London. Jan. % (9:s5 D. m)--It was
officially announced at the admiralty
today that the British armored mor-

Ireland with all hands. The vessel

She has been missing for some
days and must now be accepted as
lost with all her officers and men.
The cause of her loss is uncertain, but
as some bodies and wreckage have
been washed ashore ON the north
coast of Ireland, It Is presumed that
