 When deputies went to Shanna- hans cell, he backed into one cor ner and defied them. He said he was going to remain fin Ketchikan until he had received a trial All appeals and urgings failed to move him from his non-budgc position Finally Marshal Tanner took charge of the assault.

Shanna' han was stretched out on the lower bunk of the three in his cell. The stream of cold water almost drowned him out and he soon went to tho middle bunk and then to the top The water kept hitting in one i'm mense cold wave. Finally Shanna han was washed out of the upper bunk to the floor, but at that h' would not give up. When he wal all but drowned he waved his hant and surrendered. Deputies quickly handcuffed him and searching fol weapons found large knife. Tn
 prisoner was given new chang of clothing and then taken to thu | Northwestern.

ue ltdildH diIuy S ucCiSlOu u avoid the bloods,led sure to follow an assault upon the Qualifications and content itself with strict blockade is believed hcre to be due to the character of D'Annunzio' g force and the fact that virtually all the Italians. They are described as young and self-conhdent, strong and fit, enthusiastic and patriotic, devoted to their leaders, proud of Plume, of Italy, of D'Annunzio, for their cause. The majority are seasoned war-veterans, having fought throughout the whole of the world war and among their leaders arc some of the most brilliant gen. cials and officers of the Italian Army.
 Devotion Demonstrated.
 A striking demonstration of the devotion of AnnunZios troops to tteir leader was given in Plume on the occasion of the celebration of the second anniversary of the vic- tory of Italian arms in the war The poet commander occupied a Dox in the Fenice Theatre where the cele- nraticn was held. Hts arrival was heraldcd by a bugle call and his appearance was a signal for a tilunderstti of applause and cries of Viva il Comcndante.
 When two others had addressed tho Fiumjcns who crowded the t'eatre, another blaze of bugles made everyone turn to the box where D'Annunzio stood In the uni form of an Italian cavalry officer Everyone rose to his feet and the theatre rcsounded with the D'An- I unzian cry of "Eja, Eja, Alala. from thousands of throats while flowers ralned upon D'Annunzio from all sides.
 March to Rome Pledged.
 Though his proclamations usually gre written in poetical and some what bombastic style, his speech consisted of the simplest words. He declared that Plume alone really celebrated the Italian victory while Rome celebrated tho assassination Of victory" He asked his men to keep ready as, sooncr than was gen. arally expected he would take them with him to Rome. At these words the enthusiasm was renewed, the per pie waved handkerchiefs, hats, sticks and weapons in the air amid cries of ITO Rome, to Rome. Eja, Fla. Al3la, Home. Rome" while the bombardmcnt of flowers was re- doubled
 D'Annunzio's exit from the the otre was the occasion for fresh demonstrations of loyalty. His motor car was surrounded by the crowd and obliged to proceed at foot pace while his nen fought among Themselves to approach and touch I i'm. He was escorted all the way back to his residence by an admir- ing multitude under continuous fire of flowers and amid cheers for him, for Italy. Plume and Dalmatia.
 D'Annunzio seems to radiate 'ragnet:sm. He has worked his men u,r to such pitch of patriotic fer TOT and devotion to himself that he seems to have them almost hypno- tiZed.
