 By Fire

 HUDDLED ON SNOW
Red Cross Vessel Fired on By Rebels. Imperalists Refuse to Grant Armistice-Sistuatio
 Is Very Grave

Hankow, November 4-(By Way or WI Hu1-Members of the wesleyan mission, the patients in the women's hospital, and the blind boys, who are under the care of the mission, escaped death by nar-' row margin in the fire which destroyed large part of the native city of Hankow.
 The inmates of tho mission, number ing 300, spent the night on the lawn terri fled by the whizzing shells and the rat tie of rifles The fire swept down upon the mission and the flames from the burn ing building came so close that some or the fugitives, who huddled together cn the grass, were scorched and almost gave up hope of rescue They are all LOW housed in the London mission.
 Almost tho whole of the native city of Hankow Is afire this morning and 1t Is feared the Wesleyan mission, near the Han river, in which arc 50 blind boys and 150 wounded persons, who, with the staff Of the mission, make up d total of Soc persons, was destroyed. Dr. Booth, the head of the mission, asked the imperial- ists to grant an armistice or two hours to permit of removal from the mission. but the firing ceased only for half an hour.
 A Red Cross steamer, which attempted to rescue the inmates of the mission, was driven back by the fire from the rebel fort. one shell riddled the steamers deckhouse.
 When the vessel was compelled to turn back the mission was still standing, but it's position was hopeless, the flames be- ing within 200 yards of the building.

Imperialists Start Fire

The fire In the town was started by the imperlaliats who threw inflammable shells into the place. A strong wind carried the flames across the river to Han Yang and a strip of that city on the-w water front a mile long was destroyed and the fire is still burning there,
 A few hundred rebels against whom the imperialists are preparing to ad vance occupy the pnburued parts of Hankow. l
 When the steamer left, an artillery duel was taking place between the batteries of the ifnperialists, which were planted back, of tho British con cession, and tho Wu Chang and Han Yang forts. Several rebel shells landed in the foreign concessions, piercing the walls of houses.
 The imperislists occupy the district westward of the railway station almost to the Han river. The Chamber of Commerce asked the foreign consuls to protest against the burning of the city, but the consuis declined to do so.

ITALIANS RIVAL ANAN|AS IN HIS
 PALM|EST DAYS Conditions in TripOli Have Been Grossly Exag-
 gerated MANY ARABS HAVE
 BEEN EXECUTED Tripoli Correspondent of Telegraph Company Arrives at Malta and t Gives the World Some
 Startling News

London, November 4.-Ananias in his palmest days never wrought half as many falsehoods and misrepresentations as have appeared in the Italian press and the official statements issued by the Italian government, telegraphs the cor respondent of Reuters Telegram company, Ltd, at Tripoi, who arrived at Malta today. From Malta he was able to send a mes- sage which combines a description of the condition of the Italian army around what he terms the beseiged city of Tripoli He says:
 ITO sum up the results of the cam paign:
 'The Italians hold, with nearly twice as many men, half the ground that they held three weeks ago. They have lost in killed and wounded, not counting the sick, well over 1000, men,. Many Arabs have been killed and vast numbers were shot In cold blood.
 Cholera Rages
 "Now 25, GOO soldiers find themselves with their backs to the sea, cramped and con- fined, with an active, enemy within few yards of them and with cholera raging among them; for, despite official efforts to conceal the truth, there have been many cases among the troops and the population Is suffering so much that whole streets of Tripoli have been closed by armed gen. tries. There has been no disgrace. On the contrary, the Italian troops fought with great courage and their officers set a noble example,
 The correspondent says of the engage ment of October 2S:
 Far from being decisive victory, ft nearly ended in disaster and would have if the enemy had had a few thousand men at one point instead ofsa few hum dred. The Italian line was broken in two places by less than POO Arabs, who had reached the cover of the residential oasis, thus placing themselves between the town and the line of defense. The situation was saved only by a gallant charge of 100 disnounted cavalry, who iost heavily, but managed to xiii off d majority of the storming party.
 Thirty Arabs held out for three days in house in the oasis and could not be dislodged until the building was blown up. If they had been several thousand strong instead of 200 the Arabs would have had Tripoli completely at their inorcy"
 The Turks and Arabs. the correspondent says, hold the oasis, which is 15 miles long alld rom TWO 10 nNe miles ueep, where they can subsist on dates and olives rn- til April, in the meantime harassing the Italians by nightly raids.
 The correspondent describes the spirit of theainvading army as demor- alized. The men expected a short and sharp campaign. Instead they are ly- Ing in the trenches with sand storms blowing over or rains soaking them with continual night alarms. Whey are disgusted with the war and hate th; country. They long to return home.

 SV -e morning the rebel cause has beell strengthened by the arming of all those who applied for rifles and am munition. The rebels obtained not only the arsenal. but the powder factory. gunboats and an enormous number of new first class Mauser rifles. Not less than 0,000 rifles were given indiscrim- inately to applicants this evening.
 The forts at Wu Sung went over to the rebels without resistance and the other up river forts hoisted the white flag as though through previous un- derstanding with she rebel commander. The Tevolutionists can hardly be said to have seized Shanghai Wu Chung and other up river forts. It was simply & change of control in which practically everyone acquiesced. About 10 people were killed and 20 injured, but most of the casualties were accidental, due to the explosion of dynamite used to open the gates Of the cities which had been perfunctorily closed. .4 The arsenal at Shanghai has a ca-l pacity for a great output and 1t Is now completely manned and is being operated.

 Announcement of the action of Gov 1. .ernor O'Neal with respect to the three officials was made in personal letter which he today sent to them, in each of which he set forth in detail the reasons for his action. In another let ], ter which the governor sent out, ad- dressed to James c. Oakley, president of the board of convict inspectors, he .entirely exonerates that official from 2 any criticism that may have been im- piled in the recent connection of his (Oakley's) name with the Alamo Gas stock transactions. The governor stated that the findings with respect to MT. oakley were uncontrovertible. showing neither connection nor knowledge of the stock transactions.
 Insofar as Leon McCord, associate o railroad commissioner of Alabama, was concerned. the governor made no state- \ ment, though his special committee re- ported that their investigations had . shown no ''conduct or net on which l impeachme charges could be based" ,h MT.
