KING UEI. DEAD
Ruler of Abyssinia Succeeded
by Youthful Grandson.
London, Feb. 3-King ?Menelek of Abys?
sinia is dead, according to a special dis?
patch received here from Addis-Abeba
to-day. His successor. Prince LidJ Jeassu.
one of his grandsons, entered the capital
on Sunday with great pomp
No official confirmation has been re?
ceived here of the death of Menelek, who
had on several previous occasions been
reported dead.
There have been many rumors during
the last five years of Menelek's death,
and it was reported at one time that the
fact was b?'lng suppressed and that the
Kmpress was conducting the affairs of the
Abyssinian kingdom until LldJ Jeassu
was old enough to take the government
into his own hands This was denied offi?
cially, and at the beginning of last year
Menelek was reported to be paralyzed
below the waist, and uncertainty has
since reigned as to whether he was really
dead or alive.
King Menellk has been reported dead
on several occasions, and In 1912. when
the rumor gained credence. It was sev?
eral months before the world Ifjfirned that
he was still doing business as ruler of
Abyssinia.
King Menellk II waa born at Ankobar
July 17, lag*, and was the son of Haell
Mellcoth, King of Shoa He waa said
to be a direct descendant of the Queen of
Sheba atid King Solomon. ?Mer.ellk's
father d.ed when the latter was twelve
y?:ars old, and the throne was seised by
Kassal, ?Governor of Kondor, who took
Menellk captive and proclaimed himself
Emperor. Menellk escaped and pro?
claimed himself King of dhoa.
Menellk as a rular waa keenly ?Jive
to the possibilities of hla country and
made many treaties looking to the dev-u
opment of Abyssinia, which has a popu?
lation of eight million.
Menellk became embroiled with Italy
In :?-7, when he thought that th? Italian
colonies threatened his own dominion. He
gather?id an army of "rO.-DOO men, d?*-****ead?*-d
upon the Italians and whipped them In a
HfiTie? of fights, actually forcing hla own
terms of pt??**? In 1896.
Adowa, the capital of Tlgr*?, In North?
ern Abyssinia, wa- on three or four oocav
seaslons loot?*d and burned. One of the
fiercest fight.?? of the war with Italy was
fought at Adowa, on March la 18!?. when
a crushing defeat was Inflicted upon the
Italians, who lost more than 4,200 whltea
and 2,000 native troops killend and wounded,
more than .?.?'*' prisoners being taken, of
which l.tWO were white. The Abysslnlans
admitted a llss of 3.000. A large body
of Italtans was advanced to av?-jige the
defeat, but the Abysslnlans had retired
Menellk tnvated his prisionera well, how?
ever, and It was said of him that through?
out the struggle he behaved with the
greatest humanity and dignity.
The war, so disastrous to Italy, at?
tracted the attention of the world to
Abyssinia and It?? monarch, and numerous
missions were dispatched to the country.
Menellk declared himself a Christian
and maintained a church establishment in
which there was a strange mixture of
Christianity and heathenism.
