Berlin (via Rome), September 22.-
All telegraphic and telephone communi-

1t seems almost incredible that the

After Berlin, it is the second largest

During his three days stay in Kansas.
Colonel Roosevelt met and spoke to

Only the Wichita. Hutchinson and

Just the effect which the speeches

in Kansas is problematical. In the

FIGHT ON The SEA
German Cruiser Ruins q Brit.
isher at Zanzibar.
Artillery of Englishman Dis
abled in Is Minutes.

Cape Town. Sept. 22.-Further de-
tails have been obtained here of the
naval action in the harbor of Zanzibar
last Sunday morning when the British
cruiser Pegasus, under command of
Captain John A. Inglish, was attacked
and put ut of action by the German
cruiser Koenfgsberg.
1t seems that the Koenisberg ap-
preached Zanzibar harbor at full
speed at a. m. Sunday: She disabled
patrol boat with three shots, and
then opened fire on the Pegasus. Her
shooting was very accurate. She
commenced firing at 5000 yards, clos
ing in to 1000. The Pegasus replied
with all her guns, but her artillery
was disabled in fifteen minutes. When
her fire -ased there came a lull of
FIVE minutes. after which the Koen-
igsberg again opened fire for another
quarter of an hour. The Pegasus was
unabel to reply.
Nearly all the casualties on board
the British boat occurred around her
guns and on her upper deck. She was
badly injured on the water line and
listed heavily. Her flag was shot
away twice but each time it was raised
again and held up by her marines.
Apparently little or no damage was
suffered by the Koenigsberg.

Navy IS IN Line
Two Hundred British Warships
Off HelgOland.
So Close They Appear to Touch
Each Other.

New York. Sept. 22..-Two hundred
British warships lie in battle line off
the German naval base Of Helgoland
so close that at times they appear to
touch each other, according to Captain
Skelley of 10 British oil tank steamer
San Lorenzo, which reached New York
today from London.
For six weeks the San Lorenzo was
with this British fleet, her officers said,
as supply ship for the oil burning war
craft. She took them Is. 900 tons of fuel
oil.
The San Lorenzo was with the fleet
during the engagement with the Ger
/ an cruisers behind Helgoland, but
was not permitted to steam near
enough to see the fighting. Captain
Skelley said that a story was current
among the British sailors of the fleet
that the British admiral, Sir John r.
Jellicoe. was aboard the submarine
which sank the German cruiser Hela
recently. AS to this. however, he had
no knowledge further than the tale the
British bluejackets related to him.
Outside the Ambrose channel light
ship, at the entrance to New York har-
Dor. Captain Skelley said there were
two British cruisers and a Cunard line
steamer converted into an auxiliary
cruiser.

lowing details:
"Shrapnel began to smash through
the windows about noon; and four
nuns and three prisoners were killed.
About $50 Germans, closely packed
inside, were wounded by their own
shells.
when I left the great rose window
over the main entrance was not much
damaged, but all the wonderful thir-
teenth century glass on both sides was
ruined. The statue of the Virgin was
broken in two, while that of Joan of
Arc, outside, still stood though the
pedestal was smashed
The magnificent set of ancient tap
estry which hung in the cathedral of
Rheims, was removed before the bonn
bardment by officials from the office
of the under secretary of fine arts and
was in place of safety.
The worst damage done at the time
I left Rheims was to the left door, all
the sculpturs of which was then a
heap of stones. However, architec-
turally the cathedral was well pre-
served.
