The British battleship Majestic,
another of the ships supporting the
allied army on the Gallipoli penln-
8Ulg,„ was sunk by a German sub
marine Thursday. Nearly all the of
ficers and crew were saved.
At about the same time the steam
er Princess Irene, built last year for
the Canadian Pacific-Britlsh Colum-
' bla coast survey, and which was
taken over by the admiralty at the
commencement of the war was de
stroyed by an accidental explosion
while at anchor at ^heerness, where
she was undergoing repairs. All her
crew, nhifiberlng about two hundred
and fifty, except one seaman, and
seventy-eight dockyard workmen
aboard at the time, lost their lives.
The Majestic, which was the old
est battleship on the active list of the
British navy, is the sixth capital ship
lost by the allies since the beginning
of the Dardanelles operations, and
the second which has fallen a victim
to German submarines which recent
ly arrived in those waters.
The sinking of the Majestic makes
the fifth British battleship lost in the
Dardanelles campaign, and the third
by a hostile submarine, the Triumph
having been sent to the bottom in the
Gulf of Saros last Wednesday andjhe
Goliath a few days before. The
French also have lost one battleship
in the Turkish campaign—the Hou
vet.
The submarine menace is a grow
ing one, boDT fir -Hre-Aegean- Sea and
home waters, and these vessels prom
ise to take ah active part in the oper
ations in the narrow waters of tho
Adriatic, where as In the Aegean.
Islands afford good shelter.
While the warships axe able to
escape submarines in the waters
around the British Isles, the Increase,
in their numbers makes the carrying
on of sea-borne trade more and more
hasardous.
The admiralty still believes that
the American steamer Nebraskan,
now on her way to Liverpool, was
torpedoed. The British steamer Mor-
wenna, bound for Lanada, and the
Danish steamer Betty have been
sunk by submarlneaa Only a few
days ago the commander of sub
marine informed a Danish captain
that hs had no orders to sink Danish
OFFER W SETTLE CLAIMS;
‘ ENGLAND IS READY TO PAY
Informs Cotton Representatives That
Money is Ayallable for Bov-
euteen Shipments.
The British foreign office announc
ed Thursday night that government
that it was ready and anxious to
make payment at oucj. The represen
tative. however, admitted his inabil
ity at present to make, any definite
claim in respect of any one of the
cargoes on these vessels, but he has
undertaken to obtain the necessary
Information in Ofder to present his
claim as soon as possible.
The representative of the shippers
of cotton on another vessel has been
similary informed of 5 the govern
ment’s readiness to make immediate
settlement, but he al»o acknowledged
he was not present in a position to
put forward his claim. Cargoes on
six other vessels are being dealt with
similarly.
"Whilst most anxious to satisfy
ail claims as promptly as possible,"
says the statement Issued by the for
eign office, “it is obvious that the
process of arriving at speedy settle
ment is delayed by the necessity of
establishing the real ownership of
each consignment, and of ascertain
ing whether it has passed from the
shipper to the consignee and who is
the right person to receive the pay
ment. The question is complicated
by the fact that Swedish consignees
of a number of cargoes have insti
tuted proceedings here with the view
of preventing the purchase by the
government from American shippers
of cargoes, which, it is alleged, al
ready have been bought and paid for
by these Swedish consignees.”

poriant fighting. There the Ger
mans continue to batter at- the Rus
sian lines northeast and southeast of
Prsemyel, and, according to reports
whleh have not been confirmed by of
flctal statements, they have severed
communications between the former
Austrian fortress and Lemberg.
If these reports are true Przemysl,
which less than three months ago
was taken by the Russians after
long siege, again is surrounded. It
would appear, however, that while
the Teutonic allies are pressing hard
on the fortress they have not yet
forged the circle, the completion of
which is being stubbornly opposed by
the Russians
The Germans have forced another
crossing of the San river eleven
miles north of Przemysi, and have
extended by several miles the zone
held by them east of the San. To
the southeast they also claim to have'
broken the Russian lines and to have
taken some Important positions.
DeshRo all these claims, Petrogn.d
announces with the greatest optimism
the belief that the Russian reinforce
ments will stem the Austro-German
onslaught.
In the west the French and Brit
ish report further advances, which
are generally denied by the Germans.
The latter, who themselves have
made another air raid on Southeand,
make no reference to the French
statement that eighteen French air
men flew over Ludwigshafen, and,
dropping bombs, set fire to a chehjical
works.
The allies report continued pro-,
gress against the Turks on the Galli
poll peninsula. During the armistice
which the Turks asked for, they
buried many more than three thou
sand dead while the British gather
ed no less than twelve thousand
Turkish rifles—proof that the Tur^
ish losses have been extremely heavy.
These losses were sustained in ter
rific counter-attacks delivered
against the positions which the allies
had strongly fortified. The Turks
came under the fire' of the ships at
the time.
The repulse of these counter-at
tacks, and Rie carrying out of at
tacks by the allies themselves have
resulted In considerable losses on the
allied side. .
The’ Italians continue their offen

MISSIONARIES RELIEVED
The American steamer Nebraskan,
which was disabled Tuesday night by
an explosion off the coast of Ireland,
arrived at Liverpool Friday shortly
before midnight. The captain said:
“I saw no submarine, but am cer
tain it was a torpedo which hit us.”
"Moreover a, submarine could not
have failed to see our name and na
tionality, which was outlined in huge
letters on our sides.”
Members of the crew of the Nebras
kan were agreed that the explosion
was caused by a torpedo. The for
ward part ot the ship is wrecked
Lieut. Powers, the attache, was ac
companied to Liverpool by Naval
Constructor McHrlde, who is expect
ed to make an examination with the
hope of ascertaining definitely
whether the Nebraskan was damaged
by mine or torpedo.
The captain’s affidavit will be for
warded to the state department as
soon as Lieut. Powers reaches Lon
don, tmt any decision as to actiofl by
the American government probably
will be delayed until the construc
tor’s report is received

In his first report to Consul Gen
eral Skinner, at London, by tele

either struck a mine or was torpe

sages from Ambassador Page and
Consul General Skinner In Londop
and a statement from Capt. Green of
the American steamer Nebraskan,

available It has been impossible to
determine whether the explosion on
the steamer Neuraskan Thursday was
caused by mine or torpedo
- Many officials are Incttbed to be

Naval Officials say the upward explo
sion as described by Ckpt. .Green is
of a character more likely to have
been caused by a mine than a tor
pedo.
Ambassador Page cabled the state
department that Capt. Green had
given the naval attache of the em
bassy a sworn statement at Liverpool
concerning the explosion on his ship
off the Irish coast Tuesday and that
the attache was returning to London.

which has never been fixed.
There is no international conven

Count von Bernstorff the German

that mines laid by Germany become

the United States similar assurances.

DANIELS TO INVESTIGATE
SHOWING OF SUBMARINES
Growing Importance of Such Craft
Too Much Attention to Fit
ness Can Nt be Given.
While unofficial reports indicating
that twelve of the submarines assign
ed to participate in the war game
with the Atlantic fleet were at least
partially ineffective, Secretary Dan
iels announced his determination to
make a thorough investigation to find
the cause of and, if possible, a remedy
for the too frequent breakdowns of
the navy’s underwater craft.
“With the growing importance of
the submarine as an instrument of
warfare," said the secretary* "I feel
that too much attention can not be
paid to this branch qf the service.
"What I am most interested in is
In finding out whether these break
downs were such as must be expected
in more or less experimental boats,
or whether they were due to faults
of construction that should have been
remedies or tiFfiefects in onr system
of reporting and repairing. — J -
; “In the meantime the plans for
the twenty-six new submarinee au
thorized by the Sixty-third congress
are being pushed with all possible
speed; Bids will be invited for their
actual construction next wee]k'. These
boats include two more of the new
sen-going submarines, which we are
going to try to make the last word-
in such craft." • >. •

in lah, Persia, has been occupied by
the - uskl&ns after an engagement
with the Turks in the direction of
Dilman and near Bakkala, according
to a statement issued by the general
staff of the army of/the Caucasus.
Urumlah is in Azerbaijan province,
with a population of about fifty thou
sand, is a center of missionary activ
ity. It is the scat of Fike seminary
for girls and of Urumlah college. For
weeks * the missionaries stationed
there, as well s many thousands of
Assyrian Christians, have been in
danger from attack by Kurds and
Turks.
Between fifteen and seventeen
thousand natives are reported to have
placed themselves under the protec
tion of Dr. Harry P. Packard of the
American Presbyterian mission at
lease twelve thousand have taken
refuge in the Caucasus, and it has
been estimated that twenty thousand
are de. d or missing.
The entire Urumiah district has
been terrorized by wandering bands
of Kurds and by Turkish regulars.
Appeals have been made to the
American state department to take
measures for the protection of Ameri
can missionaries and the Russian gov
ernment has been urged to make
every effort possible to occupy the
district. v •
There have been many reports <jf
atrocities and the wholesale slaugn?
ter of the natives. The Christians
have resisted as vigorously as pos
sible the attacks of Kurds, but have
been handicapped by a lack of guns
and ammunition.

Ijondon reports Friday. Przemysl.
garrisoned now by Russians, once
more is threatened with Investment.
Just as the Russians, after sur
rounding Przemysl and starving out
its Austrian (defenders, forced the
surrender of the fortress late in
March, so Austro-German troops who
have driven a wedge through central
Galicia, now are attempting a double
flanking movement and with an at
tack growing in intensity, are seek
ing to encircle Pr/emysl from the
north and the southeast
Vienna declares progress is tteinp
made in both directions and If the
advance is not cheeked Przemysl will
be isolated from the rest of ths Rus
sian army or the Russian troops
which fell back to the San will be
forced Into further retreat.
This situatlo in Gallcim is of great
strategic importance, and even the
British press concedes the position of
Przemysl Is serious. It is described
ss the key to the whole Russian posi
tion in Galicia, and its fall would
mean that the railroad running east
ward to Lemberg, the main artery of
the Russian supplies in this region,
would fall Into Austrian hands. Re
ports that this railroad line already
has been severed were without Con
firmation.
BERLIN CLAIMS VICTORY;
21,000 RUSSIANS CAPTURED
Decisive Defeat Administered to the
Russians Operating Towards
the North of Przemysl.
Berlin, May 25.—The operations
around north Przemysl, where the
Teutonic forces have been battling
for several days in an effort to de
feat the Russian army there, so as
to decrease the pressure which the
Slavic hosts were bringing to bear
upon the Austro-Hungarian troops
which had crossed the San, has re
sulted in a decisive defeat for the
Russians.
The victorious Germans have cap
tured over twenty-one thousand Rus
sian prisoners and a great quantity
of ammunition and stores which
can not yet be estimated. Several
villages changed hands in the course
of the battle and the Germans have
made good progress. V
