BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 10.
The British fleet Of Vice Ad-
miral Sir Frederick Sturdee is
reported to have completed its
victory over the German fleet
by overtaking and sinking the
cruisers Nuremberg and Dres-
den. The report Of the over
taking and destruction Of the
two remaining vessels Of the
German fleet, was received
here today in . wireless from
Port Stanley.
AL attempts to get further
details Of the engagement Of
Tuesday morning through the
Montevideo wireless station
have failed. Montevideo is now
unable to communicate with
Port Stanley or get any con-
frmation of the brief state
ment that the Nuremberg and
Dresden have been sunk.
According to the informa-
tion received here, SIX British
cruisers were engaged with
the Germans. Nothing is known
as to the makeup of the
British squadron except that
it was accompanied by one
transport.
The battle which resulted in
the sinking of the German
cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneise-
nau and Leipzig started in Ar
gentine waters, but developed
into running fight which was
carried into the high seas and
the German cruisers are re-
ported to have gone down off

There are indications that unless
the Russians are able to strike q

resolve iteelf into a conflict similar
to that In France and Belgium with
each side strongly entrenched, and
unable to drive the other out.
The claim Of the Germans that
Przasnysz has been captured, would
indicate that the forces operating In
this section are meetino with greater
success than those which endeavored
to relieve Field MarshaI Won Hinden-

LONDON, Dec. 1o.-England has
reasserted herself and again assumed
her position az mistress Of the seas.
This 10 the general view taken in
London today tho result Of the
victory In the south Atlantic In which
the German cruisers Scharnhorst,
Gneisenau and Leipsig were sunk by
the squadron under command Of Vice
Admiral Sir Frederick sturdee. The
admiralty was overwhelmed today
with demands for additional details
OF the victory and news Of the cruis-
ers Dresden and Nurenden who .es-
capped during the engagement. There is
every confidence In London that these
vessels will be sunk despite their
speed.
Reports were circulated today that
in addition to the three cruisers sent
to the bottom, two others were badly
damaged. There was no confirmation
Of this report from the admiralty.
In the absence Of any mention OF
the German commander, Admirai Won
Spec, in the official report from the
admiralty, it 10 accepted today that he
went down with the Scharnhorst, his
flag ship. "Some" Of the crews Of the
Gnelsenau and Scharnhorst are de-
cIared to have been rescued. The
scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig
undoubtedly had more than 1000 men
