LONDON, June 2. Picking its way
from its base in the Kiel Canal, the
German high-sea fleet Wednesday
afternoon emerged into the North Sea
and,' off the coast of Jutland, engaged
a British fleet throughout the after
noon and night in what probably was
the greatest naval battle in ' the
world's history bo far as tonnageen
gaged and tonnage destroyed was
concerned.
When the battle ended Great
Britain had lost the battle cruisers
Queen Mary, Indefatigable and Invin
cible, the cruisers Defence, Black
Prince and Warrior and eight torpedo
boat destroyers.
Both Sides Admit Losses.
The German battleship Pommern
was sent to the bottom by a torpedo
and the cruiser Wiesbaden sunk by the
British gunfire. In addition several
German torpedo craft are missing and
the small cruiser Frauenlob was seen
badly listing and was believed to have
gone to the bottom.
These losses have all been admitted
by Great Britain and Germany.
Aside from Great Britain's conceded
losses, Germany says that the British
battleship Warspite, sister ship of the
Queen Elizabeth, and one of the larg
est and most powerful ships afloat,
had been sunk; that the battleship
Marlborough, a vessel of 25,000 tons,
had been hit by a torpedo, and a sub
marine had been destroyed.
British Add to Foe's Loss.
Great Britain also added to Ger
many's acknowledged losses with the
claim 'that one dreadnought of the
German Kaiser class vessels of 24,
700 tons and carrying a complement
of 1088 men had been" attacked and
destroyed by British torpedo craft;
that another battleship of the same
class was believed to have been sunk
by gunfire; that one battle cruiser
had been blown up and two others
damaged and that six destroyers and
a submarine also had been sent to the
bottom.
Great Britain's admitted loss in ton
nage was 114,810 for six battle cruis
ers and cruisers. That of Germany,
excluding the tonnage of the Wies
baden, of which vessel there is no
record, was 15,172.
The tonnage of the capital ships
sunk by the Japanese in their fight
with the Russians in the battle of Tsu
shima in May, 1905, "aggregated 93.
000. Twenty-one Russian crafty were
destroyed in this fight, including six
battleships and four cruisers. The re
mainder of the sunken craft comprised
coast defense and special-service ves
sels and torpedo boats.
Heavy Casualties Indicated.
That the casualties in the fighting
off Jutland were heavy is indicated
by the fact that of the crew of some
900 on board the Indefatigable only
two men are known to have been
aved.-
Six Zeppelins participated in the

Government Said to Be Unable to
Cope With Trouble at Pe
troleum Refineries.
CORINTO, Nicaragua, June 2, by
radio to San Diego. CaL A number of
American citizens and British subjects
have been killed at Talara, Peru, by
striking- employes of the London-Pacific
Petroleum Company, accordlngto
an unsigned wireless message from the
steamer Somer to the United States
cruiser Raleigh at this port.
The massacre, according to the
message, occurred - yesterday. The
strikers. It was said, had threatened
to burn the petroleum works and the
Peruvian government was reported un
able to cope with the situation, which
was considered grave. The message
said that communication with Talara
had been interrupted and requested that
the Raleigh proceed there to the relief
of ' foreign residents.
The Raleigh will probably not be
able to respond as. according to the
warship's officers, the vessel Is under
orders to remain here.
Talara is the center of the Peruvian
oil fields and a number ' of large
refineries are located there. Talara Is
500 miles north of Callao.

American Emblem nnd Those of
Other Countries Burned In "Melt

.NEW TORK. June 2. Bouck White,
pastor of the Church of the Social
Revolution, who last night participated
in the burning of the American flag
and other National emblems in the rear
of his 'church, today, was found guilty
by the Court of Special Sessions of
desecrating the American emblem and
was sentenced to 30 days in the peni
tentiary and to pay a fine of S1000.
An American flag and the colors of
many other nations were burned In a
"melting pot." suspended on a tripod in
the yard in the rear ot White's church.
The "ceremony" was conducted by Al
bert Henkel. Introduced as an "artist-"
After the colors had been destroyed.
Henkel unfurled the banner of "inter
national industrialism."
The flag burning was preceded by
services in the church at which one of
the speakers was the Rev. Mercer Green
Johnston, former rector of Trinity
Protestant Episcopal Church at New
ark, N. J., who tried vainly to Induce
White to halt the flag-burning plot.
He then left the church rather than
witness what he characterized as a
"most damnable business."
After a speaker had declared no mo
ment could be "more auspicious for the
merging of all the nations into the
international commonwealth," Helnrlch
Weber, who spoke in German, re
nounced the flag of his fatherland and
cast it into the flames while those who
surrounded him chanted. "If die we
must, we'll die for our God; rise, revo
lutionists!"
Weber was followed by persons who
claimed to be natives of Great Britain.
Russia. Japan, Italy. Sweden, Roumanla
and Greece who cast the colors of their
countries into the "melting pot." Then

flag. -

United States naval attache at London,
recently wrote to relatives In this city
that he was spending some time aboard
the British cruiser Indefatigable, sunk
In the North Sea battle.
This was the last word received here

consequence fears were expressed to
night that he may have been aboard
the vessel at the time of the naval en
gagement. His service at London was
to have expired last Fall, but he was
ordered to continue at the post owing
to tho Navy Department's desire to

wagon Wltn His Delegates.
. Progressives Like Hughes.
BT HARRT J. BROWN.
CHICAGO. Juno 2. (Special.) Jus
tice Hushes, viewed from the Chicago
standpoint, appears just as strong as
when viewed from Washington.
A day devoted to canvassing- the Re
publican situation leads to the conclu
sion that the Hughes movement has not
been checked, but is growing?, notwith
standing it is under fire from three
directions from the "favorite sons."
from the Roosevelt Progressives and
from the old guard.
If there Is any dent In the Hughes
ardor, it is not discernible.
Campaign Manager Worry.
Every effort of the anti-Hughes men
is being directed to eliminate tho Su
preme Court Justice from the running.
As the manager of one of the "favorite
sons" said today: "There is no use do
ing anything until Hughes is eliminat
ed if he can be eliminated." And that
seems to express the innnermost
opinion of the various campaign man
agers. Relatively few delegates have arrived
yet in Chicago. The great influx is
expected Saturday and Sunday. But the
absence of delegates has not deterred
the various and numerous campaign
managers, and claims aro being put out
hourly from the various headquarters.
Talks with Republican leaders, those
who will participate actively In tho
convention, and those who will do their
work on the outside, make it clear that
not one of the "favorite sons" will bo
In a position to "deliver" his strength
to anyone. When the break comes
and it may come as early as the second
ballot, delegates instructed for tho
"favorite sons" will scatter according to
their personal inclinations, and they
will divide on tho main, between
Hughes and Roosevelt.
Caauulns to Swing to Hushes.
Senator Cummins is not yet ir Chi
cago, but it Is the understanding
gained at his headquarters that he
personally will express a preference
for Hughes early in tho contest. What
Is equally if not more Important is the
disclosure that Senator Weeks, while
believing he has a chance for the nomi
nation, realizes that the chance is
slim, and Is now looking with consid
erable favor upon Hughes. In fact, an
intimate friend of the Senator, after
a conference with him today, made the)
assertion that Weeks ultimately will
give his support to Hughes. Weeks
expects to have 150 delegates at the
outset.
Roosevelt boosters are not talking
anything but Roosevelt, when, they are
talking out loud, but there Is discern
ible In the Roosevelt camp a growing
feel In a: that Hughes is destined to win.
