The cause of the rupture was primarily President Loubet's visit to Rome. The Pope's objection to the visit of the French President to Victor Emmanuel III. was couched in such language that France could hardly fail to take cognizance of it. From the Pope's point of view the visit was a recog nition of the usurping house of Savoy and such a recognition was an affront to the Vatican. Jusc whether Presi dent Loubet should have refrained lrom visiting the King ot Italy or whether the Pope should have con cealed his displeasure in the interests of peace is a question which will doubtless be debated in diplomatic and deliberative circles for years to come. It is claimed that the Pope was indiscreet in giving voice to his displeasure in such terms as he em ployed. The result is a rupture which is to be deplored, not that it really means anything, except that harmony is always much pleasanter than discord.

I have just returned from au exteuded trip on board the steamer Haimum to Kiuchon Bay, where I was able to gleau many ad ditional facts relative ift' tWb recent engagement near that place. I Was fortunate enough to meet au eye witness to the entire battle,, and he cleared up a num ber of doubtful points regarding the movements pre liminary to the ordering of the general assalilt. At mid-day of May 26, the Kiuchou Peninsula presented a scene of unprecedented activity, and a military spec tacle seldom equaled, 40,000 Japanese troops being massed behind the western spur of Mount Sampson and uuder such small cover as was afforded by the Suchiatun Twin peaks. The Japanese forces were act ually within 2000 yards of the Russian works, aud there was so little room to deplo on the Isthmus that entire batallious of the Japanese troops had to stand waiting waist deep in the sea until enough of their comrades had fallen before Russian bullets to secure for them a foothold t-u land. Waiting Time Most Trying. The wailing time was most trying, the shells from Russian batteries massed upou the heights ploughing iuto the serried ranks of the Japanese, and there was little cessation until the Japanese batteries were brought into action from Chilichwang and the Kauchiayau fl its, while the guus of the fleet kept the line of Russian works fringed with bursting projec tiles, which eventually saved the main bod of the Japanese infautiy. It was mid-da when the Russiau fire from vhe peaks of Mauchiaying village seemed to slacken, and almost immediately afterward the Japanese batteries made their appearance between the Suchiantuu range. They were to make a desperate effort to carry the nearest Russian works. In the open, absolutely without cover, they poured au accurate fire into the Russian position, and a half hour later the order for a charge upon Mauchiaying wms given the waiting in fantry massed upon the isthmus. Like hounds released from the leash, the little brown men started across the intervening space while the guns of the Russians poured down hundreds of explosive shells, but without iu any way cheeking the onslaught. Mowed Down like Grass. Reaching the first line of hills, which afforded cover, the Japanese infantry halted long enough to fill up the gaps in their shattered Hues, and then swept up the slope toward the Russiau guns. Human power, however, could not have carried the Russian position at this time, and the Japanese infantry was hurled back, shattered and defeated. Bullets from the Rus sian infantry in the trenches and from the machine guns at the top of the slope moved down the slope mowed down the Japanese like grass. A few who seemed to bear chr.nued lives managed to stagger half way up the hill t what seemed to be a depression that would afford cover from the rain of bullets. But it was a vain hope, as it was here that the Russians had strung their barbed wire obstruction, which it was impossible to pass. The Japanese column melted like solder before a plumber's blowpipe and within 15 minutes the entire body of men engaged in the charge had ceased to exist, except as a trail of multilated bodies at the foot of the Rusrsiau entrenchments. Seeing the failure of this movement, the Japanese gunboats and supporting artillery concentrated their whole fire on the one point where General Oku had determined to drive home the wedge with which he expected to opm the entire structure of the defense. The fire was so deadly that by evening the works were practicable for a general who had such troops as the Japanese, and who was willing to take the respon sibility of such fearful losses as must necessarily fol low. The second charge was successful, as the Japan ese were able to get within bayonet length of the enemy and the latter fled, leaving their cannon to the foe. I learn that it was the mining ship Amur which laid the miues that destroyed the Ilatsuse. On the morning of the catastrophe a Japanese gunboat flotilla, cut her and her escort off. I can learn nothing more of their fate, but suspect that they su,cqoodo( in slip ping back into, Port Arthur, Pqrt Arthur refugees state that the native and civilian population get only such food as arrives on junks from Chinese ports, or what they have received secretly. The military authorities requisitioned all available food. On half rations, it is estimated that the garrison has euoujrh for five mouths. The five damaged warships moored at the Port Artuur jetties have been denuded of every thiug mova ble. Lieuteuaut-General Stoessel retains a large number of junks in the roadstead.

On May 17 in the House of Lords, in re plying to a question, Lord Hardwicke, Under Secretary for War, made this statement and claimed that until the government had by force of arms vindicted its position he did not think it ought to be called on to give a definite pledge as to what form of aettlem.ent would follow the end of hostilities. ReporLs direct from Thi bet are that up to date the Uritish casualties have been thirty-seven while the number of Thibetans killed or wounded runs up in four figures. On May 19 the Thibetans occupied several villages in the rear of the, British expedition, blocking communi-' cations. They ambuscaded eight mounted infantry who were convey ing the daily post. Reenforcements were despatched and they repulsed the Thibetans, punishing them se verely. A Sepoy was killed and two were wounded. Previously the British attacked the Thibetans, who were occupying a post north of Gyangtse, defeating them with severe oss.

Watches, CIocKs, Jewelry Diamonds and Silverware Curing the Leper. The statement that the Louisiana Leper's Home has dischared as cured a leper patient has an added interest for the United States in these "ex pansion" days. The Louisiana leper colony is small and not increasing, cases are rarely seen in New York and San Francisco has learned not to fear an occasional victim, so that within the mainland Republic the disease is of little ac count. But Hawaii is ' erribly handi capped by leprosy and we rule "out side the Constitution" tin the Philip pines a large number of spotted men as well as millions of "little brown ones." Much has been done to limit lepro sy by quarantines. The mediaeva leper, hooded from sight, shaking his rattle and crying out "Unclean!" in warning he has begged for alms, long ago disappeared. Separation Is now in all civilized lands insisted upon The disease is not highly contagious Doctors and nurses work among lep ers with scarcely more fear of the disease than they might feel in consumptives' camp. The bacillus of leprosy has been identified by Dr. Hansen, of Norway, but the Louisianaian cure was not ac complished through any "white mag- ic ot inoculation, out by tnose oral nary precautions of cleanliness, good food and pure air which have proved their efficacy as preventives. Uur uovernment in Hawaii has. n ready succeeded in greatlv diminish ing the number of now cases. Child ren ol the loprous do not now always contract tho diseaso if kept away from contagion. If in addition those who are already unclean may be made whole the scourge of human ity for 3000 years may soon be shorn. ! of most of its terrors. A. SALZMAN, Pratical WatchmaKer, Jeweler, Optician.
