Louis Bleriot, the French aviator, accomplished the re markable feat of flying across the Eng lish channel Saturday in 23 minutes. The distance from hia starting point, near Calais, to Dover, is about 22 miles, and be therefore traveled at the rate of nearly a mile a minute. The aviator left the French shore at 4:30 and within a few minutes sighted the white cliffs of the English coast He descended gracefully in tbe North Fall meadow, behind Dover Castle, at 4 :63 a. m. M. Bleriot looked little the worse for his hazardous trip, although bia foot is burned by petrol. This gave him some trouble, and he bad to be assisted to an automobile which waa waiting. He drove to the Lord Warden hospital. where he was greeted enthusiastically. A trench torpedo boat destroyer followed the aeroplane, but so swift was the speed of the machine that the destroyer waa soon left far behind, Although the start was made in calm weather, the wind soon rose and strong breeze waa blowing at the time of the descent, making the perform ance all the more noteworthy. The French torpedo boat destroyer arrived at Dover at 6 :50 with Bleriot'a wife and a party of friends on board. By his achievement Bleriot wins the special prize of $5,000 offered by the London Daily Mail. Jas. Muckle & Son Succecsori to Dart St Muckle ST.

Tribesmen Put Up Desperate Fight Against Trained Soldiers. Malaga, Spain, July 26. The steam er Menorquin, with 80 wounded aboard, arrived here today from Melilla, where the hospitals are overcrowded. Pas sengers on the steamer declare that the residents of Melilla are panic-stricken, the successes of the Moors giving rise to the belief that they will Bwoop down on the city itself. Friday's battle was sanguinary, there being much hand-to- hand righting. The Moorish tribes now gathered close to General Marina a camp are es timated at 16,000. Their recent losses are said to have been nearly 1,000. The Spanish forces lost n t less than 3,000 men. .
