Liverpool, Aug. "a, 1850 a. m.---Tele-
graphing from Rozendaal, Holland. the
correspondent of the Central News

There is no doubt that a new battle
is in progress in the neighborhood of
Charleroi, Belgium. The Germans are
rushing troops in that direction. Only
5000 troops are left in Brussels, which
is more completely isolated than Liege

THEY FEAR KAIsER's DEMANDS
Brussels and Liege Have Nc Means Of
Raising 100000 War Levy.

London.-The German demand for
indemnity from Brussels and Liege,
s40,000,000 from the first city and
$10,000,000 from the second, is regard
ed here as one of the hardest calami-
ties suffered by the Belgians as a re-
suit OF the invasion.
The question is how the two cities
are going to meet this bill The cash
from the banks in both cities was al
most all removed to Antwerp when
German occupation was threatened
the levy in either town, and it is fear
ed that the Germans will either de-
molish valuable historic and public
buildings or seize art treasures if the
citizens OF the threatened cities are
not able to scrape together the $780,
100000 required. This is considered
impossible.
Brussels has priceless collections in
art treasures. Its public galleries are
rich in examples of the Flemish and
Dutch schools of painting and the Roy
al library contains 100000 volumes,
100000 manuscripts and $4,000 coins
The Royal museum in Brussels is one
of the finest In Europe and there are
many costly statues in the capital.
Germany's Reply.
The German commander, General
Sixtus Won Arnim, has caused the fol-
lowing proclamation to be placarded In
Brussels
German troops will pass through
Brussels today and on following days,
and are obliged by circumstances to
demand from the city lodging, food and
supplies. All these matters will be
Regularly arranged through the mu-
nicipal authorities.
Il expect the population to conform
Itself without resistance to these ne
cessities of war, and particularly to
commit no act of aggression against
the troops, and promptly to furnish
them supplies. In this case / give
every guarantee for the preservation
of the city and the safety of the In
habitants. If, however, there should be,
as unfortunately there has been else
where, any act of aggression against
the soldiers, burning af buildings or
explosions of any kind. shall be com.
PEELED to take the severest measures.

THE pAPAL ELECTION.

It has been said that the Roman prov
erb has il that the man who enters the
Roman Catholic eonclave expecting TO
become pope leaves as a cardinal The
proverb may have held true in the pres
ent instance, when n man scarcely men
toned as possible candidate for the
position Of supreme pontiff received the
election of his fellows and those who
had been considered the most prominent
for the position remained as they en-
tered the conclave-cardinals. Without
doubt some of those who had been mem
bers of the sacred college for years and
who had been leaders in the affairs OF
the church bore with them certain de-
gree of assurance, each for himself, that
thew would be elevated to the place va
ated by the death Of the late Pope Plus
x: and likewise it is reasonable to as
sumo that Cardinal Della Chiesa, having
but recently been raised to the position
of cardinal and being one of the younger
members of the sacred college, did not
have much thought that he would be
the choice for pontif. Therein the Ro-
man proverb seems to have been real
lied once more.
But regardless of that, the election Of
Cardinal Della Chiesa to the position
as pope assures to the Catholic ehurcs,
il is felt certain by those closely in touch
with its affairs, that strict adherence
to the doctrines along the line of those
followed by the late Pope Plus X. is TO
be maintained, for Pope Benedicte Nv,
the new pontiff, has been known as
foe of modernism in religion and firm
believer in the more settled ideas. Such
position was held by the late pore to
marked extent, and the continuation
of the same policy may be expected UNI
der the regime of the new head of the
church.
