BRITISH FIGHT AFGHANS.
Gen. WiIcocks Is Advancing with eau.
tion Lest Army Meet Disaster.

Simla, India-Sullen, but appar-
emily overawed by the powerful
British showing against them, the
ameer of Afghanistan's army of 10000
soldiers is retreating inch by inch
from Landi Kotal, before which they
encamped after their repulse Sunday
night in an attempt to seize the
blockhouse guarding the Afghan out
let to Khyber pass.
The Asiatics are not routed by any
means. 1t is not even certain that
they are not attempting to draw the
English into the country where their
cavalry and cannon will be at dis
advantage and attempt to cut them Off.
So apprehensive is Gen. Sir James
Wilcocks of such an attempt at an
ambush that he is doing no more than
to keep his vanguard in touch with
the natives, slowly pressing them
backwards, but venturing no advance
until he has made his position abso-
lrtely secure.
Shots are exchanged from time to
time between the advancing and re-
treating armies, but nothing in the ma
ture of an engagement, or even live
ly skirmish, can be said to be in prog
gress. AS yet there have been few
casualties.

Tokyo-The accidental explosion
of a projectile in her stock mag
azine sunk the Japanese training
cruiser Matsushima, with loss of more
than 200 lives, early Thursday. The
disaster occurred off the Pescadores
Islands.
Admiral Moshiamtsu, commanding
the training squadron, reported the ac-
cident to the admiralty, but gave few
details. He is not even yet certain of
the number of dead, but says only 80
of the crew were rescued at the time
his dispatch was sent The cruisers
Hashidate and Itsumshima, which ac-
companied the Matsushima, saved
them. Most of those rescued were
cadets. The captain and most of the
officers of the cruiser were lost.
How the explosion occurred is not
known. 1t was at 4:08 a. m, Admiral
Moshiamtsu says. The vessel went
down almost instantly. Only her
bridge is visible.
The Matsushima carried 900 cadets
and so officers and seamen.

the part of Motorman lisa Fay of the

four of which are so badly burned
that all hope of identification has
been abandoned, are in the rogue
in this city Monday as the re-
suit of the New Avellne hotel hor-
ror Sunday morning.
The: fire, which had its origin near
the elevator shaft on the first floor,
was, caused by defective wiring. 1t
was discovered by hotel employees at
$3.50 O'Clock and the alarm was quick
ly spread throughout the hotel.
Within five minutes, however, the
interior of the structure was seeth-
ing furnace and many of the guests
were caught in their rooms before
they had time to get into the hall
ways and make their way to the two
Gre escapes.
Fire Department Without Nets.
Without nets and with the only
aerial truck in the city fire department
temporarily out of commission through
defects, the firemen were handicapped,
and many of the guests were either
killed or injured in jumping from the
windows.
Within ten minutes after the fire
was discovered the flames had eaten
their way through the wooden interior
construction, and the five upper floors
had fallen in, carrying down the mass
of burning wreckage. the bodies o.
those who were unable to reach a
place of safety. .. r.
Fully twenty guests are in the hos

lous. Five guests crawled 200 feet on
a ledge not over eight inches wide,
finally reaching a place of safety.

The limited car, comfortably filled
with about 4S people, left Ypsilanti at
2:17 o'clock for Detroit. The running
time of the car was changed Tues.
day, and reduced so that Motorman
Fay left Ypsilanti 10 minutes earlier
than he had been accustomed to. This
is thought by some to have been re-
sponsible for his mistake. Instead of
stopping at Harris switch, about two
miles west of the scene of the acct
dent, where it is said by the officials
of the road the cars should have
passed, the limited rushed by the
crossing peril at high speed. AS it

China Sees Political Move.

Pekin-Certain Chinese officials
received information at late hour
Friday that the American feet of
battleships will not visit Chi Flu, as
has been expected here. This news Is
regarded here as meaning that the
American government reconsidered
its acceptance of the invitation ex-
tended by China, and to be result of
representations made by American Of
ficials in China, who feel that the feet
should not come to Chinese port.
They base their conviction on the
belief that such visit would give
China false impression as to the at
titude and intentions of the United
States regarding Manchuria. China
had planned a program for the Ameri-
can visitors, and was preparing to
give them an unprecedented welcome.
