NO DETAILS OF VICTORY.
Petrosrad Claims Success In Poland,
but Report Is Meager.


but Report 10 Meager.
London, Nov. 27.-The Russian gen.
eral staff still is Withholding the de-
tails of the victory which all other
dispatches from Petrograd say the
Russians have won over the German
forces which penetrated Poland.
Tonight's official report simply says
the battle continues to develop to the
advantage Of the Russians and that
the Germans are trying to extricate
themselves from a position very I'M
favorable to them.
The Germans, on the other hand,
claim they have inflicted heavy losses
IN the Russians between Lodz and Lo-
wicz.
The military authorities in Petro-
grad, assuming that the unofficial re-
ports of a victory are true, express
establishment that the Germans should
have attacked Lodz. for they say de.
feat there was inevitable.
The Germans who advanced from
the north and south, these military

al president named cabinet and

Gonzales, who is now at Pachuca
with force of 5000 men, had been
supposed to be unswervingly loyal to
Carranza After the Aguascalientes
convention, however. he disappeared
southwark His army and his where
abouts since had been more or less q
mystery.
g The reports from Aguascalientes
threw little light upon the latest COM
plication in the Mexican situation. It
is not believed here that Gonzales.
with his comparatively small force,
will be able to interfere with the
forces OF Provisional President
Gutierrez and Gen. Villa for the Joint
triumphal entry into Mexico City.
Gonzales is the third OF the trio Of
Carranza commanders. villa and
Obregon were the other two. Villa
was Carranza's commander OF the
North, Obregon his commander Of the
West and Gonzales the commander of
the East.
II was these three men who won
the battles that made Carranza the
chief executive Of the republic.
The state department has not
heard OF the reported action OF Gen.
Carranza in demanding that the Amer.
lean battleships be withdrawn from
Vera Cfuz harbor. There Is little or
no likelihood that the request will
be compiled with. It is assumed
that Carranza is up to his favorite
game OF currying public favor in Mex
leo by feigning an attitude OF def
ance toward the United States.
However, the United States has
passed the point where 1t would go
out OF It's way to favor Carrapza.
The troops were withdrawn be-
cause 1t was considered best for
! American interests. There Is no such
/ consideration, however. in connection
with the battleships. and these may
therefore, be expected to remain In
Mexican waters.

London, Nov. 27.--Dixmude has been

there have been two other heavy en-

France, cay the latest dispatches from
the western seat of war. In the re-

French marines lost 400 men, but they
drove the Germans seven miles away
from the town.
Heavy losses we're inflicted on the
Germans, say the French, In one OF
the other engagements. while the Ger

French lost heavily.
Although the Germans bombarded
Arras their infantry did not renew
its assaults in the effort to batter
down the allied line and make an
opening for a German advance to Ca.

Sheerness, Nov. 27.-The British
battleship B,ilwark was blown up
while lying az It's moorings in Sheer
ness harbor.
About eight hundred lives we're lost,
as the vessel sank before the dense
cloud of smoke and flame cleared
away. Fourteen members of the crew
escaped death and were picked up by
vessels which quickly came to the
scene.
Next to the dreadnaught Audacious,
sunk by a mine off the north coast of
Ireland on October %, the Bulwark is
the most serious single loss that the
British navy has so far suffered in the
war.
Plan to slit Disaster.
II Is believed that the Bulwark's ex-
plosion occurred in the ships forward
magazine. Whether 1t was caused by
accident or design is a question to be
determined By the commission which
has been appointed to investigate.
There is little evidence that the
ship was torpedoed or struck by a
mine.
The force of the explosion was SO
great that on some OF the other ves-
sells lying in the harbor there was not
piece of glass or lcrockery left whole,
even half-inch plate glass in the port
holes being shattered.
Houses seven and eight miles dis
tant we're shaken and windows broken.
Pieces of the ship even were thrown
six or seven miles on the Essex shore.
Workmen ashore waiting to be re-
lieved after the night shift state they
were looking casually at the shipping

diately by clouds of smoke.
! For few brief minutes this drifted
seaward, and to the mems amaze

tleship remained So staggering was
the blow that the workmen who had
been dazed by the severity of the ex
plosion for a few moments almost dis
credited their own senses and debated
as to how many ships they had count

The Bulwark, which was one of the
