NAVAL BATTLE KEPT QUIET I
LONDON, Dec. 10.—The government is witholdingj
the details of the big naval battle and very little ^
more is known about it this morning than was given out
yesterday. The moral effect on the country of the des
truction of the German ships which had inflicted a defeat |
on a British squadron is so great that the government j
probably desires to make the most ot it and so lefiains
irom stating the facts which would undoubtedly show
that the Germans were greately outnumbered. That the
British squadron was much superior in strength is made
evident by the fact that the British suffered almost no;
losses. It is believed that the Dresden and the Nurnberg
which escaped will be captured or sunk as they had been
damaged in the battle before they succeeded in getting
away. They are now being pursued and as they are small
vessels there is hardly the slightest chance that the} can
escape.
BEYERS SURELY DEAD
LONDON, Dec. 10.—The death of General Beyers, the
last of the real leades ol the South African rehellion, has
heen confirmed by dispatches from Capetown todaj. L\en
still the details of the event are lacking but its importance
is fully realized. He was commander in the British forces
in South Africa before the present war but refused to take j
part in an offensive movement against the Germans in thej
neighboring German colony and resigned his place in thej
army. Later he took up arms against the Biitish with;
DeWet. - j
TURKS HELP JEWS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—The Turkish government
lias notified the United States government that it is per
fectly willing to permit a ship with relief supplies for the
Jews in Jersualem to land in Turkish ports. The ship and
supplies have been purchased bv the Jews of New \ ork to
aid their co-religionists in Jerusalem who are said to be
suffering intensely as a result of the war and Turkey’s
entrv into the conflict.
WHEAT FALLS
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—A depression in wheat was
noticeable today in the Chicago market as a direct result
of the British victory over the German ships near the
Falkland islands. The loss of the German ships opens the
sea for Argentine wheat shipements to England and so
cuts the U. S. price.

GERMAN TRIED TO
DESTROY COLOMBO.!
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON, Dec. 9.—Colombo Harbor
the principal seaport of Ceylon and its
shipping had u narrow escape from i
destruction in the early days of the
war, according to mail advices just
received here. A Gcrmun spy set fire
to an anchored vessel which contained
more than fifty tons of dynamite. The
only means of saving neighboring
shipping and harbor works was to sink
the burning ship and this was done by
a squad of volunteers at a consider
able risk.
All mention of this incident was ap
parently deleted by the English censor
in the cable news dispatches at the
time.

1 gian refugees who have arrived in
London are finding accomodation in a
district which, before the outbreak of,
hostilities, formed one of the chief
German colonies in the Metropolis—
Forest Hill and Sydenham. Many of
the visitors are well-to-do and are
renting good-sized houses in the
neighborhood, while loss fortunately
endowed one* are being quartered
upon sympathizers. Although the Ger
man male residents have gone back to
Germany, there are still a number of
their women folk around Forest Hill.
