BURNED AFTER BATTLE
Entrapped in Arm of Sea by Blocking
of Channel?Terror to British
Brought to an End.
London, Noaw 10.?-It was officially j
announced in London today that the |
' German cruiser Emden has been j
driven ashore and burned.
The losses among the officers and
crew of the Emden are reported to
have been very heavy.
The Emden was destroyed by t&e
Australian cruiser Sydney. She was
driven ashore on an island of the Cocoos,
of Keeling group, southwest of
Java, in tfce Indian ocean.
The Sydney sighted the Emden yesterdav
morning:. With superior speed
she at once closed in and gave battle.
The German boat could not escape.
There was a running fight, at the end
o' which the Emden, burning from
the sfcells of the Australian boat, was
beached.
The casualties on the Sydney are
said to have been slight.
j The German cruiser Koemgsberg,
which disabled the British cruiser
Pegasus some weeks ago. has been
bottled up at Mafia island, on the coast
of German East Africa, by the blocking
of the channel to the harbor.
The admiralty statement, wfcich announces
the destruction of the Emden,
in the Indian ocean, and t?be bottling
up of the Koenigsberg on the
east coast oif Africa reads in part as
iouows:
"After the whereabouts of the
Koenigsberg had been indicated by the
the attack on the Pegasus on September
19, a concentration of fast cruisers
was arranged by the admiralty in
East African waters and a thorough
and a prolonged search by these vessels
in combination was made.
1 "This search resulted, October 20, in
the Koenigsberg's being discovered by
H. M. S. Obati.am, Capt. Sidney R.
Drury-Lowe, hiding in shoal water
about six miles up the Rufiji river, opposite
Mafia island, German East Africa.
Owing to a greater draught the
Chatham could not reach the Koengisberg,
woich probably is aground except
at highwater. Part of the crew
o: the Koenigsberg has been landed
and is intrenched on the banks of tl.e
river.
? "Both these intrenchments and the
" Koenigsherg herself have been bombarded
by the Chatham, but owing to
the dense palm groves amiid which the
^ ship lies, it is not possible to estimate
the damage done. Pending operations
for her capture or destruction, effective
steps have been taken to
block ti:e Koenigsberg by sinking
colliers in the only navigable channel
to the river and she now is imprisoned
and unable to do any further
xiarm. ine iastesi vessels ua vc ucw
searching for her.
"Another large combined operation
by fast cruisers against the German
cruiser Emden has been in progress.
In this search which covered an immense
are the Brit is': cruisers Cave
been aided by French, Russian and
Japanese vessels working in harmony, j
The Australian warships Melbourne
and Sydney also were included in
these movements.
"Yesterday morning news was received
that iho Envden. w'.ich had
r
been completely last to sight after her
action with the cruiser Jemtchung. had
arrived at Keeling or Cocos island and
landed an armed party to destroy the
wireless station. Here si." e was caught
and forced to fight by ti'.ie Australian
cruiser Sydney, Capt John Glossop. A
sharp action took place in which the
Sydney suffered the loss of t'.:ree men
nnr? i" wrmmlptf The> Emden

was driven ashore and burned. Her
losses in personnel are reported as
heavy. All assistance is now being I
given to the survivors by the various j
ships which have been dispatched to
t. e scene.
" the exception of German j
sq.iardon now off the coast of Chile. j
the whole of the Pacific and Indian !
oceans are now clear of ti'. e enemy's |

first lord of the admiralty, J

the following message to the Sydney
and to the navy board of Australian
commonwealth:

brilliant entry of the Austra*ian navy j

The State, lltih.
Taking the position that the gen- |
eral assembly did not make provision j
for meeting the appropriation of $15,- j
000 contained in the cotton warehouse
bill, S. T. Carter, State treasurer, yesterday
refused to honor a warrant j
presented by John L. McLaurin, State
warehouse commissioner. Mr. Car- |
ter ruled that there were not funds in
the treasury to meet the demand. He
said that the money would be paid
out olf the general State fund, if an
opinion authorizing the step should
be given by the attorney general. After

statement.
A. W. Jones, comptroller general,
took the position that tnere was $17,500
unexpected balance in ti:.e State
treasury. An opinion by the attorney
general held that the unexpended balance
would be available for the operation
of the State warehouse system.
Mr. Carter said that he knew of no
such balance in the State treasury as j
that referred to by the comptroller
general.
The attorney general will te asked j
\
to decide whether the State treasurer j
i
has tee rig'it to pay out for the I
maintenance of the cotton warehouse i
system money borrowed for the general
expense of the State government.
Warrant is Rejected.
Yesterday Commissioner McLaurin
gave out fche following statement:
4<Ie presented a warran t to the
comptroller general this morning for
$12.10, with an itemized statement
as required by law, for expenses incurred
in putting into operation the
State warehouse system, and the
comprroller general drew his warrant
upon the State treasury. State
Treasurer Carter refused tc pay the
warrant, upon the ground that there
was no money in ti:e State treasury,
comptroller general drew his warme
that there was an unexpended
balance oif $17,500 in the State treas- j
urv, which could be used for the pay- j
ment of tee expenses of the commis- :
sion. Mr. Carter denies that/this sum !
is in the treasury. The legislature 1
which convened last January author- j
ied under the act, the governor!1
State treasurer and comptroller gen- <
eral to borrow $500,000 to meet the
amounts appropriated by the legisla- (
ture. Comptroller General Jones says ;
ti:.at this money\can be used to pay ;
the expenses of the State warehouse
system to ttie extent of $15,000, the ,
amount appropriated by the act. 1
'ffrie following is a certificate from
the comptroller general's office:
'"Nov. 10, 1914. I
" 'This is to certify that the statement
of State treasurer made to this ;

"I do not know that any more care- !

ful man than /Mr. Jones has ever been j
comptroller general of Soutu Carolina
and I am unable to see by what authority
the Slate treasurer refuses to
honor a warrant from t>:.e comptroller
general.
"I have been endeavoring, witih the J
very small appropriation, to get this !
system in operation. I have been pay- ,
ing the expenses out of my pocket. !
If Mr. Carter assumes the responsi- j
bility o? shutting off this avenue of
relief trv tbp npnnlp I can not heln it. i
j
It is certainly a :very grave responsibility,
in the face of the warrant of
the comptroller general and ti e opinion
of the attorney general, which I
"erewith make public, calling special
attention to the following excerpt
from said opinion: 'And t^at if there
are ;iny funds on hand whatsoever in

able, those funds should be paid out '
by the State treasurer upon proper
warrants drawn by the comptro'ler j

"I am making this statement so '
that the public may understand some
of the difficulties w hi eft I am experiencing
in getting this system into
