GERMANS SINK BRITISH SHIP
NEW YORK. Aug. 22.—The British steamer Hyades
has heen sunk by the German cruiser Dresden oil' Ibis
coast. The cruiser captured the ' essel and took all its coal
for its own use. After having transferred the coal and
the crew of the Hyades the Dresden sent the steamer to
the bottom. The crew of the Hyades were then put
aboard a German steamer and sent to Rio de Janeiro.
This event has revived the scare from which Atlantic!
mariners were recovering as it shows that German war* i
ships must still he taken into account in these waters.
AUSTRIAN BATTLESHIP SUNK

ship Zyrinyi In a French cruiser has been confirmed. The
great vessel was one ol the most powerful ol the Austi ian ;

Sf ^°lU*odi»v mat the Germans have gained a magnificent
victory over the French between Metz and the Vosges
mountains. The details of the reported battle have not
been given and as the reports coming from the enemies of
the Germans say nothing about such a battle there is
much doubt as to its truth.
ST. PETERSBURG QUIET
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 21.—'The appearance of this
city is unchanged by the great war. No additional mili
tary precautions have been t; ken or have been considered
necessary. The food supply is abundant and Russia is
confident that she can continue the struggle for an indefi
nite time. The czar’s government has decided to carry the
war into the countries of the enemy all the time if possi
ble. The fear has been felt that Germany might gain a
foothold on the Baltic coast of this empire but the vast
ness of the distances in Russia renders the taking of terri
tory of any importance a matter of exceeding difficulty.
Troops are crossing the plains of Russia towards the west
as fast as they can he moved but it is regarded as advisa
ble by the government to maintain strong garrisons in the
interior to provide against the possibility of revolution or
! riots by nihilists or other disaffected people. This garri
soning of the great territories will require a lot of the em
pire’s military strength but at least a couple of millions of
men can be hurled at the Germans and Austrians.
TURKEY KEEPS QUIET
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 21.—No further develop
ments have occurred in the situation as far as Turkey is
concerned. If any answer has been sent to the demands
of Russia for the passage of the Dardanelles it is not
known to the public. All telegrams relative to the interior
conditions, particularly to any movements the army might
make are censored but the government states that this is
merely a precaution against the dispatch of messages that
might create wrong impressions abroad. The two Ger
man warships taken over by the sultan's government are
still in the possession of this country. The conditions in
Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece are also hidden as each
fears to take a step that might be fraught with the most
serious danger.
DUTCH FIRE AT GERMANS
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 31.—The soldiers of Holland in
several localities tired today at German aeroplanes and
dirigible balloons that have commenced to fly in great
numbers over this kingdom and people are beginning to
believe that Holland will soon he in the throes of war as no
reason can he assigned for the activity of the German air
fleets unless that Germany is now studying the situation
with a view to invasion. The Dutch army has been mobi
lized to its full strength and not less than one hundred
thousand men are ready to oppose any attempt of Ger
many to cross the frontier.
FRENCH DIRIGIBLES THROW BOMBS
PARIS, Aug. 21.—French dirigible balloons threw j
several bombs into two German cavalry camps in Belgium
yesterday and for a time caused a sort of panic. The
dirigibles, having exhausted their explosives, retired to
the French lines without injury. The throwing of bombs
from the air at night has become one of the usual spec
tacles of the present war and one of the most terrible. As
regiments lie down to sleep in the darkness they are never
certain that within a few moments bolts will not begin to
fall from the heavens as the thunder bolts were supposed
to he sent by the gods in the days of the ancient Greeks
and Trojans. The French dirigibles in this instance are
said to have succeeded in killing a large number of the
sleeping cavalrymen.
BRITISH AMERICANS CALLED OUT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—All the British reservists
in the United States have received orders to place them
selves under the orders of the British consuls in their var
ious localities and to he prepared to take ship at once for
England [p join the colors. This order is taken to mean
nothing less than that Great Britain is preparing to place
her whole military strength on a war footing and to send
a great military force to the European continent.
ACCUSE GERMANS
PARIS, Aug. 22.—The French government alleges
that the German troops are using explosive bullets and so
are violating the Hague agreement which bound all na
tions to avoid this awful and inhuman missile.
The French officials say that many of the wounds in
dicted on French soldiers have undoubtedly been indicted
by such bullets.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 22.—1The Germans received
a crushing defeat in east Prussia today at the hands of
the Russian cavalry who captured a whole German bat
tery. The engagement was a cavalry one entirely and the
charges made by the horsemen on both sides were simply
terrific. The Russian forces in the fight were part of the
northern Russian army. The defeat is regarded as a se
vere blow to the Germans.
Advices received here this afternoon declare that the
Servians have captured sixty Austrian guns in four days
and that the soldiers of the little kingdom are victorious
all along the line.

Fairbanks, Aug. II.—"We find
there is a very practicable railway j
route across Broad Pass and down the
Nonana river. After striking the
flats on the lower Nonana we have
two alternatives, either to go straight
ahead to Nonana station, on the Tan
ana river, or across the flats to I* if*
teen .Mile. Both routes will be sur
veyed,” said T. K. Riggs, member of
the Alaska railroad commission, on
his arrival here last night with Lieut.
Mears, also a member of the commis
sion.
“The route up the Susitna is a very
easy one, as w.-yer grade prevails all
the way,” said .Mears. “Broad pass is
an ideal pass to go through. The
route is perfectly feasible from a con
struction point of view, but of course
other routes will In* reported upon.”
Both men are bronzed from ex
posure in the Alaska mountains, su
pervising the work of tin* engineers.
Within a week they will leave here
for tlie outside over tin* Valdez trail
to check surveys of the Copper River
railroad extension now on file at
Washington. Doth commissioners ex
pect to have a report ready for con
gress in November. They predict
that construction will be started front
both ends of the route selected next
year.
Iditarod On Monday morning the
citizens of Iditarod were pained and
shocked to hear of the sudden death
during the preceding night of Henry
Schneider, an old and respected citi
zen of the north and one of the best
known business men of the city. He
was found in his cabin by .lame.
Crawford, who went to awaken him to
attend to some matters of business.
He had apparently passed away
peaceably, as there were no evidences
of suffering either in the features oi
the deceased or in the position in
which he was lying. Mr. Schneider
had been for some years a sufferer
from stomach trouble, and it is be
lieved that his heart became affected
It was decided that no inquest was
necessary.
