tailed description of a naval battle of
Grenada. British West Indies. Is Riven
in a letter received here today from an

marked "H. M. S. Karlsruhe." together
with wreckage and barrels and food
stuffs He further writes that fisher
men had brought the news that they

Klaratlaa; Seea bat t Heard.
The letter was made nubile by the
Montreal Gazette and was received by
. member of the Gazette staff from one
of his friends at Grenada. The letter
avs:
hii t mv hmiM on m ridge over-
inAhmiT t,e north of Grenada. I
witnessed a naval engagement which
was undoubtedly carried on between
more than two warships. The action
lated as far as I observed from 7
o'clock I M. to 11 P. M. As the dark
ness Increased, it was quite apparent
when broadsides of projectiles explod
ed within yeconds of each other on
cither side, within a range of four to
six miles. I did not hear the explosion
of the shells, as the fight was too far
away. Nobody in St. Patrick- ap
red to have noticed what had hap
pened. Whether the government knew
of the engagement or not, they certain
ly censored all news as regards it.
Bodies Found by Fiahermea.
"Six dais afterwards I was confirmed
In my opinion by the fact that Sauteura
fishermen fishing In tne carnacon
Channel brought in news that they had
found dead bodies floating in the water,
together with numberless candles,
marked "Kaiser Light' (a sample of
which I send you as a Christmas card),
also boots with feet in them, helmets,
pieces of wreckage, etc.
"On mv portion of an island called
Isle of 'Rhondre a life buoy came
ashore marked "H. M. S. Karlsruhe. and
besides wreckage and barrels of food-
stuffs. I am the lucky possessor of
an officer's sword, which came ashore
wrapped up carefully In oil cloth.
"All this confirms my conviction
that not only did an engagement occur,
but that the dreaded Karlsruhe has
been sunk."
The Karlsruhe last was definitely
heard from October 28. when she cap
tured the Lamport & Holt liner Van
dvek. The Vandyck was the 17th ves
sel that had been caught by the Ger
man cruiser. No vessels, so far as is
known, have been captured by the
Karlsruhe since October 2.
The British Admiralty has made no
announcement concerning the reported
sinking of the Karlsruhe. Heretofore
the Admiralty has been prompt to an
nounce any disaster to German war
ships. CAPTURED BRITON IX SAX J U AX

Thi report, given out to the public Jan

ROME, Jan. 12. "The German denial
that Cardinal Mercier was arrested in
Brussels Is true only in a technical
sense." says the Tribuna in a special
edition. "The Cardinal was not physi

his residence, but he nevertheless was
placed in a state of arrest within his
palace and was watched by the mili

"The German government, realizing
that violence against a prince of the
church would have painful consequence
throughout the world, and also among
the Catholic population of Germany,
and fearing the effect of measures
which might be taken by the Vati
can, decided hurriedly to restore con

(Special.) Although overwhelmingly
defeated at the November election in
Levin and Idaho counties, the proposes
