Acquit Two Defendants.
Devils Lake's famous drugstore

cases for trial, it being against C. W.
Green. The case will come up in Jan

quittals. These cases were among the
most important of their kind ever tried
in the state and at one time Attorney
General Miller was identified with the

BATTLE LIKELY
NEARHANKOWT
Imperial Chinese Troops
Arrive on Scene.
NAVAL FORCE INCREASED
Government Warships Augmented by
Modern Gunboat and Bombardment
of Rebel Defenses Is Expected—Ger
man Marines Land and Battle With
Mobs Engaged in Looting the City.
Hankow, China, Oct. 18.—The im
perial government has begun prepara
tions for the recapture of Hankow and
Wuchang. The first trainioad of troops
from the north arrived on the scorn?
and camped in a businesslike fashion
north of Hankow. Several thousand
more soldiers are on the way and are
expected to arrive shortly. A detach
ment of the Wuchang garrison, which
retired from that city when the rebels
entered, crossed the river Yangtso
above the city and marched inland,
probably to effect a junction with the
troops from the north.
Earlier in the day the imperial naval
force in the river was augmented by
the arrival of one of the navy's mod
ern gunboats, which carried Ad::
Sah Chen Ping, who immediately
command of the situation. His tirst
move was t6 assure the' foreign
stils that the concessions would not be
endangered by any bombardment
which he might undertake. His pur
pose, it was believed, was to begin
shelling the rebel defense around Wu
chang at once.
The Red Cross society organized by
the revolutionary leaders has begun
removing the heaped up corpses from
the streets of Wuchang. Well to do
Chinese are subscribing liberally to
the funds for the work.
CAUSING PANIC AT PEKING
Passenger Traffic Suspended to Hasten
Transfer of Troops.
Peking, Oct. 18.—All passenger traf
fic between Peking and Tientsin has
been suspended by the government,
which is using every train out of the
capital for the transportation of
troops.
The closing of the railways has
caused a panic here, for thousands of
the lesser officials and business men
were arranging to send their families
away, a step now rendered impossible.
The situation grows more ominous
here daily. In tbe absence of reliable
Information the wildest rumors are
current and the unrest among the peo
ple is increasing rapidly.
The government seems at last to be
awakening from the stupor in which
tbe first news of the outbreak plunged
it. Twenty-four troop trains have left
Paotingfu and the Sixth army division
guns have been entrained.
Lieutenant Colonel William B.
Beach, who was sent here from Ma
nila to watch the Chinese maneuvers,
which were subsequently abandoned
Captain James H. Reeves, the military
attache of the American legation, and
Willis R. Feck, assistant Chinese sec
retary, have gone to the front with the
Chinese troops. They are the only
foreigners with the army.
MEAGER DETAILS OF AFFAIRS
German Bluejackets Landed at Han
kow Fight Chinese Mob.
Berlin, Oct. 18.—Advices received at
the foreign office from Hankow re
port that a German force of bluejack
ets, reinforced by German local resi
dents, have been landed at Hankow
and are engaged in fighting in the
streets with a Chinese mob.
The official report says that detach
ments were landed from the cruiser
l.eipsic and the gunboats Tiger and
Vaterland. Members of the German
colony volunteered to support the ma
rines.
The admiralty has iio further de
tails regarding the fighting at Han
kow, but understands that the Ger
mans are co-operating in the interna
tional landing corps' movement com
manded by the Japanese naval cap
tain.
EXPECT CANTON WILL FALL

Ing Battle.
San Francisco, Oct.
18.—Sixty-five
thousand revolutionary troops have
been ordered from Wuchang and Kal
fong to intercept Imperial soldiers en
route from Peking to tbe province of
Honan, according to a cablegram re
ceived by tbe Free Press, a local Chi
nese newspaper.
Twenty thousand Manchu troops
have been sent against the revolution
ists from Peking and an engagement
is expected within two days. If tbe
revolutionists are successful It Is ex
