error que conduce al empleo de cos
meticos para blanquear, tonifcar d
ocultar las imperfecciones, que q veces
causan males irremediables.

Los carecteres principales de una

Sc ha dado una idea err6nea de la
causa de los pttltos negros, diciendo
que eran pequenos parasites situados
en- la dermis. Su origen no es otro
que el NAL funcionamiento de las CLAN

JAPANESE REPULS[D.
About Thirty Thousand Killed or
Wounded by a Russian Mine.
Japanese Advance to Ia Tche kiao Is
Shrouded in Mystery, But 1t Does
Not Cause Any Anxiety in
St Petersburg

st. Petersburg, July ia dispatch
from Russian correspondent at Muk-
den. dated July II, says:
According to intelligence received
here the Japanese last night attacked
positions near Port Arthur and were
repulsed with enormous losses, not
less than 10000, it is said, being killed
or wounded by our mines"
The Japanese advance to Ia Tche
Kiao is shrouded In mystery No tele-
grams have been received by the gen.
eral staff or the admiralty since Lieut..
Gen. Sakharoff's dispatch of July 10
with the exception of a report from
Gen. Kuropatkin covering the events
detailed by Gen. Sakharoff, which was
delayed because it had followed the
emperor on his journey to the Volga
region.
The lack of news from Ia Tche KiaO
is not causing anxiety. The evening
editions of the st. Petersburg newspa-
pers prominently published the tele-
gram from Toxic reporting another ap-
pearance of the Port Arthur squadron
(on the morning of July 81 and thus
gladdened the hearts of the holiday
crowd.

London, July 14.-There is publish
ed Thursday morning rumor that
Port Arthur has fallen, but it is dis
credited and lacks confirmation of any
sort
st. Petersburg, July IA special
dispatch received from Mukden We'd
nesday. night dated July II, repeats
the story Of Japanese repulse at Port
Arthur with the loss of 10000 The
dispatch says:
News has been received from relia-
army on the night Of July IL attacked
Port Arthur and was heavily defeat
ed, an immense number being killed
by Russian mines. The total loss. is
about 10000"
There was great interest through
out st. Petersburg all Wednesday ev
ening for further details of the disas-
ter. 1t has developed that the official
report which was at first supposed to
emanate directly from Viceroy Alexieff
was not specifically fathered by him,
but was given out as report reaching
his headquarters from Japanese
sources" What these sources are has
not yet been explained. Possibly the
report was intercepted by wireless tel
egraphs but it is more likely that it
came from the Russian consul at Che
Foo or the Russian consul at Tien-
Tsin.
A full report on the subject is await
ed from Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel, COM

finally gave up all hopes of ever being
