During the civil war, as we'll as
in our late war with Spain, diar-
rhoea was one of the most trouble
some diseases the army had to con-

became chronic and the old soldiers
still suffer with it. Mr.. David

The Progress of the Jap.

The progress of the Jap is one
of the marvels of history.
But few wears ago the island
empire was without tile pale OF
civilized law. The wise men of the
nation anticipated the coming
change ard squared themselves
with modern conditions. Today
Japan is included within the faml-
~ Of nations and to her was ac-
corded the honor Of leading the
march into Pekin.
1t is the first time on record in
which Que generation of "a nation

Fighting In Pekin.

The capture of Pekin has beer
confirmed at last from America
sources. Gen. Adna R. Chaffee
commander of the United States
forces in China, in IA dispatch dated
August Is and received by the War
department in Washington last
night, saws: ave entered the lega-
ton grounds at 5 p. M. Tuesday
with the Fourteenth Infantry and
light battery" Eight Ameri-
cans, lie adds, were wounded dul-
ing the days fighting.
In Washington the date of Gen.
eral Chaffee's dispatch is regarded
as an error of transmission. All
the other accounts Of the entry IN
to Pekin agree that it was on Wed
nesday, not Tuesday, as General
Chaffee says. Admiral Remey' IN
dispatch received by the Navy
Department, adds important details.
lie says information from japanese
sources is that the Empress Dawa-
ger is detained by Prince Yungedo
in the inner city, which is being
bomb arded by the allies" Chinese
officials in Washington have never
heard Of prince Yungedo," AMI it
is inferred that the correct name OF
the person referred to is Yum Lu.
commander-in chief Of the lmperl-
al Chinese forces, who has strong
pro-foreign inclinations.
The inner or forbidden city,
which is being bonn barded, is a
sacred space, where the Emperor
and Empress Dowager reside. Ii
the allies damage it the effect may
be serious in inhaming the Chinese.
WI Ting-fang, Chinese Minister in
Washington, says he has positive
advices that the Emperor and En-
press are not in the forbidden city,
but haye gone to Shen ST province,
west Of Pekin.
Germany will soon have 10000
soldiers in China, and is sending a
powerful fleet there. 1t is believed
that she is acting with Russia, and
is preparing for an international
conflict.
It is stated in Washington that
the United States will not land
troops at Shanghai unless America
life or property is threatened. The
cruiser New Orleans has arrived
there, and her captain can act IN
an emergency.
