plucky Philadelphia, who for the last year and
half has been exploring the wds of Eastern Africa.
and at the same time puts an end to the doubt Of
his safety which has been felt by those interested
in the expedition for the last few months
DR. Smith entered Africa on the eastern coast at
about the third degree of north latitude year ago
last June to push the country OF the Galreas
and Nasal to two lakes which had been discovered
by another expedition. and thence on to the two
Nyanzas his object being to carry out and complete
the line of exploration from the lakes to the east
coast q distance OF several hundred miles. DIR.
Smith was accompanied by about $50 Africans and
at first by an Englishman. who was subsequently
obliged to return to London. Dr. Smith sent back
some fine specimens OF the regions flora, after he
had been on his expedition a few months. for the
evidences OF his safety there have been none until
the arrival Of his cable dispatch last evening
AS the region which DIR. Smith has traversed is
at the present time represented by blank space

pore-s brief message will be realized Immediately

were about equal in numbers to their opponents,
and they attacked them with sticks and stones
There were no police around
For nearly an hour the battle RACED and 1t soon
became bloody. Some were fighting at long range
with stones and others. the majority. at short
range, with sticks and fists There were lots OF
bloody and heads. At the least estimate a
dozen boys went home with cut soaps .
The Broadway cable-cars were in great danger
from the flying stones, though only few windows
broken The passengers In these cars were
greatly scared.
The battle was finally quelled by ex-policeman
yhom none seemed to know: He scared the boys
with his shield. and managed after while TO dis
perse the mob. Along Prince-st. a number Of
windows were broken
