ing 100000 worth of property, comprising
three-quarters of the business portion of

its course only by a fortunate change in
the wind. Twenty buildings, two Of
which were residences, were burned.
The town is entirely defenseless, and the

A Movement to Get Cigar Factories
in the Town.

Waycross, Ga, Feb. 24.-An invitation
has been extended TO the cigar firms of
Key West, Fla, to come here and investi-
gate the inducements offered for
cigar factories. The successful grow
ing of tobacco on the Waycross
experimental tobacco farm during
the last two years, show that the soil is
well adapted TO growing tobacco. The
cigar concerns, II established here, could
grow their own tobacco at very small
cost Of production. The railway facilities
are unsurpassed. The place is growing
IA importance as a commercial center.
Should the invitation be accepted, and a
thorough investigation here be made the
chances are that the cigar firms from
Key Mc8t would be removed here.

BRITISH TARS IN A TRAP.
African SlaVeTS Kill Three Officers
and Ten Men.

The Force Ambushed on Its Way
Back to the Shore, After Capturing
Two Villages - A Murderous Fire
Opened on Them From All Sides as
They Were Marching Through the
Bush.
London, Feb. 24.-Dispatches received
this morning state that the cruiser
Raleigh, the flagship of the British
squadron on the West African coast, and
the gunboat Weidegeon arrived yester-
day at Bathurst, the capital of the Brit
ish West African colony of Gambia.
Landing parties were sent ashore to pun
ish F'adisiloh, a notorious slave trader.
The sailors landed in force,
marched some distance inland
and in a fight with Fadisiloh's
followers were repulsed, with loss of
three officers and ten men killed and
forty seven wounded. Several machine
guns, provisions for four days and an
ample supply of ammunition was taken
ashore. The force was led into ambush
An attempt was made TO use the machine
guns, but the attack was so sudden and
fierce that the British were unable to do
so and were quickly routed.
THE BAD NEWS CONFIRMED.
Later this afternoon the admiralty ad-
mitted that they had received a dis
patch from Admiral Bedford. on board
the flagship Raleigh, at Bathurst, dated
yesterday, and partially confirming all
the stories circulated concerning the dis
aster The admiral said the
landing force was under the
command of Capt Gamble, and that
the carriers, by their desertion, caused
the loss of all spare ammunition taken
ashore for the use of the landing parties
and also the supply of water. The sail
ors captured two villages, which were
defended by stockades. They occupied
these villages throughout the following
night. -
THE ILL-FATED MARCH.
The loss Of the water and ammunition,
however, made Capt. Gamble decide to
return to the shore. This movemet t was
begun early the next morning, ana The
column was on its way back when the
sailors were suddenly attacked on all
sides. The fire was so severe and the
slavers were so we'll concealed in the
bushes that the blue-jackets fell on all
sides and began to retreat hastily, carry
ing their wounded and dead along with
them as far as possible.
