Feb. 24 (via Snyville, Fe 25).?An official statement with re erence to the sinking of the l)ut< steamers by a German submarine given out through the medium of tl Overseas News agency as follows"According to telegrams receivi from Holland February 22 at o'clock in the afternoon, sever [Dutch ships were destroyed whic with the agreement of German wanted to leave the barred zone in westward direction from Falmou and Dartmouth. "In answer to this, it is stated authoritative quarters, that after tl declaration of the barred zone, l)ut( ship owners asked the British authu ities to permit 33 steamers lying i Falmodth and Dartmouth, o! whn 20 were loaded \vith grain for ti Dutch government, to proceed out the barred zone, which were st there after tlie expiration of the tin hxed (by Uermauy), February 5. "The German authorities agreed this, making an exception in ordi to let the 2o cargoes of grain reat the Dutch government, but the co dition was added that the ships ougl not to sail later than February 1 11. In this way the ships wou have been able to leave in all safei the barred zone within the extendi time, which was known to all submi rines. "The Dutch ship owners acceptt this offer, but were for some reuse unable to get their ships out of ti English ports within the allotlc time.
