THE SITUATION IN CHINA.
Admiral Seymour, in Command of Allied
 Forces. Unable to Reach Pekin.

Forces, Unable to Reach Pekin. A representative of the Associat- ed Press cables from Paris that as result of negotiations between the powers an agreement has been ar- rived at providing for the mainten- ance of the statu quo in China. According to the understanding the international army of occupation will consist of sO,0O0 men. Russia and Japan will provide 12,O00 each. Great Britain will provide 10000 men, France 5000 and Germany, America and the other powers D. 900 each.
 In dispatch June 30th, British Admiral Seymour, in command of the allied forces in their advance toward Pekin, gives an account of the hard fighting of the troops. On | June 18th two attacks were made on the advance guard by the Boxers. who were repulsed with considerable loss to them and none on the side of the allied forces. On June 14th the Boxers attacked the train at Lang Yung, leaving 100 killed. In this engagement five Italians were killed. On the 14th the troops pushed on to Anting, twelve miles from Pekin, where the enemy was found in force. During the days fighting 175 Boxers were slain. | A further advance toward Pekin by rail being impossible on account of the road having been destroyed, on June 16th Admiral Seymour or dered a retreat to Yang Tsung. During the retreat two rear trains were attacked by Boxers and impe- rial troops from Pekin, who lost from 400 to 500 killed. The allied forces lost six killed and AS wound ed.
 Finding the railway destroyed in their rear, it was decided to with draw on Tien Tsin June 18th by boat, the forces marching along sids the river. Opposition was met dur ing the course of the whole trip. By making night march the troops ar- rived at daybreak June 23d oppo- site the imperial armory few miles above Tien Tsin, where, after friendly advances, treacherous heavy fire was opened by the Chi nese The allied forces succeeded in silencing a number of Chinese guns, and by storming the armory succeeded in taking and holding it. Admiral Seymour states that, having found ammunition and rice, his forces could have held out against the enemy for several days, but being hampered with large numbers of woynded, he sent to Tien 'Tsin for relieving force, which arrived on the morning of June 25th.
 The armory was evacuated and burned, the troops arriving at Tien Tsin June 26th
 | Admiral Seymour reported that no authentic news had been receiv- |
 ed up to June 30th as to the where abouts of the members of the lega- tions, although abundant reports from Chinese sources say that they were safe a few days ago. | The casualties of the allied fore es, up to June 30th, as cabled the war department were:
 British--Killed, 27; wounded, 75.
 Americans-Killed, 4; wounded, 25.
 French-Killed, 1; wounded, 10.

|BATAMGAs BEAUTIES.
Ionway Boy Writes About the { Magnificent Scenery of the
 Island of Luzon.

Hatamgas, F. l., May 20, goo.
 At last we are bivouaced in for a breathing spell on the shores of the beautiful bay of Bataihgas, nestled at the base of a range of evergreen mountains, out of whose sides come gushing rills of purest water. Here we rest in complete seclu- sion with abundance of material to shine our weather beaten rifles, that have been exposed while out on our expedition.
 There is nothing to compare with this much favored corner of the universe as the beauties of this city, surrounded by mountains at whose bases in every detail rivals in beauty the most picturesque hills of Switzerland. At the foot of these mountains flow streams of crystal water, whose fountain head is perhaps only rifle shot away.
 The public square..is oblong with a grandstand in the center and sur rounded by tract of evergreen flowers, whose blossoms know not the killing sting of Jack frost. On the south side stands the Castilian devotion doors. These doors are guarded by a large wooden cross and whose sides are braced and pillowed after the style of the old fashioned stone bridge Here all most daily gather the simple mind ed natives, who bow down on the stone floors and pour out their many secret thoughts. In the center of this plaza stands a great monument with a golden cross and bearing the imposing name of the square or plaza de independiancia (place of independence). How strange this seems to appear in 8 land where the people have never enjoyed the sweet blessings that can be had from independence.
 On all the surrounding hills and extending down to the water edge are trees that bear fruits oi every description of a tropical na- ture, which busy hands are contin- ually gathering and preparing foi the market, of which the American soldiers consume the greater half Corn, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and pepper and an end less number of native vegetables can be found. The principal ex- ports are sugar and hemp. Ba- nanas are consumed in local mar kets. Coffee fields are also found n the interior.
 Along the main streets of the town in almost every building is a dwell ng with the lower floor de voted 60 the purpose of trade. A single window with bamboo shut ters feet long and 4 feet wide opens upon the street. From this the goods are displayed.
 When a storm approaches we see a different background Earth, sea and sky seem to meet and with an imated fury, burst upon the little valley, where nestles beautiful Ba- tamgas. The sea groans and the hills tremble and send down the grooves in their sides torrents of rushing and bursting foam from the steep banks and overhanging rocks great cakes of earth slide down the hills and twisting winds wind UP the ample foliage of the forest making monkeys hunt their holes and American soldiers think of the happy days to come.

twenty new waist materials, all mani
testify for the fashioning of waists
alone, and not skirts: and, besides the
fabrics themselves, there are dozens of
trimmings that come for waists only
and are scarcely used at all upon skirts
Take so simple a thing as lace cloth
and note how seldom it is employed for
skirt materials. Its use is plainly for
the bodice; and you find it exclusively
made into shirts, boleros and fronts.
Then there are the many handkerchief
goods, which are growing more num-
erous every day and which are employ
ed for waists and scarcely for skirts.
The fine lawns and tulle and chiffon
are. Of course, used for whole costumes,
but it is safe to say that they are made
into waists twenty times to once, when
they are used for skirt materials.
The gold trimmings are designed
specially for bodices; and so are the

"GYP" ONCE MORE
THE PARIS FAD.
The Popular and Pretty Novelist
Has a History as Fascinating as
Her Plots.

The Popular and Pretty Novelist
Has a History as Fascinating as
Her Plots.
The English friends OF Gyp, the writer,
are unkind enough to say that she is
seeking notoriety; and one Of the London
papers asks what Gyp will do next.
A few weeks ago. this lady. who is one
OF the show figures of Parts. was kid
mapped Her experiences were strange,
even startling; and when she at last
found herself near her own home she
succeeded in reaching her doorstep, but
no more. For days she was i'll.
Gyp insists that she was actually car
ried away. and now the police OF Paris
are busy finding her abductors. Part of
each day is spent going from station 10

Quoted her; and at night Gyp returns TO
her home completely exhausted from the
search Both she and her husband are
intensely interested in the matter.
II is just fifty years since sibylle Ca
brielle Marie Antoinette de Mrabeau was
born in Parts OF very distinguished par
ents. Her father was soldier and was
killed in the battle of Montana.
Gyp, which Il a contraction Of Gabrielle.
was a precocions child from her earliest
years. She talked sooner than other
children. sang well at very tender age.
and at 10 was show pupil In school.
Her parents had ideas for her private
education and in continental fashion.
she was educated largely at home. She
began early to write and when. at nine
teen she married the Count Martel de

Janville, loud were the lamentations OF
her people, who feared that she would
forsake the brilliant path opened up IL
her by her talents.
But Gyp did not stop her onward pro-
gress. She Immediately began TO write
stories for the magazines she published
a novel, she dramatized small works and
soon gained a notoriety which. later. Ae.
came popular.
To-day no woman is as well beloved ii
Paris as Gyp. yet 1t is said her eccen-
tricities are very pronounced SheA does
things which no other woman daraS %
do. She goes into the street at all hoNrs
of the night and day. she freauents az
kinds Of resorts, high class and low, ahA
makes friends with al kinds OF people
and she dresses in a singular way.
But. in spite Of that, Gyp is well loved
She is extremely generous and gives
away a large portion OF the money which
she earns in writing novels. The Count.
her husband. is very rich, and II a. his
dearest delight TO indulge his wife in
every little elegance: therefore. no wom-
an has the pin money OF Gyp and no
woman is as ever ready when tho sub
scrption books are passed around
When Gyp was a young girl she was
noted for her good looks. She has now
ripened into actual beauty Slender. ex-
tremely graceful. and OF the carriage
known az wiiiowy, no woman has more
pronounced physical attractions than
this French woman. She is generally
called great beauty. and Il IS only when
YOU examine her singular features closely
that you see that they are not claasicaliy

The Countess has a lovely home IN the
suburbs Of Paris where she spends most
Of her time. when she is not there. she
IS at her town house. and It ia during
these visits that Parisians get good
view Of her
Each morning early you will see Gyp
in the Bots riding horseback. Some days

Other mornings she dresses in pure
white, with not a particle Of color. from
her white sailor hat 70 the tips OF her
little white canvas riding shoes.
Gyp delights in doing things that make
people talk. 80 It Is said. but tho Paris
ians love her and the gossip is not OF the
malicious type.
A picture Of her adorned the spring
salon. Gyp WAS Immensely proud * It
and took a large party OF people there
to see It every day.

The surplice OF India lawn, caught al
the left side with gold ornament has
sailor collar crossed In front and fas-
tened upon the same gold button that
holds the folds Of the surpiice waist. The
sailor collar has a deep pointed edge and
is as broad in the front AZ in the back.
These collars are cut little low in the
neck and are without finish, precisely
like the regulation sailor COLLAR But of
course they are made of more delicate
materials. generally lace over taffeta, or
of the most elegant white lawn embroid-
cred in exquisite silks
1t is only short time since II was
considered the worst of bad taste TO wear
transparent yoke. This season nearly
all the bodices are made in this way.
One of the debutantes at the President
reception the other day wore a yoke so
deep and SO transparent as TO be almost
startling. The yokes continue TO increase
IN depth and, as they grow no thicker.
they become more startling Madame
Loubet wears the plainest of gowns al
ways. Believe not the rumors that yokes
will be short and built of heavy velvets
On the contrary their style is already
decided upon; gauze, lace and the thin
nest of sheer materials will be used for
these yokes.
They are making a charming tucked
waist OF washable fabrics. Lawn or lin
en- can be used. The tucks extend across
the figure front and back. with a mar
row embroidery stitch covering the seams
OF the waist. The yoke is an adjustable
one either white or colored. 1t is slipped
on under the body OF the waist which is
supported by small straps of gold braid,
embroidery or ribbon.
