heroes, and the women whose names
recall the statues We have learned to
admire in our museums must be as
statuesque as their prototypes. The
author has followed the main line of the
Trachiniae, but he has thought to i'm
prove on Sophocles' tragedy by repre-
senting Philoctetes as in love ana loved
by Iole. The captive is told by the
jealous Hercules that. she can only
save her lovers life by consenting to
be the bride of Alemena's son. The
strength of Dejanire's motives IS thus
enhanced She. therefore. hands to
Iole the tunic of Nessus, bidding her
offer it to Hercules as a wedding gift.
No sooner has he put it on and ap-
preached the sacrificial ira than the
clinging garment bursts into flames,
and the hero, to end his torments, casts
himself upon the funeral pyre. The
incidental music, written by NJ. Saint
Saens, comprises fifteen numbers of
varying importance"
Some very important improvements
are TO be made in Covent Garden The
ater, London. The roof of the great
stage is to be raised, and an installa-
ton of machinery for the working OF
the scenes is to be introduced. The
model of the famous stage Of the Mu-
mich Theater has been followed. and
Covent Garden will be the first play
house in London to be equipped with
the mechanical stage in the fashion

troupe are Louis Martenitti, acrobatic
comedian; Eva Tanquary, petite sing
ing and dancing soubrette: Knox Will

clan; Fed Walz, character actor; E. S.
Mawry. eccentric comedian: Amiee
Bernard, the original Coal Black
Lady; Bickwell & Haight, novelty
team; Lillian Ordell and Julie Taylor,
chansonettes. and a strong chorus.
Friday next at the Clunie will be pre-
sented Callahan's new production "A
Romance Of Coon Hollow" 1t comes
from the Fourteenth-stree Theater,
New York, where it is represented as
scoring a decided success, as also in
Boston and Philadelphia and the West.
All the scenery and effects in large
quantity are carried by the company.
In the troupe is a group of colored
singers and dancers, THE Coon Hollow
Serenaders'' The plot is said to be
natural, vigorous, with a deal of senti-
ment and humor and many we'll sus-
tanned characters.
January 18th has been taken as the
date, and the Clunie as the place, when
Sig. Abramoff, basso- -cantata. will give
an operatic and concert entertainment.
The talent employed will be his Sacra-
mento pupils in concert work, with Sig.

soprano, one OF PATHS lead soprano
corps. These will give in costume and
with appropriate scenery an act from
Romeo and Juliet and the fifth
act from Faust" The first has never
been sung in Sacramento.
San Francisco Music and Drama
Players whose work on the stage ere
ates no excitement, If. indeed, it |:
noticed at all by the critics of tn:
daily press, have only to resign or be
discharged from a company to have
their private affairs fioridly embel'
lished and printed by the ubiquitous
reporter. 1t is a dangerous thing to
refuse to give the interviewer any in
formation, for he can generally write
a story so much worse than the truth
that the victim would do better te
make a clean breast of it at once.
Gerome Helmont, the famous boy vi
olinist, although only IA years of age
is one of the musical wonders of the
day Since bis fifth year, when he
first began to scratch upon an old vio'
lin, his happiest moments have been
spent in practice and study. His fam
work until he was placed with Musin
the celebrated virtuoso,I who has made
young HelmOnt the greatest player OF
his years. Victor Thrane, who is al
ways looking up musical wonders, and
has brought many great artists to this
coast, secured Gerome, and he is now
one of the leading musical attractions
before the public. The wonderful vio-
linist will be assisted by Lillian APPEL
the noted pianiste, and Grace Preston
a fine contralto vocalist.
Willie Collier is said to be supported
this season by a stronger company,
and his production of THE Man From
Mexico a bigger winner than ever.
The pleasing announcement is made
that A w. Pinero has promised to
write a new farce, which will be pro-
duced in London in due season by Mr..
Chudleigh. Of course it will find its
way across the Atlantic sooner or later,
and some hours of genuine amusement
may be confidently expected.
Apropos of the success which Nine.
Calve has recently gained in ''Sapho, -
somebody has unearthed the criticism
written of her on her debut in Brussels
as Marguerite, on September -, 1881.
She was recognized as a promising ar
tist, but she was accused of ''gauch-
erie" and evidently was an inexper-
fenced actress. She was said to be best
in the garden and at her feeblest in the
church scene. The facts are now just
the other way.
A recent attempt to revive the old
Greek classic drama at the Paris
Odeon appears to have been a failure.
The piece was the "Dejanire'' of Louis
Gallet, with special music by Saint
Saens. Writing of the performance, a
correspondent of an English paper
says: with the exception of Madame
SECOND Weber, who undertook the part
of Iole, and whose fine features and
deep toned voice are we'll suited for
the delineation of tragic characters, the
actors and actresses engaged were
scarcely up to the mark, and the mise
en- scene left much to be desired. 1t
may be that we expect more in classic
than in ordinary drama. But this can
not be helped. The men who imper-
senate heroic characters must look like

SUSPENDED CUBAN MOVEMENT.
Orders Issued to Gen. Miles to Hold the
Invading Army Until Naval
Battle Is Fought.

Battle Is Fought.
WASHINGTON. Direct orders were
given General Miles Friday morning
suspending for the present the move
ment of the invading army upon Cuba
General Miles, therefore, has post
poned his departure for the south, and
1T is announced authoritatively by war
department officials that it cannot be
stated with de6niteness when General
Miles will leave.
The suspension of the movement of
the invading army upon Cuba was in
duced by the proximity of the Spanish
Cape Verde squadron to Cuban waters.
1t is deemed by the department to be
the part of wisdom not to risk the
landing Of troops on Cuban soil until
the landing can be effected under the
protection of stronger feet than is
now available for the purpose of pro-
tection.
The fact that the army movement
has been postponed is indirect evil
dence that decisive naval battle is
expected to occur within few days.
It is not doubted that the squadron
under the command Of Admiral Samp-
son will seek an engagement with the
Spanish fleet at once, and it is with
the idea of waiting the result of that
contest that the orders for land forces
are held in allegiance temporarily.

Spain.s Loss ut Manila.

Spain's loss in ships as the result OF
the battle of Manila, it is figured, ag-
gregates 81, 700, 900. Estimated at
their market value, which is much less
than Spain paid for them, the figures
in round numbers are: Don Juan de
Austria, 81, ,O0O,0 900; Reina Christina,
81 900, 900; Isle de Luzon, 5000, 900;
Y Yelasco, $500, 900; Castillo, $500, 900;

de Cuba, 5000, 900; Isla de Mindanao,
800. 900 and others, 81, 900, 900. This
loss. however, is small in comparison
with the destruction of life and the
loss Of the islands and the rich revenue
they have been paying to the Madrid
uo5arpmept.

BUSINESS SITUATION IMPROVES
Confident Feeling Pervades the Iron
Trade-OutIooE Flattering.

Bradstreet's trade review says:
The business situation gains rather
than loses in attractiveness as the spring
season advances. While, of course, the
very favorable situation in cereals is
still the handspring of the improve
ment manifesting itself in many Sec
tions of the country, there are other
causes combining to make the outlook
for business for the current year a
flattering one.
Arather more confident feeling seems
to pervade the iron trade, which is re-
Hected in fractional advances for lead
ing makes of iron and steel. Features
of the week are very heavy sales of
pig iron at many markets, but it is
again claimed that stocks have begun
to accumulate at some points as a re-
suit of the continued enormous pro-
duction, which is placed at 100000
tons per month.
The price situation is still one of
great strength, but particularly so in
food products, which are, with few ex-
ceptions, notably coffee and sugar,
higher on the week.
Wheat exports were 3, 682, 543 bushels
against 2, 923, 775 bushels last week and
2,183, 900 bushels a year ago. Corn
exports were 6,O77. 900 bushels, nearly
twice that of year ago. Failures in
the United States were $50 against 251
O year ago.

Orders to Merritt.

The United States will establish a
military government over the Philip
pine Islands. Orders have been is
sued for Major General Wesley Mer-
ritt, now commanding the Depart
ment of the East at New York, to pro-
ceed to Manila with the least possible
delay for the purpose of assuming
the Office of military governor of the
Philippines.
Major General E. S. Otis will be
second in command.
Orders were also issued for the Or
ganization of an army corps of about
1900 men for immediate duty in the
Philippine Islands. This corps will
be made up of regulars and volunteer
organizations stationed on the Pacific
coast and in the far Western states.

AMERICANS REPULSED
At Cienfuegos With Heavy Loss, says
Spanish Account of the Battle.

At Cienfuegos With Heavy Loss, Says a
Spanish Account of the Battle.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived from Havana via Madrid:
early Wednesday morning war
ships fred repeated cannon shots at
Cienfuegos. In the meanwhile several
steamboats,, towing eight large boats
loaded with arms and ammunition for
the rebels, appeared off the shore.
Several battalions of infantry drawn
up on the seashore fred upon the
boats, which speedily retreated. At
the same time the batteries of the fort
and others along the coast fired upon
the Americans, who retreated, but
again attempted to make a landing on
the banks of the river Tremao. The
Spaniards again repulsed them by hot
volleys, inAicting heavy losses. Four
teen Spaniards were wounded. /"
