Naval Statutes.

The salutation given when a vessel
lowers or dips" it's flag is one of the
oldest and most honorable or all forms
of marine greeting.
This form of salute has always been
demanded in foreign ports, and exac-
ton has warmed the hearts and used,
up the powder of generations of naval
commanders. Statutes are essential
matters of naval etiquette and are
exchanged on an elaborate code fixed
by the maritime powers. The number
of guns to be fired in all circumstances
is infinitely stipulated.

TORPEDOES SUNK
THE AUDAC|OUS
German Spies Found British Fleet
Off Irish Coast.
NEWS CONCEALED FOR MONTH
Report That Dreadnaught Was Sent
to the Bottom by Own Crew
After Hitting Mine Is Denied
by Germany.

New York, Nov. 23.-The British SUI
perdreadnaught Audacious was sunk
by a torpedo discharged from a Ger
man submarine. This news was re-
ceived at Washington from an authori-
tative source in Berlin and the details
given fit closely with the reports that
came from eyewitnesses who saw the
disaster from the steamship Olympic.
The Audacious was hit twice, and
the second torpedo caused it's maya
zines to explode. This story refutes
the suggestion that the battleship was
blown up by it's own crew ito prevent
it becoming a menace to navigation"
as was stated after the disaster.
Learn of Fleets Base.
Last month the Germans through
their system of espionage learned that
the British battleship fleet was max
ing it's base at Tough Swilly, harbor
on the northwest coast of Ireland.
When this information was learned
by the German authorities small
squadron of submarines was sent out
to try and catch one or more of the
British battleships. The submarines
left Wilhelmshaven, and, carefully
lodging the mines, worked their way
north and then skirted the coast Of
Scotland, and on October &c had dis
covered the base at Tough Swilly.
Big Sea Running.
Early on the morning of October q
it was blowing a gale and a big sea
was running. In a measure this was
favorable to the submarine.
The scene when the tiny vessel of
destruction arrived was one to glad
den the heart of any commander of
such a vessel. Spread out before him
was the big British fleet. The subma-
rine took one look and then sub
merged. Again, little later, it came
to the surface, and was then only a
short distance from the Audacious and
within striking distance.
Torpedo Strikes Astern.
Just how many torpedoes were fired
from the submarine is not known, but
one caught the Audacious astern.
The submarine cleared out alto
gether and tried to make its way
home. Whether it reached it's parent
ship, which is supposed to be the Ber-
lin, formerly one of the transatlantic
passenger steamers, has not yet been
reported. The Berlin, however, has
reached Trondhjem, town on the
coast Of Norway, and it is said it has
been interned there.
