cording to tho Times correspondent
in Antworo, Teleuhtphiiij: under dnte

"At 4 o'clock this mominjj the Ger

Nethe. Three times durinjr the nijiht
small detachments had not across

lvvo thousand Germans were on
this side of the river, 1 believe, by
(5 o'clock this morning and since then
they have by nil accounts been com
ing in numbers.
"Presumably Antwerp will now
have to submit to a bombardiueut or
perhaps to a sie'c.
"Two boats leave in tho early
morning with the Inst of tho Knglish

the consuls general on board. The

fulness is nbsolntoly nt an end. The
burgomaster has issued notion Hint
no icstriction will bo placed on the

and gient numbers probably will go
tonight or tomorrow while the roads
lo Ghent mid Holland are still open.
"Presumably the boats mentioned
will bo the lust lo leave, so Antwerp

destroying seven houses and killing
a scoro ot people
On account of tho Zcopelln's suc
cess, tho largo avenue leading to tho
railroad station quickly became black
with a struggling mass of persons
eager to escape from tho city. Seized
with an unreasonable, terrible fear
of a bombardment or ot a charge of
German cavalry, tho residents aro
transporting Invalids, cripples and
evon tho occupants ot lunatic asy
lums. Pathetic SlKlit Prrqucnt
It wag a, pathetic sight to see tho
poor people, nonio carrying on their
backs their hopelessly maimed or
Idiotic relatives who woro crowded
into -railway vans and transported
northward to remain In some cattle
shed or railroad platforms until
rooms can bo found for them in Dutch
as turns and Institutions
Tho situation, however, quickly
changed ngaln. While nt 2 o'clock
even grown men wero weeping with
terror and ffghting for places around
tho railway station, at C o'clock
everybody was again certain that thn
forces would bo nblo to hold out
against the Germans and oven throw
them back across tho river Netho,
whllo everybody waa tolling hla
neighbor how far superior tho guns
wero to tho German heavy artillery.
Taking to tho Cellars
Tho peoplo remaining In tho city
tonight are taking to tho cellars pro

morning.
Tho Belgian ministers uro trying to
reach Ostend though Flanders and

Tho Belgian army is marching Into
tho city, tlrod out, leaving tho guard

Tho asterisks aro given to denoto

If this dispatch is truo it would In
