STAYS UNDER SEA.
Another French Submarine Boat Is
Lost Off Biserta.

Another French Submarine Boat Il
Lost off Biserta.
Biserta, Tunis, Oct. 1.-THE French
submarine Lutin left this port this
morning for plunging experiments
Signals received at 10 o'clock tonight
reported her disappearance. Two tor
pedo boats and three tugs went out in
search of the submarine.
1t now appears almost certain, &C.
cording to the news received at a late
hour tonight, that the crew of the Luz
tin has suffered fate similar to that
which overlook the crew of the subma-
rine Farfadet here last year. The crew
OF the Lutin numbered IA men.
Admiral Bellue, commander of the
Tunis naval division, who went out on
board tug, returned at late hour to
night and said that, owing to the heavy
seas and the obscurity, it was impossi-
BILE to continue salvage operations until
day. The tugs and torpedo boats, how
ever, will remain through the night
near the place where the Lutin made
her final plunge.
One OF these boats reports that its
drag encounters resistsne as though
vessel were lying at the bottom. The
government salvage steamers belonging
to this port, will return in the morning
and participate in the work.
The British consul general here pro-
posed to the French resident general to
Telegraph to the British admiralty at
Malta for salvage and assistance. This
offer was accepted.
The Lutfn was single srcew steel
marine boat built at Rochefort in 1901.
She was 1S5 feet long and had a dis
placement of 1876 tons.

alarm was ielt throughout the city on

OF the flames, but the reorganized FIRE

emergency and surrounding property
was protected. The water supply was
