to justify extraordinary action. It is
for that reason that I venture.to ask
you to depart in this case from the
usual practice of your department.
"It occurs to me that the fnn con

JAPANESE CAPTURE
GERMAN CRUISER
Taken by Japanese Squadron
Cruising Along the Coast of
Peru.
(By Attona ted Pre.?.)
LIMA. Peru, Nov. 7.-It is reported
here that a Japanese squadron cruis
ing along the. coast of Peru has cap
tured the German cruisers Scharn
horst and Gneise nan.
Vague rumors of the capture of the
cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
bav? been persistent since October 31,
when a dispatch to London from Syd
ney, N. ?. W., said they had been taken
after failure of weir coal supply.
A Toldo rumor Friday fixed the
date of Ute alleged capture aa Oct
ober 31 but tailed to designate the
place.
This obviously was wrong as the en
gagement In which ute British squad
ron - waa .??efeated and in which the
Gneisenau and Scharnhorst took part
was fought the following day. .The
last tidings of the cruiser wad that
after 'coaling at Valparaiso they put
to sea last Wednesday.
The present report in circulation
in Lima may be a result of numerous
inquiries sent to Booth Pacific porta
asking Information aa to the reported
captura of the vessels. A Callao
Idlspltch received shortly before the
jone, ?rum Lima made no mention of
?the reported taking of the German
cruisers by tbs Japanese. Callao is
the principal seaport of Peru and
probably would be better Informed ss
to movements oil Ute coast than Lima,
which is inland.

British and Japanese admlralittea ever
