IN HO Houses Burned and Taken to Stamp HONOLULU, Jan. 1.-Seven additional cases of plague have developed since last advices, making thirteen cases all told to date. Three cases were discovered on the night of the 25th ult, and four cases have been reported during the past forty- eight hours. The Board of Health has decided to take radical stepe to stamp out the scourge. A portion of the infected district was condemned and burned to the ground yes- terday. Three buildings and a large warehouse were destroyed by fire. The future policy of the health authorities will be to destroy all infected bulldings.

Kaual sugar can be shipped from Wali- mea, Maul sugar from Kahulu! and La- haina and Hawall sugar from Hilo and Mahukona. Honolulu being the one in- fected port, it is believed that the Fed- eral authorities will agree to this plan and allow the marketing of the 1599 crop.

It is noted that the cases of plague reported are confined to the na- tive class and it is said that it has been the case in most of the cities of Asia where the disease has appeared. It is no- tably true of Hongkong, where it has ex- isted for many months without caus- ing considerable fatality among the European population. It wr robably from Hongkong that the disease found its way to Manila. The medical officers all along have been on the watch to prevent this, but owing to the closeness of Hong- kong to Manila and the large amount of traffic carried on by native junks and scows the ultimate Introductlon of the | disease into Manila was inevitable. MANILA, Jan. 8—The bubonic plague is yet sporadic. There have been six cases and four deaths. Preparations are being made to establish holrlla.ls and quaran- tine. Great numbers of provincial natives are coming to Manlila, with whom the city | 1s overcrowded, the increase in accommo- dations being inadequate. The rice neces- sary for foodstuffs is more expensive than | &t any period during the last twelve years. The J)luue 1s dangerous to the over- crowded, unfed and unwashed natives and | Chinese.

It is ve- | Ueved that his switching from one order | to_another actuated in part the plot against his life, A rumor was afloat that.Chat was shot at because he gave information in the murder case of the preceding night, but the police are disinclined to accept this as truth. The two men arrested for his | murder at first claimed that they were occupants of the hovse In which they | were captured, but this has been proven | untrue. Chat positively refuses to identify the men or to assist in their conviction. Last night a band of armed highbinders lay in wait for a Chinaman in Spofiord alley. Ofticers Herring, Davids and Con- ner were notified and charged upon the place, but the wily hired murderers had received a tip that they were coming and had made good their escape. Every China- man is being searched, but few carry their weapons around with them on the streets | The members of the respective tongs are banded together in such a way that a bighbinder has but to etep into any house friendly to his tong and claim the use of their weapons when he desires them. It is said by the police that there were fewer Chinamen on th treets last night than on any night since the war began. It is understood that at midnight the highbinders effected a settlement by which they will discontinue hostilities for ia few days, or until after their holidays. VERY CORDIAL WELCOME Smartly Gowned Audience Fills the California Theater. AST night was the first opportunity soclety has had since Meiba be- came a memory to show ftself in all its plumes and plumpness, and it filled the California Theater snugly to welcome Emma Nevada with much applause and many flowers. There would be perhaps a more sincere compli- ment in more of the former and fewer of the latter, but the polite enthusiasm was sufficlent to produce an encore for each number, than which no more could be . No, certainly no more. Bfl}l:‘t;g“ng aside the favorable prevjudh:e that the audience had for Mme. Nevada by reason of her antecedents, her singing would undoubtsdiy have won her hearers and given pleasure to even those most difficult to please. Yet analyzed her volce and method are variously deficlent. Her gifts are not great, nor does she use them greatly, but within her limitations she sings with charm and makes the very ut- most of the powers that she pgss sses. S ot accomplish this, however, 2 times approaches trickery.

The for- mer was particularly interesting in_its modernity and finely rendered. She again ave plcasure in the “Shadow Dance, rom “Dinorah,” though hardly adequate in point of dramatic feeling. Her ren- dering, however, showed school and was Well rounded. The composition itself has e perennial Interest, which cannot be sald of the Bell Song, from “Lakme,” which er first essay. w%“h: encores were of little importance efther in themselves or in her singing of them. They consisted of an English and & German ballad, “Home, Sweet Home, and finally “The Mocking Bird.” I sus- pect strongly that Mme. Nevada sang “The Mocking Bird" when she was grad- uated at Mills College, for it seems to be a favorite of hers, and I can divine no other reason why it should be thus fea- tured by the diva as it was at her con- cert in the Alcazar fitteen years ago and again last night. ‘he pianist of the evening, Selden Platt, is limited in every direction, though par- ticularly I think by his youth.

The Orpheum management presents this week some attractions that prove that there is yet plenty of first-class ma- terfal for first-class vaudeville, the kind that the Orpheum has educated the peo- ple to demand. Among the new comers John and Nellle McCarthy begin the pro- gramme In their entertaining sketch, “The Wall Street Broker,”” which abounds in clever dialogue and comic duets. A new star in the field of dialect appears in Charles A. Gardiner, whose specialty is Tyrolean and Canadian French. The iatter is a novelty and im- mediately “caught on,” the recitation of the hurricane on the lake being an ar- tistic bit of work. Quaint are the Elinor Sisters In George M. Cohan's sketch, “Dangerous Mrs. Delaney.” It 1S refresh- in’fly original, and so are the sisters. he musical success of the evening is Frank Latona, “the musical tramp.’ His performance on the one-stringed violin of “The Miserere’” from “Trovatore” and the intermezzo from ‘‘Cavalleria Rusti- cana’ were loudly encored, and the sama mark of appreciation was shown his playing of “The Holy City” on the slide trombone. Among the favorites of last week are that charming singer and come- dienne, Dorothy Drew, Fougere, Thorne and Carleton in_thelr’ funny skit, “The Intruder,” Billy Rice, the monologist, and the eccentric Rozinos.

It is a clever sketch, full of smart dialogue and humorous situations. The plot_hinges upon the secret engage- ment of Betty Fondacre and Tom Pollin- ger to save Tom from being dlsinherited 3 y his grandmother for marrying till he reached the years of discretion. Tom gets her to assume the name of Mrs. Bugle, and as he is insanely jealous he is con- stantly getting himself and others Into trouble. It of course ends In satisfactory explanations all round. Miss Irene Everett assumed the part or Betty and created a most favorable im- ression. She is a native of this city and 1as been playing successful engagements with Frohman's companfes in the East. She was last here with “The Girl 1 Left Behind Me” company. She has a hand- some stage presence and played her part intelligently and cleverly. At the close of the first act she was called before the | curtain and was the recipient of numerous bouquets. Ernest Hastings as Tom Pol- linger, the jealous lover, was in his ele- ment and was warmly applauded. Frank Denithorne as Allan Fondacre, a journal- ist, and George P. Webster as Samuel Tote, a stockbroker, were good. Frank Opperman made a hit as Chickwell, a re- spectable valet, and Forrest Seabury was equally succestful as Bonaparte, a short- sighted boy. Miss Laura Crews as Julla | Fondacre gave another Instance of her | versatility, and Miss Marie Howe as Mrs. | Louisa Tote was excellent. Grand Opera-House. “Sinbad,” with its catchy musie, jing- ling rhymes and merry wit, continues to charm good audiences at the Grand | Opera-house. Repetition has lessened neither the enthusiasm of the players nor the audlence, and the operetta still goes with all the snap and vigor of the initial production. Columbia. Hall Caine’s masterplece, “The Chris- tlan,” began its last week at the Columbia last night. There was a splendid audience, which thoroughly appreciated the many good points of the play. Tivoll. “Little Bo-Peep” is enjoying a third week at the Tivoll Opera-house, and the interest in that holiday extravaganza has not diminished, judging by the large aud! ence which crowded the theater last evening. Ferris Hartman has & number of new songs and jokes, which are sure to attract attention. The singing, dancers and marches are up to the usual excelle; standard of that popular v\nyhoumf“ e Alhambra. “An Affair of Honor,” which is being produced by the Rentz-Santley Company at the Alhambra, is drawing well. A number of clever specialties are presented that arouse the laughter and applause of the audience. The duel scene which is shown at the conclusion of the perform- ance is realistic. Olympia. The Olympia bill this week is good. Zoyarra, the globe artist, made quite a hit last night. La Mont and his sister were well recelved. Cad Wilson continues in her popularity, and all the other per- formers made favorable Impressions. Chutes. Major Mite proved his versatility at the Chutes theater last night by appearing as { an Irishman, carrying about a pair of Galway whiskers and singing a song about “T'm Done With Carrying the Mor- tar.” He recelved no bricks in exchange, but a number of encores. The Columbian Four made thelr first appearance in San Francisco and scored a hit. Harry De Lain, the high barytone, n'Fgesred as a French chanteuse. Claude ardo told a lot of new stories and sang several new songs, and the rest of the bill was excel- lent. —_—— The Right Place. | argument S B = oy = for = | Jt:d collars, for ages 4 to 12 years. i3] == . s boys’ shirt waists = B you won't find these anywhere E ;‘I__B" else. our buyer was ambitious B #—: and gobbled up all that were of- A .Ig- fered. we have them in 3 lots— oy B! fancy striped and checked in light, =g B! medium and dark colors, nicely __I_'B.
