BIG BRITISH | BATTLESHIP - TORPEDOED Suuerdreadnnught Audacious Sunk, _MOST OF THE CREW SAVED BY OLYMPIC White Star Liner Ten Miles Dis- tant When Help Is Asked. New York, Nov. 16.—Rumors of dis aster to the British superdreadnought Audacious, which have persisted ever since the White Star liner Olympic, diverted from its course, arrived at Lough Swilly on Oct. 29, are confirm- ed in mail advices received from -a point in Ireland. After a career of less than two years, the Audacions, of the King George V. ciass—third in tonnage and armament of his majesty's warships— lies at the bottom of the ocean off the north coast of Ireland. It was hit by a torpedo or disabled by a mine just before 9 a. m. on Oct. 27. With tha possible exception of one or two men the whole crew of 00 officers and men was rescued by small boats from the Olympic. The rescue was made in a rough sea through bri it and daring sea- manship on the part of the White Star crew. The battleship’s cry was caught by the wi of the Olympl for assistance 55 operator only about ten miles distant. The steamer rushed forward at full speed, while its crew made ready for their work. Volunteers were called for and double the number nec- essary to man the lifeboats respond- ed. Before noon all but 100 of the Audacious’ men had been transferred. Decided List at Stern. By that time the battleship had a declded list at the stern, where just below the water line it had received its wound. Two of its engines were unharmed, but the one aft was put out of commission. After taking off all the officers and crew who would leave the ship Cap- tain Haddock of the Olympic turn his attention to an atlempt to s the warship. A cable was given It, but it snapped as it tightened. Meanwhile the bulkhéads began to give way and it was soon apparent that it would be impossille to tow the ship or keep her afloat. The cruis- er Liverpool and several other war ships, which had come up, stood Ly. Late in the afternoon it w declded to abandon the Audacious and th ofli- ers and men who had remained aboard reluctantly left it. The fiotilla ol e ued to stand by, hos when a terrific explosion occurred on board and the Audacions plunged stern first and in a moment disappeared. The explosion is supposed to have been caused by shells set loose by the listing of the battleship. The Audacious met its late twenty- five miles off the Irish coast, which the Olympic was sk ng. -ue ships contin sver, until 9 p m..

Even though the worst comes to the worst it is believed ceuttin that ohe, or at the most two, geheral battles will decide which of thg"factions now the restoration of real constitutional government. It is because of the réalization that 0 an ever present source of irri- tirn that American trocps havebeen cred to leave Vera Cruz by Nov.' faz 5 have protested to the cepartment that keeping the and the many wild, irre- rors printed in the Unit- nd sent bzck to Mexico as actual facts have complicated the sit- uation. Bryan of Same Opinion. Because he believes that this is the exact truth Secretary of State Bryan has asked that the trcops be brought home, Before this action was taken the secretary conferred with the rep- resentatives of the A. B. C. powers. They agreed that the Mexicans have heen coddled too much. Thrown on their own resources and forced to organize a stable govern- ment it was believed the resultant crisis would develop the real Mexican leader and that out of the present chaos order would come much quicker than if the Mexicans realized they were accomplishing the task them- selves and not operating under outside influence. Just who is to receive more than 31,000,000 collected customs receipts at the port of Vera Cruz will not be decided for the present. Secretary fryan will insist upon protection of Americans and other foreigners. As- urances have been received of this v-m the Agunas Calientes convention ind also fiom ranza.

London, Nov. 16.—The Turks, in an official commuricaticn given out at chief headquarters at Constantinople, claimed to have invaded the Russian territory ‘of Csucasia. The Turkish official communication, contained in an Amsterdam dispétch to Reuter’s Telegram company, says: “Our troops, after a surprise attack, occupied all the Russian block houses on the border of the vilayet of Trebi- Zoni, penetrated for three hours in Russian territory in the direction of Batum and occupied the Russian bar- racks of Kurdahln. “In the battle of Koprukeui, thirty miles east of Erzerum, on the 11th and 12th, the Russians were defeated, losing 4,000 dead, 4,000 wounded and 500 prisoners. Our troops captured 10,000 rifies and very much ammuni- tion. ‘ “The Russians retired in bad condi- tion in the direction of Kutch.
