is as follows:

GREAT PANIC AT Annoy
TAOTAI CHANG FLED TO HONG
KONG DURING NIGHT.
Fear of Poisoned Wells Allayed by
Arrival ,of Amc and British

arrival 'Of AmC anu bTlllsii
Warships as City Passes to Rebels.
The Republican tri-color waves
over Annoy, China, now. There is no
disorder, the shops remain open and
there is u general feeling Of relief.
Early Tuesday morning crowds be-
gan to assemble for conference
with the revolutionary leaders.
! At 2:3O o'clock the gunboat Quen-
kai, flying the dragon flag cast off
her lines and steamed out Of the har-
Dor. Then about 1. 600 revolution
lists formed in line and marched to
the walled city where they raised the
Republican emblem over the Taotai's
palace at 2:05 o'clock.
simultaneously 4 few tri-colors
were displayed in other quarters OF
the city. Many Japanese and white
flags also appeared.
Excitement that preceded the
change OF government was quickly
allayed. Fear Of excesses had kept
the populace in a nervous state. For
several days there had been no local
government and the maintenance OF
public order devolved upon yolunteed
guards recruited from the best fam
lilies.
On Sunday representatives of the
conservative element who favored the
temporary independence of the city
made a futile attempt to compro-
mise with the radical faction which
demanded the surrender of the city
to the revolutionists. Monday night
it was plain the radicals were in con.
troll and, alarmed at the possibility
of mob rule Taotai Chang fled tc
Hong Gong.
Throughout the night feeling OF
uneasiness prevailed and this was in
creased Tuesday morning that the
wells of the city had been poisoned
by Manchus from Foochow. Later
in the day quiet prevailed. The ar
rival of the American cruiser Sara
toga, the monitor Monterey and the
gunboat Quires and the British tor
pedo boat destroyers Janus ant
Virago this morning helptd to restore
confidence.
Thirteen vessels of the Imperia
feet went over to the revolutionists
at Shanghai Tuesday morning, hoist
ing the white flag between 0 and II
o'clock. One of the largest cruisers
steamed up the river past the settle
ment and dropped the white ensign
in salute to the foreign warships, tt
which none of them responded. ''.

ESCAPES WITH WRONG TWIN.
Planned to Wed Mary, But Took Sis
ter Betty by Mistake.

Capt. Harry R., Edwards OF the
schooner May H. eloped from Kent
island Monday night with Miss Betty
Harrison, daughter of G. F. Harrison,
4 farmer who lives near Annapolis,
Ind.
Edwards spent his vacation last
summer at a house near that of the
Harrisons, who had twin daughters.
People living on the Island have often
mistaken one of them for the other
and that was what Edwards did when
he eloped Monday night. He landed
from the schooner intending to elope
with Mary Harrison. He met Betty
tirst, and thinking she was Mary hur-
ried her off to a. parson and then
aboard the schooner.
The schooner is somewhere in Che
sapeake Bay, with Edwards and his
wife aboard, headed for Baltimore,
while Mary is mourning the fate that
leaves her a single woman. 1t was re-
ported last summer that Betty was
jealous of the attention paid her sis
ter by Edwards, and it IS believed
she learned Edwards was going to
marry Mary, and decided the best
