Big Naval Battle Reported.
London. Aug. 5.-A naval battle is
reported to have been fought off the
coast OF northern Scotland. in the
North sea. A message from Comarty,
in the County OF Aberdeen. says that
many wounded men are being brought
ashore there and that surgeons from
all the country around have been
called to attend them.
Numerous reports from the Scottish
shore have told of the sound Of heavy
firing. but none could tell what 1t
meant II was believed that a French
and a German feet had met, but it is
not known that any French warships
are in these waters. r,-- .,.
British and German Fleets Meet?
There is a possibility that a por-
ton OF the German battleship feet ia
In collision with the British feet, al.
though 1t has been thought that the
Germans had concentrated all their
fighting craft at either end OF the
Kaiser Wilhelm canal at Kiel and
Wilhelmshaven. .....
Special trains have been chartered
here for surgeons and nurses, but the
officials refuse to say where they are
bound, or for what emergency. 1t is
believed here that they are to assist
In caring for the wounded in the naval
battle which, II is persistently ru-
mored. was fought 1t can only be con-
iectured what ships may have been en-
gagged, as all the powers days ago
stopped giving out information of the
movement OF warships.
II is also rumored that the surgeons
and nurses are being sent In advance
to the scene OF a naval battle for
which orders were signaled TO the feet
Immediately on the declaration OF war.
