cook, chambermaid and waitress, a

jobs, while the number of nurses varies
in accordance with the number of chill

Few houses have wells, cisterns or
tanks, water being therefore a COM
modify which is supplied by "agUa-
dores''-Water carriers who travel
around the city with donkeys bearing
water barrels on either side. In conse-
qence of this expense, washing is in
variably done on the river banks by
cOlored women, who carry the clothes
in large wooden bowls on their heads.
The garments are beaten on large fiat
stones with fiat pieces of wood;
bleaching, blueing and drying are also
done by the river banks. For this vast
amount of time and labor the "lavan-
daras" (washerwomen) charge 10 cents
a dozen, children's clothes being con-
sidered at the rate of two pieces for
one. The starching and ironing are
done by different women. The sched-
ule of wages for house servants is in
proportion to the price of washing.

"a Japanese detachment Of about
1000 infantry and two squadrons OF
cavalry advanced on May IL towards
Polandien, where it did slight damage
to the railway line. A train from

was obliged to return there. The Japa-

Wafandiane station was closed about
midnight May 1913. During the n1ght
of May 13 Plandien was Illuminated
by the searchlights of the Japanese

troops were observed in the nelghbor-

Of the Manuko river, about seven ana

Maj. Gen. Plug, telegraphing under

"The Japanese have evacuated
Kwantiensien and a column of the
enemy, about division strong, is

physicians, speaking gravely, spent
considerable time in definitely locating
the supposed tumor. When all was in
readiness one of the doctors produced
a pitcher Of ice water, which he held
above the part supposed to be affected,
and allowed a drop to fall at intervals
of fifteen seconds. With each drop Of
water the patient WINGED and occa-
sionally groaned as If in great agony.
Once Or twice she could be heard to
whisper that the doctors be careful
and not cut her too deeply. Finally,
when it was thought the hoax had
been successfully carried to compile
ton, the doctors swathed the patient
in bandages and had her removed to a
room.
On awakening she found herself in
the presence of two trained nurses,
who are keeping up the deception by
not allowing her to move a muscle.
Although she has the appetite and
strength of a normal woman, she lies
perfectly passive and submits cheer
fully to the diet of clear broth. The
physicians say they will allow her to
leave the infirmary in about three
weeks.

he intended to use the curling irons

American Cruiser at chifu.

CHIFU, May 15.-The United States
cruiser New Orleans, with Rear Ad-
miral Stirling on board, arrived today
from Shanghai. The orders were sim
ply to come to Chifu. Rear Admiral
Stirling says that the reason for his
coming and his future movements are
unknown to him. In view of the pre-
vious order that ne ships should come
north of Shanghai, the movement of
the New Orleans is regarded as sig
nificant. One Interpretation of the ar
rival of the cruiser is that the United
States will insist on the neutrality Of
New-chwang when the Russian evac-
uate that place. The New Orleans is
too large to ascend the Lao river.
The cruiser New Orleans is at Chifu
ip accordance with recent order for
warded from Washington to Rear .Ad-
miral Cooper, commander in chief of
the Asiatic squadron. Owing to the
danger threatening New -chWang from
hordes of bandits, who are awaiting
the departure of the Russians to be-
gin depredations, it was deemed ad-
visable to protect American and other
foreign interests until the Japanese
arrive A cruiser and a gunboat were
accordingly ordered to Chifu to hold
themselves in readiness for service at
New-chWang, the gunboat to be util-
lied in shallow waters.

LATEST PORT ARTHUR RUMoR.
ATTACK ON DALNY.

CHICAGO, May IA special from
Chifu to the Daily News says:
When the Daily News dispatch boat
Fawan arrived off Dalny early this
morning a heavy bombardment was in
progress.
AS the channel was thiclzly mined by
the Russians and the Japanese admiral,
Kataoka, had issued strict orders that
non-combatants' boats were to be ex-
cluded, it was impossible to get within
the roadstead. Hence an accurate re-
port of the proceedings is impossible.
AS far as it was possible to ascer-
tain, the armored cruiser, Yakumo, four
other cruisers, one gunboat and one
battleship having cleared the channel,
entered the harbor shortly after day
light and began heavy fire which was
still in progress at noon.
1t is estimated that 10000 Japanese
troops are investing the town and there
is every reason to believe that they
delivered the assault in the afternoon
and are now in possession Of the city.
1t is understood that the landing of
the second army was completed yester-
day at Pitsewo. There are now $4,000
Japanese troops on the peninsula.
