A California "Japtown."

The permanent Asiatic population OF
Vacaville proper bring nothing at all
into the n Of trade. Their money
goes eventually back to their native
country, just as that Of the Chinese
does. In addition, some Of the white
mans money goes with it, for they are
actually cutting into the white trade
here. A trip through Japtown will
convince anyone Of this fact. Exten-
sive laundries, large general merchan-
disc stores and employment agencies
elbow each other there. Three billiard
saloons are crowded into one block.
There is an ice cream parlor and a
bank. Everything which an Oriental
heart could wish is on sale, and many
things are there which cater to the
Occidental appetite. In short, Jap
town is q complete little city in it
self, enormously large in proportion to
the whole community, and built in
truo Oriental style, so far as the tiny
proportions Of the living apartments
are concerned.-San Francisco Chron-
icle.

"The Prince of Monte Carlo has

,'There are those who seem to say

ROOSEVELT AT SAN ANTONIO.
Greets His Rough Riders, Making
Speech at Fair Grounds.

speech at FAR
San Antonio, Te1as.-At l o'clock in
the afternoon the President Of the Uni
ted States, Theodore Roosevelt, be-
came Colonel Teddy Roosevelt, tho
idolized commander of the First Uni
ted States Volunteer Cavalry, better
known as the Rough Riders. and hail
fellow we'll met" with his old COM
rades at the fair grounds.
At go o'clock in the morning a Citi-
zens' Committee of San Antonio met
President Roosevelt and his party at
his private car, in which he had en-
joyed a good nights rest, and escorted
him to Fort Sam Houston, where he
reviewed the National troops. Re-
turning to the city the President was
driven to the speakers stand, directly
before the battle-scarred Alamo, where
he delivered an address. Immediately
afterward he joined his comrades at
the fair grounds, the original muster
ing-in place of the regiment.
The city was a blaze of bunting and
flags, and even the sombre old Alamo,
the shrine of Texas, had not escaped,
but was gayly festooned.
Rough Riders were everywhere and
the city was theirs. All days the rail-
roads poured thousands into the city,
and the reception accorded the Presi-
dent was boundlesS in its enthusiasm.

Standard OIL Attorney Replies.

New York City.-S. G. T. Dodd, chief
solicitor of the Standard Oil Company.
made a statement with reference to the
recent discussion as to the acceptance
of q gift of 500, 600 offered by John D.
Rockefeller for missionary work. MI.
Dodd said that the accusation that Mr..
Rockefeller made his money dishonest
" IF false, is vile, and being made by
ministers in the pretended interest of
morality, is doubly vile"
Mr.. Dodd said also that the Standard
Oil Company does not W a share of
stock in a railroad company, does not
control any railroad company, and that
since the enactment of the Interstate
Commerce law, has not received lower
rates than other shippers by rebates,
arrangements, devices OR plans Of any
character.
With reference to gas and copper en-
terpriSes Mr.. Dodd says that neither
the Standard Oil Company o Mr..
Rockefeller has any connection or in
terest, directly or indirectly, with
those companies or with their organi-
cation.

increasing activity by the Japanese
against points on the road to kirin De-
arayed a movement in force in Z
direction on the part of at least one OF
Marshal Oyama's armies. The column
using Kaiyuan as a base was operat-
ang vigorously over a long stretch OF
the military road northeast of that
place, and has captured several points
of minor but undoubted Importance in
the past few days. A half brigade of
infantry with two squadrons of dra-
goons attacked the Russian garrison
twenty-six miles northeast Of Kaiyuan,
In Aishenkao, and after a sharp fight,
in which the losses on both sides were
heavy in proportion to the numbers OF
troops engaged, the JapS drove the
Russians northward.
Hot pursuit of the retiring Russians
was made by the japanese cavalry,
but it ceased when the %retreating
forces had drawn six miles from Ash
enkao. The dragons retired on their
infantry and the Japs fastened to

successful turning movement against
the Russian left in the battle Of Men
huachieh at night gave the Mikado's
troops q decided advantage in position.
1t appeared impracticable at this stage
of the marShal's general move for Cen
eral Linevitch to check him to any
valuable extent.
There seemed to be little doubt
Oyama had dispatched a cavalry COL
umn with flying artillery for a rapid
movement north through Manchuria
toward Tsitsihar. 1t was evident, too,
the Marshal was massing large bodies
Of his troops for an important move,
2uu IL was luS USilCL VI NitiloS ~
perts here that he intended to force the
fighting on a much larger scale than at
present in the immediate future. He
has hampered the Russian commander
terribly by the destruction of stores at
Hussitai, Kaiyuan and Changtu, as
we'll as at other places, and the Cars
soldiers have been suffering keenly
from shortage Of provisions and forage.
General Linevitch has been relying
largely largely on his Cossack cavalry
and horse batteries for defense of the
army from the attacks of japanese
raiders. Mistchenko's Cossacks have
been the most active command in the
Russian army, and their losses Of late
have been severe. They engaged in
4 brisk skirmish with the advance
guard of the Japanese centre, retiring
with several killed and many wounded
after drawing the enemy's heavier field
artillery fire.

Trees Strange Crop.

There is a curious sight in the fork
of an umbrella tree on Washington

SCORES KILLED IN SPAIN
New Water Reservoir Bursts Neal
Madrid.
King Alfonso Hastens to the Scene
and Lends Assistance-Dis-
turbance Feared.

Madrid, pain.-Hundreds OF persons
were killed or injured by the collapse
of a new water reservoir in course of
| construction. Scores of bodies have al
| ready been recovered. The Prince Of
the Asturias, the War Minister, the
Governor of Madrid and a representa-
tive Of the King went to the spot to
| superintend the work of rescue. Troops
sent to the scene were soon engaged IN
helping the sufferers and recovering
the bodies of the dead.
King Alfonso was shooting at Cara
banchel when he heard Of the disaster
and Immediately repaired to the scene.
His arrival was the signal for oyations
from the crowd. The King was deeply
moved, and insisted upon. personally
supervising the relief measures.
Working parties gradually removed
the debris and continued to recover
mutilated bodies, fragments Of flesh
and limbs.
A workman who was injured said
the collapse was so sudden and COM
plete that it was impossible to tell
what happened. The men at work on
the reservoir, however, anticipated
trouble, as q fortnight ago three arches
collapsed and cracks developed in foul
others.
The public hold the engineers and
contractors responsible for the catas-
trophe, into which the Cabinet has or
dered a strict inquiry.
The catastrophe caused a profound
sensation throughout the city. All
work was suspended and the people
locked to the scene.
AS the day passed the indignation
and excitement increased, and serious
disorders were feared. especially on
the occasion of the funerals Of the vic
tins should the authorities undertake
to prevent professions passing through
the centre of the city. Already demon
STATIONS began to be directed against
those held to be responsible for the dis
aster. Professions of women carrying
black flags paraded the district in
which the disaster occurred. A great
crowd marched to the centre Of the
city and forced the merchants to close
their establishments as q sign OF
mourning. The markets were oil shut
and business was entirely at a stand
still.
The work of recovering the dead and
injured was hampered by enormous
crowds Of angry men n Wailing
women.
Nearly all the injuries were Of a Sc.
rious nature. The ambulance stations
were soon overflowed, but assistance
continued to arrive from every direc-
ton.

TAFT HEAD OF GOVERNMENT.
Has Taken Over the Foreign Affairs
of the Nation.

Washington, D. c. - The unusual
sight was witnessed Of foreign diplo-
mats going to the War Department in
stead of to the State Department to
conduct business. Secretary Of War
Taft entered upon his duties as head Of
the Nations foreign affairs as soc as
the President went away, although
Mr.. LOOMS retains the title of Acting
Secretary of State.
Mr.. Taft is now at the head Of the
Government, so far as Washington is
concerned. His most important con
ference in his capacity as head of the
State Department was with Minister
Takahira, of Japan. Mr.. Takahira
talked to Secretary Taft of the general
situation in the East and of the peace
outlook, but not with the idea Of max
ing any proposals or requests. His
visit, it vas understood. was for the
purpose of acquainting Mr.. Taft with
the situation as Japan views it, and Of
getting in touch with the Secretary.

were the ships which were seen in
