ZANZIBAR, Aug. 28.-The palace of the sultan of Zanzibar was bombarded this morning and at noon was a mass of blaz- ing ruins. The usurping chieftaln. Said Khalid, and the commander of his forces, Said Sales, have succeeded in escaping to the German consulate, where they have sought refuge and remain under the protection of the German flag. . As cabled yesterday, Rear Admiral Hen- ry Rawson, C. B., in command of the British Cape of Good Hope and west coast of Africa station, and the British consul general, Mr. A. H. Harding, C. B., after holding a confeience yesterday, communi- cated by cable to the government of Great Britain an outline of the situation of af- fairs here, setting forth that Said Khalid, who seized the palace and proclaimed him- self sultan on the death apparently by poison of Sultan Hamed bin Thwain ben, Said. had been strongly re-enforced and positively refused to surrender. He had with him at that time about 2,500 well armed and 'well disciplined- men, including 900 Askaris who have been trained under British officers, plenty of ammunition and a number of field guns and other pieces of artillery, which were trained on the British warships. The Brltl'sh Forces. The latter, with the re-enforcements which arrived yesterday, were: The flag- ship St. George, Admiral Rawson, Cap- tain George Le C. Egerton, 7, 700 tons, two 22 ton guns, ten 6 inch quick firing guns and twenty-six smaller quick firing guns, 559 men. The third class cruiser Philomel, Cap- tain Michael P. O’Callaghan, 2,575 tons, seven quick firing guns and eight smaller quick firing guns. The third class cruiser Raccoon, Com- mander Powell 0. Underwood, 1,770 tons, six 6 inch guns and eleven smaller quick firing guns, 176 men. The first class gunboat Sparrow, Lieu« tenant Commander Francis G. ’1‘. Cole, 805 tons, six 4 inch guns and four smaller quick firing guns, 76 men. The first class gunboat Thrush, Lieu- tenant Commander Archibald P. Stod- dart, 805 tons, six 4 inch guns and four smaller [quick firing guns, 76 men, Later in the day cable instructions were received from London, and another confer- ence was held between the admiral and the consul general, and eventually an ul- timatum was sent to Said Khalid order- ing him to haul down his flag and sur- render with his forces no later than 9 o’clock this morning. At the same time the British residents of Zanzibar were notified to be on board Admiral Rawson’s ships by 8 o’clock. Refused to Surrender. During the past night there were a num- ber of disturbances among the natives in the outskirts of the town, but‘they were promptly suppressed by the 350 British marines and sailors who had been landed to protect property and guard the consu- late of Great Britain. It is understood, however, that Said. Khalid received further re-enfOrcements from the slave dealers, who flocked to his support, as the formal hoisting of the British flag over Zanzibar would mean the liberation of about 250,000 slaves and a de'athblow to slavery in this part of east Africa. “I I; By 8 o’clock the British shbjects, num- bering about 100 persons, and anumber of other foreigners had embarked on board the warships, the Italians going on board. the Italian gunboat Volturno and the Germans seeking safety at the German consulate. Shortly before 9 o’clock a naval officer was sent to the palace square with another message for Said Khalid, asking him if he was prepared to surrender in accordance with the terms of the ultimatum and again notifying him that the palace, in which he had barricaded himself, would be shelled at 9'0’0100k promptly if he failed to haul down his flag before that time. As before, Said replied that he would die sooner than surrender. ~ His answer was conveyed to Admiral Rawson and the British consul general and the creWs of; the ships which had been prepared for action the day before, when the guns ashore were trained on them, were sent to quarters. ~ A Storm of Shot and Shell. At 9 O’clock the flagship signaled. the Raccoon and Sparrow to commence firing, and a moment later the cruiser mentioned and the two gunboatn referred toppened fire with their heavier guns. and ten min— utes later they had sent a storm of shell and shot into the palace, tearing big» gaps in it, scattering death and confusion among its defenders, while dismounting some of the guns ashore and putting to flight the gunners handling the pieces. The fire of the warships was admirably directed, and smoke was soon seen to be issuing from several parts of the palace. During the time the St. George ”and the Philomel were held in reserVe, although they occasionally plumped a shell into the enemy’s camp, adding to the dismay of its defenders. The Raccoon, the Rush and the Sparrow kept up the bombardment until 9:50, when the palace was tumbling in ruins, and large rents had been made in the barri- cades of Said’s followers. The latter, however, answered the fire Of the warships with great persistency and gallantry 'and did not stop firing until in , response to the flagship’s signal of “cease firing.” The losses of the enemy are not known, but must have been heavy. especially among the defenders of the palace proper. Sought German Protection. During the bombardment the sultpn’s armed steamship Glasgow opened fire on the British warships, but a few shells from the heavy,guns of the Raccoon and a shot or two from the 4 inch guns of the Spar- row crushed through and through her, si- lenCed her fire in short order and ulti- mately sank her at her moorings. Soon after the ,palace caught fire, and the walls and roof were sent flying here and there by the shells of the warships. Said Khalid and Said Sales, the latter being the commander of the usurping sul- tan’s‘ army, escaped, with a number of their leading followers, through the back of the palace, made their way to the Ger- man consulate and asked for protection, which was accorded them. Admiral Rawson, in order to prevent the escape of Said Khalid and his fellow- ers to the mainland of Africa, where their presence would undoubtedly have caused trouble with the slave leaders and their adherents, sent detachments of marines, bluejackets and local Zanzibaris to occupy all the roads and avenues of escape, thus hemming in the enemy pretty effectually, although many escaped to the mainland and neighboring islands in scows. As this dispatch is sent fire is still pro- ceeding in the outskirts of this place, but all real resistance has ceased. Shortly after 10 o’clock, in response to another signal from the flagship St. George. re-enforcements of marines and sailors were sent from the British ships, and the work of corralling .the insurgents, collecting the dead and attending to the wounded was commenced. The Palace In Ruins. During this time desultory firing could be heard on the outskirts of the town, from where Captain Raikes, at the head of 400 loyal Zanzibaris and a detachment of British marines, notified Admiral Raw- son that he was holding all the main roads. When the insurgents had been compelled to lay down their arms and were securely corralled by the marines and bluejackets, the latter were ordered to try to ext-in- guish the flames in the guinea and in the old custom house, which had also been shelled and set on fire, as the insurgents had fortified it and had to be driven from the building. . But at noon, in spite of the efi’orts of the sailors to extinguish the flames, the palace was a mass of blazing ruins, the old cus- tom house was ln ashes, and a number of other buildings, demolished or set on fire by exploding shells, were in ruins. No casualties are reported among the British who remained ashore, and though all business is at a standstill order will be completelerstored before nightfall, and the foreign residents will be able to return to their residences ashore. All the war- ships did good execution with their guns, the 6 inoh guns of the Raccoon proving particularly effective. Temporary hospitals for the care of the native wounded have been established ashore, and they are receiving as much care from the surgeons of the warships as if they were British sailors or marines. The dead will be buried this afternoon, and for the present the island will be ad- ministered by Rear Admiral Rawson pending the receipt of further instructions from the British government. WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—The state de- partment has received the. following cable- gram from Consul Dorsey Mohun at Zan- zibar: “Military garrison refusing to surren- der, palace was bombarded by English troops at 9 o’clock this morning and total- ly destroyed. Many of the residents took refuge in German consulate. Afterward Hamoud proclaimed sultan. All Ameri- cans safe.” LONDON, Aug. 27.—Almost all of the daily papers this monring contain com- ments upon the situation in Zanzibar. Leading editorials in The Chronicle and The News favor. the annexation of Zanzi- bar, with a view to the suppression of the slaye trade. ' * The Times, however, considers this rath- er a double policy. OTTOMAN BANK SBIZED. A Mob Takes Possession of Turkey’s Chief Financial Institution. PARIS, Aug. 28.—The manager of the Ottoman bank here has received a tele- gram from the directors of the bank at Constantinople saying that the rioting there, which resulted in the seizure of the bank yesterday by a mob, is over. Official dispatches received here from Constantinople say that the French charge d’afialres there has installed a guard of sailors, from the French guardship La Feche, at the French embassy, as a meas- ure of precaution. The French govern- ment will immediately send a second gun— boat to Constantinople. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 2 .—The attack on the Ottoman bank yesterday by rioters, who overpowered the officials and took possession of the interior, firing through the windows at the soldiers who sought to rescue the bank and suppress the rioting, took place at 1 :30 o’clock in the afternoon. The attack was made by a score of men armed with revolvers and bombs. When theyinvade‘d the bank, they killed a. num- ber of gendarmes who were on guard. The employees of the bank fled to the quarters occupied. by the tobacco syndicate adjoining the bank. The invaders mount- ed the roof of the building and from the open windows fired at the police in the street below. The police returned the fusil- lade in avlgorous fashion, and several per- sons were killed nnd wounded. The riot then became general. Shops were sacked and bazaars invaded, and the wildest ex- citement prevailed throughout certain quarters of Constantinople. About 40 of the rioters Were still in pos‘ session of the bank at a late hour last evening despite all the efforts of the gov— ernment forces to remove them from the building. Advices from the disorderly sec- tions of the. city late last night were to the effect that the rioting continued, and that the mobs were constantly increasing in the Galata quarter. A bomb was exploded in Constantinople near the Galataserai guardhouse. Many soldiers were killed and wounded. The officials of the bank say that none of the staff was injured during the rioting, and that the bank was not robbed. A later report says that there is no doubt that the movement was revolution- ary in plan and scope; that it had its origin at the secret meetings of the Hint- chokist Armenians. Yesterday the British dispatch boat Dryad left Therapla, where she was an- chored, and proceeded to this~city. It is also expected that the French and Italian gnardships will reach Constantinople this morning. The British steamer Cockatrice arrived this morning en route for the Danube. She will probably remain here on account of the riots. The Ottoman bank is the chief financial institution of Turkey. It occupies in that country a position somewhat similar to that of the Bank of England in Great Britain and the Bank of France in the French republic. The loans of the Turkish government are generally negotiated through it. Two Trains Wrecked. WELCH,_W. Va, Aug. 28.—At Dunlow yesterday the pay train on the Norfolk and Western railroad ran' into a fast freight at V a curve, completely wrecking the pay train and the engine and seven cars of the freight. Vance, fireman of the pay train, was fat-ally hurt, and Floyd Turner, engi- neer of the freight train, may not recover. All traffic was delayed six hours. A. Chicago Bank Assigns.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.—A dispatch to The Chronicle from . Tromso. signed by Dr. Nansen, gives Captain Sverdrup’s account of the voyage of the From after Dr. Nan- sen left 'that boat. The dispatch says: “The ice pressure was never as severe as upon several occasions before Dr. Nansen left us during June, 1896. We were regu- larly exposed, however, to violent pressures, caused by the changing spring tides. The Fram Was once or twice daily lifted from six to nine feet. Her bottom became visi- ble as it rested on the ice. So little efi'ect did this have on the Fram’s timbers that the men continued their slumberings un- disturbed. -' ‘ - - “An easier arctic exploring expedition one could hardly imagine. The principal work was to take regular observations. sleep and eat. The health of the men was perfect during the entire expedition. There was not a sign of scurvy apparent among any of the men. When all efforts to ad- vance the boat through the ice by the force of steam or a process of warping failed, it was found that gun cotton mines proved the best means of shattering the ice. As a rule, very high ice fioes prevailed, so exten- sive that their termination could not be described even by the use of telescopes. Often it looked like a hopeless task break- ing our way out of the ice foot by foot, but with the liberal use of explosives and owing to the peculiar construction of our boat we finally succeeded.” - GOAL WILL BE DBARBR. The Price II to Be Advanced 25 Cents a Ton Sept. 1. NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Fcllowlng the advance in anthracite freight rates recent- ly announced, which was made to adjust rates to the then existing basis of prices for coal, the New York and Phiadelphia anthracite mining and carrying companies will advance domestic sizes at tidewater 25 cents per ton, to take effect Sept. 1. The new circular does not apply to west- ern coal prices, which Have not yet been considered. Neither has the question of production of anthracite for September been decided. It is estimated, however, that the market will require from 4,000,- 000 to 4,250,000 tons for that month. The demand for coal is light at present, and the latest advance is made to stimu- late a more active inquiry. The new cir- cular is: Stove, $4.50; grate, $4; egg and chestnut, .25. These are gross f. o. b. prices. The Reading Advance. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28.——The Reading company has issued a circular advancing the price of anthracite coal 25 cents per ton at tide water points. It is supposed that prices of coal for delivery in this city and vicinity will also be advanced. Threatened a Millionaire. COLORADO SPRINGS, Aug. 28.—W. A. Faulk, who says he is from Valley Falls, Kan, has been arrested on a charge of having written letters to W. S. Stratton, the millionaire mine owner, threatening him with death and the destruction of his property unless he should deposit $1,200 in a certain cave at Divide, near Cripple Creek. Stratton turned the letters over to the authorities, who neatly trapped Faulk in his cabin near the cave. Postmasters Appointed.

Does this seem too early to anticipate while the child is yet unborn? It isn’t. The child’s des- tiny has already been partly mapped out by Nature according to the disposition and habits of the parents. The best plan a mother can make for the future happi- ness of her unborn child is to maintain her own cheerfulness and health while her child’s undeveloped being is still a part of hers.
