London, Jan. 28.—An official state- ment issued last night sa: ““The German cruiser Kolberg is re- ported to have been sunk in Sunday’'s battle in the North Sea.” The admiralty has received the fol- lowing preliminary telegraphic report from Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty regarding the naval action: A flotilla of destroyers about 7:30 o'clock in the and attacked the whose force, according to the reports ved, consisted of four battle crui- sers, six light cruisers and some de- royers. Their position when sighted was approximately fourteen miles east southeast of our battle cruiser squad- ron. “Orders were given by destroyer flotiila to and to report their movements. As it appeared that they had at once com- menced to retire to the east south- eas to steer southeast, with a view to se- curing the ’ee position and to cutting the enemy off if possible. The situa- tion developed by degrees into a stern chase. patrolling morning chase the enemy Enemy Gradually Overbhauled. S to peed was worked up to knots and the enemy were gradually being overhauled. At about 18,000 yards a slow and deliberate fire w opened and we began to hita range of 17,000 yards. Our fire was returned by the enemy. “The Lion and the Tiger, havin drawn ahead of the remainder of th squadron, were in action alone some time and consequently werc jected to the enemy’'s concentr: fire, more particularly the Lion, which ship suffered more as a result. “The other vessel s they drew up, engaged the enem A German tilla of destroyers was disposed on the starboard beam of their an attack by them was driven off.

At the same time enemy submarines were observed on the starboard bow and a coursc was in order to avoid them “The Bluecher (German).was in a critical ndition, with her speed reduced, and the Indomitable, which had now come up, was directed to complete her destruction. “The rest of the squadron were di- rear of the ene- my The Lion, with escort, steered to the northwest, steaming with one en- gine, and 1 transferred my flag to one of the destroyers and subsequently to the Princess Royal.

The presence of the enemy's submarines subsequently necessitated the action being broken off. Also “The result of the action was that the Bluecher was sunk and two other battle cruisers were heavily and seriously damaged. The prisoners reported also that berg had been sunk by from our squadron. “Subsequently the starboard gines of the Lion also developed trouble from the same cause as the engines, and the Indomitable her in tow and brought her into port.

The Kolberg was a of 4,350 | tons displacement and carried a crew of 362 officers and men. She was 402 feet long and had a speed of about 24 knots. The cruiser was armed with twelve 4.1 inch guns, four - pounders, four machine guns and two torpedo tubes. Her cost was $1,- 907,400. According to a trustworthy author- ity the condition of the German battle cruisers Seydlitz and Derflinger, when the pursuit was abandoned owing to the approach of the German mine fields, was desperate in the extreme. The Derflinger was believed to have been torpedoed by a British destroyer and it was considered questionable whether she would be able to reach the safety of the mine fields The battering of the German ships was said by this * authority to have been rather underrated than exagge ated. Two of the German destroyers, it was asserted, were so badly dam- aged by the British fire that it was impossible that they could long re- )‘mn afloat.

PLAN TO FINANCE NEW HAVEN ROAD Bils in Connecticut and Rhode | Isiand Legislatures. Boston, Jan. 28.—Bills calling for of the Haven and Hart advocated by the and to a statement issued last night by How- ard Elliott, president of the road. A similar measure will be introduced in the Massachusets legislature in the near future, he gaid, “The New Haven at present,” said Mr. Elliott, “has a floating debt of about $53,000,000, about $30,000,000 of which will mature by May 1 and about 000,000 more by August 1 At present the only available means of financing that debt is by a further issue of short term notes, but there is always dufficulty in obtaining money that way and when obtained high rates of interest must be paid, which makes it still harder for the railroad to provide adequate service and make the improvements and better- ments which are constantly needed to in proper condition legislation York, railroad, to permit financing New in form be filed Rhode Island weel, a the directors of next by will legislature Connecticut according to and to serve the public. To Issue Preferred Stocks, Legislation is especially desired to make clear the right of the railroad companies to issue preferred stocks means of raising money; or legalize a plan to convert the float- ing debt of a road into a long time mortgage bond carrying a much lower rate of interest. | “The issue of preferred stock a desirable method when practicable said Mr. Elliott's statement, “but it is not clear that the right exists un- der the present laws. Connecticut has given the right, but there is doubt { whether Massachusetts gives it to railroad corporations. This doubt has removed by certaln Massachu- setts legislatures ag to street railway, gas and electric light companies. There is also some uncertainty in this respect umnder the statutes of Rhode Island.
