The Bulletin critic is of the opinion that
Anna did not come up to the ideal painted
by her advance agents. But he admits that
she is beautiful. Immediately superior in
loveliness to all the actresses that have
been In San Francisco for year. Her
figure Is perfect, put together with the
symmetry of musical composition, light
firm and graceful as that Of a thoroughbred
horse. The curve OF her back is recon-
mended, also the passion and subtlety II
her eyes. Her little, wicked, fascinating
way is a cultivated taste like champagne
unapprehended by the untaught palate.
The Report critic says: ."She, is rather
pretty, sings fairly we'll and does. of
course. all the clever and impertinent bus
mess that goes with the. cafe chantant per.
Torrance. But that she is any more ar
tistic than our best American in what. may
be called the same line, we do not consider.

Alan Dale of the New York Journal. He
says: I'VE all know what ginger means.
Anna Held is not the loveliest thing in the
world. The beauty of her face could be
excelled by a half dozen Totties from any
well regulated chorus. But Miss HID
knows how to manage her eyes and her
figure. She can express great deal. though
she may say very little.'
The first night performance of 1.-The

coed in drawing large attend

the evening the audience was very
slim. This encouraged lounger in
the lobby to ask the manager the question
why the occasion resembled the perform
ance of ashore Acres given recently.
Failing to guess, he was told there was a
light house at one and a.light-house in the
other. And then they smiled.

BURBANK THEATER.- An
nouncement) The Belasco-Thall Stock
company will follow its success with 1.-THE
Girl Left Behind Me- with a farce by Will
liam Gillette, "Too Much Johnson" ia
vorably known here as elsewhere. 1t was
seen in this city about three years ago, but
then at high prices. and this will therefore
be the first production of the play in this
city at prices of admission prevailing at
the Burbank. Gillette's 'Secret Service
was the hit of the London Theatrical sea-
son last year; his Held By The Enemy
had considerable vogue in America for sew

To Correspondents

| ARTHUR ii. NERNON.-He was not
mentioned because he is a product Of a de .

cured by mere censure. The female imper-
senator Is an emasculated creature and is
generally unworthy of association with

nearer he comes to appearing his assumed

DINAH MOORE-If F. Marion Crawford
pronounced 1t "dinner-mite" in his lecture
he did not necessarily refer to ancient
cheese. He meant to say dynamite Even
a genius Is liable to err not to mention Mr.
Crawford.
| AMATEUR.-There is a difference in the
pronunciation of the two words you men,
tierl, which Is seldom recognized on the
stage and not often elsewhere. Luxury is
incorrectly pronounced ''lug-zhu-ri,"

| ELAINE.-The facial makeup, which
consists of heavy black penciling of the
eyebrows, a black coating on each individ-

The Yellow Fever Scare.

The yellow fever bugaboo which
the tories have called to their aid
to frighten our people and keep
them from entering the military
service will not avail. There is no
reason for a panic on this account
and brave men will treat this ex-
pedient with the Indifference
and contempt it deserves.
The story about the fatality Of
yellow fever OH the island of Cuba
has been invented and spread.
by the emissaries of Spain because
they wish and hope that yellow
fever will destroy the American
army when it lands upon the soil
of Cuba.
In the "War between the States"
when General Butler occupied New
Orleans many of the people of the
South said that his army would
be destroyed by yellow fever.
They hoped that this would be go,
but it turned out otherwise. Dur
ing Buffers occupation of the city
but two men diedof yellow fever.
He kept back the disease by clean
ing up the city and keeping it
clean. He sought out the reason
why yellow fever had prevailed;
in New Orleans and concluded that,
it was a combination of typhoid'
and malarial fever.
He removed the cause of typhoid
fever and his soldierswere troubled
with malarial fever or chills and
fever only.
Three things will produce.
yellow fever in Cuba and these are,
decaying animal matter which
will produce TYPHOID fever, decay
ing vegetable matter which will
produce malarial fever, and the
humidity of the atmosphere.
With the present nitary facilities
of the Medical Department of the
United States Army there will be
no difficulty in guarding against
the cause of typhoid fever and the
cause of malarial fever. This
being done there ls no reason why
there should be single death from
yellow fever among the Amer can
soldiers who may invade Cuba.
Besides this it is not likely that
the climate Of Cuba will have any
injurious effect upon the soldiers
until their second season on the
island. It will take the typhoid
and malarial germs that long to
get in their work. If Buffers
soldiers could stand the swamps
of Louisiana and of the gulf coast
there is no reason why our people
cannot stand Cuba.
This yellow fever scare is the
creation of men who think some
EXCUSE is better than none.-Me-
dunn.

Effect Upon Cotton.

Price, Mccormick & Co., of New
York, express their opinion as to
the effect of war upon the cotton
trade as follows:
Much dicussion has arisen as to
the probable effect of war upon
cotton. Close study of precedents
and commercial opinion leads us to
feel that the cotton trade is
generally coming to the conclusion
that the effect of war will be to
advance the price of the article for
the following reasons =
First: Hostilities will interrupt
exports and coast-wise trade. In
consequence foreign consumers
are already buying with except
ionaf freedom of the South. A
continuation of this movement will
still further reduce the remarkably
small stocks remaining at the
South, considering the excep-
tionally large production this
season.
Second: War will inevitably
disorganize negro labor, and
may induce considerable negro
exodus to Cuba. 1t will also
disorganize business and disturb
credit. Consequently the chances
seem to favor a smaller production
next year.
Notwithstanding this seasons
enormous production the worlds
supply is now only about 100000
bales larger than at the same time
last year, and the surplus at the
end of the current crop year, if
the present rate of consumption be
maintained, promises to be even
smaller than that brought forward
into the current season. In
view of the present magnitude OF
the worlds consumptive demands
it is therefore apparent to all that
any influence which will have a
tendency to materially reduce
next seasons yield is bull factor.

base upon which to retire and to
reft.
Probably, therefore, the United
States squadron will be obliged to
make for San Francisco, as the
entrance to Manila bay was heavily
mined with torpedoes.
Dewey Displayed Great Pluck.
Commodore Dewey displayed
great pluck and daring in making
for the inner harbor.
According to private advices
received from Madrid, the United
States cruisers Olympia, Raleigh
and two other vessels, the names
of which are not given, entered
the harbor.
No dispatches give details as to
the vessels actually engaged on
either side.
1t appears to be incorrect that
the American ships finally an
chored behind the merchantmen
on the the east side of the bay, 1t
should be tho west side.
Probabilities point in the direc-
ton of the second engagement
having occurred through the
Spaniards trying to prevent the
landing of the American wounded.
Reliable details cannot be had
until Commodore Dewey's squad
ION is able to communicate NTH
Hong Kong. There is however, a
suspicious frankness about the
Spanish dispatches that savors of
desire to break unpleasant news
to the Spaniard. tits not unlikely
therefore that Commodore Dewey
may be allie to renew that attack.
Admiral Montojo's Report of The
Engagement.
Madrid, via Paris May 2.-The
time of the retreat of the American
squadron behind the merchantmen
was II 80 a. m. The naval bureau
at Manila sends the following
signed "Montojo, admiral":
SIN the middle of the night the
American squadron forced the
forts and before daybreak appeared
off Cavite. The night was COM
pletely dark. At 7:30 o'clock the
bow Of the Reina Maria Christina
took fire and soon after the poop
also was burned. At s o'clock,
with my staff, I went on board the
Isla de Cuba. The Relna Maria
Christina and the Catilla were
then entirely enveloped in famest.
"The other ships having been
damaged, retired in to Baker bay.
Some had to be sunk to prevent
their falling into the hands of the
enemy. The losses are numerous,
notably Captain Cadarso, a priest
and nine other persons.

Spain because Americans were
forced to retire behind merchant
men.
THE VERY LATEST.
London, May 3.--The
Madrid correspondent of the
Times, describing the engage
ment at Manila, says:
"The Olympia, the Boston,
the Raleigh, the Concord, the
Petrol and the Moncacy
entered the bay under cover
of darkness by the smaller
and safer Bocachica channel.
The forts of Corregidor island
gave the alarm by firing on
the intruders, but they seemed
to have inflicted no serious
damage. The American
moved up the bay
and at 3 o'clock in the morning
appeared before Cavite. Here,
lying under the shelter of the
forts, was the Spanish squad
ron.
