Rome, via London. Aug. 24.-The

When we arrived at Hango a Rus
sian officer came aboard and told me
must take the ship into the middle Of

because the Alcor was a neutral ship,
but despite my protests the ship was
taken out and blown up to block the
channel. ! was told that the value of
the ship would be paid TO me when the
war was over.
We we're given only half an hour to
leave the ship before it was lynamited.
The Russians placed a large charge Of
dynamite in the hold and this was set
off by means of an electric battery.
The official information bureau said
today that the report alleged TO have

the Austrian battleship Zrinya had
been sunk recently in the Adriatlc by
a French fleet should be received with
caution. This report has not been

LOCAL RESIDENTS
CAUGHT IN PARIS
William Klockau, Sr., and Son,
Stranded in Europe-Fin-
ally Get Passports.

Walter Klockau, $50 Seventeenth
street, of this city, is in receipt of an
interesting letter from his brother
William, who is at present in Paris
with his father, William Klockau, Sr.
The missive is dated Aug. IA. The
last letter received prior to this one
was from Italy, about three weeks ago,
and for a time the family knew moth
ing of the Whereabouts of the tourists
and were worried about their location,
especially after war had been declared.
The contents of the letter follow:
Things are in a serious condition
here. 1t is absolutely impossible to
get train out of here, as all of them
are being used for military purposes.
Railroad tickets can not be bought at
any price. The United States consul
late is crowded daily with thousands
of Americans who wish to get out of
the city. On recommendation from
the consul we received passports from
the chief of police here and expect to
get a train out of here tomorrow. The
streets are filled with troops hurrying
to the frontier and business is at a
standstill. Nearly all of the stores
and shops are closed

most all of the refugees who are ar

interesting experiences to relate of his
trip through the warning countries.
Mr. Wittwer sailed from New York,
July 10, on the liner LaFrance. He
had spent just eight days at his native
town, Berne, Switzerland. when war
was declared. After securing advice
from the U. S. consul, he started for
Paris. He had several hundred dol

were worthless. Luckily, he succeeded
in cashing one, when paying his hotel
bill, having approximately 100 frances

succumb to the heavy artillery
Washington, Aug. 2f.-The German
embassy issued the following:
The French attempt to invade up
per Alsace has been frustrated by the
defenders. In Lorraine the French are
retiring from the frontier. The Ger
man people find the Havas French
news reports about so-called big
French progress most amusing and
just as false as some announced in
1870
The army north of Metz, under the
crown prince, advancing on both sides
of Longwy, has defeated and forced
back the French army. The other
army, under the Bavarian crown
prince, Rupprecht, which, as already
reported, won a victory in Lorraine in
pursuing the defeated enemy, has
reached a line from Luneville to Bla-
mont and continues today. The Ger
man guns since yesterday evening have
been laundering at Namur
Very soon some new Zeppelins will
be ready for work on the Belgian coast
and the English channel"

SIXTH OF CASUALTIES
OF GERMANS PUBLISHED

London, Aug. 24.-In a dispatch from
Copenhagen the correspondent of the
Daily Mail says the sixth list of Ger
man casualties was published Satur-
day. 1t contains the names of S23 kill
ed and wounded.
The heaviness of the German losses
in the war. the correspondent says, is
shown by the fact that only 100 out OF
1000 soldiers from Rostock returned
alive from Liege.
The stables on the Berlin race
course have been transformed into a
military lazaretto, and the race course
restaurant has ben made into a hos

and sweethearts were walking with
them, bidding last fareweiis. Over $50
milk depots owned by a German were
destroyed by mobs in the city, and
these riots were not stopped until the
police shot some of the leaders. II was
rumored about the city that this Ger
man had plotted to poison the inhabi-
tants of Paris by polluting the milk.
The German escaped from the city
with two suit cases full of money but
was captured near the border. He
succeeded in escaping to Germany,
however, but lost the money.
The train was on the way from Paris
to Havre for over so hours, the normal
running time being II hours. Mr..
Wittwer was lucky enough to share a
cabin with three other passengers.

the steerage. Four hours out Of Havre
the passengers saw the French and
British fleets.
Several nephews of Mr.. Wittwer are
