Kio de Janeiro, Jan. 9. -The swift rn.an cruiser Von der Tann has 3ll sunk in hattie with the British tie cruiser Invincible off Pernam -o, according to a wireless dispatch eived here to-night. According to e latest reports received here, the . man vessel was lost with all on rd. The Invincible was undatu id and has reached port. Previous to the receipt of the wlre s dispatch a report was received <? that both the Von der Tann and i Invincible had been sunk. A reles8 dispatch to the Brazilian rem men t received here later, sai 1 t the Von der Tann had been sunk, t that the Invincible was still oat. No mention was made in the vernmenl dispatch regarding any ts of life on board the Invincible. ie Brazilian government has re ived no further details of the bat Kc|H>rt from Xew York. New York. .lan. !'.-A rumor ached this city to-night that there id been a battle off the South merican coast between the German ul British battle cruisers Von de ann and Invincible, in which tho >rmer was sunk. The Von dei Tann was reported rj cent ly to have broken through the North Sea cordon and to have headed or Atlantic waters to enter on a .meer as a raider of the coast. No .Marked ('hang?' in Situation. London. Jan. 11.-Only a change n the weather or entra?e?1 into the war of Itoumania or Italy, or both, is likely to bring about any marked Chain:? in the military situation in Europe for some time to come. Thc belief is growing in countries allied against Germany, Austria and Tnrkpv that Rou man in wi tn her i Hungary through Bukowina. Taking into consideration the Ser vians and Montenegrins, this would form a line menacing Austria- Hun garj along the entire southeastern frontier from Russia to the Adriatic. .lust as rumors persisted for days prior to Turkey s entrance into thc uar. MI rumors now centei about Roumania and Haly. There is n strong feeling among the general public in Krance and langland that definite ac tion will not long be delayed. "Real War" to Begin in May. The British idea that operations il| to the present are only preparatory t< big events Hts in with gossip now heard here to til?' effect that Lon Kitchener, asked concerning tin war's probable duration, said: "I don't know winni it will end but ! do know when it will begin, ant that is in the month of May." Opinion is expressed in some (piar tors, however, thal the inauguratioi of more general movements will hi on an earlier date than is generali; expected, although persons in dosi touch with the army believe the rea ensis will not ho ranched until sum me r. Meanwhile the armies already ii the field In the east and west remali virtually deadlocked. in Alsace tin French continu:', by sapping ant sporadic charges, attempts to foret their way nearer the Rhine, hut ucl thor side claims any new progress The Germans threw heavy reinforce incuts into Alsace after the recen French advance, and apparently tho; have held their ground, in view o the failure of tho French to consol! date positions they took after mud lia rd lighting. With a comparative lull in th! quarter and artillery duels p rodoni i nating near the Belgian coast, light lng of a desperate character has brr ken out in the center, notably to th northeast of Soissons, which, ti, rou:; bombardments, seems likely to sui fer Hie fate of Rheims, and fnrthc east, in the vicinity of Berthes an Beausejour, from which points tn allies have been trying to reach th important railway to the north, th seizure of which would cut one t tho German main arteries of eenuin nicatlon. Official communications do nt agree as to Ibo outcome of ?he recei fighting in thoo arras. The allh I a i ni to have forged ahead from S< ssons: the (lennans say these a ft ck s have ROI been fruitful, and th; <?'>"...oceodlng. The allies contend that they have advanced north of Perthes and still hold the ground at Beausejour to the north and east. The Germana make no mention of lighting north of Per thes, hut 'iiaiiuaui that they have advanced <yisi of the village. The lighting in the vicinity of Beausejour, | which the allies consider so import- 1 ant, they ignore. Kasteni Si Dilution Unchanged. Neither East Prussia nor Poland furnish any change m the general sit uation, and, strangely, lue Russians have added little with reference to the expected invasion of Hungary by way ot Bukowina, although more than a week ago they claimed to be at the threshold. lt is conceded, however, that virtually the whole ot Bukowina is in Russian hands, and dispatches reaching Condon from Bucharest say that thousands of lu gitives from that territory are cross ing the Roumanian frontier, some of them proceeding to Vienna. lt is in the developments arising Hom the occupation of Bukowina that interest is now centered, as it is be lieved to have an immediate bearing on tlie Roumanian situation. British military experts, conceding there is a virtual deadlock elsewhere, are marking; time, pending the crisis. Little authentic information lias been received regarding the Turkish army in the Caucasus since Russia dealt it such a heavy blow. Italy, according to latest reports, is rush ing troops to lier islands in the Ae gean Sea. off the coast of Asia Minor, so she may be prepared for eventu alities. French Battleship Sunk. Berlin, Jan. ll.-The following statement was given out to-day by the official press bureau: .Vienna reports state that it has been ascertained that the French dreadnaught Courbet was hit by the Austrian submarine No. IL!. The Courbet was rani med by ber sister ship, the .lean Bart, which was at tempting to tow her. The Courbet sank. The .lean Bart docked at Malta." Russians Again on Offensive. London, Jan. 14.-The Russians have again undertaken an offensive movement against two of her three opponents. Forces in the north are attempting to penetrate from three directions into East Prussia, where Cie Russians recently sustained one . ? ! . ? counters. There is little now activity In Ga licia and Bukowina, where Russian activities are directed against Aus tria. Severe weal lier checked rn,li ku y operations there. Developing in WcsU Fighting about Soissons has le \?doped into unexpectedly large pro pel lions. The Germans and allies have apparently thrown in heavy re inforcements. Definite defeat foi either side might result in reshaping the battle line over a long section ol front. The Germans are believed to b< sending moro troops in response l( a movement of England, which it pouring fresh soldiers weekly by Hit thousands.

Buttle Boyal in I landers. London, Jan. 14.-'Like the stub bo rn ly contested battle early in tin war, on which hinged German occu pallon of West Flanders, the ?trug gie for a knoll northeast Of Soissons known as Spur IS2, remained unde citied to-day, according to informa lion reaching London. The Cern?an by counter attacks appear to be ii better position casi w ard of the spin In view af the relatively smal amount of ground gained, losses o both sides have been heavy. The Gei mans show no signs of abandonin their at tempt to retake the hill. I is said Cen. Von Kluek himself i commanding the Connan force.' which il seems, lifts the battle out ei the ordinary run of conflicts alon the western front.

Th battle resulted in elevated groiin wing (band of French, German oil rial statements claim capture of 14 French officers and 1,150 men. Town of Westend Destroyed. Berlin Jan. 14.-Official reports from the western front made public by the war office this afternoon state that tin1 combined fire of the allies' land fores and warships in the har bor lia ve completely destroyed West end. This town is on the coast of tile North Sea between Dixmude and Nieuport. The German forces have been engaged for weeks in attempts to make their way to Hie shore in this direction, and English battle ships have been ott" the harbor only a short distance aiding the land forces in driving the Germans iKick. According to the report the town is completely ruined from artillery fire and shells from the battleships. Many Germans Killed. Paris, Jan. 14.-The Belgians to day dynamited munitions depots in the region of Stuyven Keskaka and killed many Germans. Details of the disaster lia ve not been learned here, but offlcial reports from the Belgian army declare that the home soldiers completely routed the German t roo i >s. r. s. Guardian in Palestine ? London, Jan. 14.-That the Uni ted suites may be called on eventu ally lo exeri iso a suzerainty over Pal estine, if the allies win, is suggested by the Chronicle in an editorial. The paper says thai even if a .lowish State were erected In Jerusalem after the Turks are ousted, some provision would have to be made for a Chris tian guardianship of the Holy Sep ulchre and other sacred places. Mentioning France, Hngland and Hie United sttites, with its great missionary interests, as possible guardians, Hie Chronicle adds: "Thal Palestine should be placed under the guardianship of one of these (towers seems fairly obvious, but the problem of its future will not be an easy one to solve." Germans Kegain Territory. Condon, Jan. 15.-Violent German ?ittacks north of So'ssons under the direction of Gen. Von Kluck, which collided with the flood stage of the river, has forced Hie French hack across the Aisne, ls the most strik ing news of the last 24 hours from the seat of war. The Germans, while gainiug in that locality for several days, bave not recovered all the ground they have lost. The engagement north of . v(, n . ( ?0 flr-ntli ? . . Bri. Ai : tr,; w' I '. ell . ' ? in Flanders still prevent extensive operations on eastern and western wings. British observers think Soissons disten i bas been selected for a poi ii i where, with reinforcements and first line troops the Germans are planning lo display again their hammering tactics so familiar during the au tumn. SOUK- reports, on the other hand, contend operations have been undertaken to compel the allies to lessen the pressure in Alsace. The British claim to have won marked success several days ago near La lla sse e, when they drove Germans from strongly entrenched positions, gaining one mile distance and inflict ing severe losses on the enemy. There has been no Important changes in the east, Italy bas been momentarily distracted from thoughts of war by the earthquake. Assertions are still made lure that the allies confidently expect Italy to jfiin them in due time. Aggresive German Move in Fust. Petrograd, Jan. 15.-The Russian general staff has reached the opinion thai the Connans were preparing for an aggressive movement west and southwest Of Warsaw, and say this is borne out by tlu; fact that the Ger mans removed Hie sick and wounded into Prussia, and changed their am munition bast's. information lias reached here of the arrival ol' large bodies of German troops in Northern Hungary ami their distribution within striking distance of fortified positions cover ing the northern entrances to Hun gary and principal Carpathian passes, which the Russians hold. This is taken to indicate that Hie Germans are reinforcing Hie Austrian troops for a vigorous effort to free Northern Hungary and Bukowina from danger of further Russian advances. The lull about Warsaw ls regarded as preparatory to tho Impending movement. Military officers here think tlie Connan staff is attaching a new i ni pori a nee io Hie Hungarian sit uation.
