record OF an early British monarch who
consulted astrology for an explanation Of
the omen suggested By a "naevus," or

the court astrologer Is reported TO have
said when his fate he had read and
cast his natiyitee, that a mole on the face

ALL DUT SIXTY
Of an Army of 5000 Men Killed in
Somaliland---The Story Verified.

London, October 13.-J. Bennett
Stanford, who has just returned from
taking part in an expedition to Soma
liland, brings news Of the annihila-
ton at the end of June of an Abyssin-
ian army of 5000 men under the con-
troll of the famous Gen. Ras Mackon-
men, of which number only 60 escaped.
Mr. Stanford, to a representative OF
the Associated Press, to-day said:
while in the interior we came across
a powerful Somali chief, who had just
returned from the fight. He told me
that the Abyssinian force had been
raiding down the Webbe- Shebeyli
river, nearly as far as the forty-fifth
parallel. The Somalis then over
whelmed them with large numbers, al
lowing sixty men to go back with the
news of the defeat. Ras Mackonnen
was killed during the battle.
The affair occurred about one hum
bred miles from where we were. The
whole neighborhod is still greatly ex-
cited, and the possession of many
Italian rifles by the Somalis is evil
dence that the story told of the Abys-
sinian defeat is true"
