of the Belgian government was trans
ferred to Harve today, with the excep-
ton Of King Albert, who remains at
the head Of the army, the minister Of
war, members of the cabinet, and 9TH
er government officials, and the diplo-
matte corps, left Ostend by steamer
for the French port, where they will
carry on the affairs of state, as hos
pitality was offered them by the
French government. The American
and Spanish ministers, both Of whom
still are at Brussels, are the only d.
plomatic representatives accredited to
Belgium remaining in that country.
The change to Havre followed quick
ly upon the German westward ad-
vance, which began Immediately after
the fall Of Antwerp. The success in
taking the chief port Of Belgium
opened the way for new plan of
campaign, which embraces the occu-
patton Of the whole Of, Belgium, in
.cluding the coast towns, and, if pos
sible, some of the northern French
ports.
In accordance with this plan, the
Germans have begun to sweep across
northern Belgium. Yesterday they
occupied Ghent, now they are said to
be we'll advanced toward Bruges, en-
route to Ostend. If they are success
full in occupying the latter place, great
enthusiasm in Germany will be arous-
ed as an indication of the. promised
attack against England by airship, and
otherwise, is about to be carried out.
Already bombs have been dropped
on Ostend from aeroplanes, while once
the Germans reach the coast, they will
be within easy striking distance of
British coast ports, even London.
Martial law has been proclaimed in
the Union of South Africa as result
of the discovery of rebellion in the
northern part of the Cape province,
which adjoins German Southwest At
RIGA. While it is known that Colonel
Marietz, leader of the rebels, who has
gone over to the German forces of the
German protectorate, has only small
following, the affair is considered un-
fortunate.
The territory effected by the rebel
lion is the southern end of the Kala.
hari desert, parallel with the German
frontier. There are about $4,000 white
farmers in the district. whose farms
are widely scattered.
Turkey has commenced to expel the
Greeks from Heraclea, Asia Minor and
it is reported that emissaries have left
sConstantinople to preach a holy war
against the French in Morocco. The
Turkish fleet, it is rumored, * in the
Black sea of Varna, not far from the
point where the Russian fleet was
cruising last week.
Lille, in northern France, is occu'
pied by the Germans.
A Cettinje, Nish dispatch says that
the Montenegrin troops have defeated
10000 Austrians, supported by six bat.
teries of artillery, at point northeast
of Sarajevo.
The battle terminated in a hand-to'
hand bayonet conflict, lasting four
hours. The Austrians lost $500 men
killed and wounded The Montenegrin
troops lost 300 wounded, including
Generals Medametza and Goilich.
At Petrograd it is officially an
nounced that the siege of Przemysl is
progressing, according to Reuters and
the Russian artillery is rapidly de-
stroying the forts, which continue an
energetic resistance. The Przemysl
garrison, it is announced, does not ex
ceed 10000 men. ..
