Leon Gambetta a Victim of U-5-Surviv0rs Tell
 Story
WAS ATTACK MADE IN
 ITALY'S TERRITORY?
Not Yet Ascertained if Cruiser Was Sunk in Waters of Italy-First Report of the Disaster
 Received in Italy

Brindisi, Italy. Tuesday, April 27. m. DeIayed.)-The French cruiser Leon Gambettn has been torpedOed by the Austrian submarine U-5 in the strait of Otranto, the waterway leading 10 the Adriatic sea.
 The first report of the destruction of this cruiser came from the sema- phore station off santa Marin Leuca. Relief vessels were sent out from Brindisi, Taranto. otranto and Bari.
 It has not yet been ascertained whether the attack occurred within the territorial waters of Italy.
 The Austrian submarine Us is the same craft that a few days ago boarded by it's prowess the Italian steamer Jo- landa.
 Since the beginning of the Anglo French operations against the Dardan- elles. French warships in the Adriatic have limited their activities to watch ing the Strait of otranto with the idea of preventing any Austrian submarine escaping from the Adriatic at the head of which is Pola the Austrian naval base, and reaching the coast of Tur- key.
 The submarine which attacked the Leon Gambetta came from Cattaro, on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, 800 This distance could have been travelled by the submarine in about 20 hours. It was learned here that the U-5 was sighted by fishing boats Monday.
 Three French cruisers last night were watching the strait between the Island of Corfu and the Italian coast This strait when the various islands are taken into consideration, does not meas ure more than 40 or 50 miles,
 It appears that the Us took up a po- sition about halfway between Santa Maria Leuca and the Greek Island of Othoni and waited for its prey.
 It is believed the Leon Gambetta had on board a crew numbering 714.men, in- cluding 22 officers. A majority of the men were asleep when the cruiser was struck

 The Leon Gambetta parted company with the French cruiser Jules Ferry last night to cross the Strait of Otranto to cooperate with the other French ships in an attempt to block the Aus trian fleet if it should seek to leav , the Adriatic.. Although the Leon Gam betta showed no lights and adopted the other customary precautions, there was no suspicion of danger.
 At midnight the warship was abou. 20 miles from Cape Santa Maria Leuca. At sea nothing appeared on the hori- zon.
 Suddenly there was a fearful explo- sion, which shook the cruiser fore and aft. Officers and men remained calm and, the survivors say. their first thought was not for their own safety, but rather to detect and attack their as- sailant They scanned the sea for a periscope, but in vain.
 AS the cruiser was listing rapidly the commander ordered signalling for help and lowered boats. Some of the men leaped overheard in the bare hops of saving themselves. Others wera washed off the deck. The commander refused to abandon his ship
 None of the survivors was able to say how long it was before help arrived. It was probable several hours elapsed

famous guiding, dear to the hearts of
all Southerners, is still standing,

miles an hour, and property valued at
millions was destroyed; yet the his

The Old French Market is a long,
low building with optn sides, and filled
with stalls where foodstuffs are now
sold. These quaint booths, many years
ago, were constantly crowded with the
most brilliant society of the South.

of morning, groups of coffee lovers
lowered about the little tables where
the old secret blend was served.

preserved by teh delightful coffee that
made it internationally known in
