A REIGN OF TERROR.
FRENZIED BELGIANS SEEK REFUGE UNDERGROUND.
(Received Last Niicht. 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, Sept. I'.
The "Daily Chronicle's" Antwerp correspondent made a personal visit to Malines, which showed that tdo reports of damage to that city had been greatly exaggerated. Thousands of windows had been smashed and seventy houses practically destroyed, despite the fact that there was a
three days' bombardment. The correspondent adds:—''The streets are deserted, the remaining inhabitants taking refuge in underground passages, which extend in all directions. 1 found two hundred old men and women in a, dark and wet passage, stretched trembling on mattresses in a veritable frenzy of terror, believing the Germans were coming to kill them. The German terrorist policy ha s been thoroughly successful."
