.London, Aug. 31. A dispatch to the
Central News from Shanghai says : f A
Che Foo diBpatch states the Japanese
warships conveying a number of trans
ports landed troops at Liau Tie Shan
August 30th. These troops were
marched at once to Fort Arthur, the
Japanese warships in the meantime
bombarding the forts at that place.
The object of the Japanese is to destroy
the docks and forts at Fort Arthur in
order to prevent disabled Chinese ves
sels from sheltering there for repairs.
The fight is still in progress."
One Thousand Chinese Killed.
Hong Kong, Aug. 31. A terrible fire
has occurred on Canton river, hundreds
of flower-boats being burned. ' The
flower-boats were moored stem and
stern in rows, and a large number of
persons lived upon them. The confla
gration spread from one boat to another,
and was so rapid that the unfortrnate
Chinese had no time to cat them from
their moorings, a strong wind materi
ally helping to increase the fire. Many
hundreds of persons leaped overboard
and were drowned.
nave Attacked Fort Arthur.
Shanghai, Aug. 31. Advices from
Che Foo state the Japanese fleet has
again attacked Port Arthur. Chinese
Junks from New Chwang report the
passing of many corpses of Japanese
soldiers at the mouth of the Tatung
river. This is taken as confirmation of
the reported Japanese defeat on the
American Prisoners at Bluelields.
New Yokk, Aug. 41. A special from
Managua says the World correspondent
interviewed the Mosquito coast prison
ers, who claim they can say nothing
nbout their cases, which are now in the
hands of lawyers. . Sight American
prisoners are making common cause.
If the foreign prisoners are sentenced
they will incur a nominal penalty, but
the native prisoners are risking death.
It is stated La Cayo will ask Baker's
recall, Among the prisoners not ex
pelled are Patterson, Taylor, Ingram
and Bowling, Americans, whose cases
will be tried in the local courts. The
government says it will make an exam
ple of these men, and is foBtering a feel
1 ing against Americans successfully.
Gray's Swell Function.
City of Mexico, Aug. 31. A grand
reception and ball was given by United
Minister Isaac P. Gray last night. The
legation was illuminated by electricity,
and was profusely and beautifully deco
rated. Four hundred guests were pres
ent, among them- President Diaz, Mrs.
and Miss Diaz, members of the cabinet,
and diplomatic representatives and con
gressmen, bankers, governors of states
and members of the bar. Fifty honored
guests sat at the official table, which
was presided over by the American min
ister. The principal toast was proposed
by Gray, and was answered by Presi
dent Diaz. It related to the existing
friendly relations between Mexico and
the United States.
Felxoto Is Too Much Feared.
Kio Jameiro, Aug. 31. Citizens here
are being arrested. Among them are
Morales' friends. ' Prominent congress
men opposing Peixoto believe that no
accusation will be presented against him,
as he is greatly feared. The warship
Constat has been ordered to Rio Grande
de Sul, probably to bring back the min
ister of war. It is rumored that im
portant changes in the cabinet are im
minent. '
Arsenic and . quinine are dangerous
drups to accumulate in one's system,
aad?t is to be hoped that these poisons,
3 a remedy for ague, have, had their
day. Ayer's Ague Cure is a sure anti
dote for the ague, is perfectly safe to
take, and is warranted to cure.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
The Vanderbllt Scandal
Chicago, Aug. 31. The Herald says :
"Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt has been un
popular socially for a long period. Two
summers ago at Newport comment on
the flirtation between Mrs. Vanderbilt
and O. H. P. Belmont was very general
and unfavorable, and only, the immense
wealth of the family kept condemnation
down. They were constantly together,
and he was one of the few visitors ad
mitted to the marble house. Their in
timacy was so notable that the general
talk was that a divorce would surely be
procured. After Mr. Yanderbilt's re
turn to Newport the gossip- increased.
So far as could be judged, outward har
mony prevailed, and when Mr. and Mrs.
Vanderbilt left Newport in the early
autumn they droye to New York on a
brake with four horses. Mr. Belmont
was one of the party and continued on
with them to Oakedale, their Long Is
land county seat. ' Mr. Vanderbilt was
in England seeing to the construction of
his new yacht during the following
winter. Mrs. Vanderbilt remained at
the Filth-avenue . residence, and Mr.
Belmont continued his attentions:
Early in the season of 1893 Mrs. Vander
bilt returned to Newport and opened her
marble house, and matters were much
the same as usual until the arrival of
Mr. Vanderbilt. After that there was a
visit to Chicago, with Mr. Belmont on
hand as usual, and then came the pro
jected trip on the Valiant, which ended
as everyone said it would disastrously.
Mr. Belmont was, it is believed, per
suaded with great difficulty to go. He
is not a man of means. It was the talk
at that time that W. S. Hoyt, who was
urged to be one of the party, declined
when he ascertained that Mr. Belmont
was to go along. The general gossip at
Newport now is that W. K. Vanderbilt
wants to be free and marry the Duchess
of Manchester.
A Tropical Keceptlon.
City of Mexico, Aug. 31. It is report
ed here that the last steamer from Bar
celona brought nine anarcnists for this
city, with a view to begin a propaganda
of their ideas. The Spanish minister
here has received cablegram' from Mad
rid, and has communicated the news to
this government, which by order of Pres
ident Diaz, immediately ordered the ar
rest of the anarchists and their imprison
ment in the fortress of San Juan Ulva,
at Vera Cruz, where they are now under
strict guard. The Free Masons of this
capital have issued a call to the fraternity
in all parts of the republic to co-operate
in the pursuit of anarchists landing at
any Mexican port.
Petition for a Kert action of Ball.
San Francisco, Aug. 30. The attor
neys for R. H. McDonald, jr., will peti
tion the court to reduce his bail from
$75,000 to $25,000. It will be argued
that excessive bail prohibited by the
constitution can be defined only by judi
cial usage. An instance cited in favor of
reduction is that of Leonard, of the bank
of Santa Clara, with 40 indictments for
embezzling $260,000. His bail was re
duced from $25,000 to $15,000.
The Vigilant Won Today.
Dartmouth, England, Aug. 31. The
Vigilant defeated the Satanita today in a
race over a 40-mile course. The Brit
annia did not start on account of the
drowning of her chief officer last Satur
day. The wind was light, favoring the
Vigilant. The Satanita had 32 seconds
the best of the start, but at the end of
the first round the Vigilant had a lead
of 15 minutes and 10 seconds.
An Ocean Greyhound.
London Aug. 31. The steamship
Campania, of the Cunard line, which
cleared the bar at New York at 1:15 p.
m., and passed Sandy Hook lightship at
2:05 p. m., Saturday, August 25th,
passed Daunt's rock at 5 :34 o'clock this
morning, having made the passage in 5
days, 10 hours and 47 minutes, beating
the record about 1 hour and 13 minutes.
The .Britannia Will Start.
London, Aug. 31. The Pall Mall Ga
zette says it is positively settled that the
Britannia will eail in the race for the
Cape May cup. ' The race will be started
with the firing of two guns, which de
tail being settled, the Gazette adds, the
Vigilant's last excuse for a growl will be
removed. "'- ;-" - - - ' '.-

How often you hear this
expression, and the ex
planation that usually
follows : "I am troubled
with dyspepsia." The
explanation is not far to
seek. In the past Lard
has been used as the prin
cipal shortening in all
pastry, the result dys
pepsia. The dyspeptic
need no longer be
troubled, providing

is substituted for lard in
the preparation of all food.
