Cape Hayticn, Sept. S.-The Gunboat
Crete-a-P Pierrot, which was in the service
OF the Firminist party, has been sunk at
the entrance of the Harbor of Gonaivcs
by the German gunboat Panther.
The German gunboat Panther arrived
September sth Ga1 received instructions
from the German government to capture
the Firminist gunboat Crete-a- Perrot.
She left Immediately for Gonaves, the
seat Of the Firminist government. The
Panther found the Crete-a-Pierrot in the
harbor of Gonaives and the commander
Of the gunboat informed Admiral kllick
on the Crete-a-Pierrot that he must re-
move his crew and surrender his vessci
in five minutes. Admiral killick askeo
that this time be extended to IS minutes
This request was granted on the condi.
tion that the arms and ammunition OH
board the Crctc-a-Pierrot should be aban.
doned when her crew left her.
The crew of the Crete a. Pierrot left
that vessel amid great disorder. At the
end of IS minutes the Panther sent a
small boat carrying one officer and 20
sailors who were to take possession of the
Firmnist gunboat. When these men had
arrived at a point about 20 yards from
the Cretc-a-P Pierrot, flames were seen to
break out on board Of her. She had
been fired by her crew before they left
her.
The Panther then fired on the Crete-a-
Pierrot until she was completely i'm
mersed. Thirty shots all told were fired.
There is much feeling against the Firm
inists and their cause is considered to be
bad one. Soldiers are leaving here to

gunboat Cretc-a-Pierrot The Panther
went there from Port au Prince to Co

Crete-a-Pierrot. The German comman-
dant sent the following utimatum:
Strike your colors within IS minutes
and disembark from your ship without I'M
dertaking any defensive measures what
ever, otherwise an immediate attack will

The Panther had already cleared for
action. The Cretc-a- Pierrot hauled down
her flag within the allotted time and the
crew disembarked The Panther then in
tended to take the Crete-a Perrot in tow,
but an explosion of her aft powder maga-
zine soon occurred, which was evidently
effected by the Crete-a- Pierrot's crew. The
explosion destroyed her stern and set the
vessel on fire, rendering taking her in tow
impossible especially as further explo-
sions followed. AS this was regarded as
hostile act and as the guns aforc were
still in condition, the Panther's captain
caused the forward magazine to be explod-
