BRITISH LOSSES ARE MINOR Aircraft 'locate Vessel Hidden by Heavy Forest and Warships Then Attack, and, After Sharp En v gagement, Win Issue. LONDON", July 12. The Admiralty announces that the German cruiser Konigsbers, which in the Fall of last year took refuge from, the British fleet In the Itufiji River in German East Africa, has been totally wrecked by British river monitors. The British casualties were four men killed and six wounded. Vessel Protected Cruiser. Tha Konigsberg, a vessel of 3348 tons, had a speed of 23 knots. She was a protected cruiser. The announcement of the Admiralty follows: "Since "be end of last Octo ber the Konigsberg had been shelter ing some distance up the Ruflji River in a position which rendered attack against hermost difficult, only shal low draft ships being able to get suf ficiently close to enrage the cruiser effectively. "Two months ago the Admiralty de cided to send two river monitors, namely, the Zvern, Captain Kric Kul lerton, and the Mersey, commander Robert A. Wilson, to assist the com mand er-in -chip t of the Cape station. vice-Admiral H. King Hall, in these operations. "The position of the Konlsberg was accurately located by aircraft, and as soon as the monitors were ready, the operations were begun. On the morn ins; of July 4 the monitors entered the river and opened fire, to which the Konigsberg replied Immediately, firing saJvos with five guns with accuracy and rapidity. The Mersey was hit twice and four men killed and four wounded by one shell. As the Konigs berg was surrounded by a Jungle, the aeroplanes experienced great difficulty In locating the fall of our shot. She was, hit five times early In the action, but after the monitors had fired for six hours, the aeroplanes reported that the Koenlgaberg's masts were still standing. Flame Presage Destruction. "A salvo then burst on her and she caught fire heavily between her masts. ?h continued to fire heavily one gun In termlttently for a while, but for the last part of the engagement she did not fire at all. either on account of lack of ammunition or the disablement of her guns. Although not totally des troyed as a result of this engagement. she probably was Incapacitated. "Tho commander-in-chief reports that the task of the monitors was an ex tremely difficult one. on account of the Jungle and the trouble of, accurate ly spotting shots, but that they were assisted by H. M. S. "Weymouth. Cap tain Donls Crampton. on which ship the commander-in-chief flew his flag and. which followed them across the bar of the river and engaged the small guns on the banks, while H. M. S. Pioneer, Acting Commander T. W. Blddle. Royal Australian navy, en- 4?aged the guns at the mouth of the river. "To complete the destruction of the Konigsberg. the commander-in-chief ordered a further attack on July 11 and a telegram now has been received -" stating that the ship is a total wreck. In this last engagement our casualties were only two men wounded on the Mersey." apparently unperturbed, "they sold me the stock for more money than they sold it to others." Mr. McHenry then had Mr. Salaberry Identify letters he had written to Bon newell. and Bonnewell's replies, and in troduced them In evidence. He also brought out that the words "personal stock" were written on Salaberry'a re ceipt from Bonnewell. and that the word "agent" was scratched out. The defense contends that the stock Bonne well sold to Salaberry at 120 a share was a legitimate transaction In private stock, and was so represented to Sala berry, while the Government in this Instance says Bonnewell was acting as agent for the company. "Did you notice that the word 'asent was scratched out?" asked Mr. Mc Henry. "No, I didn't notice it. He said he was the agent," was Mr. Salaberry's reply. "I'm not asking you what he said, but If you noticed It was scratched out?" Mr. Salaberry said be did not remember. Insolvency la Denied. One of the letters from Mr. Salaberry to Bonnewell introduced by Mr. Mc Henry said that he had deloyed pay ment on a note due on stock because he read in the papers that the Cashier Company was "broke" and In receiver's hands. In reply, Bonnewell told him: "You can rest assured that what you have read in the papers amounts to nothing." and promiced full particulars. In another letter from Terra Haute. Ind., where the United States Cashier Company's equipment had been trans ferred to the International Coin Ma chine Company, Bonnewell explained that the injunction had been dissolved and the case dismissed, and Invited him to come down to Terra Haute at any time to learn the facts. "We will pay your expense, railroad fare and every thing," said Bonnewell. Mr. McHenry got the admission from Mr Salaberry that he bought his first block of stock on the advice of a Mr. Arnett in his bank. Arnett having eaid e was going to buy.

The Germans attacked In great force with quick rlrers and rifles. but withdrew at nightfall after a buttle sating two hours. Our men defending he position numbered 137. Including five officers. One officer and 27 men were wounded. The following day. despite a well directed fire from our main positions. the Germans again attacked in large numbers, advancing In columns of four. The situation now began to look criti cal, but at the crucial moment a bail of shrapnel from our 75's decimated one advancing column. The edge of the wood out of which the column advanced was piled high with German bodies, and the remainder of the force scattered in flight. Isolated Cempany Calls fer II rip. In the afternoon the Germans again prepared for an attack, but the attempt was frustrated by our Infantry fire.

Kami Ilea Torn Apart Again, a Belgian woman came Into town a few days ago upon a matter of business. She waa visiting In Ghent when the Germans came; but she lived In Brussels. Like so many other peo ple, she believed tbst the Germans ould never try to occupy Brussels. but would push Into France by the eastern route. When she woke up It too late. The Germans took Ghent. they took Ostend: she fled before them Into Kngland. Her parents and her sisters are still In Brussels, and she has had no word. She has accounted for only one brother, and he la fighting on the leer with the Belgian army. These are but commonplaces of life by the lines nowadays. I met a Belgian officer the other day whose story Is a little peculiar among these tales of separation. He lives, or did live. In Aptwery. Before the war he waa worth a matter of 1300.000 or S400.000. Probably Just at present he Is not worth a cent. When the war came his regiment was sent to stop the German machine at Liege. When the Helgtana fall back his regi ment waa not among those which de fended Antwerp they were told oft to harass th German advance through Southern Flanders. Antwerp fell, and naturally he was niloui about his wife snd his three young children, lie received news at last that Just before the fall of the city she had taken the children and gone to Ostend. then free from Germans, with the intention of sailing for Kngland.

Everyone knows that all the belllg. erent nations are employing spies. Probably the secret service systems or the allied nations are woraing very well. In fact. 1 myself have onservea seuuences of events wnicn wouiu poim to that conclusion. But uermany naa before the war n system of espionsge far larger and more elaborate than that of the Allies, and there la good reason to believe that as a part of her thorough war preparation she planted spies In advance. Some of the things which have happened can be explained on no other theory. Along the line, at least from Arras west, the system Is apparently working so well that the Germans ran afford to make a. Joke of It- The Allies do twit keep men steadily In the trenches. The detachments "work" for about three days, when they are relieved by re serves from the rest stations. The transfer of men la usually made by night. Now when a detachment from a new battalion takes Its turn in the trenches, the Germans will call across within half an hour of the transfer: "Hello, Chubbahlre!" or "Hello. Guards!" This happens not occasionally, but contin illy. There are a good many theories to account for this puzzling thoroughness of the German Information. The mos common one Is probably nearest th truth. It Is that the Germane have fo years been settling in Northern France secret agents who pnss as "emlgree from other parts of France, and who have settled down and become a part of the communities In which they live.
