LONDON. June C. "Only phenom ernal luck saeo the German fleet from utter destruction In the battle .-kagerak," a senior officer command ing a British cruiser, told the United Press. He said: "The Germans had all the advantages. It was blowing bard in their direction and the sun was at our back, silhouetting our ships and making splendid targets. "The firing began at 20,000 yards. We engaged five German battle cruis ers. There was hot fighting from the tart with the water mil of bursting shells. 1 could see our shells hitting the Germans plainly and doing great damage The strategic plan was to cut the Germans off from their base. We had accomplished this when a mist began settling, giving the Ger mans a ohahce to escape. They were more than anxious to quit. Only two battle cruisers were still firing when the mist settled. "Our men entered the battle fear lessly and fought with wonderful coolness throughout. The Warspitc entered the engagement with a brok. en propeller. It circled helplessly under a horrible fire. Other British ships came to its aid and engaged the Germans shelling It The Warspite Dually escaped under a protective fire. The loss was small and the damage easily repaired. We are more ban anxious to repeat the engage ment under similar circumstances, trusting that luck will not all go one way next time.

Secretary of War Aboard Ship Sunk Warship Hampshire Strikes Mine or Torpedo North of Scottish Coast; Entire Staff Believed to Have Perished; Were on Way to Russia LONDON, June 6. The admiralty announced today that Lord Kitchener, minister of war, with his entire staff, was lost when the cruiser Hampshire was sunk north of Scotland. A torpedo or a mine struck the Hampshire which was taking Kitchener to Russia, probably to confer with the czar's military leaders regarding a concerted offensive along all fronts. The following is the admiralty's report: "The admiralty reports with deep regret that the ship Hampshire, with Kitchener and his staff on board, was sunk last night about 8 o'clock off the Ork ney islands by a mine or a torpedo. Four boats were ' seen from the shore leaving the ship. A heavy sea was running. Patrol vessels and destroyers proceed ed to the scene. The whole shore was searched but it is greatly feared that there is little hope of sur vivors." It was later announced that searching parties had found only the bodies and one capsized boat There is still faint hope that some reached the shore and proceeded inland in search of aid. On account of the high sea this, however, was considered am likely and the admiralty did not encourage hope. The Hampshire was a cruiser of the Argyll type with a com plement of 655 officers and men. It displaced 10,850 tons. Its armament consisted of four 71 '2 inch and six 6 inch guns and two torpedo tubes. Captain Herbert Vavill was in command. MEMBERS OF STAFF. NEW YORK, June 6.
