Kingston, JAM, June 14.-The auxil-
larry gunboat Vixen has succeeded in
landing forty rifles, five tons of pro-
visions and $4,000 rounds Of ammuni-
ton for the insurgents at Asserado.
Spanish cavalry interefered with the
work and the Vixen's shells did great
execution among them. Asserado is
small village on the southeastern
coast Of Cuba. 1t is about as far to the
west of Santiago de Cuba as Guantan-
amo, where $50 marines landed, is to
the east. From the fact that operations
are being carried on at these places on

that Admiral Simpsons feet is patroll-

that Spain must take an offensive
course and invade the United States or

the rest of the nation will probably

glass, in windows or lanterns. A

with heavy burden will return to his
point Of departure without having
broken his fast, in order to save the
two cents his breakfast would have
cost away from home. Nothing Is
more curious than to see them eat. nj
though, with their famous chopsticks
they do not perform all the wonderful
feats generally supposed. Everything
Is served them in bowls or sauces. and
with the chopsticks they raise the
pieces of meat or fish to the month
with sufficient grace. Each one has
a bowl Of rice, which he hold near his
lips, and with the aid of the chopsticks
he pushes the contents into his month
1t Is curious to see them pick up WITH
their chopsticks the grains Of rice that
fall on the ground. The children arc
taught this art from their earl,ast
years; nothing must be lost NOT oven
the smallest grain.

and did nothing else; there was only
one quicker way to stop a train, and
that was to run into something. They
agreed that upon reversing, the back
pressure in the cylinders was so great
as to lock the drivers and cause them

of the locomotive. Neither did they

A report Of general interest and value
In the economic world is that of the
department Of labor In France, re-
Gently issued. The report fills four
good-sized volumes and treats exhaus-
lively upon several of the subjects
covered by 1t. Perhaps the most sig
niacant bearing of the report is upon
the Industrial condition of France in
connection with Its almost stationary
population and the tendency Of the
latter, as in America, England. Ger
many and Russia, to drift toward the
cities. France, unlike Germany and
most other European countries which
are rapidly increasing in population
had only 3S,45O.O00 In 1892. as com
pared with 34,1T4,O0O IN 1S4O-an in.
crease Of only one-elghth. But in this
interval Of fifty-twO years its miles OK
railway increased from $50 to $4,000
and the number OF passengers carried
upon them from 100000 to 2sS, 0OO,-
600. During the same period the num-
Der Of letters and postal cards increased
from 47,0OO.OOO to i,S5O.OOO.OOO. The
imports also Increased about nve-fold.
Its exports fourfold, and the yield Of
its iron mines about skiold, while the
production OF sugar Increased about
seveuteenfOld This slackening of pop
ulatlon and increase Of production Of
all kinds In industry have had two
great results. The French laborer re
celves more for his toll and lives bet
ter prOportionately than the laborer Of
fifty years ago. Thus In 1905 the
daily wage In France, outside Of Paris
and its environs. was Ala cents for
men and 2O.4 cents for women. The
tables show a gradual rise in wages
until IN 1915 men received on an aver
age OF 7S cents and women 43 cents per
day. The relative inferiority Of wo-
mems wages remains, as In 1910. about
one-half that Of men. Even where wo-
men are employed side by side with
men and do the same work they do not
receive the same wages, showing that
sex is the determining factor.
