The Emden Burned

London, November 10.-Q2.51 a. m.)-It was officially announced in London today that the German cruiser Emden nas been , ollven ashore and burned. The losses among the officers and crew of the E.m- den are reported to have been very heavy. The Emden was destroyed in the Bay of Bengal by the Australian cru-ser Syd- ney. She was driven ashore on an island of the Cocos or Keeling group, southwest of Java.
 The sydney sighted the Emden yester- day early. With superior speed she nt once closed in and gayo battle. The German boat could not escape There was a running fight, at the end of which the Emden, burning from the shells of the Australian boat, was beached.
 The casualties on the sydney are said to have been slight
 The Emdcn has contributed to the his- tory of the war one of it's most remark able chapters. For sheer audacity and skill it has few parallels. certainly none since the Alabama, the famous old Con- federate warship, was roaIn,ns the seas.
 Twenty-two ships. mostly British have been sunk and one has been captured by the cruiser.
 Since early in August the Emden has been at work Most of the time she was proving on British shipping in the Iqp dian ocean, but late last month she sudh denly appeared at Penang, on Malacca Straits.
 It was here that the Emden performed her most daring feat. A fourth smoks- stack was rigged on her deck and a Jam anese flag rup up. Thus disguised she steamed watchfully Into the harbor, pass ing unchalienged under the British guns of the place and fired torpedoes at Jemt- chug and q French destroyer. Then sh' steamed away and escaped unscatheo through the straits.
 No accurate estimate can be made of the value of the vessels destroyed by tho Emden. or of their cargoes. Sh. pping men have variously placed the extent of the damage at s4000, 900 to $21. .oo0.000. These estimates are based upon the vessels known to have been sunk by the Emden, but 1t is not unlikely that additional ships. whose loss has not been reported, were sent to tho bottom by the German cruiser. For three months she made her way at will over eastern waters. doubtless

Reported Mexican Head Will Abdicate in Favor of Gutierrez-NOt Yet
 Confirmed

Mexico City, November IO.-GeneraI Venustiano Carranza has granted aII the requests of the Washington gov ernment regarding the evacuation of Vera Cruz by the American troops, ac- cording to telegram received tonight from Foreign Minister FabeIn.
 Every guarantee asked by Washing ton for the Mexicans now In Vera Cruz will be given in a public decree to he issued soon. Tn return for these con- sessions the Carranza government hns nsked the United States to fix defin- ite date for the evacuation.
 vera Cruz, November 1O.-Carranxa United States government in connection n with the American evacuation of Vera Cruz, according to private advices re- ceived here.
 Washington, November 10.--The ulti- matum of the Mexican convention at Aguas Calientes ordering General Car ranza to deliver the executive power In Mexico to Eulalio Gutierrez expired at 6 o'clock tonight
 Neither the state department nor the Mexican embassy here, in charge of Carranza agents, had definite advices as to what had occurred. Early in the day Rafael Zuberan, Carranza' s Washington representative received a telegram from Luis Cabrera, saying Carranza had decided to recognize the acts of the convention with certain reservations. Carranza according to Cabrera, told the commission that nos tified him of the selection of Gutierrez that he would yield the executive pow CT to provisional president who would exercise no theoretical but actual con trol of the division of the north. now commanded by General Villa.
 The convention had formally noti- fled Carranza that 1t intended to ad- minister the oath of office to Gutierrez as provisional President tonight and that anyone who did not recognize him would be considered as in revolution against the constituted Mexican gov ernment. If necessary immediate hos tilities will begin against Carranza' 8 forces to inforce the conventions will.
 There was a feeling in administra- tion circles that Carranza eventually would yield. being unwilling to plunge Mexico into another revolution. This was based, however. more on previous intimations in official reports as to Carranza's s desire for peace than on any direct advices today.
