The German fleet con- sisted of the armored cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the: light cruisers Nurnberg, Leipsic and Bremen, The British squadron was made up of the cruisers Monmouth, Good Hope and Glasgow and the transport Otranto, commanded by Rear-Admiral Cradock. That the Germans were able to sink or scatter the British squadron with only minor damage to their own ships and a casualty list of only two wounded is a subject of wonder. The Monmouth is known to have been lost with practically all of her crew as a result of this tirst big naval fight of the war. The Good Hope was severely damaged and on fire when she escaped under cover of dark- ness and it is believed here that she went to the bottom while the Glasgow and Otranto took refuge in a Chilean port. The Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Nurnberg are still in the harbor coaling and provisioning in preparation for steaming away later in the tere day. It is supposed they will relieve the cruisers Leipsic and Bremen, ! J =e oe Se e The State Ticket EI ocr look upon your magnificent features. |. Frank M. Willlama, Engineer Why do you doubt me?

It would seem like madness for these British ships to leave this haven of refuge and it is likely that they will be dismantled and interned unless a superior British and Japanese fleet should make its appearance and go to their rescue. Admiral von Spee, in his official report of the battle which took place ste Sunday afternoon off the Chilean island of St. Maria, says the action: Jasted only an hour, being discontinued at nightfall when the British were forced to give way. “The Good Hope,” he says, “was then so badly damaged that she was unable to resist and could only make her escape protected by the darkness. “The Monmouth, under identical conditions, tried to escape, but was followed by a small cruiser and was sunk with a few shots. Owing to the burricane that was blowing no boats could be lowered, and consequently there was a terrible loss of life.” The German Admiral, in noting the escape of the Glasgow and the Otranto, says it was due to their speed and the darkness. Details of the fight, picked up from informal conversations with Ger- man officers who came ashore from the warships, show that the Germans, owing to the superior range of the guns on the armored cruisers Scharn- hoget and Gneisenau, opened fire when six miles away. As the ships closed and the range came down to a distance of four miles, the British ships Were able to reply, but by that time they were already seriously damaged. | portunity to take a hand in the game, started for the scene.

The Germans declare that the British fought heroically but that their aritiiery was ineffective against the superior weight of metal that the Germans were able to pour from the more modern guns of the armored @ruisers. It is stated that the light German crufsers pluckily closed in on “The fight was so close to the shore that some of the shells dropped within a mile of the beach, one exploding within a few hundred yards of the British and took part in the battle. One of them, it appears from the offcial report, gave the Monmouth her death blow as, crippled and in flames, the tried to escape. ‘The Germans placed their losses at only balf a dozen men wounded, WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 [Associated Press].—American Minister Fjat- cher at Santiago, Chile, to-day reported the German naval victory off Cor- onel, Chile, and the arrival of three German warships at Valparaiso. ; The damaged Good Hope is reported as having escaped with the Glas gow and Otranto, The German admiral in his report said the Good Hope, ‘was on fire and he believed she had sunk. Mr, Erckert, German Minister at Valpariso, in his despatch sald: “The German cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Nurnberg entered Val- paraiso to-day in perfect condition. They had, together with a fourth cruis- @r, an engagement off Coronel on Sunday against four English cruisers. The Monmounth was sunk by shells. The Good Hope was badly damaged and probably also sunk. The Otranto and Bristol escaped. On our side there were three wounded. No damage to our ships.” Two British Ships Sunk By Germans Off British Coast LONDON, Nov. 4 (Associated Press.—Four battleships and four cruisers is the latest estimate for the units which participated in the raid| of the Germans in the North Sea, but no accurate information is available. | Preparations have been made by the British Admiralty to meet any future raid. Troops at Yarmouth are stationed along the roads leading from the shore to the town ready for the contingercy of any Germans setting foot on English soil. ’ LONDON, Nov. 4 (United Press).—It developed to-day that the engage- ent yesterday, wien the submarine D-5 was sunk, was of much greater nitude than at first appeared. A fleet of mine-layers was at work when it was surprised by a German squadron, and the Fraternal was sunk and the Copidus badly damaged. ’ The torpedo gunboat Halcyon engaged the Germans. They managed to hit the gunboat several times, although the damage was comparatively small. ‘The German raiders were apparently en route to bombard the British coast when they encountered the British vessels and were forced to fight.
