A representative of the Cunsrd Line
said last night that the Lusitania was
not of Bar Harbor, Ne, as was report
ed yesterday.
"There is not the slightest founda-

position it would be impossible for the
Lusitania TO get anywhere near the
American coast. She will arrive IN
Liverpool Monday afternoon.
The Franconia, lying in her dock IN
Boston. got message from the Lusl-
tania saving that on Thursday she had
sighted a cruiser, but in the misty
weather was unable TO make out her

and was not pursued. This message

FRANCE CANNOT

Paper Declares That Is the
Meaning of Alleged Tri-
umph in Belgium.

Amsterdam (via London), Aug. Sin
Berlin there is great rejoicing over a
report that Liege has fallen. A dis
patch received from the German capi-
tai says:
"The news of the fall of Liege
spread with lightning rapidity through
cut Berlin and created boundless en-
thusiasm. The Emperor sent an aide
de-camp to announce the capture Of the
city to crowds that assembled outside
the palace"
Berlin has been celebrating "the fall
of Liege," but reports from other quar-
ters indicate that the German troops,
having failed to take the fortresses by
frontal attack, are attempting to get
around them. This is hazardous un-
dertaking, as the Belgian guns cover
the roads.
Policemen on bicycles dashed along
Inter den Linden proclaiming the joy
full tidings. Imperial Chancellor Beth
mann-Hollweg drove to the castle to
congratulate the Emperor on the vic
tory and was enthusiastically cheered
along the way.
The newspapers say that false reports
which are known to have been circu-
lated in foreign countries to the effect
that the Germans suffered severe re-
verse before Liege will no longer serve
to conceal Germsny's triumphs. "The
Lokal Anzeiger" says Of the reported
victory:
at confirms our confidence that we
can calmly await coming events. 1t
was the prelude to deeds which will
be spoken of as long as men live on
earth"
Another paper comments as follows:
when our soldiers in the field learn
of the surrender of Liege they will
rejoice not only for the victory of our
arms but because of the assurance IL
gives that our march through North

Pursued several miles in the lower
bay. the Clyde liner Pswnee, bound OUT
for Philadelphia, finally slowed down
at the mouth of Ambrose Channei d.
20 last night, when the torpedo boat
destroyer Drayton manned bow gun
and threatened to fire.
The Pawnee, which flies the Ameri-
can flag, was first sighted on the
Brooklyn shore about 9 o'clock by a
watch on the battleship Florida
anchored off Tompkinsville, as mem
ber of the coast patrol, which IS pre-
serving neutrality in American waters
A minute later a gun loaded with
blank shell barked from the side OF
the dreadnought, but the Pawnee'
which was in darkness, continued
toward the sea at a speed of about
eighteen knots.
Two more blanks we're fired, but the
Pawnee kept on.
Word was passed to the Drayton, ly-
ing south of the Florida, and the de-
stroyer weighed anchor and started in
pursuit. The Clyde liner was over
hauled off Coney Island, and the COM
mand to stop signalled by Lieutenant
Commander Freeman, in command
There was no reply. A second and
third signal brought still no response,
BY this time the pursuer and pur-
sued were so close together that con-
versation in loud tones could be carried
on through a megsphone. The Pawnee

II remained silent and maintained her

remained silent and maintained her
speed. ......,..
Then Lieutenant Commander Free
man gave the order TO man the bow
gun. Almost instantly the speed of the
liner began to decrease. When nearly
at standstill the captain of the coast
wise vessel found his voice. He de-
nounced as an outrage the action of
the warship in hating his voyage. An
exchange of angry arguments followed,
which lasted even after the Pawnee
had been convinced that to turn about
and return to port was the only course
possible.
The coast watch asserted last night
that the Pawnee was loaded deeply,
and they felt sure she had ammunition
in her hold. At any rate, it was main
tanned, the action of the captain in
sailing out under cover of darkness,
with no lights, and his refusal to stop
and explain his course, was sufficient
cause in these times to justify turn
ing the ship back to port.
Later the Pawnee was permitted to
proceed on her voyage.
The incident arose from the Pawnee's
neglect to comply with the port regu-
lations instituted to insure against vio-
lation Of the neutrality laws.
All outgoing vessels at night are re-
auired to pass near the battleship Flor
ida, off Tompkinsville, and make their
identity known.

London, Aug. s.-British forces have
seized the port Of LONE, German Togo

rendered South Togoland, sevsnty-hve

The British authorities are taking
the greatest precautions to prevent the

Liege, Aug. 6 delayed in

consecutive account of the as
sault of Liege by the 7th and
10th Army Corps, beginning last
night and coming to an inglori-
Gus finish this afternoon with the
capture. by the Belgians of nu-
merous prisoners and seven field
guns and the death of more than
1000 Germans and the wound
ing of many times that number.
The Germans were astonished
to find the resistance OF the de-
tenders of Liege so strong. Their
commanders held a careful con-
sultation and then determined to
continue the attack from the
north and southeast of Liege,
which was protected in those di-
rections by the forts of Norchon,
Evegues, FIeron, Chaudfontaine,
Embourg and Boncelles.
Advancing all along this front
last night, the Germans were
constantly exposed to a raking
FIRE by the mobile artillery, occu-
pying an irnprovised cover in the
spaces between the forts, but
hidden to such an extent that it
was impossible to direct the ar
tiIlery at them successfully. The
Germans also were subjected to
the terrific havoc of barbed wire
entanglements and mines, which
il was impossible to see in the
darkness; but, despite the falling
