BLACK SEA VICTORY
IS CLAIMED BY BOTH
TURKS AND RUSSIANS
Powerful Goeben Badly
Crippled, Says Petrograd

A battle has been fought between Turk
ish and Russian warships in the Black
Sea. Both claim the victory The Rus
sian report says the cruiser Goeben was
badly damaged and fed The Turk state
ment says the Russians fed to Sebastopol.
Only two Turkish ships. the Goeben, of
$500 tonnage, and the Brcslau, former
German craft, are mentioned, while seven
Russian ships took part in the action.
Following is the official statement given

order, bringing the enemy to starboard
and opened fire at a distance of 40 cable
lengths (about five miles)
THE first salvo ofe12-inch guns from
the flagship Admiral Evstafry struck the
Goeben and caused an explosion amid
ships, setting her on fire. Following the
Evstafry, the other Russian ships opened
fire, the Russian guns giving an excellent
account OF themselves.
"a series of explosions was seen In the
hull of the Goeben, which opened fire
slowly. The enemy seemed not to have
salvos of their heavy guns, directing
them exclusively at the flagship. The
encounter continued for 10 minutes, after
which the Goeben withdrew and dlsap-
peared in the fog, taking advantage of
her speed.
THE Breslau took no part in the fight,
holding herself on the horizon. The
Evstafry suffered insignificant damage.
The Russian losses were a lieutenant, 3
ensigns and 20 sailors killed, lieutenant
and 10 sailors seriously wounded. and .
sailors slightly wounded"
This is the statement from Berlin:
"A Turkish fleet engaged a Russian
squadron, composed of two battleships
and five cruisers. off Sebastopol, accord
ing to an official report reaching Berlin
from Constantlnople today.
"One of the Russian battleships was
seriously damaged and the other vessels,
with the Turkish ships in pursuit, fled to
Sebastopol."

AGUAsCALIENTEs. Mex, Nov. co.
The city OF Queretaro, which has been
occupied by the troops of General Villa,
today was proclaimed the provisional
capital of Mexico. This action was de-
cided upon yesterday at a brief session
of the Aguascalientes convention, which
then adjourned after the appointment OF

public's affairs pending the establishment
of General Gutierrez and his government
at Mexico City.
General Gutierrez and the committee
will leave for San Luis Potosi this after
noon and then proceed to Queretaro tc set
up the new government. Colonel Cara
has taken a leading part in the affairs
OF the convention and probably will be
given a portfolio in the cabinet of Cen
eral Gutierrez
General Gutierrez has issued a formal
denial OF the Carranzista allegation that
either he or the convention had eX-
pressed wish that the evacuation of
Vera Cruz be delayed until the conven-
tions forces could take over the port He
pointed out that he had telegraphed to
the conventions agent in Washington
congratuating him on the fact that Vera
Cruz was to be evacuated, despite the
probability that 1t would be taken over
by the Carranzistas.
There are now three capitals in Mexico.
They are Mexico City, which has been
the seat of Government since the eX-
pulsion of the French; OrIzaba. In the
State of Vera Cruz. where General Car

ocourred-Teutonic Losses in
War Estimated at 1,25o,ooo.

With severe storms again raging
along the battle lines in West Flanders
and northern France, the German
pressure against the Allies front is
weakening. Snow is reported in the
region of the User, and there the two
armies have almost entirely sus-
pended infantry operations, while the
cannonade of the big guns is also de-
creasing in intensity.
An offensive movement by the Brit
ish in the vicinity of Arras is expected
in Paris, and there are indications that
the Allies are strengthening the
pressure of their lines on the Aisne.
Toward the French right wing the
Germans have gained ground, the
Paris War Office admitting that Chau-
voncourt, where French force suf-
fcred severely from the explosion of
a mine field, has been entirely
evacuated.
Berlin military circles estimate the
total German losses to date at
l,25O,OOO, according to Copenhagen
dispatch received in London.
Along the North Sea coast the
British and French warships are again
in action, and tho big naval guns have
demolished many houses occupied by
German officers, but little actual ad-
vantage has been obtained by this
work.
Three hours desperate battle along
the Bsura River has checked the
German offensive in Western Poland.
Won Hindenburg, reinforced with
fresh troops, has, however, marched
forward. so miles within Russian ter
ritory, and the general engagement
between the Warthe and Vistula
Rivers continues unabated. Petro-
grad, while admitting the German ad-
vance. believes that the new Ger
man movement against Warsaw has
been effectually checked.
Petrograd reports that progress is
marked in the advance along the
Czenstochowa-Cracow line and that
several of the Carpathian passes have
been retaken from the Austrians.
Berlin announces that the Russians
have been driven from their position
at Soldau, in East Prussia, 90 miles
back to the River Bug.
Turkish victories at three points are
reported from Constantinople, through
Berlin. The Turks have taken forti-
fed heights NEAR Azeb and repulsed
the Russians near Batum. Reports
from Petrograd, however, indicate
the Russians have pierced Persian
Armenia, where rout of the Kurds is
announced
Contradictory reports have been re-.
ceived of the naval engagement in the
Black Sea between the Russian and
Turkish ships. The Russian state
ment says the Goeben was struck
amidships by 12-inch she'll and was
seen to be ablaze. This is accepted
as indicating that the injury to the
cruiser may have been serious. The
Russians admit that the Goeben was
able to escape owing to her great
speed. The fire on board is said to
have been extinguished, but it is felt
certain that the Goeben's damages
will keep her out of action for some
