Monday itfternoon n follews:
"This is Iho sixth day of the slope

ovoinmont officers oKnly declared
they expected a honilmrdment of the
city by the middle of the week, but
were resolved to resist to the last,
though they feared this meant de
struction of the city.
"As a precaution the boilers of all
the German sliiw in Antwerp have
been exploded so as to prevent the
use of the Scheldt and Antwerp as a
(lennau base. The detonations set
tho excited Sunday crowd near to
panto.
Veoplo Are Orderly
"Tho peoplo generally arc orderly,
however, and arc keeping up a cheer
fill demeanor. The siege of Antwerp
began September 28 with a fierce
bombardment or the town of .Valines,
where the undent church was se
verely damaged. Next day the town
of Lierrc was bombnrded, and here,
too, the church was 'destroyed. In
this attack seven uitizciM were killed

REGARDING RESULTS
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S. Today's
weather predictions for tho world's
baseball scries game tomorrow and
Saturday saddened the hearts ot tho
fans. They were for low hanging
clouds with occasional light rain.
Conditions were unfavorable today
for the final practice of tho Philadel
phia Athletics and tho Uoston Braves.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S. Deter
mined to witness the first contest of
tho world's chnmplonshlp series be
tween tho Uoston National's and the
Philadelphia American League team,
more than a scoro of fans look their
position In a lino outsido of the
bleacher entrance to Shlbe Park last
night. It was more than 36 hours
before tho tlnio set for the opening
of tho gates for the initial contest
when Oeorgo Uoss of Camden, X. J.,
took his placo at tho head of tho lino.
A cold, drizzling rain which felt
Intermittently during the night, made
it uncomfortable for tho prospective
purchasers of bleacher seats, and
tunny of them sought protection on
tho porches of nearby residences.
SjnTiilsiturs ltcup Hat-tost
Hundreds of tho reserved scat
tickets fell into tho hands of specula
tors, who aro asking $35 for a set
iion, but in the evening the liolviiin of three S tickets. Tho price for a
infnntrv arrived, and at lust accounts set of 3 seats was $25 and for three

'The next day tho village of Duf
fel was bombnrded, and hero the tall
factory chimneys offered aiu excel
lent target. The potiulatSoii fled to
Antwerp, leaving behind several dead
and wounded.
"Antwerp is defended by n cireh
of fortification'?, of which the most
important are situated between the
river Nether, llupel and the
Scheldt. After taking Duffel, the
Genua iih allocked this semi-circle of
fort with their heavy artillery. The
retreating IJelgian nnny destroyed the
bridges ueross the Kethe.
"The Germans spent Saturday try
ing to ford the river Nellie under
cover of the terrific urtillery fire.
"King Albert, the equal of any sol
dier in his devotion to duty, daily ex
poses himself to personal danger. The
queen is devoting her timo to the hos
pitals. Wonderful Soldiery
"Most wonderful, however, is the
patient, unfaltering courage of the
average Belgian soldier, who has now
been fighting for nine weeks. Tired,
with hollow eyes, unkempt, unwash
ed mid provided with hasty meals, he
is spending most of his time in the
trenches. He never complains, but
rotnnins Btcndy under the terrible
fire.
"Antwerp's greatest fear is that
Iho magnificent church tower of Our
Lady will be tho target of the bom
bnrdment, and it was proposed to
house German prisoners inside as u
protection for tho ancient building.
"There is great indignation against
the Gennnn captain who is charged
with having ottered Hie burning of
Louvnin, find who was captured lit
tho buttle of Aerschott. In private
life the innn is n lnwyer and his only
defense, it is said, is that he received
orders from his superiors. I To will
bo courtmnrtialed next week, nnd the
expectation here is that bo will be
condemned to die."

"In .their nrc-ent position, the German-,
even with their second largest
pins, are able to reach the city."
The correspondent of the Chron
icle at Antwerp under date of Wed-ne-dav.
lakes n contrary view. He
says :
"There is an air of quiet confi
dence that the Germans will never
capture the city. Number of the
forts are Imldiii" out with great stub
bornness and the threatened bom
bardment is a desperate attempt to
force them to cnnitulate in order to
save the citv from damage.
"For some days flags with red and
white diagonal stripes havo tlowtt
from churches and other buildings,
those on the cathedral and St.
Jacques tower being especially con
spicuous. The.-e tings indicate that
the buildings serve no militnrv cud.
Prlo for Hie I'lrM Man In
"It is staled that the Germans
hae promised to spare such build
ings as much us possible. All lights
in the town arc extinguished at dusk
and the shops c)ost at 1.
"It is rumored that I'mpcror Wil

"For twentv.four hours the Ger

of Luith fiercely, but the Helgiatis
held the place until it was in t lames,
then evacuated it.
"Near Tcnnonde the Germans are
fighting desperately to cross the

that they have not succeeded."

OF WAR BATTLES
LONDON, Oct, 8. - A news letter
received by the Neuter Telegram com
pany from Venice reads:
"According to word received here
from Vienna, tho Austrian public is
waiting in dumb patience for some
definite news ns to whut is really
happening in Galicia and along the
Servian frontier. Although there is
mi uneasy feeling that affaire sue not
going well for Austria, the inass of
the people still pin their faith on
Germany, and tire confident that no
matter what happens now, the Ger
mans will eventually save the situa
tion. "Many others, however, disgusted
with the ambiguous ami scanty re
ports from offieiul sources, are be
ginning to disregard the newspapers
altogether. Ever since it became
known that Hussiu wns mnking such
startling headway in Galicia, the Vi
enna newspaper comments hae been
most guarded. The editorials deal
chiefly with the German campaign in
western Europe, Hum seeking to di
vert public attention from the Aus
trian reverses at I.eniherg nnd along
the Servian bonier, but the presence
of 70,001) Polish refugees from Gal
icia, added to the enu-jtant arrival of
trainloiids of wounded, has consid
erably discounted the effects of of
ficial reticence.
"Commerce mid induslrv sire par
alyzed throughout the dual monarchy,
and the stoppage of c.xpoits threatens
to ruin some of the largest industries,
notably the sugar trade. Millions of
pounds of sugar arc cut iiiiuually

SAN FUANCtSCO, Cal.. Oct. 8.
The correspondent at Papeete, writ
ing under dale of September SIA,
three days after tho w'Hlciuciit was
shelled by the (lei mint cruisers
Schaioiihorst and Gneseuau, places
the damage done at "more than f 1,
000,000.'' F.stiumtes given yesterday
by pussengeis and officers of the
steamship Moaua ranged from $."00,
000 to .f '2,000,000,
"The small loss of life," writes the
correspondent, "is unuucsljouably
due to defective Geiimui gunnery.
Some of Iho shots went exliemely,
even absurdly wide of the mark, and
although 101 2.8 centimeter shells
were fired at the forts, no damage
was caused to the butteries or works
and no one was injured."
The cruisers did not enter the har
bor, but lay off horc, out of intfgo
of the inferior French gnus. After
igoroiisly shelling the forts to no
purpose, the river patrol bout Zclc,
dismantled til the beginning of the
wur, next claimed attention. She
sank almost immediutcly. Some of
the S.'2-ineh shells passed through
her nnd, being badly timed, did Dot
