NO TRACE OF THE VICTIMS FOUND AFTER EXPLOSION LONDON, June 6.—It is announced by the Admiralty that Lord Kitchener, British Minister of War, and almost his entire staff were killed jon board the British cruiser Hampshire, which has been sunk by a tor- nd. pedo or mine off the Orkney Islands, on the northern coast of Scot! There was great loss of life among the officers and crew of the warship. The Admiralty’s statement indicated that the Hampshire was torpedoed. The official announcement follows: “I have to report with deep regret that His Majesty's ship Mampshire, Capt. Herbert J. Savill, R. N. with Lord Kitchener and his staff on board, was sunk last night at about 5 o’cluck, to the west of the Orkneys, elther by a mine or a torpedo. “Four hoats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind was north-northwest and heavy seas were ran- ning. Patrol vessels and destroyers at once proceeded to the spot, and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some hodies and a capsized boat have been found up to the present, As the whole shore has heen searched from the seaward, 0 ereatiy fear that there is Httle hope of there being any survivor, “No report has yet been received from the search party on shore, H. M.S. Hampshire was on her way to Russia.” Accompanying Eart Kitchener as his staff were Hugh James O'Beirne, former Chancellor of the British Embassy at Petrograd and former Minister at Sofia; O, A. Fitzgerald, Earl Kitchener’s Private Mili- tary Secretary; Brigadier General Ellershaw and Sir Frederick Donaldson Sir William Robertson teak over the War Secretary's duties tem- |porarily when Earl Kitchener started on his fIl-fated journey.

For this reason it is ' [Lloyd George, Minister of M believed Lord Kitchener with his staff went to the Orkney Islands for the | purpose of reviewing the battle fleet before proceeding to Russia for a conference with high officials concerning the conduct of the war. Such a conference would have been of special signiticance in view of the general Russian offensive which is now under way along the 250-mile front trom Pruth to Kolki Naval olficers express the opinion that the cruiser Hampshire mi have struck a mine, as it would have to be an exceedingly lucky shot pedo to “get” a ship with her speed and under the con sea, which was very rough, is tition. The Hampshire, w! an old boat and not fit for fleet action, wa fast enough for patrol and blockade work. She carried a crew of be- tween 400 and 500 men.
