BRITISH TAKE BENIN CITY.
King Drunani F1ees and In Likely Il
BE Captured.

AAnG DFunahi Flees and fs Likely to
BE Captured.
The expedition which was formed to pun
ish Drunami, King Of Benin, in West Afri-
ca, for the murder Of the members Of q
peaceable British expedition which was at
tempting to reach Benin City, has been
successful. The expedition has captured
Benin City, and the king is fugitive. He
fled northward, but a part OF the expedition
Is In pursuit of him, and 1t is expected that
he will be taken prisoner.
When the expedition entered the town Il
was found that it well deserved its name
of City Of Blood Many victims Of the
Ju Ju, or Fetish priests, were found cruci-
fled. they having been sacrificed to the
various gods. The Ju Ju houses and their
compounds were reeking with the blood of
those who had recently been beheaded in
the religious ceremonies.
In the fighting that took place before the
town was captured, seventeen European
and twenty-three native members of the
expedition were killed or wounded.
No trace was found of Mr.. Campbell.
consular official who was captured by the
Beninites at the time of the massacre. and
1t Is supposed that he was KILLED by his
captors shortly after he was made q pris-
oner.
Early in January news reached Bonny
and Grass on the Niger coast, Of the mas
sacre by natives of Benin of q British ex-
petition Under command of Acting Consul
Phillips. The other European members of
the expedition were Major Copeland-Craw-
ford of the Ith Battalion, Kings Royal
Rifles, who was deputy commissioner and
vice consul in the Niger coast protectorate:
Captain Boisragon. commandant Of the
9constabulary of the protectorate; Captain
Mailing, wing officer of the same force:
Messrs Locke and Campbell of the consular
staff: DR.. Elliott, medical officer, and
Messrs. POwis and Gordon, civilians, repre-
sentatives of British trading firms. Besides
these there were 2JO kroomen and native
carriers. The expedition was unarmed,
fact that has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned, as 1t was well known that the
King of Benin had threatened to kill any
European who attempted to visit his cap
ital.
Everything went well until the expedition
was within a few miles of Benin City, when
1t was amhusked. and all the Europeans,
except Captain Boisragon and Mr.. Locke,
who escaped in the bush, and Mr. Camp
bell, who was captured, were massacred,
together with nearly all the Kroomen and
carriers.
few days after the news of the disaster
was received preparations for the formation
OF an expedition to punish the King of
Benin were begun and rapidly pushed to
completion. The forces were assembled at
New Benin and taken in boats to Sapele,
whence they marched across country to
Gwato, and then to Benin City.

Paxins the Nexroes.

A special inspector Of the. Interior De-
partment returned from the camp at Hay
den. Indian territory. where the govern
ment agents are distributing moneys to the
Cherokee negroes and Indians, says there
is no truth in the rumor that there is
trouble in the camp at Hayden. No hotel
has been set on fire. A tent burned acct
dentally one night last week. The charge
that Agent Dickson and his son are charg-
ing applicants s. to make. out their affida-
Wits is not borne out by the facts. There
has never been payment like this before,
and the matter of Identification Of the
freedmen Is tedious.

AGAINST THE sPITrERs.
Prose and Verse Aimed ARains,
Tobacco Chewers.

Tobacco Chewers.
A crusade has been commenced against
splitting in street cars. on the sidewalks
and the floors of public places. The Star
has received a number of communications
from readers. One Of them writes:
How glad ] am that some effort is to be
made to stop expectorating in public con-
veyances. But that Is not going far
enough. 1t should be prohibited on the
sidewalks. We have sometimes been call
ed. and not without reason. "a nation of
spitters-" The habit is a most disgusting
one. and the wonder is that 1t should be
necessary to call attention to 1t in q COM
munity go intelligent as that Of Washing
ton On almost any pleasant day before
large stores, offices. theaters and churches
the pavements are so spattered with the
vile deposits OF tobacco and sputum that
one has to exercise considerable care not
to step in this disease-breedng flIth and
thereby risk a fall or the spelling of ones
clothing.
Why said lady the other day in
speaking OF this nuisance, the worst fall
some one had spit
Another said that the condition in front
OF the Union building, where she had to
pass every day. was positively nauseating
do not suppose that building is any worse
than many others. In one church In this
city 1t was at one time seriously proposed
that certain part of the floor be left un-
carpeted for sDitters, since otherwise any
carpet they might put down would soon be
ruined. The disease germs that are carried
into thousands Of homes from this habit
no doubt cause many deaths. Why cannot
those who must spit when on the streets
go to the curb and use the cutters, where
at least few would be likely to step in it.
and why cannot the Commissioners do
something in the matter? 1t would be a
move In the right direction and one that
few. II any. would oppose. Let us hope
that the press of the city will keep up the
fight for health and decency until we are
freed from the intolerable nuisance"
Another sends The Star q batch of verses
Ito call attention to a subject that is in
serious need of reform" Much of it,
the writer says. referring, it is supposed.
to the splitting and not to the verse, ''is the
result Of thoughtlessness. II those addict
ed to the expectoration habit only knew
many of them would stop 1t OF their own
accord" Some of the verses follow:
Deirty Nell came in
From her walk today,
Tossing her head
In scornful way.
Men are such horrid.
To make them be angels
Twould take more than wings.
Mamma says, why!
What have the men done,
Or do you only fAN
Speak In fun?
No, I'm In dead earnest
That's just It;
Wherever yOu 70. it's
Spit! spit!! spit!!!
Spit on the pavement,
Spit In the car;
Spit, spit. Epit
Wherever you are.
saw dear old lady
Get a terrible fall;
Frozen spit was
The OF II all.
1850 f-..--- - s.-s-
Why, when you get
Split under yOnr heel
It's ten times
Than banana peel
You never see ladies
Spit on the street. =
Why can't the Een
Be just neat?
Ny dear, what else a
Gould the men do7
Remember they have
Tobacco to chew.

Too utterly utter.
