Simla, India, June 19.-J n consequence the gravity of the Chinese situation, the Seventh Bengal infantry has been ordered to proceed to HongKong. @ Londog, June 19.—Bussian has demanded taels indemnity for the damage done to th,- Chinese rail* roads iu which Russians are Interested. Washington. June 19,-The actual n<ws of the situation In China was received by tile navy department in two cablegrams, the contents of which were made known. The department received a cablegram from Admiral Remey at Cavite dated the 18th, which informs the department that CoinuAtuder Taussig cables that the Taku forts at the mouth of the river Bop Ho) fired on the foreign gun vessels and surremthred to allied forces on the morning of the 17th. The department has Instructed Admiral Kt u»ptf to eon . cur with the oUier powers in taking all steps necessary to protect all American Int wests. A dispatch from Taussig, dated Che Foo, 17th, says that the Tsku forts fired on foreign vessels at 12:45 in the morning and repoßa tkat the British admiral is at Tien-Tsin. The press dispatch from Manila saying that the Ninth Infantry had been ordered to Manila fc>r service in China, exposed the secret plans of the w;jr department to dispatch troops to the scene of trouble In China. Secret or-' ders were <ent to Gen. MacArthur a few days ago to prepare for ..prompt dispatch <>f troops Taku, but it was not Intended that the matter should become public until the movement was at under way. Now that the matter has leaked out from Manila, the officials of tne war department admit that the administration has concluded to send troops to China for the protection of tiu' llveit and property of. American citizens. WAK AGAINST THE WORLD Such Is the Attitude of China In Picsent Disturbance. London, June 19. — China declared war against the wqrld when the taku forts opened fire upon the international fleet. Tla- accounts of a hat took place are still unsatisfactory. The unofficial narratives, coming by way of Shanghai, vary widely and bear internal evidence of supplementing the main facts with guess work. An Associated Press dispatch from Che Foo. dated yesterday afternoon, says: "The forts on l>oth sides of Taku ar< now occupied. The Chinese opened tire unexpectedly. The casualties to the mixed force wore as follows: Killed— British,* 1; Gordian, 3: Russian. 1: French, 1. Wounded—British, 4; German. 7: Russian. 45: Freii’di. 1. The forts liegan tiring In observance to orders from Pekin, conveyed in a personal edict of the empress dowager, by advice of Kang Y1 (president of the mlufstery of war). Several warships were struck by shells from the 12-inch guns of the.forts. Four hundred Chinese an* reported to have been killed. The Chinese, when retreating, fell into the hands es the Russian land force. Two of the forts were blown up. The 32 warships at Taku aggregated 200.000 tons and carried more than 390 guns.” Tl# fttilure of Admiral Seymour’s column and its retreat to Teintsin increase. it is presumed, she peril of the legations in Pekin, which is still Isolated. although Shanghai forwards Chinese rumors that the legations were attacked by tnobe who wi-re mowed down by machine guns, and also that the members of the legations were massacred. The powers are taking prompt action. Cour thousand German trtxips have been ordered to < hina; 10,000 French troops are walling to emlMitk nt Saigon, capital of French Cochin China; and R-otn 3.990 to 5.990 more Russians have been ordered from Port ArtiMir to Taku. Fran:* Is Concerned. Paris, June In.— The gravity of the situation in China is now fully reAog nlzed, and the Paris morning pap< tW demand energetic steps for the protection of tit# interrats of French citizens. The measures taken by M. Deleasse, the foreign minister, are unanimously approved. but the general feeling-now is that as the Chinese question Is In one aspect exclusively French, the government should demand much more. Communication Reestablished. New York. June IB.—The Central cable office of the Western I nlon Telegraph company yesterday Issued tlie following notice: “Telegraphic communli’ition with Taku and 'lien I sin has been re-established via the Siberian and Helampo route." The Commercial Cable company also made a similar announcement. Pekin Still Silent, Berlin. June 19,-The German foreign office has received no telegraph communication from Pekin for several days, either byway of Russia or any other route. This applies also to all the powers.

® Hunte Life In Porto Hico. To one to tropical conditions the Turnishlng of the Porto Rican home would at first sight seem meager, but it is quite ample. A short j residence will demonstrate that nearly I 500 years of experience with the tin-! pleasant features of life in the West i Indies have been crowned by a sur- j vlval of the fittest in house furnishing as in other matters. Austrian bent wood furnAureand also wickerwork d willow ware constitute the main equipment of the par- j lors and living rooms. Upholstered furniture Is unknown and undesired, little or no attempt being made at decoration except In the matter of embroider' and fine lace work. Hundreds of yards of crochet work are used in the embellishment of a single canopied bed. This work is the chief delkjht of the Porto Rican housewife. The walls are for the most part bare, but here and there a painting of merit may be seen. The sofa pillow is the one great feature of the home. It is everywhere, tn every conceivable size, shape and material. Ferns of gigantic size and exquisite formation, as well as broad spreading palm leaves, are used to festoon the walls and arched doorways. Cut fresh from day to day, they render the dark, cool roofes inviting and attractive. Potted tropical plants in great variety'"abound within and without the house.—Harper’s Bazar. ® ® ® ® A Fisherman's Trick. “One day I was talking fish with a numtier of friends,” said an old fisherman, "and I made a bet that I could catch tyore perch than any other man in thq, party ift a given time. The crowd picked out the most experienced fisherman in the lot, and we set a day to try our luck. The day before the match I got a laißge glass jar, filled it with water and put some minnows in ft. Over the mouth of the jar I put a piece of parchment In which 1 had made some small boles. Then I went to a point just east of the waterworks, picked out a likely spot and sank the Jar in the river, first attaching a cork float to it by which I could locate it next dny. "We went out for the fishing match the following afternoon, and 1 soon found my float and anchored there. The other man located a short distance away, and we began. The perch were just beginning to run, and |p a iittle while I had pulled In 180 perch, while my opponent got only 24. Thfti he gave up. and I won my bet “I showed the boys the trick before we left the fishing ground. You can always in that way make a good catch of fish that will swallow minnows. 7 he sight of the bait In the jar always attracts a crowd of fish and seems to put them in good biting humor.”—Detroit Free Press.

lie Was Very Arcommodatlng, Apropos of the ready comprehension and native wit attributed to the sons of Erin, Patrick’s compliance with the customer’s wish stands out in bold apposition. Patrick was a clerk in a suburban grocery store. It was a busy season and the grocer was waiting upon two or three customers at the same time. He was in a hurry, and everything had to be where he could get it without much trouble or he would be delayed and probably los# money, so when he found that the pound weight was gone be was bothered. “Patrick.” he called out. “where’s the pound weight?” "The pound -.'eight, Is It?" said Patrick complacently. "Sure, an It’s Mlsther Jones has the pound weight.” “Mr. Jones has It? What do you mean by saying that Mr. Jones has the pound weight? 1 thought the pound weight said In the store. How did Mr. Jones get it?” “An shure, didn’t yez tell me to be perlite to the rigular customers?” “Os course.” "Well, thin, Mlslher Jones comes into the store for a pound of Rty. An, says he, whin 1 asked him what quality of tay he would have, ‘Wliativer y»z give me,’ says be, 'give me the weight.’ So 1 put the pound weight in the package with the tay, perlite like, an it’s himself that’s with it.”—Chicago L’ost. j, Adinlrnlty Wenk on Geography, During the Boer war >t 18M tlie admiralty’Was luqH 1, ;t ignorant of the geography of South Africa. The admiral in charge of the fleet at Cape Town received strict orders tliat he was not on any account to bombard the town of Potchefstisbin. Now, a.i I’otchefstroom Is a good many bundled miles froni.Rlie seacoast and lies on the Moot river, which Is barely 209 yards across and dry for three parts of Uie year, this order was superfluous. • During the same period the fleet was at Port Elizabeth, and the admiral headed dispatches to the admiralty from ttiat seaport. By the next mail he again sent but happened to head tliffin Algoa bay. The admiralty cabled out asking him what business tie bad to change the location of the fleet without instructions, sublimely Ignorant of the fact that rort Elizabeth and Algflt bay are one and the same place. By the way. the nAnea Algoa bay and Delagoa bay are derived from the outward and homeward voyages of the old East Indiamen who, on their voyages to Goa, In India, were wont to call nt Port Elizabeth on the outward voyage nnd at Lourenco Marques on the homeward voyage.

It must be remembered that the soldiers are recruited from the wildest tribes In Asia Minor, where woman is considered an Inferior creature, who must give way to man, besides being teamed to avoid him On all possible occasions. One can easily Imagine that such a soldier Is astonished to see a European lady unveiled, boldly expecting him to give way to her or at any rate not avoiding him, and he naturally takes it to be an advance on her part.
