FATE OF AN ARMY,
An Abyssinian Force of 5000 Men IL
Annihilated in SOmaliland.


AnnihiIated in SOmaliIand.
London, Oct. II. j. Bennett Stan.
ford, who has just returned from taking
part in an expedition to Somaliland,
brings news of the humiliation, at the
end of June, of an Abyssinian army of
1900 men under the control of the
famous Gen. Ras Mackonnen, of which
number only 60 men. ESCAPED. Mr.. STAN
ford said:
while in the interior we came across q
powerful Somali chief who had just re-
turned 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
overwhelmed them with large numbers.
allowing GO men to go back with the news
Of the defeat. Ras Mackonnen was killed
during the battle. The affairs occurred
about 100 miles from where we were. The
whole neighborhood is still greatly ex-
cited, and the possession of so many Italian
rifles by the Somalis is evidence that the
story told of the Abyssinian defeat is true.
The latest news from Harrar was that an
AbySSinian army was being dispatched
against the Somalis, who are eagerly an
ticipating another fight"
In regard to the reported massacre of
the Cavendish expedition, Mr.. Stanford
said:
There are no expeditions in Somaliland
to massacre. Peel, who was with me, is
Lake Rudolph; Maj Macdonald is on the
trade route toward Uganda, and Cavendish,
when last heard of him, was on the XII
kuyu road"

POLITICAL NOTES.

There is talk of forming o fusion party
In Wilmington at tho coming city election
and the men back Of the movement say 1t
would be sure to win. The silver Demo
Gratis are not satisfied to vote for n gold
Democrat, and they have very formidG-
Bile organization, numbering some six
hundred members. There is no doubt
that such ticket will be placed in the
field. There are great many dissatisfied
Democrats as well as Republicans, and If
they should decide to join forces 1t would
give either of the two parties hard tussel
to defeat them.
