BERLIN, Oct. Authentic details of

greatly modify the gravity of the af-

the noncommissioned officers were as

major was speaking q window in the
school building was thrown open and
. pupil whom the officers failed to iden-

Won Stettin demanded the name of the
culprit but every one in the yard
refused to betray his identity.
Subsequently the personal effects
of all the students We're examined and
a%'qunntity of socialistic pamphlets and
other literature was found. The ndju-

shortly before midnight a battalion of
the guards marched to the school and
surrounded the buildings. Major Won
Stettin ordered them to shoot down
any of the prisoners who attempted to
escape. The men silently submitted to
their arrest und at once took their de-

During Saturday twenty soldiers be.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-Advices from
Shanghai to the Central News agency
say the emperor attributes the recent
defeats suffered by the Chinese forces
to incompctcncy and corruption and
this fact has caused almost II panic in
the palace and has rendered the posi-
ton of affairs in China extremely seri-
Gus.
Tie correspondent Of the Central
News agency in Toxic telegraphs that
the commander of the Japanese warship
Nnniwa, reports that in company with
the Akitsushima on September % he
made search in the Gulf OF Tairenwan
in Manchuria and found stranded there
the Chinese cruiser Kwang Kai. Upon
sighting the Japanese ships entering
the gulf the Chinese who were aboard
the Kwang Kai set their vessel on fire
and fled.
Later advices state that the Kwnng
Kai was SO badly injured as to render
her useless for further service in wal
and the japanese completed the work
of destroying her.

1t was an incident of the military

was an officer who was with a strong
column in a forced march from the
coast. The troops had started before
daybreak, and had rapidly approached

At noon they halted for reinforce

his story.

"and knew that the provision train wonld

a small house not far away on another

me that it could be approached without
observation from II road by a detour
through the woods and that | might find
there something to eat"
Then he told how he crept through
the woods with half a dozen scouts and
made a dash for the house, noticing as
they entered it three officers in gray
riding rapidly away toward the town.
Again came an interruption from the
other side of the table:
Il was one Of those horsemen. We
had been taken by surprise and after
finding out how strong was the column
on the main road by using our field
glasses from the upper windows we had
started in hot haste for Headquarters in

Everybody at the table smiled as the
story was resumed.
"We found a colored woman inside,
who told us that she had cooked a din
ncr for three confederate officers, but
that when 1t was ready they had sud-
denly mounted their horses and hurried
away.
"The table was spread and a fine
goose roasted to a turn was on a platter,
with baked sweet potatoes and a bottle
of wine. We posted one nan guard

never enjoyed any other dinners much

when | left the house."
The company laughed heartily as the
two veterans, who had once fought in
opposing armies, but were then dining
at peace in London, compared notes
about the goose.
The world did not seem SO big, after
all, when these two men could discover
each other in an English house after
thirty years and langhingly agree that
1t was a good goose, whoever paid for
It.
