THlBETAMs PAID DEARLY
Their General and Escort Killed In
Attack On the British.
The General Fired h First shot,
and Then the Slaughter of the
Thibetans Began.

Tuna, Thibet. April 3.AThe Thibetan
general, the whole of his personal es-
cort and five Lhassa officials were
among the hundreds killed in the fight
ing of March 81 at Guru, Thibet.
The small British losses are &C
counted for by the fact that the Thi-
betans were so huddled together that
the majority were unable either to use
their swords or to fire. The swords
men in the front rank could not reach
the sikhs, who had fixed bayonets,
while the men in the middle of the
mob could not reach the enemy, but
many of them probably killed each
other in the mad excitement. The
scene recalled oldtime fights in cock
pits, the grim, determined faces of the
Thibetans, lighted with devildom saw
agery, expressing contempt for the
slkhs, whom they outnumbereu six
or seven to one.
General Fired First Shot.
When the Lhassa general fred the
first shot, the Thibetans with wild
shouts drew their swords, fired their
matchlocks and surged forward. About
a dozen swordsmen made a. desperate
rush in the direction of Col. Macdonald
and a small knot of officers. Four Thi-
betans attacked Mr.. Gambler, the cor
respondent of the London Daily L-ail,
but Col. Macdonald seized a rifle and
shot down two of them at a few yards
and another officer killed the other two,
thus saving Mr.. Gamblers life. Those
of the Thibetans who tried to climb
the wall were met with a terrible mag
azine rifle fire, but they did not falter,
those behind springing over the heaps
of dead and continuing the fight until
riddled with bullets.
Retired DoggedIn
When finally the Thibetans retired
they tramped back slowly and steadily,
though followed by a hail of bullets.
A mountain battery was brought into
action, and tore the retreating lines
with shrapnel. A terrible trail of dead
and dying marked the line of march.
At length, the last wounded, limping
Thibetan turned the corner, some 400
yards from the scene of the grim
tragedy, where the best of the Thibetan
army had persisted. (

MISSOURI STATE NEWS


A petition was presented to the ex-
bcutive board of Missouri university
by the students belonging to the uni
versity boarding club, asking that the
board allow them the privilege Of en-
gaging the rooms they now occupy in
the two d~ormitories, Lathrop and Ben
ton halls. This privilege has always
been allowed to the students in the
past, and they were especially DESTROYS
of a continuance of it. This action was
taken on account of the reservation of
five of the best roons in Lathrop hall
by George Cobra Salem, an Egyptian
student, for a party of his fellow
countrymen, who are coming to attend
school at Missouri university next fall.
The students have no objection to the
Egyptians as fellow-students, but they
did object to having the room that
they had spent money in furnishing
engaged away from them.

as g. close incident.
If Clewell will return without a
requisition, he can be brought here
within a day or two; If he demands
