CHINESE INVADE MACAO

PARIS, Jan. 25.--A special dispatch
from Lisbon says the Chinese have
invaded Macao and that a cruiser has
been ordered there. The failure of the
Chinese and Portuguese governments
to come to an agreement on this dis
puted territory had led to the antici-
patton of some definite action on the
part of the Chinese at an early date.

CONTINUED from Pare One,


with the prospect of the rise continu-
ing.
The damage already done is meal
culable. The Industrial life Of the city
is rapidly becoming paralyzed. Only
two sections of the subway railway are
in operation, while three-fourths of the
surface lines are tied up. Factories
are shutting down because of the lack
of power due to the electric plants be-
ing flooded. Half of the telephones in
the city are out of commission and
telegraphs and railroads are demor-
allied.
The disaster is due to the fact that
the whole marvellous underground ar
chitecture of the city, which is honey
combed with labyrinths is filling up
with water, causing the sewers to burst
and the streets to cave in and threat
ening the foundations of buildings.
The scene in river front districts is
appalling. The stream has broken it's
barriers at several points and is pour
ing it's yellow torrents into the sur
rounding streets, converting them into
veritable lakes.
At any time it may be necessary to
blow up the Alma bridge. where the
water is but a few inches from the
keystone of the arch, as a dam there
such a way as to flood several of the
most fashionable sections Of the city
Chemicals Explode
A tremendous explosion which
awakened the stricken city at o'clock
led to the report that the Alma bridge
had been blown up. but the explosion
proved to have occurred in a chemical
factory at Ivy-sur- Seine, eight miles
-, ,fe,,@
surrounding the factory came in con-
tact with chemicals.
During the night the subway stations
at the Orleans terminal and at Quai
d'Orsay were flooded and closed, and
the sinking of the Rue de Potieres let
the water through into the Rue de Lille
and the Rue de IUniversite, streets in
which live many of the old aristocracy
The Vogierard district near the Bouci-
cault hospital also is inundated.
At noon Paris was the center of an
area of low pressure and bitter cold,
Rain and sleet were falling through
out the flooded regions, adding to the
suffering of the poor and homeless.
The price of bread and other food has
increased in consequence of the fact
that communication with the prov
inces is crippled. No trains from the
south are coming beyond Choisy lie
Roi.
The depleted supply of drinking water
has caused the greatest alarm. With
the rise of the flood but few inches
higher the pumping stations still in
operation must stop and Paris, in the
midst of a miniature ocean, will be
without water.
Suburbs in Distress
The situation in between twenty and
thirty suburban towns about the city
is worse than in the capital itself.
At Charenton, where the swollen
river Marine enters the Seine, an
area of 200 square miles has been
flooded. The submerged district in
cludes Alfortville and Ivry-sur-Seine,
with a total population of 10000.
At this point the soldiers and fire
men are doing heroic work in rescu-
ing families in boats and pontoons At

house telling the son that she would
never return and that she was going
back TO her home in Italy.
The husband and father was sorely
grieved and went to the place where

to find. as he had suspected, that the
faithless spouse had taken the entire
hoard. He was at a loss to know
