573 perish IN DISASTER

Petrograd, Oct. 14.-An official bull
letin issued yesterday announces that
the Russian armored cruiser Pallada
was torpedoed Sunday in the Baltic

On October 10. German submarines
were sighted in the Baltic Sea. The
same day, early in the morning. the
marines attacked the cruiser Admiral
Makaroff, which was searching a sus-
pected bark flying the commercial flag
of the Netherlands.
A submarine of the enemy launch
ed several torpedoes, which, luckily.
missed the mark and caused no damage
whatsoever to the cruiser.
"On October II, at 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon, the submarines of the en-
emy again attacked our cruisers Bavan
and Pallada, which were patrolling the
Baltic.
Although the cruisers opened a
very strong fire, one of the submarines
succeeded in launching torpedoes
against the Pallada, whereupon an ex-
plosion resulted and the cruiser sank
with all her crew.
The complement of the Pallada was
57S officers and men, and if all were
killed, as indicated in the preceding
dispatch, the loss to the Russian navy
is severe.
The Pallada was vessel of 1900
tons, with a speed of 21 knots, launch
ed at Petrograd in 1910. She was a
sister ship to the Bayan. The pallada
carried two Sinch guns, 6-inch guns,
