"a C~ontented woman Tonight.

At the Margaret this evening merri-
ment of the highest order OF excellence
will reign. when Hoyt's "A Contented
Woman" will be presented for the fiIst
time in this city.
"A Contented Woman" is an anus
ing satire on the woman in politics. u
teens with bright lines. particularly.
Hoytesque in their sharpness. and the
forcibles of the gentler sex who dabble
I'm politics and advocate the new wo-
man." all satirized with humorous. and
to use a paradoxical expression, kindly
severity. The story is said to be an in
terestlng one, and is founded upon the
law recently passed in some of he. far
Western states, giving women the right
to vote and allowing them to hold
office.
The e are laid in Denver. and
the scenery used i'm the production here
will be the same as used at Hoyt's
tehater. New York. and Is pronounced
the most e~xtravagant ever used in
comedy.
1t is pretty well known raj Mr.. Hoyt
never has a poor cast, and in "A Con
tented Woman he has secured the best
talent possible. which. no doubt. has
made "a Contented Woman" the most
successful cf all the bright comedies
he has turned out.
Miss Belle Archer heads the cast, and
she will be supported by such artists
as Fanny Denham Rouse. Henrietta
Lee. Bonnie Lottie, John l.. Kearn-y.
Arthur Buchonne. C. Il. Morrison. VIII
Granger, Phyllis Young. Lenore Lock-
wood and Eugene Taylor, the beauty
trio. last seasons ~senation with Jack

The brisk demand for seats. and the
forming of several theater parties. in
dictate a royal welcome for "A Con-
tented Woman"

FATAL FLAMES.
Three Lives Lost and Many Injured in the
Burning of Pittsburgh Hotel
Heroic Rescues.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. "a fire,
which broke out in the Hotel Richelieu
at 1915 o'clock yesterday morning, re-
suited in a property loss of only about
$4,000, but three lives were sacrificed
and five people were badly hurt.
The fire originated on the second
floor from an explosion of gas, and
within a few moments the building
was mass of flames and binding
smoke. The noise of the explosion
awakened most of the guests, about
twenty in number, and a frantic flight
for life ensued.
Robert n. Thompson, OF Kalaski,
Mich, a salesman for the Cadillac
Lumber Co., was the means of saving
at least six lives. In the first moments
after the explosion, he rushed into the
hallway of the second floor and STUN
bled over the unconscious form of a
woman, whom he dragged into the re-
ception room. Five others, three men
and two women, who had been turned
back from the stairway by the flames.
were shrieking and fighting for some
exit. Thompson forced them all into
the big room and locked the door.
knowing that it meant death to go
into the hail, he fought the desperate
men back until the arrival of the fire
men. when all were rescued.

A DISPATCH FROM GEN. OTIS.
Evidently Contained Important 1mforma
ton, But the Officials Refused
to Give it Out.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The war de-
partment received another dispatch
yesterday from Ma .-Gen. Otis, COM
manding the United States troops in
the Philippines. The officials observe
unusual reticence with respect to it's
contents, but it is understood that
the information contained is not of an
unfavorable character or such as to
give undue concern to the administra-
ton. So far as the officials are will
ing to admit the dispatch shows no
material change in the conditions ex-
listing at the time of the previous adj
vices.
One cabinet officer last. night said it
contained nothing of a character
alarming, serious or exciting. There
had been no collision with the insur-
gents, he added, and not a shot had
been fired. The dispatch, however, is
believed to have been of sufficient i'm
portance to bring the matter to the
immediate attention of the president.
and Secretary Alger and Adjt.-Gen.
Corbin were in conference some time
during the afternoon, presumably on
the matter. The presidents procla-
nation to the Filipinos had been pub
ished in Manila, but Gen. Otis did not
say to what extent it had been made
known to the inhabitants in the other
parts of the group of islands, nor
whether it had been published at
Iloilo. At the latter place Gen. Miller
has been directed to land troops I'M
der Ills command now on the trans
ports there, but the dispatch from
Gen. Otis did not indicate whether
this had been done or not.

EXCITEMENT AT SANTIAGO.

Santiago de Cuba. Jan. 9.-Senor
Bacardi, the mayor of Santiago, is ca
bling to Havana each day regarding
the situation, explaining that the local
excitement growing out of the pro-
posal of the United States authorities
to concentrate the customs receipts at
Havana, is not allayed and that the
people want provincial and municipal
autonomy.
1t is understood that Gen. Wood.
governor of Santiago, with Gen. Cas-
tillo, will reach the United States on
or before Tuesday next, and arrange
ments have been made for a special
cable service to inform the people here
as to developments after Gen. Woods
arrival in Washington.
Lieut.-Col. Ray reports from Guam
tanamo that a Cuban major a short
time ago took to the woods with sew
eral of his men, became a bandit and
killed FIVE men. The entire band has
been captured, and will be put on
trial.

GEN. OTIS ORDERS.
Must Land Troops Immediately and Take
the City of Iioiio by Force
IL Necessary.

Washington, Jan. "a council Of
war was held at the White House yes
terday afternoon, which was particle
pated in by President Mckinley and
Secretaries Long and Alger.
As a result of the conference inn
perat1ve orders were sent to Gen. Otis
to take possession of Iloilo, by force
if necessary.
This action was deemed necessary,
after the receipt of adyices from Iloilo
saving the insurgents had assumed a
defiant attitude and threatened tic.
burn the town at the firing of the first
shot.
The dispatch from Gen. Otis says
further that Gen. Miller had advised
him that up to last Friday he had been
unable to effect landing. Gen. Mill
Ter had been notified by the insurgents
that the landing of American troops
would be opposed by force.
Scenes of disorder are of daily oc-
currence at Iloilo, and the foreign res
idents have petitioned Gen. Miller to
give them protection.
Gen. Otis also advised the depart
ment that Aguinaldo has issued a
proclamation stating that the insur-
gents had battled for years for their
independence, and the war would be
continued. He accused the American
government of bad faith, and said he
would never consent to American oc-
cupation of the islands.
Deep anxiety is felt by the officials.
and it is now admitted the situation
is serious. The instructions sent
previously to make a peaceable land
ing were at the instance of certain
senators who believed any conflict be-
tween the insurgents and the United
States troops would have an ill effect
upon the ratification of the peace
treaty.
Owing to the embarrassing position
in which the stand assumed by the
insurgents has placed the United
States, peaceful negotiations will
cease, and the city of Iloilo will be
taken by assault if the insurgents re-
fuse to surrender at once.
