FIRES IN THE PHILIPPINE IsLANDs.-We
have particulars of disastrous fires in and
about Manila in April. The first was the
destruction on Senior Ayala's sugar factory,
godowns and offices at San Miguel, seven
miles from Manila, involving the loss of a
large amount of property. Balinag, one of
the richest, most populsus and industrious
towns of Bulacan, the next province to
Manila, has been reduced to ashes. The fire
commenced in an oil mandatory, and in one
hour 500 houses in the centre of the town
were burnt down, entailing loss of $500, 900.
Scarcely anything was saved by the inhabi-
tants, and the misery and suffering they are
undergoing is indescribable. About the
same date one hundred houses were destroyed
at Nueva Ecija. Several less important fires
are reported.

Mme Pauline Lucca, whom Maretzek and
Jarrett will bring to America early next au-
tumn, is of Jewish parentage, her real name
being Pauline Lucas. She made her debut
at the age of seventeen, as Aennechen in
'Der Freischutz," when her brilliant singing
and animated acting won the public approval
at once. She married the Baron Won Roh-

will sing in opera and concert. In personal
appearance she is described as petite, with a
rounded, graceful figure, large, dark eyes, and
mobile face whose expression varies with
every shade of feeling Her voice is a sopra-

talent is thoroughly original, full Of novel
and striking effects to which she sometimes
sacrifices the music little. As Valentine in
