GERMAN SUBMARINE
U-29 SUNK, REPORT
Dutch Steamer Sent to Bot
tom Off Beachy Head
by the U-2S.

London, March 25.-"The Admiralty
has good reason to believe that the
German submarine U-29 has been sunk,
with all hands, This news was pub
lished in the foregoing official form
late this evening. The Admiralty gave
no details of how or where the U-29
was sunk, but the report that she was
disposed of was received in shipping
circles with a sigh of relief.
1t was this vessel which, just fort
night ago, torpedoed six steamers in
the Bristol Channel and off the Scilly
Islands within two days. Her COM
mander, who spoke English perfectly
and who treated the crews of the tor
pedoed vessels with great considera-
tion, told one of the merchant cap
tains who was taken aboard the sub
marine, that he was the commander Of
the submarine which torpedoed the
British cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and
Hogue. If this was true, he was the
man looked upon as Germany's most
daring submarine navigator.
This makes the sixth German sub
marine that the British Admiralty has
reported sunk, five of them at least by
British warships. In only one case so
far has the British report been denied
by the Germans. Besides these, a
French warship recently sank a sub
marine off the French coast. and three
British merchant captains have put in
claims for the rewards offered for mer-
chantmen ramming German underwater
craft. One of these claims, that of the
captain OF the steamer ThOrdis, has
been allowed by the Admiralty and the
reward paid.
The Dutch steamer Medea was sunk
Oft Beachy Head this morning by the
German submarine U-2S. She carried
cargo of oranges, and was bound
from Salonica for London.
The Medea was stopped by the sub
marine and the crew were given fifteen
minutes in which 70 leave the vessel.
They did so. and the submarine then
fired several shots at the steamer,
which remained afoat for an hour. The
crew rowed about in their boats until
picked up by destroyer, which
brought them to Dover. The Admiralty,
in reporting the sinking of the Medea,
says:
THE ship was flying the Dutch flag
and had a Dutch crew aboard. Her
name, Medea, Amsterdam was painted
in large letters on her sides The
ships papers were taken by the Ger
mans. who refused 10 return them"
The trawler Alprecht was also at
tackled By a submarine to-day. A tor
pedo passed within ten feet of the
fishing boat while she was crossing the
Channel. A British patrol boat chased
the submarine, which, however, disap-
neared

u. S. SUBMARINE AND
CREW THOUGHTLOST
F-4, with 25 Men Aboard, Sinks
Outside Honolulu-Efforts
to Raise Her Fail.

Honolulu, March 25.-It Is feared
that the American submarine F-4, with
all the twenty members Of her
crew. has been lost outside the harbor
here.
All attempts to grapple the vessel,
which has been submerged since 9:l5
this morning, have failed. although it
was reported late tonight that II had
been located, lying at depth of 100
fathoms.
No signal bells have been heard
from the submerged craft, and this
fact leads 10 the fear that the sub
marines tanks may have burst, suffo-
eating the crew with sulphuric acid
fumes.
The F-4 carries a crew of twenty
five men, and is commanded by Lieu
tenant Alfred l.. Ede With three sis
ter craft, the /, ? and 3, of the "F"
group, the vessel has been stationed
here.
Naval officials are stiff hopeful that
no serious mishap has befallen the F-4,
but they admit that the circumstances
of the crafts prolonged disappearance
give occasion for apprehension.
Seattle. March 25.-The submarine
F-4 was launched here on January 6.
1912. and was the first craft of the
kind built by the Seattle Construction
and DrydOck Company. She was sub
merged twenty-four hours at her build
ers' trial. Her cost was 100000. Sub
merged the vessel displaced 400 tons of
water. She was designed for a cruising
radius of 2,400 miles and was fitted
with four torpedo tubes.

Vile, n. YD-Lady Paget, chief of the
British Red Cross Mission in Serbia, is
reported by a Serbian daily newspaper
TO have died from spotted typhus fever
according to a news item given out to-
day by the Overseas News Agency.
The only Lady Paget who has been
mentioned in connection with relief

During her residence at the British
Legation in Belgrade Lady Paget be
came deeply interested in Balkan life
and the welfare of the Serbian people
and was one of the principal organ
izers Of the hospital service in Serbia
during the Balkan war. When the
present war broke out, though in fraiI
health and against doctors orders, she
insisted on leaving England to resume
on a larger scale the work so splen-
didy carried on for two years among
people to whom field HOSPITALS before
her advent were institutions unknown
The deplorable sanitary conditions
existing throughout the kingdom have
frequently been described in cable dis
patches. One of the most terrible re-
suits of the indifference among the
people to sanitation is the vlrulenl
form of typhus, commonly called
spotted fever, to which, according to
the above dispatch, Lady Paget has
succumbed 1t is believed to be trans
mitted by field lice. and out of six
teen American doctors and nurses
eleven have been stricken. The ravages
of this plague have been so great that
the Rockefeller Foundation and the
American Red Cross have each given
S25 900 to combat its progress. Sin
Thomas Upton also has been aiding
largely with money and supplies in the
campaign to stamp out the scourge.

Red Cross doctors and nurses are dis

Serbia so far at $4,000, and says sixty

typhoid is spreading rapidly. How
gravely the situation is regarded was
expressed to-das in this statement

NUTMEG WOMEN LOSE
Connecticut House Unanimous
in Opposition to Suffrage.

Hartford, Conn. March 25.--The
woman suffrage bill was killed in the
House to-day by unanimous vote and
without comment from any member.
Hopes of the suffragists for referen-
dunn were thus blasted and they must
wait at least two years to start the
machinery in motion again.
The bill rejected is similar to an
other resolution which has been voted
on unfavorably by the committee and
will be reported in the House next
week. To show just what blow has
been dealt to the suffrage cause the
Connecticut constitution requires that
for amendment resolution must pass
one house. pass both at the next Leg
islature and obtain a majority oil votes
