ZANZIBAR. Aug. 27.-Tre palace OF,
the usurping sultan, Said Khalid, to-,
night is in ruins. and Said Kha1id and
his adherents are domiciled in the Ger
man consulate.
Hamoud, a cousin of thsIate sultan,
has been proclaimed successor to the
sultanate. The guns of the Britisll
warships Thrush. Sparrow and Rac-j
coon were trained upon the palace this
morning, when Said Khalid, in re-,
Spouse to the demand that he surren-
der. refused to comply with the terms
of the English ultimatum.
Shot and shell poured from the men
of-war, and the walls Of the palace
crumbled before it.
The custom house was the next prom
inent building to receive attention from
the gunners of the fleet, and n a short
time it was a mass of smouldering ru-
ms. The steamer Glasgow. which was
owned by the late sultan, and which
carried number Of guns, was then
sunk by the warships-
All on board the Glasgow were res
cued by boats from the bombarding
ships Among them were a large num-
Der of sailors and marines, who had
been wounded. Many of the British
residents boarded the warships lying
in the harbor before the bombardment
began, all of the ladies taking refuge
upon the steamer st. George, the flag
ship of Rear Admiral Harry H. Raw
son, but a large number of Europeans
remained on shore. Most of the rebels
stood to their guns pluckily and fought
well, though after the first broadside
was fired from the warships a num-
Der Of the defenders of the palace fled
to the outskirts of the town. where
many robberies were committed.
Several Indian soldiers were killed
during the fight.
The Thrush hit sixty-two times and
the Raccoon sixteen times by shots
from the guns of the rebels.
The loss to Said Khalid's force was
very heavy, but the exact number Of
the killed and wounded is not known.
The only casualty on the British side
was the serious injuring Of one sea-
man. No material damage was sus-
tanned by the British war vessels.
The followers of Said Khalid were
stationed behind barbados, and kept
up a steady fire upon the British SOL
diers and marines, until their posi-
lions were carried.
A force of British marines, with 400
loyal Zanzibarls, held the main road,
while other sailors and marines
brought in the prisoners and collected
the dead for burial.
Said Khalid's confidence is said to
have been strengthened by reinforce
ments from the slave dealers in the in
terror, who were afraid that should En-
gland assume control they would lose
possession of their property, estimated
at a quarter of a million slaves, and
the prevention of further traffic in hui
man flesh in this portion Of Africa.
All the roads leading from Zanzibar
are patrolled by British marines and
loyal Zanzibaris, and many encounters
were had between the fleeing rebels
and the soldiers.
Tonight the island is under the au-
thOrity Of Admiral Rawson, and he
will so act until he receives further
instructions from the home govern
ment.

Sydney, Apia and Honolulu with latest
advices from the Southern ocean do

Apia the sloop Spray was in port with
Captain Slocum, the intrepid Amer

The Spray is a fifteen-ton vessel, and
when she started from Boston for the
antipodes via the southern route, I'm
accompanied by sailor or mate. the
story of his undertaking was spread
broadcast over the entire world.
The Spray arrived at Apia on July

Washington Politicians Are Watch
ing Every Movement.

Especial to The Herald)
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27-The
situation in Idaho, where Populists and
Democrats have fused without includ-
ing silver Republicans, is being keenly
watched at Populist headquarters here
The hope is entertained that some
plan will be devised whereby silver Re
publicans may be included in the
fusion. The managers here are in cor
respondence with the leaders in Idaho
and strong efforts will be made to
bring about an arrangement satisfac-
tory to all. Chairman Jones of the
national Democratic committee has
also been instrumental in urging some
recognition of silver Republicans.
Chairman Butler of the Populist ex-
ecutive committee is especially anxious
that some arrangement may yet be
reached, for the effect that he thinks
1t would have on other western states.
He is confident that the rank and file
of the parties interested in Idaho are
beginning to see what he says is the
injustice which leaves out the silver
Republicans, and believes that there
may yet be an opportunity of includ-
ing them in the agreement. The state
Republican convention assemblies soon,
and as Senator Dubois has captured
the greater number of counties. there
will. Mr.. Butler thinks, probably be
split in the convention, and
chance thereby be offered to the ma
jority to reach terms with the fusion
