 Instructions had been given to some of the natives, to fumigate the schoolhouse section of the building.
 The natives proceeded to carry out their instructions at z a. m. last Sunday morning. Preparations had been made for the occasion. MT Fosso before retiring to bed on Saturday night, had securely plug ged up all vents around the safety flue to prevent the fumes from entering the rooms above.

LONDON, Apr 23.-A Hull now exists on practically all the British fronts today with the possible ex- ception of a few minor raids. In some of these raids however, the British were successful in improving their positions to a great extent.

The British raiding parties succeeded in captur- ing a total of sixty prisoners besides taking a number of machine guns and small arms. This raid was made without the loss of a single casualty by the British forces.

LONDON, April 23-The Admiralty announces that an attempt has been made by the English Navy to block the entrances to the harbors of Ostend and Zeebrugge, on the West Flanders coast in Belgium. Ostend and Zeebrugge are about fifteen miles apart and have long been used by the Germans as a submarine base. The subs wroking from these ports have long been a source of danger to channel shipping and the English Navy have made many attempts to either capture or destroy them.
 The Admiralty finally hit upon the plan used, by the American fleet when lying off the Cuban coast at Santiago de Cuba which plan was to run the
