 On Eastern Battle Line.
 The Russian advances along the Vistula river toward Thorn and north of Przasnysz have been repulsed but no decisive battles have been fought. The arrival of spring, when the lakes in the Mazurian Lake district, will break up is expected to check the Russian advances upon that portion of East Prussia and liberate large German army which may be sent to France to meet the new British and French armies expected to take the field in the spring.
 To Relieve PrzemysI.
 Advices from Vienna state that a strong Austrian army is marching from Uszok Pass, in the Carpathians to relive the Przemysl siege.

LONDON, March 16.-Official ad- vices have been received by the Brit. ish admiralty from the commander of the British Atlantic squadron stating that the German cruiser Dresden has been overtaken by three British cruis- CTS off the coast of Chile and sunk last Sunday. It is reported that the German commander struck his colors five minutes after the British cruisers began firing. The official report of the chase is meagre and states that the crew of the Dresden were safely taken off the German ship and landed at Valparaiso.

Welcome News In England.

LONDON, March 16.-The report that the German cruiser Dresden has been sent to the bottom has been re- ceived here with manifestations of pleasure, and tends to offset the de pression due to the submarine raids against commerce in the British wa ters. The Dresden has taken a heavy toll from commerce and leaves only the Karlsruhe and Kron Prinz Will helm yet to be accounted for. The Eitel Fredrich, it is believed, will in tern in Newport News.

when the details of the capture are fully known that the Dresden will be found to have given good account of herself and gave up the fight only when her ammunition had been ex- hausted. The news that her crew were saved has lessened the sorrow occasioned by the loss of the Dres- den. Her brilliant dash for liberty following the naval fight off Falkland Islands, and her continuing to raid hostile commerce will live in the his tory of Germany.
