British Subjects Held
 PrinsOners at Spandu

Oldenzaal, Netherlands, Via. Lon- don, Aug. 2, 11:10 a. m.-The cor respondent in Berlin of Reuters Tel egram company of London who with other British subjects was expelled from the German capital arrived here with several other newspaper corre- spondents on the train which con- veyed the British ambassador, Sir William Edward Goschen.
 The correspondent says the British declaration of war on Germany was followed by an attack on the British embassy. A crowd besieged the building for hours, smashing all the windows.
 The same night two American and two English correspondents were ar rested on suspicion of being spies. but were released a few hours lata. through the efforts of the American ambassador.
 All British subjects in Germany, according to the correspondent, are being rounded up by the police, and about forty of them have been kept as prisoners in the fortress of Spandu, but the American embassy in Berlin hopes to be able to secure their re- lease.
 Among those held is Captain Horace H. Holland of the British navy, who had been lent to the Turkish govern ment as naval instructor.

Will Hold Proud Place
 in History of Conflict

London, Aug. r., 3:1O A. M.-The Daily Mails Paris correspondent names three Belgian fortresses, Liege, Namur and Huy, (Herve), as seeming likely to hold a proud place in the history of the present war, for they held back the head of the ad- vancing German hosts and have given the French army time in which to make up for the thirty hours disad- vantage in mobilization which they suffered through Germany's early preparations.
 It was never expected that Liege would offer any serious resistance, says the correspondent, yet already it has stemmeds the German onset for two precious days, and only today have two of it's ring of forts fallen be- fore the concentrated attack of the German army.
 This partial success against fortifi- cations thirty years old was gained by the Germans light siege artillery. The Belgians falling back on Liege, still resist stoutly, and a fierce resistance may yet be made in the very streets of the modern city. Even when Liege falls, Namur and Huy will carry on the resistance Meanwhile the Bel gian success has nightly encouraged the French who are now more than even certain of victory.

Berlin, via. London, Aug. ', 11:2s a. m.-The official account of the att tack on the British embassy by the Berlin populace, for which the Ger man Emperor had already apologized to the British ambassador, is as fol- lows:
 The Berlin public first confined it's demonstrations to the singing or patriotic songs and to shouting at various persons who were making outrageous gestures from the win dows of the embassy. Some sand was thrown on the crowd, which there upon tore up the mosaic pavements of the sidewalk and bombarded the windows. The police imme ediately cleared the streets.

London. Aug. 6, 10:SO p. m.-All reports of the fighting at Liege agree that the German infantry advanced in masses, holding to absolutely close order. This resulted in heavy casual ties.
 The correspondent of the Daily News at Brussels sends the following despatch:
 All the forts surrounding Liege gre intact. A Belgian airman thus de- scribes the German attack on Liege: After a terrible cannonade the German infantry approached enmasse and reached the Glacis of the forts, where the heavy defensive guns were unable to reach them. General Le- man sent artillery to a point where the invading infantry could be snelled, and the Germans were swept from their position. This occurred several times during the day and night
 "A patrol of Chians performed a remarkable exploit by riding into the town. Belgian officers recognized them as Germans and desperate fight followed. Several on each side were killed.
 "Red Cross autom obiles arriving at Brussels report that the ground be- fore the forts is covered with dead and wounded Germans"

Famous Sea Fighter Was fither
 Of Dr. R. N. Clark.
FOUGHT UNDER ADMIRAL FiRRAcUT
Served Brilliantly During Civil War
 Cast Into Libbey Prison-In At Sixty-Four-IAfe History.

By the sudden death at his sum- mer home at Vineyardhaven, Mass, of Captain Robert M. Clark, U. s. N. retired, father of pr. Robert M. Clark. of this city, the venerable veterans of the great civil strife which shook the foundations of this nation during the dark days of 1861 to 1863 have lost one of their most brilliant and able fighters. Captain C1ark's career was one of the most noteworthy of any of Uncle Sam's sea fighters and he was known from Maine to California, as we'll as in many foreign ports, both in Europe and in the Orient. His naval career reads like a page from thrilling war novel. Entering into the service of the United States Volunteer Naval service at the outbreak of the civil war he rapidly gained prominence by his clever work; was awarded several promotions; was with Admiral Farra- gut in his memorable sea battles in the south; took part in the famous battle of Port Hudson, on the Miss issippi River; was subsequently, cap tured by the Confederates and cast into terrible Lbbey Prison; was a victim of a narrowing shipwreck. and survived them all to die at the ripe old age of seventy-five years. He will be buried at the town of his birth place, Middletown, Conn.
 Death Comes Suddenly.
 Captain Clark's death will come as a great shock to his many friends all over the country. While he had never fully recovered from . severe sickness he suffered three years ago his con- dition was not regarded as grave and he has been in his usual health for a couple of years. During the present summer he has been entertaining his little grandchild, the daughter of pr. and Mrs. Clark, of Walnut street, at his summer home at Vineyardhaven, Mass. A few days ago Dr. Clark de- cided to pay his father visit and at the same time bring his daughter home. The first intimation of any illness came yesterday when Mrs. Clark received a telegram from her husband stating that his father had died suddenly. It is thought that heart trouble was the cause of death.
 Born Seventy-Five Years Ago.
 ii was on July 3, 1886 that Captain Clark was born in Middletown, Conn.
