A DETHRONED DESP0T.
THEEBAW OF BURMAti WILL BE LESS
BLOODY THAN FORMERLY.
The Burmese Butcher to be Interned in
Royal Privacy-Allowed the Slight
Consolation of $50 Wives
His Ministers Victim.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-kng Theebaw's col
lapse is even worse than expected He
was simply driven off in bullock cart to
the British steamer. The Burmese well
coined the English everywhere. Now
Lord Dufferin himself is expected to pro-
coed to Mandalay to make the final dis
position of affairs
The following additional details of the
surrender Of King Theebaw were received
to-day On Saturday.ast Gen. Prender-
CAST at the head of his brigade marched
into Mandalay. King Theebaw at once
received Col. Sladen, who accompanied
the eXpeditionary force as civil com
missioner, at his palace with the usual
eastern formalities. The king was much
affected and frightened He said he hoped
the British would spare his life, that he
wished to abdcate, and would remain
in any house allotted to him by the Brit
ish government King Theebaw claimed
that his ministers had deceived him in re
gard to the situation of affairs that he
was ignorant of what was occurring out
side of Mandalay that he was almost
prisoner in his palace; that he feared as
sassinatiOn if he left the palace. Col
Sladen advised his majesty to plead with
Lord Dutferin, vicerOy of India. On Sun
day King IheebaW surrendered in the
presence of the ministers and embarked
for Calcutta. The French consul accom-
panied his majesty.
Earl Duiferln has decided after com
municating with the home government,
to intern King Theebaw of Burmah in
any remote Indian city which the deposed
monarch shall select and to have him treat
ed as becomes his exalted rank. He will
have all the palaces and all the wives he
wants as Il solace for his captivity, and
the chief difference between his every
day life III future and that of the past will
doubtless be that he Will be restrained
from cutting off the heads of Il few dozen
obnoxious cOurterS or relatives rs the
fancy takes him. \ despatch from Ran
Coon says king Theebaw, although he
had surrendered his army and his king
dom, did not surrendered his own person
until British troops had surrounded
his palace in the city of Mandalay.
Gen Prendergast entered the palace and
received the kings formal act OF submis
sion. The general escorted the King and
queen through the British lines to a car
riage which conveyed them to the steam
ship landing on the lrlawaddy river The
royal captVeS We're then taken on the
steamer to RangoOn and escorted by two
hundred soldiers. Five regiments of in
fantry and one battery of artillery are left
at Mandalay to garrison the palace auC
perform provost duty.

New YORK, Dec. 3.-For the first time
in the history of football Il game was
played last evening in the skating rink,
The Canadian team now visiting Newark
played the first of three matches with the
.. n. H., for an international challenge
cup in the Newark rink. Only six men
played on each side. The game was finely
contested The ball was kicked off at Q
p. M, and during the first half hourthe
play was so good that no goal was scored
by either side. After that time, Palmer.
of the Canadians especially distinguished
himself in passing the ball, and from II
very fine double, 4. Gibson scored Il goal
for Canada, which was the only one OBJ
tanned during the game.

a POISONED DISH.


MONTREAL, Dec. A most untOward
incident took place recently at the Metro
poltan club, Beaver hall. a very short
time after dinner eight gentlemen, all in
fact who had taken soup, became suddenly
very ill. The symptoms were those of
poisoning, and medical aid was ut once
summoned and everything possible was
done to avert serious consequences. All
passed Il most unpleasant night, and sev-
eral have not yet completely recovered
from the evil effects of the dose.
There is absolutely nothing to serve as Il
clue to the perpetrators and ii is feared
nothing will ever be found out about it.
There was no ill-will or bad feeling in any
quarter that could possibly have prompted
such deed. 1t is said that the soup was
IA game soup, and hunters sometimes use
arsenic to poison game with, putting the
dead animals on the market as if lawfully
killed which may possibly be the eXplana-
ton. The dinner was one given by Even
McLennan, Il leading member of the Met
ropolitan club.

More Interaction Between the Military
and Inferior Department Needed.

More Interaction Between the Military
and Interior Department Needed.
WAsuINGTON, Dec. 3,-Brigadier-Gen-
eral Crook of the department of Arizona
in his annual report, describes the cir
cumstances of the outbreak of Chiricahuas
last spring, and declares substantially that
the want of harmony between the interior
department and the military makes such
outbreaks possible. He says in 1882 he
found the Apaches huddled about the
agency where there was no land to cult
Nate The Indians complained of this,
but Agent Wilcox said he was acting in
strict compliance with his orders in
keeping them there He said, however,
that if Gen. Crook would take the whole
responsibility of their management he
would make no objection to their removal
to other localities. Wilcox told Gen:
Crook frankly that he knew nothing of
the management of Indians; he had no
confidence in the Apaches and asked Gen.
Crook to manage them in his own way.
