GOOD HOPE SUNK

LONDON, Nov. 6.-It was the Brit,
ish cruiser Coed Hope, Rear Admiral
Cfadock's f1agship, that foundered af-
ter being set on fire by shells from the
German wa-ships in the naval sbattle
on the Chilean coast last Sunday. The
cruiser Monmouth, which the Germ
ans said they had sunk. was badly
damaged and II is possible she is the
warship reported ashore today on the
coast of Grille. So far as is known none
CT the Good Hopes crew survived.
This was the news given out tonighS
by the admiralty just as the British
public was beginning to think Ger.
man accounts of the battle were ex-
aggerated. The only bit OF satisfac-
ton for the British is that their lit
tie Pacific feet chose to give battle
to a very much stronger squadron
and was not overwhelmed until the
last possible 3hot had been fired.
The British cruiser Glasgow, which
was with the Good Hope and Mon
mouth. also put uD fight against the
two German cruisers Leipzig and.
Dresden. and when her tigger sisters
were put out OF action managed to es-
cane.
