LONDON, May 10.—The German submarine base of Ostend, the Belgian coast, has been blocked as the result of a new raid | by British naval forces, the Admiralty announces. The obsolete | cruiser Vindictive, filled with concrete, has been sunk across the | entrance to that harbor. As on the former occasion, the operation was under the direction of Admiral Keyes. Some of the men who participated in the affair re- turned to-day. They say it was completely successful. The firing which covered the sinking of the Vindictive began about 1 o'clock this morning and lasted until 3 o'clock. The bombardment was Sub-Lieut.

Almost Con- Following is the text of the announcement made by the Admiralty; “Operations designed to close the ports of Ostend and Zee- brugge were successfully completed last night, when the obsolete cruiser Vindictive was sunk between the piers and across the entrance to Ostend Harbor. “Since the attack on Zeebrugge on April 23 the Vindictive had been filled with concrete and fitted as a block ship for this purpose. “Our ligt forces have returned to their base with the loss of one motor launch, which had been damaged and was sunk by orders of the Vice Admiral to prevent it from falling into th: hands of the enemy.” ; Photographic and other evidence from Zeebrugge show that the Bruges Canal is stifl blocked as a result of the British raid of April 23 and that it cannot be used. The obstructions, it has been found, were better ploced than was at first supposed. German attempts to clear the water- way are meeting with no success, as a result of British air activity and other causes, (The previous raid was conducted simultaneously against Ostend and Zeebrugge. The latter port is believed to have been completely blocked through the sinking of two concrete-filled cruisers in the channels. The Mole also was damaged by the blowing up of an old submarine filled with explosives, and through the planting of bombs by a boarding party. {Both Ostend and Zeebrugge are connected with Bruge: cipal German submarine base in Belgium, by canals.
