ALL EUROPE SLAUGHTERS
(Continued from page 1)
caught the German liner, the Hamburg, with six million
dollars in gold. She was hound from Portugal to Buenos
Ayres and had been watched closely by the Britishers. She
surrendered without even attempting to run away from
the pursuers. . , , , „
The relief funds which have been raised have been all
placed in one fund and this will now be used for prevent
ing distress among the poor during the war. One of the
funds was raised by Queen Alexandra and the other was
collected bv the Prince of Wales hut both have decided
that all relief funds can be used only for one purpose and
so they are joined. The total amounts ol the lunds is two
and a half millions. This sum is expected to keep hunger
from the very poor ol the city lor a long time.
Some amusement has been caused by the fact that the
trustees of the fund have made a regulation that will pre
vent bankers of German nationality from handling them.
GERMANS ATTACK NAMUR
BRUSSELS. Aug. 11.—The German army has already
appeared in front of Namur and it is now certain that
northern France will be invaded through this country.
Siege guns of powerful calibre have been placed in Iront
of the city and also in front of the forts at Liege that were
not taken when the city fell. It has been reported that
the Germans have been repulsed at fort Serang, South
Liege, and that they have lost eight hundred men hut this
report is regarded now as almost a joke when the lalsc re
ports of the past week are taken into account.
WAR IN AFRICA
LONDON. Aug. 11.—The British have landed in part
of the German possessions in Africa and have already an
nexed Togoland according to dispatches received here to
day. The messages contain the statement that very little
opposition was encountered hut that the capture is an im
portant one and that it will mean the addition to British
territory of a very large amount of new land.
JAPAN MAY FIGHT
TOKIO. Aug. 11.—The Japanese cabinet was in session
all night and the feeling is general that this country will
enter the great light which is now convulsing the greater
part of the civ ili/.ed world. Should Japan enter the war it
would be for the purpose of securing control of coveted
territories while the other powers are unable to combine
against her. She would declare in favor of Great Britain
but the general public can hardly see what her real inten
tion is.
PARIS, Aug. 11.—Austria has sent a Slav army corps
to the French border and it is now expected that the army
of Austria will be confronted with one of the strangest
situation ever existing as the Slavs will probably refuse
to light against Russia. It is declared here on the best of
authority that the Slav subjects of Austria are only wait
ing for a chance to show where their sympathies really lie
hut. on the other hand, there are many who think that this
belief is created by the hope that such a fact would be
true.
It has also been reported that the Austrians are violat
ing Swiss neutrality and arc now actually marching
through Swiss territory. The people of France generally
regret the necessity of fighting Austria and the fact really
is that countries are now fighting each other that have
never had a cause to do so. During all the excitement in
this city no word of anger has ever been spoken against
Austria and many subjects of the Austrian empire who
are now here are treated as the best of friends.
AUSTRIA MUST FIGHT TO DEATH
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 11.—The war against Aus
tria is now commenced and already several engagements
have been fought on the frontier. The Russian forces will
attempt to penetrate Austria through the Styr valley and
are now being concentrated for this purpose. Thirty
thousand Austrians have marched to the French border
near Basle. Switzerland, to help the Germans but the re
mainder of the great Austrian army will be used in the
war against Russia.
For the first time France declared war formally
against Austria today and the great conflict may be said
to be only commencing with this declaration. The people
of this nation are still throbbing under the war fever and
the greatest host that the Russian empire ever mobilized
is now waiting the word to march. Nearly a million men
have already been advanced to the Austrian and German
borders but the Austrians are supposed to have at least an
equal number ready to oppose any attempt fo invade Aus
trian territory.
AUSTRIAN WARSHIPS MOVE
ROME, Aug. 11.—Thirteen Austrian warships have
sailed from Cattaro and arc now steaming to the straits of
Otranto to reinforce the two German cruisers that have
been ordered out of Italy. 'These two ships, the Goeben
and the Breslau, are still hovering around the Italian
coast and none of the fleets of the enemy have succeeded
in discovering them.
The Goeben and the Breslau are, however, in serious
danger and the aid of the Austrian ships may result in the
declaration of war between Austria and Great Britain.
The fact that these two nations have not yet entered for
mally into the war with each other is regarded as a sort of
a grim joke among the other powers. Neither wishes to
have the odium of declaring war but that they are really in
a state of war is not denied as it would be impossible to
avoid a conflict under the circumstances. That a great
naval engagement will result from the voyage ot the Aus
trian warships is understood as the British Mediterran
ean squadron and some French warships are waiting for
the Austrians now just beyond the straits.
The Austrian squadron had scarcely left the Austrian
shores when a Montenegrin gunboat opened tire on the
city of Cattaro. It is still bombarding the city and doing
tremendous damage as the guns ashore are unable to
reach it.
