British Sloop of War
Halls American Coaster
Bv .issocidfcd Press

San Francisco, Aug 12.-The Brit
ish sloop of war Algerine was spoken
to at Cape MendoCino at 5 p. m. yes
terday by the American coaster
Beaver which arrived here from Port
land to-day. The Algerine was cleared
for action.
The AIgerine wig wagged the Beav-
er to approach and the two vessels
lay alongside while the captains
talked through megaphones for half
an hour.
As they parted the captain of the
Algerine said:
Don't tell the Leipzig where we are.
We're too small
On making port to-day, Captain
Mason of the Beaver, said he sighted
the Leipzig twenty miles outside the
heads and heard her wireless talking.
The probability is, as such communi-
cation is strictly forbidden under the
neutrality regulations enforced by
United States radio inspectors, that
the Leipzig was in touch with the
Nurnberg. which it is known, is also
scouting off the coast.
The Algerine reported that she was
without wireless and for ten and ahalf
days she had been lodging up the
coast from San Diego. Her captain
had no news of the war, and at first
was even a little skeptical that war
had been declared. He was glad to
hear that the Rainbow was safe, but
had no information as to the where
abouts of the sloop of war Shearwater,
the only other British vessel in these
waters.
A group of students returning to
University of California manned to the
sails of the Beaver as she drew away
and gave their college yell for the AL
gerine.

Steeial to The Telegraph

Boston, Mass, Aug. 12.-When the

rived here late yesterday from Banes,
Cuba, Captain Terjeson told the ship
news reporters and company officials
of having witnessed naval engage
ment last Thursday night in latitude
81 north and logitude "a west, about
$50 miles off San Salvador.
we were steaming along under a
bright MOON said Captain. Terjeson,
when suddenly there lopmed UP two
warships. Although we could not
make them out we were of the opin-
lion that one was British and the
other German.
"On our first glance we saw that
the one we believed to be the British
ship was firing her light broadside.
But the other changed her course.
the supposed English craft poured
bow guns into the other craft, which
raced off in an east by north direction.
replying with her stern guns. Both
craft fired steadily as they ploughed
through the sea.
"Never in my long experience
aboard ship have | witnessed so ap-
palling a spectacle. The great ships
with every inch of steam crowded on
were tearing along firing at one an
other. So fast did they go that it was
impossible for us to determine just
how much damage one did to the
other We were within sight of the
two for more than an hour despite
the fact that we were doing all in our
power to make a quick getaway"

British Cruisers Are
Keeping Strict Patrol

New York, Aug. 12.-The strictness
of the patrol established by the British
cruisers outside New York harbor was
demonstrated by the experience of the
Norwegian tank steamer Conrad
Mohr, which reached here to day from
Bergen and Shields.
The steamers captain said that he
was hailed last night by a three fun
neled cruiser. Apparently the steam
er did not stop or reply as quickly as
the cruiser desired, for a shot was
fired across her bow within a short in
terval of time. The steamer left on her
transatlantic trip before war was de-
clared and her officers were astonish-
ed at the summary action of the cruis-
er. They stopped Immediately but
were permitted to proceed after es-
tablishing the steamers identity.
At / o'clock this morning three
hours later, another cruiser exactly
like the first, bore down close along
side the steamer. fired a shot and
asked for the steamers name and ma
tionality. When these were given the
steamer was told to go ahead.

Senator Penrose Tells What II
Means to the People of the
Keystone State

Palmerism. as the jugglery with
federal appointments has come to the
known in political circles was scored
yesterday in Philadelphia.
Senator Penrose, in commenting
upon the factional fight in the Demo-
cratic Party yesterday made this
statement:
II do not think the statement can
be challenged that the present leader
ship is about the weakest in the his
tory of the party.
at is no wonder that discord pre-
walls when absolutely no effect has
been made to compromise with or con-
ciliate discord within the party All
over the state a very large section of
the Democratic Party, representing in
many instances the bone and sinew of
the party, has been treated in the
most brutal manner as regards the
distribution of patronage and the
management of party affairs.
Federal patronage has been award
ed from the narrowest possible point
of view to very narrow circle of So
called reorganizers.
II do not believe that in the history
of political parties in America there
has ever been exhibited such cold
booded, high handed bossism. The
State ticket and the Senatorial candi-
date were urged on in the White
House. / challenge a precedent for
this action in the ANNALS of parties,
except in the case when President Ar
thur forced Fogler on the Republicans
Of New York and was rebuked by an
