GERMAN VESSEL ALSO
WAS MADE A TARGET.
Fired Upon for Two Hours and a
HaIf md Not HIT.

FIRED uDOn Tor TWO Hours ana n
Half and Not hit.
Berlin. oct. PA dispatch to the
LoleaI Anzeiger. dated Gestemund. Oct.
81, 1i:55 p. m. says:
The fishing vessel sonntag, which ar
rived here to-day, reported that 1t had
been fired upon for two and a half
hours off Dogger Bank. but was not
hit.
The following Is the story OF Capt.
Haehner Of the Sonntag:
ION oct 21 we were on the Horns
Reef fishing grounds, on the west coast
OF Jutland. In the forenoon five large
Russian ships passed and In the even
ing nine more. North of us was a
large freight steamer. At $3.50 o'clock
p. m. we were lighted by reflector
and Immediately afterwards there fell
the first shells In our neighborhood.
The Russian vessels fired up to eighty
shots a minute I'm all directions.
"Tows rds $3.50 O'clock the freighter
approached US, drawing the fire upon
itself. In the light of the reflector we
observed shells striking close to this
steamer We then observed another
reflector southwark and shells bursting
near the ship which was firing on us.
We remained unhurt. After IL o'clock
there were no further shells"

Diplomacy Is Busy While War Prepara-
fi0ns Are Af0Ot.
ENGLAND MAKING
READY FOR WAR
CHECK R0JESTvENSKY GIVES
DOES NOT STOP THE PREPARA-
TIONs OF THE FLEETS.

London. Oct. notwithstanding
the diplomatic check in consequence
of Admiral Rojestvensky's report, it
is evident that Great Britain is pre-
pairing for the possibility of war. Ire
mendous activity is reported from all
dock yards, where vessels under repair
are being made ready for sea under
urgent orders from the admiralty.
At Cardiff. it is stated that admiral
ty agents are securing great quantities
of coal for Gibraltar, Portsmouth, Nal
ia and other ports, and paying high
freights. The Mediterranean fleet is
Fastening in the direction of Gibraltar,
and it is announced that the channel
squadron. with decks cleared. will
leave Gibraltar early this morning, it's
alleged object being a sham attack
on the Rock" The home fleet. like
wise, IS concentrating.
In fact. almost the entire British
navy is pointing in the direction of
the Baltic feet, portion of which is
expected to sail from Vigo during to-
day.
Perhaps the most significant develop
ment is the cabinet meeting, which is
called for noon to-day. While the call
was issued prior to the receipt of Ro-
jestvensky's report, which changed the
situation considerably and appears to
place some of the burden of proof upon
Great Britain, the meeting undoubtedly
marks the reaching of serious stage.
\ Question Punishment i'm Abeyance.
The Associated Press understands
that the new phase introduced into
the situation by Admiral Rojestven-
sky's report was the almost exclusive
subject of discussion at the two con-
ferences of Ambassador Benkendorff
and Foreign Secretary Lansdowne to-
day. In consequence. the question or
punishment is held in allegiance.
Lord Lansdowne, it is stated. said
to Ambassador Benkendorff that while
the circumstances reported by Rojest-
vensky were inconceivable to him, he
quite understood that the Russian
government was bound to take the
word of it's own admiral.
The opinion expressed to the Assoc
ciated Press at the Foreign Office to-
night was that it is ridiculous to sup
pose that two torpedo boats could lie
unnoticed among the vessels OF the
fishing feet. There is no evidence, so
far as the Foreign Office is concerned,
to support Rojestvenskys contention.
