TO FORCE BLOCKADE
Port Arthur Fleet Will At tempt to Break Out.
WAR CORRESPONDENTS DISGUSTED.
Japanese Play the wnr Game With Courtesy to Red Cross-Extensive Flank Movement East
 of MuIden.

LONDON, Sept. 27.--It is reported from St. Petersburg that Rear Admiral Wiren will attempt to break out of Port Arthur with his ships and return to Europe. The task of escaping from Admiral Togo appears to be hopeless if Admiral Cervera's attempt to get away from Santiago is remembered. Wiren's men, unlike the Spaniards, have had plenty of war experience and are in a desperate position.
 A dispatch from Chefu says that the foreign military attaches and news paper correspondents with the second army witnessed the battle of Liao- yang from distance of eight miles and that they protested to the Japanese authorities because of this restriction upon their movements. General Oku replied that in the future they would be permitted to witness engagements from distance of four miles, where upon the correspondents left the sec ond army deciding to make an attempt to reach Port Dalny.
 Melton Prior, the famous British war correspondent, says he believes that with the possible exception of the. bat tie of Liaoyang, not one correspondent has seen a shot fred and he even doubts if the Liaoyang fighting was really closely witnessed by any news paper man.
 A statement from person on board the Russian hospital ship Mongolia, at Port Arthur, describing the fight fol- lowing Rear Admiral Withoft's sortie, pays tribute to the courtesy and consideration shown by the Japanese. The Mongolia was twice cut off from the squadron, but the Japanese sig naled her to steer to the left, which she did. Once the Mongolia was be- tween two fires, and frequently Japa- nese torpedo boats passed quite close to her. but she was not attacked through out the fight and returned safely to Port Arthur.
 A dispatch has been received at St. Petersburg from General Kuropatkin announcing that the Japanese are pre- pairing an extensive turning movement east of Mukden.
 A large force Is advancing from Liaoyang, by way of Taitse, to Sian chan, Skirmishes have occurred in the valley of the Hun river and at Inpu, between Bentsiaputze and the railroad. There were many casualties in Inpu.

Jacques
THN JACQUES.

It is. no disparagement of any of the preceding shows given at the Jacques this season to state that the one put on yesterday is by all odds better than the best of them. Not alone in the headline act, offered by Mary Dupont and Willard Hutchinson in the form of comedietta labeled "A Leap Year Leap," but in all the other acts is this statement true. Indeed, as an all around good show, without any kind of weakness, this bill will compare with the best ever seen at the house. Miss Dupont's playlet is most anus ing and successful attempt on the part of an anxious young lady to bring a' rather bashful and obtuse suitor to the point of popping the momentous question. The conedietta is as dainty as 1t is bright and clever and is played by Miss Dupont and MT Hutchinson with just the right touch of comedy. Very surprising proved Miss Nellie Florede in her songs. So catchily did she render these yesterday that she was recalled again and again. Miss Florede was, perhaps, the most dis tinct hit of the entire bill. Charles H. Barry, an old favorite here, renewed former triumphs with his eccentric style of comedy, and Miss Huldah Halyers gave him effective aid in the act. A pretty singing novelty won ap- plause for George B. Alexander and Olive Kerr, and Raymond and Caverly created ho end of laughter for their Dutch w1tticisms and parodies. Oth- CTS on the bill are Potter and Hart well. Hendrix and Prescott and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

in a new three act comedy written especially for her by George W. Ho- bart, author of the famous John Henry' stories. The title of the new fun vehicle is Mrs Black is Back, ]" and during the progress of the comedy plenty of opportunity is given Miss IT. win to renew her old friendships in her inimitable singing of coon songs and sharp and witty repartee.
 The comedy develops little lie into tragedy, and then relieves the situation in the happiest of ways. Mrs Black, the part taken by Miss Irwin, marries second time. Her husband is a laboratory ridden pro- pessor of geology. The professor is kind hearted and innocent, and dis likes liar most earnestly.
 He readily believes that his charm ing wife is only % years of age, when in reality she is 36. But the trouble arises with n son of Mrs Black by her former marriage. He is seven teen years of age. As he is at school in England his fond mamma takes the risk of telling. her husband that the youngster is only 10 years old, and then her worries commence.
 The professor begips to speak fond- VI of his "dear littaei Jack" and goes to the extent of buying toys and oth- CT playthings in anticipation of some day being able 9toy Eresent them to Johnny. nt noSs
 Mrs Black, however, who dreads to have her husband learn Johnny's true age and that she has deceived him, informs the professor that Johnny must remain a little longer in Eng land until his school year is com pleted.
 Tn the midst of her troubles Mex ican gambler makes his entrance and presents her with an I. O. .. for $4O0. from Johnny, whom he swindled out of the money in a poker game aboard the transatlantic liner, where he met Mrs Blacks son on the latter's way home from Europe. She indignantly refuses to pay the money whereupon the Mexican threatens to tell her husband about the debt and collect from him.
 She pictures in her mind the effect on the professor when he receives the I. o. U. for $400 lost in poker game by his supposedly ten years old step son and it frightens her almost into hysterics. So she puts off the Mexi- can gambler with promise to pay him later in the afternoon. Shortly after the Mexican leaves, Johnny, a big healthy looking young English man, with a bull dog pipe between his teeth, dashes in and folds his mother in his arms.
 Johnny is hurriedly forced to dis guise himself as the cook and take his place at the kitchen stove.
 The rest of the play is consumed in unraveling the complications into which Mrs Black and her family have been, precipitated. This is splendidly done by MT Hobart, who, after an ex- citing and laugh provoking series of Incidents, gets everybody out of trouble and brings the story to pret- ty ending.
 Among the catchy songs sung by Miss Irwin and the company assisting her were the following: Nothing but Talk" Bible Stories,' Can't You Guess'' and I'm Worried to Death About That"
 It is natural to suppose that the first

INSULT TO CONSULATE.

Admiral Sigsbee at Carthagen@ Ob-
 taimed Reiterated Regrets.
 COLON, Sept 27. = The American consulate at Carthagena having been twice recently besmeared with filth, Rear Admiral Sigsbee, with his flag ship, the Newark, was ordered to pro ceed to Carthagena and investigate the circumstances. The gunboat Newport, Commander Mertz, joined the flagship.
 Tn communication to the governor, Luis Patron, Admiral Sigsbee says in part: II find your expressions of re gret for the acts of indecency on be- half of yourself and your government satisfactory, but that they have not been given sufficient publicity. sug- gest additional precautions to prevent a recurrence of such incidents and fuller publicity of the governments expressions of regret in order to avoid a friendly visit assuming a more diff cult feature"
 Governor Patron complied by reiter- ating his regrets.

WHEN A GIRL IS ENGAGED.

The wise girl needs no advice as to how she shall bear herself during the period of her engagement. There is no danger that she will not take 1t seriously The risk in her case is that she will lose sight of the lighter and more pleasurable side of 1t. That is not the happiest engagement which is conducted to the refrain of the Dead March" in 'sSaIl." A man may think 1t is very charming, for while, to see his fiancee take almost religious view of the new relationship, but 1t will not be long before he will crave the every-dayness that takes fun as well as solemnity into account
 Fewer girls of this type, however, are found than of the other. There are girls who consider all love affairs more or less as jokes, even those that lead to marriage Their point of view is determined sometimes by their as, sociates and sometimes by the part of the country in which they have been reared. Tn certain sections 1t used to be the custom not to announce an en- gagement until very brief period be fore the wedding cards were out. Un- der those circumstances a girl seemed to take keen pleasure in concealing her new relationship from those about her. I have known of girls who would not hesitate to deny point blank the fact of their betrothal, even within a few weeks of their marriage. I once heard a girl say: "All my fun would be at an end if my engagement were announced. shall have t0 live with one man for the rest of my natural life, and I mean to fly about little before I settle down with him."
 One would be tempted to condemn this sort of thing unreservedly were it not that those same f1irtatious girls often become the most devoted wives and mothers, and never bestow a look or a thought upon other men after marriage But, although there are in stances of this kind, it is a decidedly unsafe rule to follow. More than this, it is unkind and unfair to all the par ties concerned. Christine Terhune Herrick in Success.
