In many of the orange groves of the
immediate section around orlando fruit
buds are making their appearance in pro-
fusion. While a large percentage of the
groves were practically wiped out by the
disaster Of five years ago, those that es-
capped serious damage are coming on at
rate that is altogether gratifying to own

groves IS that Of Mr. c. b. Thornton, in
the northern portion of town. The trees
were planted two years ago, and are now
blooming quite freely. From present in
dicatiors, three-fourths of them will bear
fruit this year.

From China

parded here as likely to be the most
serious development OF the Pekin Crisis
the Dowager En- press ia In the For
hidden City, as reported, then the
mowers are definitely at war with the
Chinese empire. The statement that
Yung Lu is responsible for the en-
press's presence in the capital would
Indicate that either Prince Tuan and

have fled or are no longer OF influence.
Yung Lu is pro-foreign 10 his symDa.

ed by the anti-foreign leaders. The
reason for the bombardment is not
known. 1t is believed despite the Of
fetal reports that the empress and her
court fled from Pekin before its cap
ture by the allies. The bombardment
of the Forbidden City is explained az
due to the fact that TuaD, or som
other usurper, is within the city, Ia

ATTACKED BY AN OCTOPUS.

Three Chinese fishermen while attending
their nets of California City yesterday were
attacked by an octopus. which bsttled iercely
until over fifteen feet Of his teutacles had
been hacked 10 pieces By the fshermen'-
knives. When the animal had disappear ed
beneath the waters il was found that one of
the men, Q1ong Wsb. had sustained frsc-
turei arm and several crashed ribs, while his
companions had painful cuts and bruises
Quong Wsh from the stern of the boat, was
directing the operations Of his compsu-
ions when the surface Of the water
was disturbed. A black mass appeared
and slowly approached the boat. Wah
screamed to his companions to ship the oars
but he wac to late. A long curling arm shot
through the air with the wh'z Of a lariat and
grsspe1 the body of the Chinsmsn. Wish.

tempted to loosen the grasp Of the monster.
His companions. psralyzed with horror, we're
helpless TO aid him until curling over the
boat, another serpentine arm glided toward
them. Drawing their knives they slashed
desperately at the tentscle that had wrapped
Itself around one of tie seats and threatened
to cspsze the boat. In few moments the
sharp knives had done their work, and the
arm of the octopus squirmed helplessly in
the bottom OF the boat fastening to the as.
sislance Of their companion. Lee and Sing
attacked the tentscle, what WAS gradually
crushing the life out of Wah. and succeeded
IN bsCkiDg it to pieces. The monster then
gave up the fight snd settled beneath the
water. The dlsmembered arms measured
nearly fifteen feet.
