BIG BRITISH
 WARSHIP SUNK
GOLIATH TORPEDOED BUT TURKISH SHIPS ARE
 ALSO LOST.

LONDON, May l3-The British battleship Goliath has been reported torpedoed and sunk in the DardancIles with the loss of five hundred of the crew, but some retaliation has been accomplished by the sinking of two Turkish gunboats and a transport in the Sea of Marmora. The battIcship was sunk in some manner that has not been made clear but Ii is assumed to be by a submarine The sinking of the Turkish ships was performed after feat of the greatest daring. A submarine belonging to the Allies ran the guant.ct of the forts and travelled through the DardaneIies in- to the Sea of Marmora where it sue ceedcd in sinking the three ships. The loss of the Goliath is admittedly ser ious, especially as it entailed the loss of so many lives The ship was built in 1902 and was, therefore, old but she was of thirteen thousand tons dis placement.

LONDON, May 13.-The official an nouncement is made this morning that the Germans have again attacked the allied positions to the southeast of Ypres but that the attacks have been unsuccessful and terrible losses have been sustained by the enemy. The French have launched determined at tacks on the German lines south of Lille in the effort to break the hostile lines but for the present they have apparently not brought about the de- sired results. Their main attention was directed to that point of the Ger man front between Lens and Arras where the fighting was very severe, The French offensive is still proceed ing and with very good chances of bringing about very material conse- quences.

SECRETARY LANE TAKES
 THE SIDE OF BALLAINE.
Denies Charges Made Against Seward Man by So-Called Alaska
 Bureau.

SEATTLE, May 1S.-Secretary Franklin K. Lane of the interior de- partment has wired to John E. Bal Iaine in this city stating that Bal Iaine was never a candidate for a position on the Alaska government engineering commission. Mir. Lanes telegram disproves the charges aI- legged to have been made by Maurice D. Leehy of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce that Ballaine attacked the Alaska Bureau because it did not support him for a place on the commission. The Bureau has shown the greatest antipathy to Ballaine who accused it of having sought to secure the purchase of the Copper River railroad instead of the Alaska Northern. Many other Alas kans declare they have the very best reasons for believing that the Bureau did actually try to sell the Guggen- helm property to the government at the expense of Seward,

REPRESENTATIVE GETCHELL
 ARRIVES IN SEWARD.
Is Man Chiefly Responsible For the Changes Made in the Roden
 Mining Laws.

w. w. Getchell, member Of the ter ritorial house of representatives from the Second division, arrived in Seward last evening and will go west on the Santa Ana which is due to start to- morrow evening. After visiting mining property near Kodiak Mr. Getchell will return and go outside. He will later return to Nome
 The changes made in the mining law at this session are principally due to the work of the man who is now in the city. Amongst those changes is one confning each person to one power of attorney, letting the old as sociation claim assessment work re- main as it was before the Roden bil' was passed, arranging that two peo- pie cannot have the same claim stalk ed and so clouding the title, proyid- ing that fraction must be staked at the end of claim furthest from the Initial stake, limiting the length of a placer claim to 1920 feet to prevent the shoestring stalking on narrow creeks, and some other equally good alterations.
 Mir. Getchell states that the tax on gold is only one per cent of the net output on each claim after five thou sand dollars. The property in incor- porated towns is exempt from terri torial taxes with few exceptions like water, electric power, etc.

The German-American papers have made strong efforts to show that the act was justified and bitter feelings have been aroused. No one seems to dare to predict what the answer Of Germany will be to the de- mands. A refusal to apologize IS looked for in many quarters and that the United States cannot withdraw from the position taken up Is expect ed. so that a feeling of pessimism pre- vails in many quarters.

VIENNA, May l3.-The defeat of the Russian 3rd army in West Galicia is complete and the enemy is now in full retreat across the province with the Austro-German victors in pursuit. 1t has to be admitted that the enemy is retiring in fairly good order and making a determined fight to hold pack the following legions. In spite of this we are capturing great mum bers of prisoners and large amounts of munitions of war. The most re- markable effect of our victory, how ever, is that the Russian front in the Uzsok pass and at Sanok is wavering and may soon be in full retreat also. Should a general Russian retreat be ordered it will mean the breaking of the backbone of the Russian military power in the present war and the quick invasion of Russian territory from the south.
