London, March 16.—The British admiralty announced last night that the German Dresden, sister ship of the famous Emden, was sunk Sunday off Chile by the British fleet. All of the crew were saved and landed at Valpariso, Fifteen were injured. The announcement of the sinking of the Dresden came after nightfall, | but the news spread quickly through | the theaters and restaurants and there was much rejoicing that this commerce raider, whose whereabouts has been a mystery since her escape after the Falkland Islands engage- ment in December had at last been cent to the bottom. The fact that all the crew of the , Dresden were saved sets a new record for rescue after an action at sea, and a naval battle of five minutes’ dura- tion is probably another record. The details furnished by the admiralty are cruiser . scant, but apparently the British ships | were not even hit, for no damage is recorded. Admiralty Statement. The sinking of the Dresden Wwas { announced by the British admiralty ! last night in the following statement: “On the 14th of March, at 9 a. m,, H. M. S. Glasgew, Captain John Luce, L. N.; H. M. auxiliary cruiser Orama, Captain John R. Segrave, R. N. C. B. R. N, caught the Dresden near Juan Fernandez Island: : “An action ensued and after five minutes’ fighting the Dresden hauled down her colors and displaved Lhe} white flag. She was much damaged and set on fire, and after she ‘had been burning for some time her magazine exploded and sne sank. “The crew was saved, fifteen badly wounded. The Germans are being landed at Valparaiso. ‘There were no British casualties and no damage to the ships.” Escaped in December Battle. . The Dresden was a member of the German squadron which was defeated by the British squadron off the Falk- land Islands in December. She was the only one of the five German war- ships to escape. She was sald to have fled westward but there have been no definite réports as to ner where- abouts since that time.' She was re- ported unofficially to have been seen in the Straits of Magellan, and later to be in hiding in one or the bays on the Chinean coast. The Dresden was a sister ship of the famous Emden, which was sunk off Cocos Island in the Indian Ocean by the Australian cruiser Svdney after an adventurous career. The sinking of the Dresden leaves at large on the high seas, so far as is known, only the cruiser Karlsruhe, last reported as operating in the West Indies, and the auxiliary cruiser helm, which is still raiding commerce in the South Atlantic. At the outbreak of the war the Dresden was assigned to the West Tndian station, and just prior to the and | H, M. S. Kent, Captain Jonn D.

Little was heard /of her until the battle off | the Falkland Islands. Late in August she sank the British steamer Hyades | off the coast of Brazil. No Match for British Cruisers. The Dresden, a vessel or 3,600 tons, was no match for the battle cruisers lin the fleet of Vice Admiral Sir Fred- erick Sturdee in the battie off the Falkland Islands, and after the de- struction of the Scharnhorst, Gniese- nau, Leipzig and Nurnberg she cteamed away and escaped her pur- suers in the darkness.

The Dresden’s armament was com- paratively light. She carried ten 4-1 inch guns, eight five pounders, four machine guns an dtwo torpedo tubes, She was 395 feet long. Her complement was 321 men. Juan Fernandez Island, near which the Dresden was finally run down, 1s a Chilean dependency in ' the Pacific ocean, about 400 miles off the main- land.. The Chilean government pro- tested to Germany In December against violations of neutrality by German warships in Chilean waters, and three destroyers were sent by Chile to the Juan Fernandez Islands. The solitary residence on Juan Fer- nandez Islands for four years of a Scotchman named Alexander Selkirk is supposed to have formed the basis of Defoe’s tale “Robinson crusoe.” The Dresden visited New York at the time of the Hudson-Fulton cele- bration.

His boss he explained, referring ‘o Law- rence, was a millionaire from Palm Beach, stopping at a local hotel. After agreeing upon a price, the party left Norfolk Saturday night at 10 o'clock, but were unable to get through on account of bad roads. They were | twice stalled in the mud and forced | to return, arriving here Sunday morn- ing. Ware was told to come to the hotel for his money. but was unsuc- | cessful in locating his fares and final- ly called upon the police. Prison Warden Notified, After both had been taken into cus- tody, Sergeant Hart at once suspected | that he had made an pnusual haul, | He questioned the men several times separately and gradually extracted enough information to warrant his communication with the Connecticut !authnri'ies, who informed him that | the men were wanted. The wire from | the warden said that Creaton had es- | | caped from the Wethersfield prison on February 28, and that Lawrence, a former guard, was wanted in con- | nection with the offense. he Lawrence Makes Denial. Creaton admitted to Sergeant that he was doing time for stealing a motor boat when he made his es- cape gnd had ten months more to serve. Lawrence, however, denied he had accompanied Creaton. He gaid that the escape was made while he was on duty and that he left when the authorities attempted to hold him to blame for it. He said he met Creaton in New York a few days after the affair. In the police court yesterday, Creaton said that his home wag in Palm Beach, and that he was down ane professors and three new instruc- tors were named at Yale University at a meeting of the' Yale corporation vesterday.

Paris, March 15, 10:55 p. m.—The exploit of a sergenat-major and a cor- poral of Chasseurs in capturing a German flag hoisted in a tree a short distance in front of the French line near Apremont, is described in an offi- cial note. The two soldiers resolved to remove this emblem from the sight of the French troops, and on the night of October 9 they crawled through the German barbed wire entanglements mvithout the sentries hearing them. Then the Frenchmen blew down the tree with detonators, and returned safely to their lines with the flag. SENT TO ORKNEY ISLANDS. Providence, R. I, March 16.—A message recelved here yesterday from Benjamin D. O’Connell, second officer of the Standard Oil tank steamer Pioneer, said that her crew was re- moved from the ship and sent to Kirk- wall, Orkney Islands, for detention when the vessel was held up by a British warship off the coast of Scot- land on February 16. The tank steamer was put in custody of a prize crew, according to O’Connell, The letter did not state what action in the matter was subsequently taken. ————— wniuNG GUNSHIPATIUR Much disease, trouble, suffering, de- pression and worry, usually blamed to other causes is due to constipation.

The two submarines and the mine layer Gen. J. M. Schofield which towed a number of barges, were sup- posed to represent a hostile fleet in an attempt to run past the shore bat- teries and to evade the mine field that had been planted as an additional safeguard. The approach of the hostile land means of the huge searchlights which have already been placed in position The submarines, however, managed to reach the vicinity of the forts un- observed and technically are supposed | to have made it rather uncomfortable for the batteries. Part of the hostile fleet was ‘“‘destroyed” by the mines over which it passed, the mines be- ing discharged from the batteries were directly over them.
