GERMAN INHABITANTS ORDERED TO LEAVE BRUSSELS.
CONTINUED OCCUPATION CANNOT BE GUARANTEED. OFFICERS' SAVAGE DESTRUCTION IN THE PALACE. London, October 22. The Amsterdam Telegraaf states that it has reliable information to the effect that the German commander at Brussels has notified the German inhabitants to leave the town within 48 hours. This is interpreted to mean that he is unable to guarantee uninterrupted occupation of the city. A party of German officers dined for three days at the palace at Brussels, and suddenly left, after slashing the paintings and carpets and riddling the furniture with bullets.
