gallantry and did not stop firing until,
in response to the fiagships signal Of
"cease firing" the guns of the warships
stopped sEowering shot and shell
ashore. The losses of the enemy are
not known, but must have been heavy,
especially among the defenders of the
palace proper.
During the bombardment the sultan's
armed steamer Glasgow opened fire on
the British warships, but a few well
aimed shells from the heavy guns of
the Raccoon, and shot or two from
the 4-inch guns Of the Sparrow crashed
through and through her, silenced her
fire in short order, and ultimately sunk
her at her moorings.
Soon after the palace caught fire, and
the walls and roof were sent flying here
and there by the shells of the warship.
Said Khalid and Said Sales, the latter
being the commander of the usurper's
army, escaped with number of their
leading followers through the back part
of the palace and hurriedly made their
way to the German consulate, where
they asked for protection, which was
acco. .ded them.

the escape of Said Khalid and his fol-
lowers to the mainland Of Africa, where
their presence would undoubtedly have

nues of escape, thus hemming i'll the
enemy pretty effectually.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, in response
to another signal from the flagship St.
George, reinforcements of marines and
sailors We're sent ashore from the Brit
ish ships, and the work of capturing
the insurgents, collecting the dead and
attending to the wounded was com
menced.
The dead will be buried, and. for the
present, the island will be administered
by Admiral Rawson, pending the re-
ceipt of further instructions from the
British government.

DUN WATER SUPPLY.

The Virgm.ln has no fear of a water

not often that this section Is visited

Norfolk can supply the water wants of
Il population of hundreds of thousands.
That, however, Is only an opinion, even
though 1t may be the belief of Il great
many others. But what is wanted are
facts and figures, the best that expert
experience and Information can furnish.
Therefore. It is proper that the Coun-
ellis should act promptly on the recon-
