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.
"You wouldn't pay out 13000 for
tock after talking IS minutes?"
ueried McHenry.
No." said the witness.

The following day. despite a well

the Germans again attacked in large

The situation now began to look criti

wood out of which the column advanced
was piled high with German bodies, and
the remainder of the force scattered in

In the afternoon the Germans again

During the night the captain told off

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.
Then Ostend fall. Thay had frlenda In
Kngland. He felt sure that she would
report to them. He managed to get a
short leave of absence for the purpose
of looking for her. He crossed to Lng-
and.
Fat Takes Uorer Tarns.
She had come and gone. A fishing
boat. hlch beat about the rnannm tor
four' days on conliary winds, had car
ried her and the children out But whan
she reached Kngland she received false
Information to the effect that na waa
tinned at Havre, r ranee, to wnicn
the Belgian government naa trans
ferred ltlf. She had promptly aalled
to find him they had crossed on inn
l-tniriinh Channel. 4
At that very time came tne oerman
rtrlva toward Calais and the prepara-
wss tlon for the Belgian resistance on the
men Yser. He received a leienram vi-ui
him to reioin his regiment at once.
Consequently he could not follow her
m Havre. He has been naming r"r
since, and he has not seen her yet: but
ha has the consolation of her letters
and of the tact that she Is safe.
Genaas Salem at Week.
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.
