are defending their loot against professionals who have come in from the hills in small groups of 20 or go, armed with spears, the wo- men dressed as men and brandlsh- ing sabres. Those of the looters who 20 out into the hills with their spoil are met by the fierce gals of tho region. It ts apparent that the ban- dts are fearful of Italian retaliation when the city is occupied. Tn Q week end of wild disorder, marked by at- tacks of all sorts, the flrcest fighting was concentrated at the government gold reserve building. There mobs Stormed the defenders, facing point blank machine gun fire, chopped on the hands of those at the guns after reaching the building over tho corpses of their comrades, and cap- tured the entire gold store.

Lambie, chief of tho Ethiopian Red Cross-- an American naturaiized as an Ethiopian-and tho personnel ot the mission barricaded themselves in @ building, behind barbed wire, and beat off bandit attackers, killing one and wounding one. The bandits escaped with four mules. There was q savage attack on the Turkish lega- ton yesterday afternoon. Not until i2 of their men had been Killed, did the bandits flee.

 Two hours passed and the navy operators caught this message:
 Although shooting continued all night, things seem on the whole Q little quieter. Accidental death of an American citizen shows consider able risk incurred by all foreigners :"
 Three hours passed. Then:
 Doctor Mally of the British Red Cross is reported to have been shot through the chest" Two Hours Of Silence
 Two hours of silence followed state department officials became alarmed. Then Engert informed them that the Turkish legation was in serious danger of attack and British soldiers had been forced to kill several Philippians to rescue the Turks.
 "If attacks are being made on the Turks, why not the Anericans2" of. flcials reasoned.
 Engert reported he had sent to the British embassy for trucks to evacuate the legation, If necessary.
 At il D. m. the legation reported the trucks had arrived.
 "The British legation very kindly sent not only three trucks but Con. sul Hope Gill, Military Attachc Tay- Tor and CaDtain Keene in command of l6 Sikhs of their legation guard.
 After obtaining from them lat- est information regarding the gen- cral situation I decided to exacuate the women and children only"
 The British legation was regarded the safest refuge because 1t is be- hind two lines of barbed wire. Ma chine guns are mounted on its walls and 1t is protected by . small unit of guards. Tho American legation iS walled, but otherwise unprotected.

 The crown prince, Asia Wosan, was behind his parents.
 The whole party waited for 6 few minutes in the grilling sun outside the station. Several women in the entourage broke into sobs. Those in the watching crowd were most af- fected.
 The emperor remained stoical as he drove on with the governor in Q limousine. There were some 20 in the party in all, the emperor's five children, and high officials. A Sec- ond train with more officials fol- lowed theirs.
 At the palace, the emperor and his encourage refused to See newspaper correspondents and secrecy was maintained as to their destination.
 Selassle's Destination
 London, May 4-CUP)-Empcror Halle Selassie probably will go to Palestine to pray in the Coptic church there but eventually is likely to come to London, AzaJ Martin, Ethiopian minister, said today.
 Martin said he would arrange for the emperor's second son to attend either Eton or Harrow schools in England. He expressed grave anxi- ety over the safety of his eight chil- dren fin Addis Ababa, about whom he has received no news.
 Emperor Halle Selassie is proceed ing to Jerusalem to take refuge un- der the British flag, Anthony Eden, foreign secretary, announced in the house of commons.
 Selassie Is Sovereeign
 Paris, May 4-CUP)-Empero Halle Selassie remains the sovereign of his country despite his fight to DJibouti, the British and French governments decided today in tele- phonic communication, authoritative sources said.
 As sovereign still. the emperor must have full liberty of movement, the AngIo-French decision held, as long as he does not attempt to di- rect resistance against the Italian invasion.
 The two governments failed to de- eide where the emperor should go in exile. France, at present charged with the safety of the Ethiopian royal family which is at it's French Somaliland port. was said to be willing for the exiles to find refuge in France.
 The conversations resulted in the decision. following British pressure. that Ethiopia still Is . sovereign na- ton and a member of the League of Nations.

BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Stan Correspondent

Washington, May 4--(UP) - A small band of determined men, cap- tained by Minister Cornelius Van II. Engert, held the U. s. legation at Addis Ababa today, prepared for possible attack from a mob ot rioting and pillaging Philippians.
 Armed only with rifles and pistols they were prepared to hold the le- gation and radio station-their sole contact with the outside world'-aa long as reasonable hope remained. But they were under orders from Secretary of State Cordell Hull not to risk their lives useleSsly.
 A truck from the British legation stood ready to take them to It's barbed wire, machine-gun protect cd compound if their situation be- came hopeless. Already they had sent women and children to it's pro. tection--all except Mrs. Engert, who insisted on remaining at her hus- bands side.
 Drunken Bandit Mob
 Around the legation surged the mob of drunken bandits, bent on loting everything of value remain- ing in the little African capital be- fore the Italian armies enters to complete an eight-months long con- quest of Ethiopia. Tn the back. ground fires razed building after building. The story of the little bands plight was sputtered out te- diously on the small portable radio station in the legation compound. Az fast as messages came in to the U. s. Nays powerful station at Ar- lington, Va. They were relayed to the state department, where offi- cials waited anxiously.
 At Engert's Side
 At Engert's side, grasping rifles and revolvers in readiness to repel an invasion of the legation, were the minister's staff of four men, four U. s. Navy radio operators. Hal Du Berrier, an American aviator, an American Technician named spen- cer, and Ben Ames and James Rohrbaugh, United Press correSpon- dents. Shortly before midnight the little radio station, manned by men who worked key, with revolver within reach, Sputtered out the fol- lowing message:
 Only Nine Rifles
 Among us we have nine rifles, two shotguns and ten revolvers with a fair amount of ammunition. l feel very strongly and my compan- ions agree with me that we should not abandon the legation and radio station without determined effort to hold them as they would certain ly be pillaged and burnt after our departure.
 "Should the situation become much worse, which I do not anti cipate, the department may depend on my withdrawing before 1t is too late. The British have left us Q truck for that purpose"
 Do not risk your lives needless ly," the state department replied, in effect.
 Log Of PiIIagc
 The log of the Addis Ababas pil- lage. reading like some dramatic chapter in Story-book, started at 9 a. tn. Sunday when Engert report ed Mrs. A. R. Stadins death. Tn the background flames were consuming a stricken city. deserted by It's of- flcials, while mob, frenzied by drink from footed liquor stores, fired thousands of bullets with careless abandon.

lending his impromptu fortress meantime was strengthened from an unexpected source.
 He reported that'an Ethiopian poe liceman had fled to the legation for shelter and had brought with him 8 submachine gun of Italian manu- facture.
 The policeman, in more peaceful times had sold curioS to Vice-Consul W. c. Cramp, and as rioting spread over the city, appeared at the lega- ton gates with his weapon. Whether the Americans had ammunition for their new guns was not known.
