The young Empress of Russia cannot
prevent the ladies of her Court smok-
ing, but she has begged they will not
do SO in her presence, wherever she
may be. The Paris Liberte says the
Empress Dowager, the Queen of italy,
the Queen Regent Of Spain. the En-
press of Austria, the Queen OF Rou-
mania, and the Queen of Portugal all
smoke cigarettes. The Paris CORE
spondent Of the Daily News says he
knows the Queen Regent does not, and
he doubts whether the Empress Dow
ager Of Russia does. But the cigar
cite is now the fine lady's companion.
Cigarettes are served as regularly as
coffee after dinner in French houses
that go in for up-to-date style Cycling
has worked with fashion. In the
cycling costumes for ladies one now
usually sees pocket for the cigarette
case.

-cHlNA's TROOPS DEFEATED.
Report of BATTLE Near Woo Chow with
Rebel Army.

The defeat of the Chinasa imperial
troops near Woo haH irmed.
Thousands of bod recov-
cred from the river and nave been bur-
led at Woo Chow. The losses of the
imperial forces are probably more than
1900 killed, which was the number at
first announced.
1t is reported that the Chinese doctor
Sun Vat Sen, who was inveigled into
the Chinese embassy in London on 1897
and imprisoned there until he succeed
ed in notifying the British government
officials, through friend, that he had
been Kidnapped, is among the leaders
of the present rebellion.
1t is said the rebels have decided not
to advance further than Shue Hing.
above Sanms Hui, fearing foreign COM
pMcations in the event of Canton being
attacked. The credibility of this re-
port is questioned, as the inhabitants
of Canton are greatly in sympathy with
the rebels.
Constitutional principles are being
fought for in China, and the imperial
lists are suffering heavily. DR.. Sun Vat
Sen, who was kidnapped by the officials
of the Chinese legation in London in
1896, is one of the rebel leaders, He
was leader of the conspiracy at Can
ton in October. 1895. to establish a
constitution in China.
Upon the fall of his revolutionary
party Sun Vat Sen escaped from the
empire. Appearing in London in 1897,
he was secretly inveigled into the. Chi
nese embassy. A friend notified the
English government that he doctor was
forcibly imprisoned and the Marquis of
Salisbury ordered his immediate re-
lease.
Sun Vat Sen is a member of the
Hing Chung Wooy, or Chinese Pro-
gressive Society This organization has
a powerful following in the United
States The American government IS
the model from which its members seek
to establish constitutional government
at home. The society has its center at
San Francisco and headquarters in
New York and other American cities.
It's principal leaders are graduates of
Yale, Harvard and other universities.
The chief object of Sun Vat Sen in
the presents insurrection is identical
with the aims of the Hing Chung
Weoy, which seeks the overthrow of
the existing government in China and
the substitution of republican form.

First Lieut.. w. H. WaSSell, Twenty

Wassell of Pittsburg, says:

afternoon of July 1 while storming FL
Caney, northeast of Santiago. I was
looking through field glasses at the
time and the ball cut through the outer
part of the little finger of the left hand

the palm of my hand, out just below
the index finger, then in the cheek
about half an inch from the left COR
ner of my mouth, taking several back
teeth, downward through my neck,
still downward and towards my spine,
coming out about half way down my
back, and about four inches from the
spine. I haven't bone broken. I can
now swallow, and, thank God, I am
strong and, aside from possible scar,
I will be no worse off,
st will never forget the sensation Of
being shot. We had been under fire all
day-the hottest rain of bullets that
men ever went up against. The Span
iards were all intrenched. They shot

blockhouses, trees. and church towers.

Port Rico Comes Next.

An early sequence of the surrender
of Santiago and the eastern end Of
Cuba will be the invasion Of Porto Rico
with a military force almost entirely
composed of fresh troops from the Uni
ted States. This means a radical
change of policy on the part of the
army, for it was expected that the
movement against Porto Rico would
be made by regiments now engaged in
the Santiago campaign. 1t was antici-
pated that only a few organizations of
soldiers would be sent to Porto Rico
from the department of the Gulf The
government relied on the expected sea-
soned character of the Santiago troops
and 1t could not be foreseen that the
health Of the men would become so i'm
paired in the short campaign in south
eastern Cuba as to render them unfit
for duty in Porto Rico It is the pres
emit intention of the war department TO
send one army corps from the Florida
coast to participate in the Porto Rico
campaign, and to maintain the Fifth
corps under General Shafter in San
fiago province for the present. At
least two regiments Of i1nmunes will be
sent to garrison the city of Santiago
Major General John R. Brooke, COM
manding the First army corps, has
been summoned to Washington to con-
suit With the war department officials
in regard to the Porto Rico expedition,
and he will unquestionably be placed
second in command to Major General
Miles in the invasion of the island The
First army corps will compose the bulk
of the invading force. The president
and secretary of war are disinclined
to use a single man from Santiago in
the Porto Rico campaign, on account
OF the danger of spreading yellow fever
among the other troops. It is proba-
BILE, however, that several batteries of
artillery from the regular army forces
now in Santiago will be detailed for
the Porto Rico expedition. There are
very few batteries of artillery left in
the United States and the large guns
are considered absolutely necessary for
the subjugation of the Spanish garri-
son in San Juan and the other Porto
Rico towns.
The government has available, be-
sides the troops assigned to department
commanders, for coast defence and
reserve, about ninety thousand men
for active service. Of these twenty
thousand at Tampa, forty thousand at
chickamauga, six thousand at Miami,
eleven thousand at Jacksonville and
fifteen thousand at Camp Alger, Va.

WOOD PEDDLERs.
They Play the Farmer Dodge and
Avoid Paying Licenses.

The regular wood dealers Of the city
are again doing the kicking act, and ap-
parently with good reason. The trou-
BILE is that persons who have wood
yards just outside the city limits en-
ploy wagons that resemble those used
on ranches, which they load up with
wood and peddle it about the city with
out paying the county license therefor.
The dodge is an old one, for persons
from the country are privileged to haul
their own wood into the city and sell
it wherever possible, free OF license.

planned to the Board of Supervisors

dlers selling wood about the streets

sey why the License Collector did not
arrest the offenders, and the reply was
that he believed that official could not
obtain warrants from the District At
torney.
License Collector Royster was called
in and asked in regard to the matter.
He said he was willing to collect the IL
censes from all peddlers, but for long
time past he had been unable to get
the District Attorney to issue warrants
for the arrest of those refusing to pay
On motion Of Supervisor Curtis, 1t
was decided to request the District At

Next Monday night at the Metrepol-
itan Theater THE Girl From Paris.
Seats will be on sale at the theater TO-
morrow morning The piece ran three
weeks at the Baldwin Theater, San
Francisco, to crowded houses, and in
both London and New York scored
great successes. 1t is a combination of
music, humor and stage effects artisti-
cally blended. 1t is equipped with
the elaborate paraphernalia and extern
sive spectacular scenic arrangements
of an opera, which serves as a setting
for pleasing scenes and situations. 1t
possesses a story Of pure comedy, dain-
tily interspersed with delicate music.
The solos and choruseS have secured
popularity by their peculiarly catchi-
ness, while the ensemble work of the
play, in particular, has received un-
stinted approval Of the people who have
witnessed the presentation of the pro-
duction at the Herald-square Theater
in New York and in all leading cities.
Notwithstanding the great financial
depression that existed In New York
during the past season, the average
receipts of 1.-The Girl From Paris" ex-
ceeded 81 100 a performance through
out it's entire run of 800 nights.
The libretto is by George Dance, one
of the writers Of "The Geisha,'' and the
music is by Ivan Caryll. The piece was
called THE Gay Parisienne' in London,
but to avoid confusion with THE Gay
Parisians" in this country, Mr.. Rice
changed the title to ''The Girl From
Paris"
The piece as it will be presented here
will be practically the same as 1t was
during its New York engagement, being
accompanied with all the stage set
tings, scenery effects and mechanisms
used at the Herald-square Theater The
only changes are those few in the cast
which serve to make the production
stronger than it was previously. Among
