LONDON, Dec. 10.-(8:50 d. MY
The German cruiser Nurnberg, which
withdrew from the. battle off the Falk-
land Islands last Tuesday and at

the cruiser Dresden while the Brit
ish warships under Vice Admiral Sir
Frederick Dovetonl Sturdee were sink
ing the cruisers Schnarnhorst. Gnei-
senau and Leipzig, was hunted across
the water by units OF the British fleet
and sunk the same day.
This information was contained in
q statement OF the British official
press bureau made public today. The
statement added that search for the
Dresden was still proceeding.
Although the 6fiicial press bureau
says the. British men OF war are still
seeking for tlies last one of Admiral
von Specs yeasels, unofficial reports
received in Buenos Aires say the
Dresden has been cornefed IN the
tortuous Straits OF Magellan. WiIeth-
er these reports are. true or not IL is
believed in Admiralty circles here that

what faster Boat than any OF those
sunk in Tuesdayfg battle, eventually
will be brought, into action.
The battle in which the Casharn-
horst Gneisenau and Leipzig were
sent to the bottom, according to an

in three hours and the Gneisenau tw o

the ships of the German squadron had
an immediate effect on insurance

The impression prevails among nav

decided to enter the Atlantic and
make a run for home, hoping that at

the withdrawal of German troops to
strengthen the armies in the east, the
Allies have pushed their lines for
ward In many places.
The Germans continue their efforts
to smash the Russian armies. While
a large part OF their force is endeavor-
ing to hold the Russian center. another
army is advancing from East Prus-
sie to the east of Mlawa and Is at
tacking the Russian right in an ef-
fort to cut communications and enter
Warsaw through the back door
Heavy fighting is going on southwest
OF Lodz and southeast of Cracow,
where the Austrians and Germans are
enedavoring to get around the Rus
sian left and force these troops. to re-
tire from the fortress. The Germans
are repeating on a lage scale their
favorite tactics OF outflanking the
opposing forces. In this they always
have gained initial successes because
Of their ability, with better means
to move their troops quickly. The
Russians, however, heretofore have
met them with overwhelming num-
bers.
! The defeat of the Austrians by the
Servians is virtually admitted in the
Austrian official report, which says
that because they have met strong
hostile forces Austrian troops have
been ordered to occupy more favor
able positions.
This sudden turn of events in favor
OF the Servians is mystery, buttit is
possible they have received reinforce
ments from Russia or more guns and
ammunition from some friendly coun-
try; or 1t may be that some OF the
Austrian troops were withdrawn from
Servia after the occupation of Bel
grade. Whatever the cause, the
Servians have inflicted a severe de-
feat on the invaders.
Latest official reports from Berlin
say the German emperor's health is
much improved. 1t is believed the
bronchial attack to which he is SUBJ
ject at this time of the year, was we'll
under control before the fact of his
illness was made public and that he
probably will make a quick recovery.
General Louis Botha, premier and
commander of the defence forces of
the Union of South Africa, announces
that thel rebellion is crushed. Since
the capture of 700 rebels and the sur
render OF 200 others, fiye additional

have laid down their, arms. Only, one
