BREAK OCCURS IN
 CORDOVA CABLE

The cable between Cordova and Val dez went down this morning at 9.3O, breaking off in the middle of mes sage It is not known what constitutes the interruption, as the Cordova office has not the the necessary instruments for making the required tests, but message received at the local office from Valdez, via Sitka and the wire Hess, states that tests are being made at Valdez, and will be completed about .3:3O.
 In the meantime communication be tween Cordova and the outside is cut off, and no messages are being ex- changed except by wireless to and from Sitka. Press dispatches, con sequently are light, the Times morn ing messages being on the wire when nt went down and only portion re- ceived. If the Interruption proves to be a break, messages will be for warded, so far as possible between Sitka and Cordova by wireless, and tomorrow may bring forth larger telegraphic service than has been re- ceived today.
 The Cordova cable has been in oper- alton for a little over five years, and this is the first interruption that has occurred in hat time.

MINING EXPERTS RETURN FROM
 KANT|SHNA

Among the passengers to arrive in Cordova on Tuesdays train were Messrs. r. B. Weeks and c. E. Ander- son, representing the United States Smelling & Refining Company, who have been in the Panama valley for the past three months and came as far as Chitina by automobile. They have with them about six hundred pounds of quartz samples gathered from some thing like twenty-five different pros poets in the Kantishna. They will sail south on the Mariposa taking these samples to Juneau, where they will be milled in the companys plant and then taken them down to headquar- ters at Los Angeles, which is the gen eral office of the company in the west
 Until the results of assaying are known, neither Mir. Weeks nor MT. Anderson desire to make any state ments of what they found in al quartz way in the Kantishna district, and even so the information is pri- vate until the company sees fit to make it public. The fact that both men expect to return there in April, however, augurs well for the camp for they would scarcely return if conditions were not to their liking and encouraging.
 They were in the Kantishna for several weeks under the guidance of Tom Lloyd and Commissioner Taylor of Kantishna and made complete maps of it's geological features, besides ex- amining multitude of prospects. They found coal of the common Ignite variety in the district, all of which Is mighty satisfactory in a base ore country, which MT Weeks says de- serbs the Kantishna mineralogy.
 Weeks is an ex-government geo. logist of many years experience. An derson is a mining engineer, whose study is the practical problem of min ing. Together they form the combi- nation that is particularly valuable to the interior Alaska and it is for this reason that more detailed state ments are awaited from them as soon as they are at liberty to talk.
 In Anderson's opinion, the real de- velopment of the interior waits the coming of the railway. He says that mining engineers will then be in de- mand and will be greatly needed. Until then they can do little, he be- lieves, because present transportation facilities makes the cost of labor ex- cessive and too costly to operate quartz mines to advantage.

GERMANS B0MBAR1 ENGLAND
WARSHIPS FIRE ON COAST CITIES
 AND ON FORTS AT HARTLEPOOI,

LONDON, Dec. 16-The German fleet made sudden dash into the North Sea today and shelled the seaside resorts of Wthersea, in Hull and Scarborough, in York, brining constern- tion to the inhabitants. After short lombard ment of each place the fleet went north along the coast and exchanged shots with the forts at Hartlepool in Durham, one of the principal shipping points on the western coast, and then disappeared in the east. Neither the vessels or the forts suffered any material damage from the exchange of shots.
 Withersea escaped from the bombardment practically uninjured, while Scarborough was somewhat damaged, several buildings have been badly shattered by the exploding shells. So far as known no loss of life occurred
 The raid of the German fleet along the English coast had aroused tremendous excite ment throughout the country and the people are demanding that the powerful British fleet be called into action instead of remaining prac-

tically idle, leaving the coast unprotected
 Up to this time the people of England have felt perfectly safe against attacks upon the coast by the German fleet, their fears having been confined to the possibilities of an airship bombardment but the events of this morning have proven that unless the German fleet is bot tied up effectively or destroyed a repetition of the raid, and on a larger scale, may create havoc with the coast cities of Eengland
 LONDON, Dec 15-It is impossible in this city to get details of the German naval raid on the English coast. From what meagre news has been made public it appears that three swift German cruisers slipped out from the German naval base, and, evading the British guard ships bombarded watering places along the English coast, killing number of civilians, and caus- ing some financial loss
 This bombardment of unfortified cities is a gross violation of the information rules of war
