tho South Atlautlc a few days ago.
According to tho Orlza officers, mis

British forco caused Admiral von Spee
to give battle.
Tho British fleet included tho battle
cruisers Iuvlucible and Inflexible, and
the cruisers Kent, Cornwall, Carnar
von, Bristol and Glasgow. They en
tered the harbor and coalod.
On the morning ot December 8th,
tho smoko ot the German cruisers waa
sighted. Admiral von Spee evidently
thought the British force was only
light cruisers, for he steamed directly
at the enemy. -
l Before he discovered ho wacJnn . t-
