BL0ODIEST BATTLE OF
 REVOLUTION MARKS THE.
 RECAPTURE OF HANKOW
Rebels, Under Furious Fire of mpeTaIss Supported by Their Gunboats, Force Their Way lcross River and En-
 gage in Hand to Hand Conflict
Special from United Press.)


 Shanghai, Oct S1-The rebels recap tured Hankow, Sunday. after the bloodiest battle since the revolution broke out, according to authoritative Information received here, today. Wireless despatches from foreign war ships in the Yangtse river off the city refer to fighting there but it is not clear whether they mean Sundays engagement Or that fighting has been resumed. Since Friday, the rebel death roll is placed at 1000, the i'm perialist at 300. This does not include the Hankow citizens slaughtered by the imperialists after the rebels had retreated from there across, the river to Wu Chang.
 As previously suspected. the rebel defeat, resulting in the loss of Han- Row, was not serious. They were out numbered, however, and, finding their position difficult to hold, fell back upon Wu Chang, which had been their headquarters since. After being re- provisioned and re-ammunitiOned they returned to the battle.
 Despite the furious fire from the imperialists, and the support of their gunboats in the river, the rebels fore ed their way across thestream and engaged the enemy hand to hand.
 The battle ragged for some time along the river bank, which is describ- ed as filtered with corpses. The stream itself is thickly covered with them, floating with the current to- wards Shanghai. The struggle is said to have been almost incredibly furi- Ous, many of the combatants being not only killed but literally chopped to bits. The imperialists were finally driven from the city and are reported as flying northward in disorder.
 The greater part of. the city is said to be blackened heap of ruins
 Reports by wireless from the for eign warships off Hankow. make it plain that the rebels have driven the imperialists from the city proper The battle is still raging in the outskirts. No quarter is being shown on either side It is believed the dead will run into the thousands.
 The rebels, it appears. drove the imperial forces from their position on the Yangtse by a devastating fire fl s,-sf tlls <sprtas s-h-ch ff1es held The flotilla, compelled to drop down the river out of range of the two cities, left the way clear for the rebels to make their crossing without suffering the raking cross fire which drove them from Hankow on the day of it's capture by the imperial troops.

opinion that the repairing OF the pres

use the money required for repairs as
a starter for new structure and save
the taxpayers just that amount.
The board have likewise rendered

repairing the building will be only the
few thousand dollars required over and
above the amount OF the insurance.
Put this amount even at the limit, $5,-

are harmless in their nature. neither

never to be accompanied by . malicious
