CARL HAGeNGEcK IS DEAD
Famous Animal Trainer Passes Away
in Germany.

Berlin, Dec. 19.-Carl Hagenbeck.
the greatest collector and trainer of
wild animals the world has ever
known, died at his home in the midst
of his vast geological garden at Stel-
lingen, a suburb of the free city of
Hamburg.
His picturesque career did not end,
however, until he had seen the sue
cessful completion of the greatest un-
dertaking of his life. This was the
construction at Rome, at cost OF
$3.50, 900, of the most complete zoologi-
cal park in the world, wherein he had
installed for the municipality 1,40O
specimens. Like his own at Stellin-
gen the Roman inclosure is without
bars, walls or fences, but the land
water and rock formations reproduce
the natural haunts of the animals. Els.
cape is impossible.

MEXICAN REBELS
CLAIM VICTORY
Government Forces Said TO Have
Lost Eight Hundred Men

Galveston, Tex, Dec ia de-
cisive rebel victory in a battle with
federal troops at La Junta, village
in the territory of the Northwestern
and Orient railroad, near Minaca, is
the most severe blow yet suffered by
the Mexican government.
Official dispatches received here
over the Mexican cable say that at
least 500 soldiers under the command
OF Generals Navarro and Hernandez
were killed.
The rebel loss also was appalling,
but in the defeat of the federals the
insurrectos had removed their dead
before hospital corps could record
the fatalities. More than 100 others
were wounded in the government
ranks.
The situation in Chihuahua state
has reached it's most serious stage
since the revolutionary outbreak a
month ago.
The rebels are reported as holding
a position practically controlling the
city of Chihuahua and the western
part of the state.
In addition to reducing the federal
ranks now available in the north of
Mexico the rebels captured three ma
chine guns and the arms and ammuni-
tion of the dead troops. The surren-
der OF 100 federal soldiers, who were
liberated with the forfeiture Of their
arms, completed the rebel victory.
Not more than 200 federal soldiers
escaped before the crushing defeat, II

Wind, Which Is Very Disastrous to
Shipping, and Heavy Loss of Life Is
Feared-Cod Weather Prevails and
the Suffering of the Homeless Peo-
pie Is Intense.
London, Dec. 19.--Six days of hur-
ricanes along the English coasts cul-
minated in the wrecking of dozens of
small boats and the probable loss of
scores of lives.
The storm continues with little
abatement. Corpses are being washed
up by the breakers.
The damage to piers, sea walls and
houses along the south and west
coasts is tremendous. Shipping is at
a standstill
AT a number of places great walls
of water tumbled inland as far as four
miles, creating havoc.
The Selsey peninsula, converted
from an island century ago by recla-
nation work, has been again changed
to an island through the washing away
of the connecting strip of land The
inhabitants are isolated.
Rains for month have been un-
usually heavy and rivers all over Eng
land are out of their banks. The
Thames is nothing but chain of
lakes and hundreds of square miles
in Warwickshire, Shropshire, Radnor-
shire, Somerset and Essex counties
are submerged.
The southern part of Wales is al
most wholly under water.
Nearly all the coast towns have
suffered irreparable loss.
The inundated sections include a
great deal of farming land, where
crops have been ruined.
The hurricane is accompanied by
intense cold and the suffering of the
people will probably greatly increase
the fatalities.
The work of relieving the distress
is slow, because of the danger of at.
tempting any water traffic.
