pieces. This destruction of the mosque
is expected to have great moral eff
feet The AIoorS concealed in the
palm groves, replied with artillery to
the French bombardment, but without
effect At IL o'clock the French guns
were withdrawn to Djennan-ed-Dar,
where General O'Connor was awaiting
offers of submission. All the women
and children left the town before the

Artillery Makes Good Practice

General O'COnnOr's plan was to adj
vance on Figuig in three columns and
post his artillery en- commanding hills
surrounding the rebels stronghold. AT
9:30 a. m. the French troops occupied
Juive riIl and another eminence, both
strategic positions, by a surprise move
ment. The ramparts of the town Were
then 200 metres distant, and like the
houses which were half mile behind
them, built of compressed earth from
these hills. The artillery made excel
lent practice, the Melinite shells max

destroying scores of houses the inhab-

JAPANESE WOMAN
STEPS TO DEATH

A Japanese woman, aged about 80
years, the wife of a man named Hi
rada, stepped from car of the King
street line while it was in motion on
Sunday afternoon and, falling on her
head, was so badly hurt that she died
in about two hours, never regaining
consciousness. The car was just max
ing the turn from McCully into King
street when the woman stepped off,
and she did it so quickly that Con-
ductor Murray, who was in charge Of
the car, did not have time to give the
motorman the bell nor to attempt to
save the woman. 1t seems almost i'm
possible. in fact, for the Asiatics to
learn the ways of electric cars, and
it frequently happens that they have
to be restrained by force by the car
men to prevent them meeting with dis
aster through trying to get on or off
while the cars are in motion.
This woman fell directly on her head,
and 1t was seen at once that she was
badly hurt. The patrol wagon was sent
for of course, but before 1t reached the
scene of the accident she had been
taken away by her husband and DR..
Mcdonald called to attend her. She
was beyond human aid, however. The
woman was employed as a nurse girl
in the family of Prof. French. of Pu-
nahou College.
