The Hrltisb official pointed out that It was Impossible for the Dews to be true, as Isandhlwana was 192 miles from Pretoria, and no telegraphic or railway communication existed between the two places. On the following day official confirmation of the disaster was brought by mount ed messengers, who were dispatched Immediately after the battle and trav eled at top speed all the way. Yet tbe natives won by twenty hours, and the washerwoman's story was true In tvery detail Tbe assertion that cats are necessary In bakeries Is supported by wide ob servation and by the Judgment of high practical and scientific authorities In all parts of the world.

SCENE OF CARNAGE. Twelve Thousand Soldier Engage In the Slaughter. Nanking, Chlra. Historic Nanking is the shambles of the Manchu butch er. The sun set upon a scene of fire, rapine, desolation and butchery unre corded in modern history. Twelve thousand Manchu and Im perial old-style soldiers hold Purple Hill, where they are entrenched, while from beneath their stronghold they are driving before them hordes of Chinese out of the city. Innocent Chinese, leaving every thing behind them, are fleeing, terror stricken and destitute, to the shelter in the fields at the rear of the reform forces. The latter, numbering be tween 20,000 and 30,000, are Impotent to check the slaughter or avenge the slain, because of their lack of am munition.

REVOLUT.GN IS SWEEPING ON, Canton, the Largsst Chinese City, Formally Proclaims Its Independ ence Foochow Turned Over To Revolutionists. Peking. The residents of the For bidden City are taking In great quan tities of rice and other storeB. Fif teen hundred infantry and COO cavalry of the Manchu First Division, who fled from Shi Kia-Cbuang after the us BasHination of General Wu Lu Cheng, arrived here and entered the city. The legations consider that all hope for the Manchu dynasty has vanished. All consular reports received at the Imperial capital agree that the revo lutionary spirit has got beyond con trol throughout the empire with the exception of Manchuria. The foreign legations have arranged ample protec tion for foreigners. The officials of the British legation are preparing to exercise their right of guarding the railroad from Peking to Tlen-Tsln. The temper of the Manchu troops remains the most serious considera tion. The Chinese greatly fear that they may precipitate a conflict. Al lowing for recent desertions, It Is estimated that there are 22,500 Manchu troops. Prince Ching, the acting premier, stated that the Manchus did not In tend, If besieged, to defend Peking. Chinese officials believe that while the Manchus Intend fully to guard against surprise Inside the city, should the revolutionaries make a serious demon stration outside the walls, the court would begin negotiations, giving up, If necessary, all but their lives and ac cepting such provision for the future as may be offered. The city of Foochow is In the hands of the revolutionists. After taking It they wiped out the entire Manchu dis trict. The foreign settlements have not been disturbed, but fires hove broken out In several sections of the native city, threatening Its destruc tion. Foochow Is one of the most Im portant cities of the south, having a population of 700,000. It Is the seat of a naval arsenal, government ship yards, a mint, a school of navigation and a large dry dock. The s'ltuation In Amoy Is quiet, but a serious state of affairs Is threaten ed, owing to the scarcity of provisions. Most of the city's supply Junks were captured by pirates In a spectacular raid, the entire crew of one ship be ing massacred. The American cruiser Albany ar rived at Amoy together with a Japa nese destroyer. COMMISSION FOR SACRAMENTO. Democrat Will Ee Mayor Until New Law Goes Into Effect. Sacramento, Cal.

SHELLS HALT TURK RAID Italians Relax Their Severity After Resentment By World Red Cross Men Slain. Tripoli, via Malta. Fighting has been resumed about this city and Fort Hamldleh, which Is now held by the Italians. An Italian cruiser in the harbor shelled the desert at sunrise and drove back bands of Turks and Arabs who were creeping toward the city's walls from a clump of palm trees. The severity of the Italians' treat ment of natives has relaxed as a re sult of the wave of resentment ex pressed throughout Christendom. Hundreds of bodies lie exposed In the desert, still unburicd. Among the bodleB discovered by the Italians are those of Red Cross sur geons, who were slain by the natives and Turks In reprisal for the Italians' cruelty. They had gone Into the desert to treat wounded Turkish troops, but had been set upon and killed after being tortured. Arab Women Fight. Malta.

A heavy guard was placed about the Italian consulate here In consequence of a threatened uprising by the Arab population in sympathy with the Turks. EACH PARTY SSES HOPE. The Washington Politicians Get Much Consolation. Washington. Politicians In Wash ington after closely analyzing the re sults of Tuesday's election, generally concede that It somewhat complicated the presidential outlook, with about equal advantages for Republicans and Democrats. Their views are about as badly mixed as were the returns, but all parties profess to find consolation in the outcome. The fact that local issues entered Into the various cam paigns makes It difllcult to use the re sults as a basis for accurate forecast. Republicans say the overturning of the legislatures In New Jersey and New York and the character of the chief magistracy of Maryland protend Republican victory next year. Dem ocrats point to the revolt in such cities as Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Col umbus and Innumerable smaller towns, and the re-election of Foss in Massachusetts, as a harbinger of party success next year and indicative of the trend of the popular mind against the party In power. W. L. Hoimer, In charge of the Progressive Republican League, or La Follette headquarters in Washington, made no statement for publication about the result, but he and those as sociated with him evidently believe they Bee lu the election of Tuesday a material gain in progressive senti ment.

PRESIDENT TAFT ACCEPTS President Taft and Other Distin guished Persons Take Part In Ceremonies Dedicating a Granite Structure. Hodgcnville, Ky The movement inaugurated five years ago by Robert J. Collier, of New York, for the erec tion of a suitable memorial to Abra ham Lincoln at the place of his birth is now an accomplished fact. In the presence of a gathering In which Mason and Dixoii'b Line was obliter ated ImpreHsive exercises were held In dedication of the magnificent me morial structure surrounding and cov ering the old log cabin In which Abra ham Lincoln was born, February 12, 1809. The cornerstone was laid by ex President Roosevelt on the centennial anniversary of Lincoln's birth, two years ago last February. At the dedi cation Thursday President Tott was the central figure. The exercises were held at the Thomas Lincoln farm, which was purchased by the Lincoln Farm Association several yeara ago with a fund raised by popular sub scription. After acquiring the prop erty the association proceeded' with the erection of the memorial building to protect for all time the lowly cabin In which the martyr president was lorn. The memorial stands on a slight elevation where stood the original Lincoln homestead. Some years ago the cabin was removed for exhibition purposes, but was restored to Its original site. The memorial building is an Impos ing structure of white stone, of classic design, with giant pillars ornament ing the front and two sides. The entrance is approached by a broad flight of terraced steps. The dedication exercises were of a simple but Impressive character. In additiou to President Taft the speak ers and prominent participants In cluded Henry Watterson, Governor Wilson, representing the State of Ken tucky, nnd Robert J. Collier, who in augurated the Lincoln farm move ment. President Taft said In part: "Few men have come into public prominence who came absolutely from the soil as did Abraham Lincoln. It is difllcult to Imagine the lack of com fort, accommodation and the necessi ties of life that there were In the cabin In which he was born. "The almost sqitalor In which he pajd his curly life made htm fami liar with the sufferings, thoughts and sympathies of the plain people, and when he came to great power his un derstanding of their reasoning and of their views gave him an advantage In Interpreting their attitude which can not be overstated. "He was not slow, but be was cau tious, deliberative, attentive, as be fitted one who insisted on establish ing every proposition that he adhered to by original reasoning from funda mental postulates. "The diary of his cabinet officers show how, under his very nose and generally with his clear perception of It, political combinations against his Interest were formed only to be dis solved and fall harmless through the pal lent tact of this mnster of men, this greatest of diplomats."
