Said Khalid Was Driven From
Zanzibar Palace.
NEW RULER DIELY RECWXIZED-
More Blood Shed in Constantinople Armen
ians Make an Attack Which is Signal for
Terrible Slaughter by Followers of the
Sultan -Reported Stay of Hostilities. Etc.
ZANZIBAR, August 27. The palace
of the Sultan of Zanzibar was bombard
ed this morning and at noon was a
mass of blazing ruins. The usurping
chieftain, Said Khalid, and the com
mander of his forces, Said Sales, escap
ed to the German Consulate, where
they remain under the protection of the
German flag.
Rear-Admiral Henry Rawson, C. B.,
in command of the British Cape of
Good nope and West Coast Africa sta
tion, and the British Consul-General,
A. H. Harding, after holding a con
ference yesterday, communicated by
cable to the Government of Great Brit
ain that Said Khalid, who had seized
the palace and proclaimed himself Sul
tan on. the death, apparently by poison,
of Sultan Hamid bin Thwain bin Said,
had been strongly re-enforced and posi
tively refused to surrender.
Said Khalid had with him about 2500
well-armed and well-disciplined men,
including 900 Askaris. trained under
British officers, plenty of ammunition,
and field guns and other pieces of artil
lery which were trained on the British
war ships, the flagship St. George, the
third-class cruiser Philomer, the third
class cruiser Raccoon, the first-class
gunboats Sparrow and Thrush.

ARMEXIAX HORRORS.
Turks Indulge In Another Terrible
Massacre.
LONDON. August 29. A dispatch to
the Daily News from Constantinople
says that on Thursday it was estimated
that from 3000 to 4000 persons had been
killed in the riots in the different por
tions of the city. All Europeans en
route for this city have been turned
back by the cordons of troops occupy
ing the public places, the wharves and
bridges.
The whole thing could have been
stopped in an hour if the Government
had desired, but the members of the
mob pretend to have received permis
sion to loot, burn and destroy the Ar
menian quarters for a certain period of
time. It is feared that there will be
serious trouble in the provinces.

TWA8 AGAINST THE POWERS.
Armenians Explain AVhy They At
tacked the BanJc.
CONSTANTINOPLE. August 28
The Ministry of Police has appointed a
commission of eight Christians and
eight Mussulmans to inquire into the
revolutionary rioting on Wednesday.
The officials of the British Postoffice
were virtually prisoners until night,
and the mail was not dispatched. The
British Charge d' Affaires, Michael Her
bert, telegraph to Tewfik Pasha, the
Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs,
urging the prompt restoration of order.
It also appears that while the Otto
man Bank was being attacked circulars
were delivered at the different embas
sies signed by the Armenian revolution
ary committee, declaring that they in
tended to seize the bank and hold it for
two days, during which time they want
ed the powers to actively intervene in
the settlement of the Armenian ques
tion, and adding, that if the authorities
tried to recapture the bank they would
blow it up with all its securities.
Mr. Vincent went to the palace yes
terday evening to see .i-.e Sultan, and
while he was there a message was re
ceived from the revolutionists saying
that they were willing to surrender on
condition that they were allowed to
leave the country. Mr. Vincent ac
cordingly returned to the bank and
parleyed with the leaders of the Ar
menians through the windows.
The Armenians had revolvers in their
hands, and told him they held two of
the directors and a number of employes
of the bank as hostages, and that they
had seized the bank in order to create
a demonstration, not against the Turks
nor the banks, but against the powers,
who had abandoned the Armenians.
They added that they had selected the
Ottoman Bank because it was the most
suitable place, and expressed their will
ingness to surrender provided they
were allowed to retain thei revolvers
while yielding up the bombs in their
possession and receiving safe conduct
out of tne country. These terms were
agreed upon, and the Armenians sur
rendered last night and were conveyed
on board Vincent's yacht Gulnare.

ADMIRAL. HAWSOX'S REPORT.
Issued
Ultimatum and Proceeded
to
Bombard the Enemy.
LONDON. August 27 A dispatch re
ceived from Admiral Rawson, dated
Zanzibar, 2:45 P. M. to-day, says: "Is
sued an ultimatum at 7 o'clock this
morning calling upon the usurper to
haul down his flag and surrender to me
and directing, his followers to pile their
arms and leave the place before 9
o'clock, otherwise it would be bombard
ed. Instead of complying he commenced
increasing his fortifications, and his
corvette trained her guns on my squad
ron. I opened fire at 9 o'clock on the
palace and on the corvette, which
promptly replied. I ceased firing at
9:40, when the corvette was sunk and
all the guns were silenced, and the
usurper yielded to the German Consul.
Hamound has been appointed Sultan.
"The enemy's loss was heavy. Only
a petty officer of the gunboat Thrush
was wounded."
Much regret is expressed that Colo
nial Secretary Chamberlain sailed for
New York yesterday, since in Parlia
ment he had warmly espoused the abo
lition of slavery in Zanzibar, and his
influence would now be exerted to final
ly put an end to Arab rule. If an Eng
lish protectorate is published the con
trol of the Sultanate will be transferred
to the Colonial Department.

Jirltlsh Press Comment.
LONDON, August 21. Almost all of
the daily papers this morning contain
comments upon the situation in Zanzi
bar. Leading editorials in the Chronicle
and Daily News favor the annexation
of Zanzibar with a view to the suppres
sion of the slave trade. The Time, how
ever, considers this rather a doubtful
policy.
ADVOCATE OF CREMATION".
Kate Field's Friend Tells of Probable
Contents of the Will.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. In regard
to the disposition of Kate Field's body,
now lying at Honolulu, John Bowles of
this city, a personal friend of the dead
authoress, writes:
"The last time I met her our conver
sation rounded up on the philosophy,
wisdom and justice of cremation. Both
of us being members of the New York
Cremation Society, she spoke very
frankly on the subject, and closed by
saying:
" I have in my will made explicit
provisions for the cremation of my
body, in such terms as no friend or foe
of mine would think of disregarding
after I am dead.'
"So there is no doubt in my mind,
when Kate Field's will turns up, there
will be found a clause providing for
giving back to mother nature that part
of the perishable garments with which
she clothes all her children, through
the process of cremation."

K ATE FIELD'S ESTATE.
Collector Appointed to Take Change of
Her Effect;.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. The effects
of the late Miss Kate Field are in the
possession of the United States Consul
General at Honolulu. Therefore a de
mand was recently made on the Secre
tary of State for the will of the de
ceased, believed to be among her ef
fects. The department ruled, however,
that the Consul General shall only be
ordered to make a search, and if a will
is found to make a copy of it; but this
being insufficient in administration,
Judge Cox in the Probate Court today
appointed George Riddle of Boston as
collector of the estate.
A commercial treaty has been con
cluded between Japan and China on
the basis outlined in the treaty of
peace signed in May. 1897.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28. Li Hung
Chang, who for thirty years has held
the destinies of China within the hol-
VICEROY LI
low of his hand, today set foot upon a
new world, under a new sky, among a
new people, with a government for
which his language has no equivalent,
and he smiled. It was appreciation and
not satire that turned this ancient dip
lomat's fancy. He was a westerner
among easterners. He had dreamed of
the sun setting, while his country had
but saw it rise. He journeyed forth and
went into lands where the sun lived ar
ter it was born, and he is satisfied.
No tribute to a great man could have
been more frank or more magnificent
than that which descended upon the
St. Louis as she brought Li within the
environment of the Republic. He was
not regarded only as a servant of his
master, the Emperor of the oldest Em
pire; it was an acknowledgment of his
own greatness. He was a Bismarck or
a Gladstone. He was one if the three
great men now living who have built
empires, fought battles that have saved
their sovereigns, made laws which have
secured them, lived lives which have
been given as lessons to their country
men. From the time the American
liner with her distinguished passenger
passed the bar till she reached her pier
she passed through a continuous salute,
a splendid welcome.
Li Hung Chang was greeted by the
representatives of the Government. He
received the salutes of the army and
navy in this country, which he knows
commercially, but which is a tierra in
cognita to him politically. Then came
the extraordinary journey from Fulton
street to the Hotel Waldorf. He receiv
ed the cheers and the congratulations
of the citizens of the freest country
on earth, he. the representative of the
most absolute despotism, and the esti
mate of Li Hung Chang among those
who saw him and conversed with him

NEW YORK, Aug. 28. A special cor
respondent made the trip across the
Atlantic with Li Hung Chang and his
suite, and gives some interesting de
tails of the voyage. The Viceroy has
been impressed with the story of great
riches in America, and is always anx
ious to know from each person he talks
to about their wealth, and especially
how much they want before they, are
satisfied.
The Embassador also wanted to learn
about his reception in America. He
wanted to know whether there would
be a great public demonstration, and
whether the President had a palace on
Governor's Island or in New York to
receive him, and was very much sur
prised that no great appropriations had
been made to receive him, and that no
palace existed in our country such as
HUNG CHANG.
he had known in other countries, and
that the reception accorded him would
be in keeping with the simple Ideas of
a republic.
He was always carefully guarded by
about half of his servants. If a stranger
appeared a sign was given and they
would run together and present a solid
front to the supposed transgressor.

HI I. A XII. WILL SETTLE.
Promises to Make Proper Amends for
Italian Outrage.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. The Herald s
correspondent in Rii de Janeiro cables:
Senor Olieneira, the Brazilian Minister
to Italy, has had a conference with the
Minister of Foreign Affairs in Rome,
in which he promised that Brazil would
make full reparation for the insult to
the Italian flag. The Italian Govern
ment insisted that reparation must be
made without delay.
Premier Rudini has resolved to send
a strong fleet to Brazil to enforce repar
ation if necessary. Two ships carrying
emigrants to Brazil, which are ready
to sail will be allowed to leave Italy.
The Argentine Government has pro
hibited a meeting of Italians which
has been called to meet next Sunday
to protest against the attacks upon
Italians in Brazil.
The Brazilian Government has cabled
to the Charge d' Affaires in Rome to
obtain a suspension of the order to send
a squadron to Brazilian waters, in order
to avoid the outbreak of further trouble
on its arrival.
It is further cabled that the Brazilian
Government would asiine no respon
sibilitv for the remarks of Deputy Me-
i diros of Albuquerque, who was slapped
j in the face yesterday by Deputy Car
valho, the son of the Minister of For-
