Troops Sent to Coweta

MuSkogee. Okla, October 22.--Com- pany r, Oklahoma National Guards. has been ordered to assemble at once and proceed to Coweta. Captain William A. cial train Is made up to convey the troops to the scene of disorder. While what militia that can be raised tonight is being rushed to the assistance of the white population of Coweta, a town 20 miles from here, which is being threat ened with annihilation by the negroes which make up about a third of the in- habitants. large numbers of armed ne- groes from surrounding points are also hastening to the town to assist in the battle on the whites.
 A white man and negro have already been killed and two more whites are fatally wounded. and number of others of both races have been shot In several of the encounters during the day.
 The negro population is infuriated by the killing of Suddeth. They sent out runners to all nearby towns, several of which are exclusively negro settlements to call them to their aid fin revengins the dead man on the whites and making good their threat to wipe the town off the map before morning.
 Although the outbreak has been looked for by the whites for some time they are insufficiently armed and short of ammunition for such conflict as is anticipated. Grave fears are held unless troops can be hurried to the town by daybreak. In case the negroes should keep their promise of setting the town on fire, the result will be grave as the town has little fire protection.
 A long distance telephone message to- night from the sheriff's office of Wag. oner county at Wagoner says that a large body of negroes heavily armed are marching from Redbird, Oklahoma, upon the town of Coweta. They are swearing vengeance and further trouble is be. lieved certain.
 There are rumors of other deaths at Coweta, but these cannot be confirmed. Citizens of Muskogee are being armed by the sheriff and are hurrying to Coweta which is twenty miles northwest of here Sheriff Long of Wagoner county has despatched all his men to the seat of the trouble and has been assured of help from the sheriff of this (Muskogee) county.
 Redbird is an exclusive negro town six miles from Coweta.

] OFFICERS DISLIKE BLOCKS
Say Belgian Pavement Great Aid to
 Burglars

The much mooted Belgian block pav- ing is source of great annoyance to the police department. especially to those officers who patrol down town beats on the morning shift.
 In this connection Officer T. W. Ray, . down town patrolman of the morning rhift, said last night: ----.
 "A man. can take a. common dray and rob every store in the section paved with Belgian blocks, and patrolman at the other end of his beat will never know it.. A wagon driving over those rough uneven stones makes so much racket, that a dow and if I was on the other end of my beat, or even 20 feet away with my back turned, I could not hear it.
 If these blocks are removed, we pa- trolmen down town can prevent a great deol more burglaries than we are now doing, simply because we do not know when thing happens on account of the noise. Of course, there is not so much noise during the early morning hours as other times of the day, but one of these cabs driving over Belgian block paving makes so much racket as it passes that you have to shout to make yourself heard when talking to one in front of you" t-5tf
 MT. Ray recently won the distinction of personal compliment and congratu- lation from Chief Bodeker upon his abil- fly as a policeman and his diligence in patrolling his beat. The occasion was the capture of the young skylight burg lars, who for many months terrorized the merchants of Birmingham Patrol emen Ray, in patroling his beat, discov- , cred them in a store and held them there until help arrived. +s ( He is recognized as one of the best pa } trolrnen on the force.

ITALIANS SUSTAIN VERY HEAVY LOSSES Turkish Troops Show Reck-
 less Bravery In Night Attacks

Trpoli. October 22.-The fighting aJ Bepghazi between the Italians and the Turks has been of the fiercest character. After an engagement, which lasted all day October 19, the Turks returned to the ct arge during the night. They made a savage onslaught upon the Italian camp, but were repulsed. In the morning the Italian forces occupied the city. The Turkish losses were very heavy and the Italian dead number not less than 1o0.
 There are good grounds for believing that the Italian forces at Banghazi have been severely handled by the Turks and their Arab auxiliaries. 1t is understood .hat the Italian losses are much heavier than officially reported.
 Color is given to this belief that the hurried departure for Benghazi of four warships and the hospital ship Reina Margheritta.
 Steamer passengers who went to Ben ghazi but were unable to land. say the Turks and. Arabs have displayed reck- less bravery in making night attacks on the small Italian force entrenched there.
 There are also reports of massacres of Christians at Derna and Benghazi, but no confirmation of these has been re- ceived.

 At the latter place 15,0OO coolies have made demand for their wages in silver, which cannot be obtained.
 Eye witnesses of the recent engagement between the revolutionaries and the im- Derialists at Hankow have arrived here They say shells fired by the imperialists fell in the German concession. Appar- ently they were pompom shells. but an examination proved that they were com posed of wood.
 The same conditions existed in the Chino-Japanese war, the officials having found 8 contractor willing to supply wooden shells at the same price as steel the actual difference in the way of money beirg divided
 The North China News says that tho first engagements at Hankow were evidently trumpery affairs, both sides being timid. From the China Inland Mission comes an account of the first en- gagement on Wednesday. The rebels moved down near the race course and there was some skirmishing. About noon 25 rebel wounded were brought to the rebel coolies destroyed Culvert bridges London mission hospital. A mob of rebel coolies destroyed Culvert bridges and officers of the imperial troops came down on an egine and inspected the damage As the imperialists retired toward Kilo- metre Ten station. they did not reply to the rebel fire. The rebels advanced cheer ing, but their shots for the most part fell short.
 Great numbers of rebels proceeded back Of the concessions to the riverside rail- way embankment.
 At o'clock in the afternoon the Chi nese cruisers opened fire upon the N bels. who were attacking the Cbipese t~va. The rebels retired after tue third shst.

 At 41 erstsck Thursday morning, a large body of rebels advanced past the race course, the Chinese cruisers having taken up a position further down the river. There was little firing at this time. but the Wu Chang forts opened on the var ships which began to maneuver to Hrele1t the forts from taking sure aim, rkNi- rebels.

 At 5:30 o'clock in the evening the rebels returned to Hankow, having in their pos session many captured tents and much ammunition and rice. There was only one casualty among the foreigners. A Ger man marine of a landing party was shot through the hand.
 There is no telegraphic communication from Shanghai in the direction of Hankow beyond Kfugiang except the wireless of the ships which is not available for pub lie use. The widest rumors are being printed in the native newspapers, but in the absence of efficient telegraphic ser vice it is. not possible to verify thiese It is probably true that fighting occurred two days ago at Nan Chang. 50 miles to the north of Kiukiang.
 Two AZ pound guns have been mounted at the Kiang-Nan arsenal, which are the only measures so far taken to protect it.
