CABLES HERE FOR CURACAO
Work on raising the Curacao
lias been retarded owing to the
non-arrival of cables with
which to raise the sunken ves
sel. These were received on a
recent steamer and will be sent
over to the wreck, when the
work of raising her will be fin
ished in short order. One lift
of the wreck was made and she
was moved up on the beach,
but it was feared that the gear
wasn’t strong enough to re
peat fhp operation, hence the
delay until new wire ropes
could be secured.

New York, Aug. 13—From
both London and Paris come?
word that after a fight lasting
over sixty hours wi'th hardly a
pause in the cannonading, the
French forces at Longwy have
administered a stinging defeat
on the German column that in
vaded France from Luxemberg,
and the latter is now in full re
treat after losing thousands of
prisoners. Luxemberg, which
is an independent duchy, was
occupied by the Germans on
the very outset of the war, and
using it a« a base, a column of
three army corps of the Ger
—————————-as——
mans marched into Fr >nch terci
tory. They drove back the bor
der guards and patrol and un
dertook to occupy Longwy,
which is a fortified town. The
French troops made a determ
ined stand Monday and Tues
day, and reinforcements arriv
ing during the night of Tues
day, yesterday assumed the of
fensive and attacked the Ger
mans. It was in the nature of
a surprise, and took them in
the flank, throwing them in'to
disorder, which was taken ad
vantage of by the French com
mander and he ordered an at
[tack along the entire front, with
results that thousands of tiie
German'troops were taken pri«
oners, the entire hospital force
captured, and over a hundred
pieces of artillery taken. The
main 'body of the Germans are
now across the border- info
Luxenberg with the French
close behind them. The French
aeroplanes are keeping well :n
advance of their forces and are
dropping bombs freely where
ever the German forces attempt
'to make a stand. Reinforce
ments are being rushed for
ward by the Germans to stop
the French advance. The fight
ing has been very severe, and
both sides have lost heavily.
Brussels, Aug. 13—Germany
has evidently had all the fight
ing she wants at Liege, and the
main body of her army that has
b„en lying east and north of
the River Meuse, started on a
northern circle this morning
and is apparently headed for
this city. A short fierce fight
'took place last night between
the garrison of one of the Bel
gian forts and a body of about
ten thousand Germans advanc
ing to aid the German forces
now in Liege, and they were
driven back. A strong line of
['defenses has been raised across
’where an advancing army must
march to reach this place, and
a repetition of the fight around
Liege will be repeated. Thou
sands of additional English and
French troops are being rush
ed to’the front to. meet this new
move of the Germans, and
heavy fighting is certain.
Ban Francisco, Aug. lb—Tne
wreckage picked up on the coast
south of this place and yestcr
sinking of the British gunboats
Rainbow or Shearwater, was
examined by naval men yester
day and the conclusion reache 1
that it was material that had
been thrown overboard when
the vessel stripped for action.
No signs of shot holes were to
be seen in any of it and its
generall appearance lends col
or to the opinion that it had
been thrown overboard.
Washington, Aug. 13—Fear is
expressed in this city that Harry
Buhro, a wealthy mine owner
of Alaska, a native of Russia.
^•bere he has been visiting thi
___
summer, has been impressed
into the army of thatcountry.
Delegate Wickersham has been
asked by friends of Buhro to in
terest the American government
in the matter and the Adminis
tration has put the matter up
, to the American ambassador to
make an investigation.
Berlin, Aug. 13—After hear
ing of the condition of affairs
at Liege and the terrible toll
■that had been exacted of the
'German army in the capture of
the place, Kaiser Wilhelm last
night directed tha't further as
suits on the forts be discontin
ued until heavy Krupp guns
could be moved up to the front
'and the forts reduced by long
range fire.
Copenhagen, Aug. 13—The
mobilization of Denmark's army
is now complete, and thousands
of her troops are being massed
along 'the German frontier.
Denmark has declared her neu
trality, but has never forgiven
the stealing of her southern
provinces by Germany in the
sixties.
St. Petersburg Aug, 13—With
the combined French and Brit
ish fleets holding the German
war squadrons bottled up at
Kiel, Russia now dominates the
Baltic Sea, and her fleet has
captured some twenty-five Ger
man merchant vessels found
therein. They have all been
sent to the Gulf of Finland and
will be used by Russia a’ trans
ports.
Vladivostock, Siberia, Aug.
13—The harbor at this place is
being mined by the Russian gar;
ri^on in anticipation of a pos
sible attack by the Germans.
London, Aug. 13—Advices
have been received here by a
round about channel from Ber
lin, admitting that the German -
have lost heavily in several
small battles on the Russian
frontier.
Winnepeg, Aug. 13—Two
train loads of artillery and am
munition passed through this
city yesterday on the way to the
Pacilic coast. The trains hay’

right of way even over the pas
senger trains of the CailfiehpFri
Pacific. This is the second wmji
ment of this na'tnre that has
been made during the paste
week, and naturally excites a
great deal of attention.
Berlin, Aug. 13—Plains for the
campaign against Russia have

of 20,000 men each and will
have in reserve thirty divisions
