THE FALL OF SINKAT.
An Eye Witness Describes the Desperate
Charge of Tewfik Bey's Forces.

A correspondent at Suakim tele-
graphs to London: s'At last the heroic gar
rison at Sinkat has been butchered. For a
fortnight they have been eating roots and
tree leaves, and it was feeble band indeed
which made sortie to die amidst the rebel
hordes. Tewfik Bey had harangued his
men, saying by fighting they might save
themselves; by remaining idle they must
die from hunger in few days. Flight was
impossible. The men thus animated
with Tewfik Bey's spirit destroyed the
stores, exploded the magazines, filed
their pouches to the utmost with
cartridges and issued forth six hundred
strong against the rebels. Osman Dignia's
hordes rushed to the attack. Tewfk Bey
and his men fought nobly, and for long
time they repulsed every attempt to break
their ranks. Finally superior plumbers pre-
vailed, and with tremendous yells the reb-
els burst through one of the sides Of the
sued and not soul escaped. According to
latest reports only four sick men, unable to
take part in the sortie, were left in Sinkat
and they were spared by the rebels. Be-
fore the sortie rebel shiek approached
Sinkat and summoned Tewfik Bey to sur
render, saying his life would be spared.
The garrison answered defantly, reviling
the rebels. During the sortie the women
and children followed in the rear of the
soldiers. A large number of rebels were
killed. The rebels are now massing in the
vicinity of Saukim, and an attack is be-
lieved to be imminent.

The sting Of the bill is palpably directed
against Germany alone. Germany has al
ways maintained friendly disposition to-
ward America, and does everything posi-
BILE to show her friendship, and this sud-
den anti-German attitude on the part of
America eXcites in us regret and astonish-
ment. We do not assume that American
statesmen are disposed to entertain the
opinion that Germany can be induced by
threat to rescind the measure enforced in

RESULTS OF THE FLOOD.
Buildings Tumbling Down and Burying
the Occupants in the Ruins.

CINCINNATI, February 15.-At $40
this morning fire alarm sounded from a
box at Ludlow and Pearl streets, where the
water surrounds the houses, aud Iwhen the
engines reached the place it was discovered
that the rear Of two brick buildings on the
south side of Pear, near Ludlow, had fallen
and ten persons had been buried in the
ruins or drowned. The occupants from the
other portion had given the alarm, and be-
fore the real cause could be ascertained the
fire alarm was sounded.
The buildings that fell were occupied as
boarding houses by Robert Kyle and Geo.
Oyester. There were about thirty-five peo-
pie in the buildings at the time. The fol-
lowing are known to have been killed,
either by falling timbers or drowning: John

bodies had been found, making the total
number of victims twelve, but it was after.

called Winkler in the reports were Mr.. and
Mrs. Woenker. This leaves the total num-
Der Of victims, so far as known, ten. The
body of Maud Ellis was also recovered. The
body of another woman was found fS
under the partition wall, but, owing to he
danger of the other walls falling, further
search was abandoned till the water falls.

A Girls Horrible Fate.

Henry Carson and his daughter Kitty
lived in the wilds of Wautauga county,
n. c., half dozen miles from any hui
man habitation. Old man Carson raised
tobacco and cotton sufficient to support
his household with the necessaries of
life, and all his spare time he spent in
hunting bears and other game. Miss
Kitty was pretty girl and smart, con-
sidering the disadvantages under which
she had always labored, and was gen.
eral favorite among the backwoods
swains, half a dozen of whom were al
ways at her feet. One day recently Miss
Kitty disappeared, and there were ugly
rumors in the air to the effect that she
had eloped with a young man from Muir
ply, who had been frequently seen in
those parts and against whom it was
known old man Carson had "grudge
of some kind. When her father was
asked what had become of the young
girl he simply remarked that he supposed
" she had skipped" Carson was tramp
ing through one of the great nameles
swamps of the county one day, following
some bear tracks, when sight met his
eyes that transixed him with horror. In
a depression of the swamp from which
the water had recently receded were the
remains of human body, the entire up
per part of which above the waist had
been eaten away by wild animals. From
the remains of clothing Carson recog-
nized all that was left of his daughter.
Crazed with grief, he carried the news
to the nearest settlement, and party of
neghbors assisted him to bring the
mangled remains home. 1t is supposed
that Miss Kitty became entangled in the
mire and was unable to extricate herself,
and that while in this utterly helpless
position bears or other animals had killed
her and eaten as much of the body as
then remained above the water. Evil
dences of severe struggle were present
in the trampled Gown bushes and torn
and bloody clothes.

Gulls, Eggs as a Food DAINTY.

Judge Sawyer has decided that the
ejectment by United States Marshal
Poole of the egg-gatherers from the
South Farallon Island was right. Gath
ering of gull eggs is now confined to the
two smaller Farallones, the gatherers not
being allowed upon the larger, where
the eggs are the most numerous. This
makes the supply here much less than
the demand. The season for gull eggs
did not this year come in before the first
of June. The value of gull eggs in this
market is about thirty and thirty-tive
cents per dozen, or the same as chicken
eggs. From ten to twelve hundred
dozen a week are gathered in the season.
These are sold not altogether to hotels
and restaurants, as is supposed. but are
extensively used by individuals They
are a very strong food, and therefore
valuable in cooking, though many have
tastes too sensitive to successfully cope
with the gull in an egg state, even when
shrouded in the mysteries of a restaurant
custard or German pancake.
"There are many pioneers who lived
on gull eggs in the early days said a
Clay street dealer, "and they look for
the egg season to open with the same inn
patience as young girl awaits a new
bonnet These eggs are their medicant
and they would have boils and spring
fever if they could not get them. n-Saa
