VILLA IN BATTLE
VANTOUVBH, H. C, Mny 15.
Hiirly this, morning, two hours before
dawn, nn ttttaek was made by nn
armed raiding party on tho Pacific
cable station nt Hnmficld Creek, west
const of Vancouver island. Shots
were exchanged between the raiders
nnd n sentry, who immediately roused
the military guard 'of tho station, nnd
the raiders escaped in the darkness.
SKI ! w
1 no nuncKing party lied in n
launch which evidently contained u
largo imrty of.men, nnd which ntuxt
have been fitted from somo port in
Washington, probably from Paget
sound.
The sentry noticed 11 suspicious
movement in (lie bushes at the -shore
nnd went to investigate. A rifle
shot cracked out mid a bullet' whis
tled past his head. A second Inter he
replied with several shots nt two
hntless men, who had got quite closo
to the cable offices, but who now
rushed to the beach. There they got
aboard ti launch nnd in n moment the
vessel disappeared in tho darkness
Tho military guard nt the station
made n thorough search of tho viein
ity mid later obtained information
that a launch had been seen e.chang
tug signals with some one either
ashore or afloat. This had occurred
on several oeensions within tho last
few days.
Tho gentry snw Iho two men mid
way between tho main offieo and tho
superintendent's; resideliee. Kxtra

tho office.
WASHINGTON', Mny 15. Dr.
Ilcrnhard Dernburg, often referred to
us the unofficial spokesman of Em
peror William in tho United States,
has made plan to leave the country
of Ins own initiative within n short
time.
It hcemno known in official quar
ters here today on aecotmt of the in
timations that President Wilson am!
cabinet were dispkiWd with Dcrn
bitrg's Hpcech justifying the sinking;
or Iho Lti-itHni and some of his
other public utterances, which they
believed might be calculated to array
sentiment of Germans in the United
States against the Washington gov
ernment, friends of Dr. Dernburg
here have pmunded hint to leave the
United Stoles. Just when Dr. Dern
burg would leave or where he would
go wns not made known, but it is be
rn-'itu lie woiiiu sun j or luim or
South America.
Activity I)lpIealflK
Dr. Dcrnburg's activity in the Unit
ed States since the beginning of the
wnr has been closely observed by the
president and other high officials
here who claim to believe the last
week that a continuation of his
speeches and statements might in the
event of u critical turn in relations
wim uermnny, menace Jhe dowstte
welfare of America.
It has been repeatedly denied bv
thn German embassy, as well ns by
Dr. Dernburg- himself, that he was n
spokesman for the German govern
ment or that he liad any official
stnttts. In view, however, of the fact
that Dr. Dernburg was formerly col
onial secretary in the German for
eign office and hits become promi
nently active in behalf of the German
cause since the outbreak- of tho war,
olficinls here believe that German
Americans attach official weight to
ins utterances.
Itcfuses to Talk
nr. iicmourg iituiselt issued a
statement last night declaring he had
never discussed matters that had
arisen diplomatically between the
United States and Germany. Offic
ials here made no comment on that
beyond jointing to Dr. Dcrnburg's
utterances in Cleveland and New York
recently seeking to justify the attack
on the Lu&itanin.
