dated last night in London.
"Early this morning a concerted operation of some consequence was
attempted against the German fleet off Helgoland Bight. A strong force
of destroyers, followed by light cruisers and battle-cruisers, and working
in conjunction' with submarines, intercepted an attack by German destroy
ers and embers guarding the approaches to the German coast. According
to Information which has reached the Admiralty so far the operation has
been fortunate and fruitful.
"The British destroyers have been heavily engaged with the enemy's
destroyers, and all the British destroyers are reported afloat and returning
in good order. Two German destroyers were sunk and many damaged.
"The enemy's cruisers engaged the British cruisers. Battle-cruisers
of the first light cruiser squadron sank the Mainz, receiving only slight
damage. The first battle squadron sank one cruiser of the Koln class, and
another disappeared on fire and in a sinking condition.
Ml "All the German cruisers which were engaged were thus disposed of.
The battle-cruiser squadron, although attacked by submarines and float-
ing mines, successfully evaded them and is not damaged. The light
cruiser squadron suffered no casualties.
"The flotilla cruiser Amethyst and the destroyer Laertes are dam
aged, but no other vessels are seriously injured. The British loss of life
wis not heavy.
"The commanding officers concerned in this skilfully handled opera
tion were Rear-Admirals Bcatty, Moore and Christian, and Commodores
Keyes, Tyrwhitt and Goodenough."

giving an account of tho sinking of
tho North Germnn Lloyd liner Kaiser
Wllhelm der Qrosso, which had boon
converted Into a cruiser, off tho
coast of Africa, by the Drltlsh cruiser
Highflyer, which was reported lust
Thursday.
Lieut. Doanc, a Lirltlsh army officer
who was taken prisoner by tho Knlser
Wllholm der drosse from tho Hrttlh
steamer Qallclan on tho high seas, is
the authority of tho Las I'almas cor
respondent, and In an Interview he
gives a graphic account of how the
great liner was dostroyed.
Lieut. Drano was not on board the Ger
man converted cruiser; he hnd been
sent over to the colllor Arucal, from
which the liner was coaling. When
It was seen that the Kalner Wllholm
was doomed the German captuln sent
his sword, blstlospatch box and a let
ter to his wife to the collier, his sec
retary being his messenger. Previous
to doing this the captain of the liner
had announced that he would hlmn'lf
blow up his command rather thun
surrender.
When tho Highflyer opened flro on
tho steamer, Deann continues, the
collier was still fastened to her by ono
hawser, and owing to some delay cor
taln prUonern on board the liner did
not get a chanro to leave the ship.
The Kaiser Wllhelm was bow mi to
tho Highflyer, nnd the lirltlsh crulsr
had uonio difficulty in finding her
mark.
She manoeuvred to get broadside
on, and the ensuing rannonndo Insteil
for forty minutes, All tho shots from
tho Kaiser Wllhelm appeared to be
falling short. From the collier It was
seen that she had been hit three
times, and on catching flro she reused
replying to tho phots from tho
Hrltlsh cruiser.
When the German vessel had beon
silenced the Highflyer nlso stoppod
fire. By this time tho Arucal, which
had separated from the. liner, had
got too far away to perceive, nnv.
thing more than that sho was still
burning.
Tho Germans kept on hoard tho
Knlser Wllhelm only her officers,
her gun crows and o few engineers.
The remainder of her men were
transferred to the collier.
