these adyices. closely following the
staten ent of the British admiralty
that the first news of the war might
be dnlayorabie. indicate there ha
bean more serious contact between
the naval forces OF Germany and Eng
land than those officially announced
By the admiralty.
The private report would indicate
hat vessels other than torpedo boats
were involved In the engagement and
that some of the more powerful boats
have suffered damage. Ii is possible
the British admiralty had knowledge
Of this naval engagement when the
prediction was made by Mr.. Churchill,
The private advices fail to state the
time the reported engagement took
place and the number of dead and
wounded is not included In the dis
patch.
