THE ATTACK ON THE EVERE HANGAR.
VAIN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE AIRSHIP . (Reo. June 14, 0.30 a.m.) Paris, June 13; An eye-witness - of tlie bombing of tjie airship shed at Evere(near Brussels) states that it contained a Zeppelin, not a Parseval airship. The Germans tried to get the airship out, but it had only emerged a few yards when, the aviator dived within a few hundred yards of the shed and dropped three bombs, which exploded with a terrific noise. A few seconds later the airship blew up with a still louder report. The accomplishment of the feat was the signal for a great outburst of joy in Brussels. The Germans lost their heads and oalled up troops of cavalry, who charged up the Boulevard do Lambermont, where 10,000 people were assembled. Besides the Zeppelin, five Tanbo aeroplanes in the shed were burnt. Nineteen German soldiers were killed. The Germans are now raining fines on the noisy rejoicers.
