FOREIGNERS i MASSACRED j Unverified Reports to That Effect Received in London. STILL FIGHTING AT TIEN TSIN Eight Hundred Americans Said to Have Arrived On the Scene and Arc Taking Part. “Eight hundred Americans are tak¬ ing part' in the fight at Tien Tain,” says the Shanghai correnpondent of the London Daily Express, cabling Friday evening, "and they apparently form a part of a supplementary force, arriving with Germans and British after the conflict started. It is impossible to estimate the number of Chinese, but they had a surprising number of guns. ” This information appears to have been brought by the United Stutes gunboat Nashvilie toChe Foo and telo graphed thence to Shanghai. The Chinese are deserting Shanghai in large numbers and going into the in¬ terior. Reports from native sources continue to reach Shanghai of anarchy in Pektn. According to these tales the streets are filled day and night with Boxers, who are wholly beyond the control of the Chinese troops, and who are working themselves up to a frenzy and clamoring for the death of all for¬ eigners. A speolal dispatch from Shanghai received in London Friday saying it was reported from Japanese sources that 1,500 foreigners have been mas¬ sacred at Tien Tsin caused great com¬ ment, but the statement lacked official confirmation. On June 17 the Chinese shelled the foreign settlement and the Chinese military college was attacked by a mixed force of 175 Austrians, British. German and Italiuus. They destroyed the guns and burned the college which contained a considerable store of am¬ munition aud killed its defenders. The Russians, with their four heavy guns, did excellent service. The British loss was one man killed und tivo men wouuded. The Germans had one killed, the Italians had five men wounded, and the Russians had seven men killed and five wouuded. Reur Admiral Bruce, at Taku, tele¬ graphed Friday night the further in¬ formation that at Tien Tsin, June ‘20th, lighting was proceeding aud re enforcements were required. The consuls at Shanghai still be¬ lieve the foreign ministers at Pekin safe, although Japanese reports re¬ ceived at Shanghai allege that up to Juno 15th 100 foreigners had boon killed in Pekin. It is reported that tho British gov¬ ernment will immediately send 1,500 marines to Chiua aud possibly, accord¬ ing to some of the morning papers, li,000 of the regulars now with Lord Roberts. WILL MIND TUOOPH TO OU1NA. A Washington special says; The only new* from Chinn laid before the cab¬ inet meeting Friday was a telegram to tho secretary of tho navy, giving the movements of vessels iu Chinese waters. Tho toit of the message, however, was not made public. That tho president and the mem¬ bers of tho cabinet regard tho situa¬ tion in Chin* as extremely critical is shown by the fact that preliminary preparations are being made to send forward additional troops in case of need. A telegram was sent to General MacArthur Friday afternoon asking him how largo a force he can spare should it become necessary to send thorn to China. The administration is endeavoring to stimulate the dispatch of troops aud naval re-enforcements to China to meet tho emergeusy at Tien Tain. Tuo emergency described in Admiral Kompff’s dispatches has led tho war department to make an extra effort to hurry forward tho Ninth regiment from Luzon to Taku. The war de¬ partment is now determined that this movement shall be liastenod. There is also good reason to believe that the authorities will dispatch at least one other regiment from Manila to China with the least possible delay. The United States consulate at Tien Tsin, which late news advices report to have been destroyed, is situa^d far up on the Meadows road, which runs np from the Pei Ho river directly through the center of the town. It is far removed from any of the other consulates aud practically isolated from all other foreign buildings. A recent census of Tien Tsin shows tho foreign population to be about 1,000 persons, including 110 Ameri¬ cans. Thus the report from Japanese sources that 1,500 foreigners at Tien Tain had been massacred would seem to be untrue or grossly exaggerated iu poiut of numbers. UULLt.lt IIUH kv llOl'.RS. Secure) a F.dIUuu Wot «f Lain*) Xek To Mt'iiaiv Iturghrm. A Ijoudoti special of Fiiclay Mivst General Buller ha* at loiigtn tukiiti the offensive aud by maneuvering lie has secured a position west of Lain '« neck, by which he believes he can make the Buer position? untenable. Presumably he will lmmediiittiy loiiow up his success. Lord Roberts has communicated nothing for three days. FREE STATERS ACTIVE President Steyn’s Forces Are Now Engaging the Attention of Lord Roberts’ Army. A London special of Friday says: General Steyn’s forces in the Orange River colony are for the time drawing most of the attention of Lord Rob¬ erts, rather to the neglect of Com¬ mandant General Louis Botha and President Kruger. The severance between the Tians vaal and Orange River colony was completed Thursday, as Lord Roberts said it would be, by the arrival of General Buller’s advance guard, under Lord Dundonald, at Standersou. The wide net around the 6,000 or 8,000 men under General Steyn will now contract. Adroit maneuvering aud brisk fighting are likely to take place, because until ell rcai-dance south of the Vaal is at an end the British line of communication will not be safe. President Kruger’s sons, who sur¬ rendered to General Baden-Powell, are back on their farms working peaceful¬ ly. General Baden-Powell rode with only 300 men from Mafeking, and he made the last section of this ride to Pretoria with only thirty-live. Lord Roberts met him in the outskirts of the town and escorted him to the presidency. have General Dewet’s farm houses iieeu burned by the British. General Buller has issued a special order eulogizing the service of Strath cona’s Horse. Captain Jones and the brigade from her majesty’s ship Forte have been or¬ dered buck to the ship at the admiral’s request. Netherlands Railroad Company The of South Africa has received official notification of the expulsion from the Transvaal of 100 of its employees with ■ heir families. The Dutch consul at Lonrenzo Marques telegraphs that a proclamation has boon issued - to the effect that the company’s officials who refuse to do British military work will be sent back to Europe via east Lon¬ don, Cape Colony. Advices from Lonrenzo Marques state that President Kruger’s principal condition for immediate peaco is that ho he allowed to stay in the country. There are 50,000 British siek aud wounded at Protoria. Mrs. Reitz,wife of the Transvaal state secretary, and her family, who arrivod at Lonrenzo Marques en route for Europe, had so little money that the Dutch consul purchased second class steamship tick¬ ets for them. CZAR A CENSOR. (hhuoh StrliiKFiit Killed For Newspaper Cor res pond onttf. The Vienna correspondent of The London Daily Express says that the Russian minister of the interior, M. Bipaguine, has issued tho following in¬ structions for the guidance of newspa¬ pers in dealing with the far eastern situation: “1. No reference to tho movement of Russian troops or warships. “2.

A Setting of Eggs. Most people, when ordering a setting of eggs, ask aud expect the seller to scud fifteen, and when they arrive tho entire lot is placed under one hen, re¬ gardless of her gize. Now, this is a great mistake, and the seller would Jiave less complaint if he would refuse to send more than thir¬ teen, and twelve would be better. A heu that will cover more than this number is too large to set, and will break some of tho eggs during the first few days, while thp smaller beifs can¬ not cover al} of that number, and s.ome of the eggs are loft unprotected aud get chilled. Hens that will weigh from four to five pounds make the best setters, and one of that size will cover not more than eleven eggs; and I venture to say that they will hatch out more strong, healthy chicks than will a hen tliat is given from thirteen to fifteen eggs, Atlanta, Ga., Oot. 1st, 'ST9.

Children have a natural craving for sweet tilings, aud the sugar of milk, which makes up from four to six per cent, of it, forms an important part of baby’s first nutriment, taking the place of starch until the child’s stomach is able to assimilate it; so that a two year-old child drinking two quarts of milk a day, consumes in this way, about three ounces of sugar. Owinw to its ease of digestion, and the fact that it supplies heat and energy tc -he body, sugar would seem to be a natural food for children and Is more acceptable to most children than fat, which usually supplies heat and energy to adults. The question whether the use of too much sugar by children does not pervert their tastes from less highly-fiavored and nu¬ tritious foods lias to he considered. A lump of sugar contains as much nutrition as an ounce of potato and is far more easily assimilated. In times of great exertion, as are likely to oc cur in army life, this feature is par¬ ticularly valuable. In warm countries sugar takes the place of fat, and either sugar or sweet fruits, as dates, figs, etc., are eaten In large quautitles in tropical climates. As a source of mus¬ cular enegry sugar is rapidly becoming recognized, so that training diets are Sometimes made to include large quan¬ tities of it, as, for instance in the row¬ ing clubs of Holland. Fresh Water Three Miles From Land. Every little schoolboy and girl in America has learned from the geo¬ graphy that the fresh water current of the Amazon extends Into the ocean twenty miles from the mouth of that noble river, so thut ships are able to get drinking water from the ocean when out of sight of land. But even among the grown folk it is not gener¬ ally known that Americans have a riv¬ er in which they can tuke similar pride. On still, calm days the crew of the lightship anchored three miles south¬ west of the mouth of the Columbia iUver, Oregon, are able at strong ebb tide to send a bucket over the side and bring up water so palatably fresh as to be used for drinking. This fresh water spreads out over the surface of the ocean in the shape of a fan, the apex being the mouth of the Columbia. It is ouly about two feet in depth, and If the bucket is allowed to sink below that the water with which it is filled is strong with ocean brine.
