LONDON, May 9.-The situation arising
IN the far east by reason of the alleged
violation of French neutrality in Indo-
CHINA by Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron

coming involved formed the subject of a
question to Premier Baifour in the house

British government by the French ambas-
sador, NJ Cambon, as follows:
las soon as the French government was
aware of Admiral Rojestvensky's presence
at Kamranh bay representations were sent
to ST. Petersburg, with the result that un-
der the orders of the emperor himself in
structions were telegraphed to the ad-
m.~al desiring him to leave Kamranh BAY
at once. The Russian squadron subse-
puently was reported to be at Hon-K ole
bay, few miles north of Kamranh bay
Admiral de Jonquieres, commanding the
French station, was sent there to report.
He found Admiral Rojestvensky's squad
ron there, though not inside French terri
torial waters. Thereupon the governor of
French Indo-China who had received in
structions to see that French neutrality
was duly respected, sent the French resi-
dent at Nha-Trang, the nearest point to
that place, with directions to ask the Rus
sian admiral to leave. The admiral prom
ised TO do May 3.
"As regards the reports that the Russian
squadron received valuable assistance from
the French authorities at Kamranh BAY L
am Informed there are only two French
men there, neither of whom is an official
but they are holders of concessions from
the French government in that place.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HONGKONG, May g. - Two colliers
reached Hongkong today which left Hong
koe bay May 3. They say that the Russian
ship commanders are smart, and are likely
to give the Japanese more than the latter
bargained for. Eight new battleships were
lying less than two miles from shore, and
the transports and torpedo boats half a
mile from shore.
The Russian ships are said to be well
armed. The men are lazy, stupid and ig-
norant, and have no hope of winning against
the Japanese. Admiral Rojestvensky IS de-
scribed as a fine man. The officers and the
men are as different as the west is from
the east.
The Russian ships were coaling at the
rate of two hundred and fifty tons a day
The men do not acknowledge their destina-
ton or object. They were begging for
whisky and tobacco. AS much as S. was
offered for a bottle of whisky. April 80 was
observed as Easter holiday but shore leave
was withheld.

with such rapidity that it is impossible
to count them.
Most of the dairies show a count of
100000 germs to the cubic centimeter,
about one-thirtieth of an ounce, but
after standing a few hours these have
increased to millions and 1t is in this
condition that the milk reaches the
homes of the city,
Among all these millions of germs
there may not be one that is respon-
sible for contagious disease and yet
there are plenty of opportunities for the
deadliest germs to lurk in the milk.
Milk is a source of typhoid fever, say
the health authorities.
The health authorities are endeavor-
ing to establish a standard count of
germs for milk as delivered at the
homes and to this end a number of
tests are being made. When the maxi
mum count is established the milk will
remain longer in sweet state. for the
purer the milk the longer the process

SIXTY MILES OF PIPING
FOR WATER WORKS SYSTEM
BOARD PROPOSES MAKING GREAT
IMPROVEMENT
Advertising for Bids by Manufacturers
for Furnishing 5155 Tons Of Iron
Mains Is to Be Begun Next Week.
Last Delivery to Be Made April

With the requirement of the great
valley better water system will be
necessary, and to this end the water
board will next week advertise for bids
for thousands of tons of piping. 1t is
expected that the total cost of the i'm
rrovements to the water system will
reach nearly a quarter of a million
dollars.
Specifications for this piping have
been prepared and will be sent to the
manufacturers throughout the country.
Il is expected that the. contract will be
divided among several firms as it is
believed that the best service can be
secured in this way. Bids will be
opened October 1 and the contract will
demand that the last delivery of pipe
be made April /, 1906.
When the first consignment Of pipe
arrives work will begin on laying new
mains and it is expected that it will be
completed in time for the dry season
next year. The work of laying the pipe
will probably cost about $50, The
estimated cost of the pipe is $4,000
Two Main Lines
The new system will consist of two
large lines and extensions of the mains
now in use One of the main lines will
be of thirty-six inch pipe and reach
from the new Ivanhoe reservoir to
ND frI afo {rfx
inch pipe will be connected here and
will extend west on Third street to
Wiltshire boulevard and along this
street to Normandie avenue and on
Normandie to Pico street. An eighteen
inch pipe will be connected at this
place and run along Pico street to
Western avenue with a sixteen inch
pipe to Adams street.
The second main line will be of
twenty-four inch pipe laid on Central
the water will then be carried through
twenty inch pipe to Thirtieth street
These two mains alone will be more
than thirty miles long and the total
length of the new piping will be more
than sixty miles. In addition to lay
ing pipes, the Ivanhoe reservoir will be
enlarged and other needed improve
ments will be made.
The total weight of the new pipe will
be 5155 tons, and is the largest order
for iron pipe that the city has ever
placed. Los Angeles is using more iron
pipe than any other city in the United
States.

DELAY WORK ON INcINERAroR

Lack of material is delaying the

incinerator to be completed and turned
over to the city authorities by Sep
tember 1, but the delay of material
has been unavoidable and the contract
ors promise to rush work on the plant
as soon as the steel comes from the

also going to have ice cream, puddings
and other things of that sort which the
boys call Just grub The boys are
bound to have ice cream and if we do
not give it to them they will get it
somewhere else"
Plans Are Drawn
Plans for the building have been
drawn by Roger j. Sterett, the new
drawing teacher for the high school.
The building will be sixty feet long and
thirty-two wide. One side will have
pulled up when the lunch room is open.
A platform will extend the length of
the building and students desiring cold
lunches and wishing to eat them in the
yard will be served through these open
illgs.
In the interior of the building twelve
long tables will be arranged to seat
about ITO pupils at time. The two
entrances to the building will be at one
end and an aisle leads from the door to
the serving counter at the other end.
There the range will be installed with
all facilities for serving large number
in a short time. The pupils will file
into the building at one end and pass
to a tray table where they will be
supplied with trays and dishes. From
there they will go to the serving
counter and in turn take seats at the
tables.
A check system will be used. the
checks ranging in value from one cent
TO five cents. Nothing will cost more
than five cents.
All Approve Plan
I'VE will put large force of men to
work on the building and In one week
it will be finished" said Principal
Housh of the high school yesterday.
"The plan was submitted to the head
of the cooking department and to the
members of the high school committee
and all are unanimous in the opinion
that it is a good one"
Enrolment in the polytechnic high
school and in the high school proper
began Yesterday and especially at the
polytechnic school is very heavy. Until
Monday it will be impossible to deter
mine how many students will take UP
the work in either school.
