American-Pac waters are the small
cruiser. SheaEwatsr, the slOop of war
Algerfne, and the cruiser Rainbow. At

Rainbow departed from San Francisco

been in the vicinity was the German
protected cruiser Nurnber:s, which had
been on Mexican duty at Manzanillo,
but on July 80 was reported in mid

last reported farther south in Mexican
waters at Acapulco. No news received
today served to identify the wreckage
cast up near San Francisco.
The Rainbow belongs to the navy of
the Dominion Of Canada. She was
built In 1891, bought for naval pur-
poses in 1901. and converted into a
cruiser. She is sheathed and coppered,

In an effort to avoid this delay di-

There is absolutely no direct

Austria by any routing. A few
censored dispatches are coming

since then only fragmentary signals
have been exchanged over that

Inability to SECURE wireless COM

the increasing vigor OF the Lon
