German Report of Attack.

Berlin.-The following official de-
tails concerning the German squad
ron's attack on the east coast of En-
gland are published:
when approaching the English
coast our cruisers were unsuccessfully
attacked by four British torpedo boat
destroyers in misty weather.
THE batteries at Hartlepool were
silenced and the gas works destroyed.
There were several detonations and
three big fires in the town observed
from our ships.
THE coast guard station and water
works at Scarborough and the coast
guard station and signal station at
Whitby were destroyed.
Our ships received some shots from
the coast batteries, but suffered only
slight damage. Won Behneke."

Germans Raid British Coast.

For the first time in a century En-
gland has been struck by a foreign foe.
A squadron of swift German cruisers
'crept through the fog Wednesday night
to the eastern coast and turned their
guns against the Britons.
When day broke they began the
bombardment of three important
towns-Ha- tlepool, at the mouth of
the Tees; Whitby, thirty-five miles
southwark, and Scarborough, noted as
pleasure resort, fifteen miles be-
yond.
Hartlepool suffered most. There
two battle cruisers and an armored
cruiser were engaged and at this place
the greatest loss Of life occurred.
The British war office fixed the
number of dead ct Hartlepool as seven
soldiers and twenty-five civilians and
the wounded at fourteen soldiers and
fifty civilians. At Scarborough, where
battle cruiser and an armored
cruiser shelled the town, thirteen
casualties are reported, while at Whit
by two were killed and two wounded.
Men, women and children of the
civilian population were left dead or
wounded, struck without warning
while at breakfast or at work. In all,
according to official estimates, the
casualty list totals 10, of whom thir-
ty-one are known to be dead.
Three churchec were damaged, the
gas works and lumber yards at Hartle-
pool were set afire and the abbey at
Whitby was struck. The Balmoral
hotel at Scarborough received the full
effects of a shell. A number of houses
and shops were shattered and partly
burned in each of the towns.
The German squadron escaped in
the mist after an encounter with coast
guard vessels patrolling the neighbor-
hood, which were reinforced as soon
as the presence of the Germans was
signaled.
The official account of the attack,
with complete details from the war Of
flee, follows:
"At s a. m. Wednesday three of the
enemy's ships were sighted off Hartle-
pool and at Sis a. m. they com.
menced a bomDardment. These ships
appeared to be two battle cruisers and
one armored cruiser.
"At $50 o'clock the firing ceased
and the enemy steamed away. One
shell fell in the royal engineers lines
and several in the line of the Eigh-
zenith Service Battalion of the Durham
Light Infantry.
THE casualtie among the troops
amounted to seven killed and fourteen
wounded.
Some damage was done to the
town and the gas works were set Oh
fire.
During the bombardment, especial.
ly in West Hartlepool, the people
| crowded in the streets and approx
mately twenty-five were killed and
! fifty wounded.
"At the same time a battle cruiser
and an armored cruiser appeared off
: Scarborough and fired about fifty
shots, which caused considerable dam.

ported.
at Whitby two battle cruisers fired
shots, doing damage to buildings, and
the following casualties are reported:
