Up to that time the forbidden city had
not been entered by any of the allied
forces. Three of the four gates between
the Chienmen gate and the forbidden city
had been forced the previous day by the
Americans, but then they halted and final
ly withdrew to the first gate, which was
held. Receiving an order from the
commanding officer of marines to
such buildings and quarters as
might be most advantageous for US to hold
and occupy, l moved Immediately with my
company, forced the fourth gate and en-
tered the city. Japanese sentries objected
to our entering, but did not consider their
claim to any control at that point On en-
terinS there was no opposition, the Chinese
having departed, leaving their tents and
banners standing. | put guards on the best
of the buildings and the regimental colors

It's colors there. We remained there from
about $50 to $50 pm. when | received
an order to withdraw and to leave a guard

The Past Two Years Reviewed by
General Davis.

The last general order issuing from the
military department of Porto Rico en-
bodies brief review of the military regime
in the island and General Davis formal
leave taking of his civil and military asso-
ciates in his administration as military
governor of Porto Rico
General Davis takes occasion to tender
his congratulations to the people of Porto
Rico on the fact that their uture destinies
are in their own hands. He states that the
necessity for the presence of a large! MILL
tary force in Porto Rico no longer exists
anu comments upon the fact that more
than half of the troops remaining in the
island are native Porto Ricans. He relates
tina. on October IS, 1893 there was less
than So in the central treasury of the
island. The military governors of Porto
Rico have since disbursed nearly 81 800 900
in carrying on the government. That
amount was collected in the island during
the period of army control and left to ths
treasury OF the inSular government a sub
stantial balance with which to begin its
existence.
In closing, General Davis expresses his
thanks to the people of the island in gen
eral to his associates in civil affairs and
to the officers of his department staff for
tie hearty cooperation and support he re-
ceiVed during his administration of the
affairs of Porto Rico.

SITUATION IN CAPE COLONY.
Correspondents of London NeNyspa-
Eers Kcgnrd 1t as CriticaI

LONDON. December 25.-Tha position of
Cape Colony is hanging in the balance. Ac-
cording to the Morning Posts Cape Town
CORE spondent, everything depends upon
the quantity of ammunition in possession
of the dsoyal Dutch residents, 1,5o0 of
whom have Joined the Beers in the Philips
town district alone. Energetic measures
have been taken to stem the invasion, but
there is unquestionably danger that parties
of Beers will get through into other parts
of the colony and gradually raise the whole
Cape into rebellion. Reinforcements can
arrive none too soon.
Most of the dispatches from Cape Town.
however, describe the raiders doing little
harm and as being rapidly inclossd by Lord
kitchener'S combination. Lord Kitchener
is i'll the heart of the diSaffected districts.
He has the advantage of being personally
acquainted with local conditions. Last
March he supervised the suppression of the
rising which occurred then. He is bringing
down thousands of troops from the north.
The Standards Cape Town correspondent
says the loyalists demand that martial law
shall be proclaimed throughout Cape Col
Ony, but adds: Such step is now i'm
possible, owing to the lack of sufficient
troops to enforce it.
The correspondent of the Daily Mail at
Cape Town says: The pro-Boer press is
singularly quiet. They have been made
uneasy by the promptness and thorough
nsSs Of the military action, but reports
frorr various parts of the western prov
inces fOreshadow perilous possibilities
"a responsible colonist who recently
made tour of the colony declares that 90
per cent of the Dutch are simply waiting
for the appearance of resourceful leader
to rebel"
Civil railway traffic has been suspended
largely in all parts of the colony, and the
movements of both the Beers and the Brit

that it possibly may cause the heart to beat
again after it has once stopped
For several months DR.. Loeb and Prof.
Bingle have conducted a series of scientific
tests TO prove their theory. and today made
public the results they obtained.
In the experimental work, instead of TAX
ing the heart whole, a small strip from
one of the ventricles was used. The blood
was removed and the piece of flesh sus-
pended in different solutions. In this way
their conclusions We're adduced.
Suspended in a solution of sodium chic
ride. the strip of turtles heart began a Sc
ries of beats. Separated from all nerve
connections. the lfeless strip of heart
muscle responded perfectly to the presence
of the salty solution.
For weeks the eXperimenterS worked to
ascertain what properties the salt contained
to cause this rhythmic beating of the heart
that were not possessed by calcium or po-
tassium, the salts of which enter the COM
position of the blood. They found solu-
ton of the problem in the fact that the ac-
tiOn of sodium chloride was due to the pc
cuiar character of sodamJnnus. In maxi
ing the investigation they discovered that a
pure sodium chloride solution was destruc-
tive of heart tissues, and that by mixing
calcium and potassium solutions with the
sodium solutions they found that the poiS-
onous effects of the sodium chloride were
DESTROYED.
