitable for establishing• telegraphic.
communication with the utmost ease and ra
pidity. The batteries were filled with, sul
phate of copper, zinc and moistened sponges,.
compactly packed ,in boxes, and capable of
being readily transported without any injury
to the contents. The insulations Were made
of rubber instead of glass. The drill was a
very interesting 'feature, and afforded evidence
that the Academy keeps up with military pro
gress.- The telegraph, was erected at &rate of
over three miles an hotr, and messages. were
forwarded and received with the utmost,
promptitude.—N. Y. Times.
