WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 {Associated Pregs].—The British Consul at Ostend has placed his interests in the hands of the American consulate and will Icave toemerrow, the occupation of the city by the Germans being expected. Consular despatches to the State Department said tele- graph and telephone communication with Ghent from Os- tend had been cut and that Bruges and Ghent are in the hands of the Germans. AMSTERDAM (via London), Oct. 13.—The Germans are now marching in the direction of Ostend, and German bi- cyclists already have been seen in the vicinity of Ecclo, eleven miles northwest of Ghent, according to a despatch appearing in the Telegraaf to-day. LONDON, Oct. 13.—Late news from France, confirmed in part by the official French report issued at Paris this afternoon, shows that the forces arc assembling for a tre mendous struggle in Northwestern France .and Western Belgium. The official report declares that the allies have taken the offensive in the regions of Hazebrouck and Bethune against the German cavalry approaching from La Bessee and other points. Unofficial advices say that the first skirmishes of the battle of the Lys [in Western Belgium) are under way, the fighting so far having been between the cavalry, with which allies are well equipped. Still another report says the Germans and the allies are disposing troops for a great battle between Lens and Cassell on the westward wings of the opposing posts. Cassel is eighteen miles inland from the fortified seaport of Dun- kitk.on the Straits of Dover. ‘As the Germans have occupied Ghent, only thirty-six miles from Ostend, it seems certain that the great clash is alseady in progress along a semi-circle extending from Ghent through Cassel to Lens. ™ The German aim is evidently at Ostend and Dunkirk, and /.ne offensive move of the allies is intended to check their onward rush to the coast. PARIS, Oct. 13 (United Press].— sent Gen, d’Amande, commanding the French forces the extreme left, in the belief that the next great general ict of the war will be on Belgian soil. The allied forces in this theatre of the war are said to be well situated.

Cape Dutch Assure Govern- ment of Absolute Loyalty and Unanimous Support. LONDON, Oct 18 (Associated Prese).—The rebellion ef a section ef the Dutch element in South Africa,-| which broke to-day with @ @uddea- ness of a bolt from the blue, is the first warning note that has marred the harmony in the British Empire | since the outbreak of the war, and it |has momentarily diverted attention from the arenas near the heart of the Empire ‘That this rising was real and dan- gerous was sutliclently proved by of- ficlal despatches from Governor-Gen- oral Buxton to the Imperial Govern- ment and by the drastic steps Gen. Louis Botha and his colleagues have taken to stamp it out by the imposi- tion of martial law in the whole Union of South Africa. ‘The proclamation of martial law di- rectly charges the widespread secret propaganda of the Germans with be- ing responsible for the seduction of this command, which was one of the Union Government undertook to re- eve the home Government of the task of dealing with the German colonies in the Continent of Africa, It apparently 1s the belief of Gen. Botha's Government that others be- + 3 those under the immediate com- mand of Col, Mar: « may have been affected, bence the inclusion®of the whole doviinion in the order estab- ishing martial law. Germanizing factors are sald by british authorities to have been at work for years in the frontier dls- tricts, and to) /e even percolated in- to Southwestern Transvaal .nd other Dutch districts. Telegrams from Cape Town declare, however, that a ma- Jority of the Dutch remain abso- lutely loyal, and this secns to be an emergency meeting of the South African party summoned immédiately after the news of th. rebellion had leaked out. The meeting, which was composed entirely .f Dutch speaking Afrikanders, condemned the conduct of Col, Maritz in the strongest terms. A telegram was despatched to Pre- miler Botha unreservedly offerin;, the ser ‘ices of the Cape Dutch in any eqpacity desired. The Dutch paper Ons Land, pub- lished at Cape ‘Town, indignantly de- nounces what it terms the treachery of Col. Martiz and calls on the Duteh throughout South Africa loyally to stand at the back of the Government, The Union Government's action ts bound to bring matters to a head and to disclose the true attitude of the Dutch element, which, it is contended, | is overwhelmingly loyal to the British Empire. ‘The proclamation imposing martial law is as follows: “Whereas, a state of war exists be- | tween the British Empire on the one hand and the German Empire on the other; and | “Whereas, the Government of the | Protectorate of German Seuthwest geen on Second Pagy.) four armies sent in the field when the| shown by resvlutions drawn up at| SAY POLICE, SHAKES FIFTH AVENUE GURGH =: One Person Hurt and Panic Among Worshippers—Concussion Startles City for Many Blocks Around Edifice. An explosion in St. Patrick's Cathedral ocourred shortly after & o'clock this evening, wrecking pews, breaking windows, scatering the Afty or more worshippers, mostly women, to the various exits in a state of panic and wounding Joseph Rodgers of Philadelphia. The first report was that the explosion was caused by a bomb thrown by a lunatic. After a hasty in- vestigation by the police reserves it was announced that a hot air box, part of the church ventilating system, had blown up, Later the police inclined to the bellef that the explosion was due to dynamite and that there was every evidence of a dynamite outrage. While thousands of people came flocking from all sides and traffic on Fifth avenue became paralyzed, police reservos arrived under direction A’ cordon of patrolmen and plain clothes men was of Inspector Cahalane thrown about the Cathedral and a systematic hunt was made of the edifice to arrest any guilty person who might be hiding within. So far as the police could learn, the explosion occurred on the north side of the Cathedral near the Fifth avenue entrance. Many of the ornate pews were reduced to kindling wood and glass from the costly windows was scattered everywhere. The police worked quickly and gathered together as many as possible of the fifty worshippers. Joseph Rodgers was near the north Fifth avenue entrance when the explosion occurred. He was thrown violently to the floor and became entangled for a time in a mass of wrecked pews. Most of the other worshippers were up near the mafn altar, and although some of them were hurled about the police were unable to learn that any had been seriusly injured. The report of the explosion was heard for blocks around. Frightened families left their houses and rushed through nearby streets. Mgr. Lavelle, rector of the Cathedral, was satisfied that an outrage had been committed. “I can only ascribe the explosion,” said he, “to the work of some unfortunate, demented person. “It was not very serious, not sufficiently so to be due to pure malice. “Tt was a small bomb, It did little actual damage outside of splintering some of the pews and tearing a hole in the floor about two feet square. It filled the Interior of the church with smoke and caused a lot of excitement among the worshippers. | have no idea who did it “L have received no threatening letters of any kind in @ long time and am at peace with the world “In fact, I might say we have never been freer from criticisms of any kind. Although the police searched the Cathedral and scoured the neigh- borhood, no arrests were made.
