THE THEAS SINKING.
German Foreign Office Not In
formed Newspapers Quiet.

Berlin, Aug. 3.-The press treatment OF the
sinking of the German steamer Thea by the
Vladivostok squadron presents striking con-
trast to the angry protests against the seizure
of the Hamburg American Line steamer Scan
dia and even the sinking Of the British steamer
knight Commander. All the great political
dailies print the Thea incident inconspicuously
as part OF a Russian official report. without even
emphasizing the fact that the vessel destroyed
was German. only two newspapers comment
on the incident The "TagIIche Rundschau'
says:
The news about the steamer Thea is inter

one estimate given OF the Russian losses. All
estimates, however are little better than guess
