Through Misuse of Wireless and the Taking on of »I Supplies in Waters of the United States. ‘Washington, Dec. 15.—Colonel Goe- thals, governor of the Panama canal sone, has reiterated his request that two torpedo boat deaigoyers be sent 1o canal zone waters to prevent viola- tion of neutrality through ‘the misuse ‘of wireless and the taking on of sup- | * plies by belligerent vessels. Because of the ‘confidential nature of Colonel Goethals’ dispateh Secre- tary Garrison declned to make it pub- lc. He issued this statement: “The substance of ‘the dispatch is hat, in Colonel ‘Goethal's judgment, the misuse of radfo communications -within' canal waters, and the preven- tion of the misuse of the watsrs 33 2 base of supplies, require the presence of swift moving ships of the varlety glri sppdents from Chinn mentioned. *. “Since the quelflopwvolvg_d l;ulre the consideration of the staté depari- ment and fhe navy department as well as my own I have taken the matter up with the other departments and &8 soon as the requirements are ascer- tained fully proper action will be tak- en to meet them,” ‘i Offending Country Not Stated. Secretary Garrison declined to dis- <cusg the situation in the canal zone, or to indicate which of the belligerents ‘was violating the neutrality of the United States. It is &nown, however, ‘that the Aus- traitan collier Malina, which recently left Balboa without clearance papers, ‘has been under close observation by Panama canal officials. That ship, as well as other colliers, has been sus- pected of supplying British ships in Pacific waters. Alleged violations of canal zone shipping regulations have been the basis of strong representa- tions to the British minister at Pan- ama. The Lamson, Worden, Terry, Per- kins and Walke are in reserve at Charleston, S. C., and one or more of these vessels could be dispatched to canal waters almost instantly. On the Pacific coast the nearest craft avail-| able are the Whipple, Paul Jones, Per- ry, Preble and ’lrux!on all lying off San Diego. TURKISH BATTLESHIP IS SENT TO BOTTOM London, Dec. 15.—The admite . - nounces that the Turkish battleship |* Messudieh was torpedoed and sunk by a British submarine in the Darda- nelles. The official bureau’s statement is as follows: “Submarine B-11, in charge of Lieu- tenant Commander Norman H. Hol- brook of the royal navy, entered the Dardanelles and in spite of the diffi- cult current dived under five rows of mines and torpedoed the Turkish bat- tleship Messudieh, which was guard- ing the mine field. “Although pursued by gun fire and torpedo boats the B-11 returned safely after being submerged, on one occa- sion, for nine hours. “When last seen the Messudieh was sinking by the stern.” The Messudieh was an old boat. having been built at Blackwell, Eng., in 1874, and reconstructed at Genoa in 1903. It was 332 feet long, 59 feet | beam and of about 10,000 tons burden. JIts main battery consisted of two 9.2-inch guns in turrets and twelve 6- inch guns in battery. It carried a crew of 600 men. IS SAID TO BE UNINJURED CGerman Cruiser Dresden Making for the High Seas. Buenos Ayres, Dec. 15—The Ger- man consul at Punta Arenas has re- torted that the cruiser Dresden of Admiral von Spee’s squadron had passed that port, escaping the British fieet uninjured. The consul ‘reported that the Dres- den had wirelessed to him a brief ac- count of the engagement with .the | British and stated that he was pro- ceeding to the high seas. In view of other reports that have been received here the statement that the Dresden is uninjured is not gen- erally believed. It appears to be set- tled, however, that the cruiser report- ed aground off the mouth of the Gal- Jejos river was not the Dresden. Chanceller’s Son Hurt. Paris, Dec. 15.—Reports reaching here from Berne state that a son of the German chancellor, Dr. von Beth- mann-Hollweg, has been injured seri- ously at Piotrkow, Russian Poland, and that he has been captured by the Russians.
