-HE week has not been notable 10

THE week has not been notable for
novelties; IN fact there was little
or nothing new at any Of the
i show houses; but 1t gave US
few hours of pause in which to
make ready for the opera season and
realize generally how the theatrical
prospects OF San Francisco have loomed
up in as much of the season as has al
ready been accomplished. A year ago
San Francisco was enduring theatrt-
cal famine. There was money in the
town and there were playgoers willing
to spend it; but the attractions were
almost uniformly frivolous, vulgar and
cheap. and the regular old-time patron
of the drama found it to his advantage
to stay home O. nights. For many
months he persisted in staying home;
and even when sane productions were
again in order, 1t took him long time
to exchange his f1reside and book and
slippers for the pleasures of the theater.
But now il would seem that he is COM
pletely won back to his old love. The
manage of the higher-priced theaters
have found uninterrupted prosperity in
the new year. And at the same time
the managers of the lesser houses of
amusement have lost nothing: they
have continued business with pleasure
to their patrons and profit to them
selves. To be sure the Baldwin is
burned and old Morosco's is no more
But the destruction of the Baldwin
merely forced attractions and audiences
TO the California, which before that
time had been anything but a prosper
GUS house; and the closing down Of
.MOrosco's meant the revival of the
Grand Opera House and the prospect
hET fOkaa n1l MIN 1Crfa
on the part of Mr.. MOTosco. The
Orpheum has continued the most popu-
lar and financially fortunate theater in
San Francisco by giving its following
the best possible vaudeville show for
an incredibly cheap admission. The
comic opera and other productions at
the TiVOH have succeeded on similar
lines The Alcazar, which has always
displayed good enterprise in securing
the rights TO fairly new plays, has held
its own faithful clientele and gained
many new friends in the way of former
Morosco patrons. Even the Comedy
Theater with its several disastrous
productions, has managed to keep the
lights lighted and the doors open. It
has endured beyond the most Sanguine
expectations of experts and now seems
TO occupy permanent place in local
theatriCals. And this week the Alham-
bra will be opened as a regular temple
of melOdrama. Include the ChuteS,
which is really a formidable enterprise,
and count on the Grand opera House
and the AlhambTa as already in opera
tion, and you will see that we are sup
porting no less than nine legitimately
organized places of amusement, to say
nothing of an expensive symphony So
ciety and the endless procession of
small concerts. Even with fewer thea
ters-and l fear that at least one of
the cheaper ones will not last-the town
is paying handsome tribute to the men
who furnish its entertainment. In fact
there seems to be a theatrical boom
on the way for San Francisco-a boom
that may ultimately bring US the Met

will turn out numerously to the produc-
tions of higher grade. Even the burn
ing of the Baldwin did not take away
from the success of Secret Service,
which was telegraphed all over the
country. And we will get other big
METROPOLITAN successes just as soon as
they can be spared from New York

uncertainty, but a band of picked play
ers, headed by Henry Miller and Ed
ward Morgan, in the best available
plaVs of the period. In the little Broad
Way offices of New York where all the
seasons are schemed they are beginning
to take US seriously and are Wiling TO
provide US with a clean and moderately
Iiterate drama. And we can thank our
selves for having brought about this
condition 1t was hard on us while the
famine lasted, but our persistent dis
esteem for cocktail carniVals and un-
derclothes orgies masquerading as dra-
matte fare and our cheerful patronage
Of ANYTHING serious or worthy, have
finally won out, and our situation is
now much less remote than the map
would make it out to be, and we are in
the way to have not only a lovely fu-
ture. but a nice new little past. This
Ellis season of grand opera will, from
every indication, be a big pecuniary
success. 1t will be an artistic success,
too, let us hope; but just now it is the
pecuniary part Of 1t that counts most
in our theatrical fortunes. Let Melba
and this company do two weeks of
record business and we have thrown
the Golden Gate wide open for the
greatest shows of the world.

The Alcazar.

Beginning tomorrow evening, Harry
and Edward Paulton's English farce in
three acts, "a Man With a Past" will be
the Alcazar's attraction.
Blanch, the bride, has fad for every
thing which borders upon the sporty"
The only fault that she finds in her hus-
band is that his past is too tame. Before
the couple arrive home from their we'd
ding, trip the husband is approached
quietly by a confidential agent, who in
forms him that his conduct while in India
was such that he is liable to be black
listed from society. Poor Horace Drum
mond denies all charges, but circumstan-
tfal evidence is so strong that he goes to
his senior partner, who Is likewise named
Drummond, and tells OF the accusation.
The mariner to shield himself, has Horace
shoulder the blame and thereby win the
record which his wife so coYets. Horace
consents, and the complications are gay
and numerous.

Hong Kong Filipinos' Bombastic
Charges Against Our OficlaIs.
Hong Kong, Feb. 22.-The following
statement has been issued by the Fill
pino junta here:
Information which hasleaked through
the Pinkertons sent by President McKin-
ley to investigate the shipment of arms
to the Flipinos shows that the first ship.
ments to Aguinaldo were made by order
Of the American government through
Consul Wildman, hence the shipment per
the Wing-Foo. The American govern
ment subsequently telegraphed to cease
this, cOincident with the change OF policy
to annexation. Mr.. Wildman and Rear
Admiral Dewey promised to pay, but
have not yet paid for a subsequent ex-
pedition by the Abbey, authorized by
Admiral Dewey, who afterward seized
the steamer, and she is still held. Pa
pers respecting this are now in the pos
session of the secretary of the navy.
The protestations of Admiral Dewey
and other Americans that they made no
promises are ridiculous. In view of
these facts, let the American people judge
how the nations word OF honor was
pledged to the Filipinos and confided in
by them, and violated by the recent
treachery of General Otis"

spected. They should not be molested
but all other individuals of whatever
race they may be will be extermlnated
without any compassion after the ex-
termination Of the army of occupation.
The defenders of the Philippines in
your command will attack the guard
at Bilibid and liberate the prisoners
and 'presidiarios,' and having accom-
plished this, they will be armed say
ing to them: Brothers, we must
avenge ourselves on the Americans
and exterminate them, that we may
take our revenge for the infamy and
treachery which they have committed
upon us; have no compassion upon
them; attack with vigor. All Filipinos
en- masse will second you Long live
Filipinos independence.
The order which will be followed in
the attack will be as follows: The
sharpshooters of Tondo and Santa Ana

these shots will be the signal for the
militia Of Trozo, Blonde, Quiato and
Sampaloc to go out into the street and
do their duty; those of Pako, Ermita
and Malate, Santa Cruz and San Miguel
will not start out until - o'clock. un-
less they see that their companions

THE militia Of Tondo will start out

us; we know how to die as men, she'd
ding our blood in defense of the lib
erty of our country. Death to the
tyrants.
