STORM|NG OF OSTRY MOUNTAIN SAID ID BE BRILLIANT FEAT
Austrian Sappers Are of Much Aid in Successful Engagement With
 Russians

Berlin, April e6.--tvia London, D. m) The storming by Austrian troops of ostry mountain, reported in the Austrian of ficial bulletin yesterday is described by a Tageblatt correspondent in the Car pathans as one of the most brilliant feats of mountain fighting of the war.
 Ostry mountain, with its sister height Swinnin mountain, stormed April 9. domi- mates the road and the railroad from Munkacs to Lemberg. Il is approximately $500, feet high with precipitious sides. The Russians had converted the mountain into a natural fortress, with rows of trenches and machine gun positions and it is ap parently impregnable.
 It's possession, however the correspond ent says. was deemed indispensable to open the way for an invasion of Galicia and to relieve pressure on Uzsok pass and on positions farther west. Orders were given to take it at any cost.
 Sap after sap was driven against the Russian positions at the rase of the ploded and all the resources of modern inlne WafldIe were enployeu tO uTlNe tilc Russians from their advanced positions. and to prepare way for storm against the summit, which was ordered for April 24
 The Austrians, commanded by General Hoffman, according to the correspondent. dashed from their positions and charged ,lp the precipitious height. Position after position was taken. Gaps torn in the Austrian lines by machine gun fire closed automa tically as successive waves Of troops swept upward to success which, the writer says, Hike the federal charge at Lookout mountain probably was be- yond the expectations of the comman- ders.' and the summit was occupied.
 The Russians resisted bravely and 10o occupied trenches.
 German troops, under General Hon- mans command meanwhile had cleared the heights to the west of the mountain top.
 This success, the Tageblatt correspond ent telegraphs, gives the Austrians and German complete control Of the Orava valley and advances the Austro-Hun- garian lines east of Uzsok pass about Il miles into Galician territory.
 The weather in the Carpathians Is now full spring, and it Is having the most inspiring effect upon the troops. Rus sian corpses uncovered by the melting snows, posion the atmosphere and cause the only drawback.
 Rains and floods still continue in South east Galica and Bukowina, hampering operations The Russian and Austrian Ines at some places are separated by Is miles of inundated country.

Newport News, April 26.--The Ger man commerce destroyer Kronprinr Wilhelm. will he informed for the war in American waters at the request of her commander, Lieutenant Captain TbierfeIder. Notice of his intentions was given by the German officer to Collector of Customs Hamilton late to- day in this message;
 Herewith I have to officially inform you that I intern
 Commander Thierfelder later amplified verbally this message by saying it had been his intention to attempt the dash for sea past the allied warships off the Virginia capes, but that tne continued illness of more than 60 members of his crew would make that move impossible before the expiration of the time limit set for his departure from this neutral haven. It was understood the Wash ington government had allowed the com- fnaIf1er until minght, April 30, to repair his ship and put to sea.
 The commander told the collector that his surgeons had informed him today there was no prospect for the early re- covery of the sailors who are suffering with beriberi, and added that his snip could not be properly manned with so many of her crew incapacitated.
 The United States government will maintain d naval and military patrol around the Wilhelm until she is taken to the Norfolk navy yard, there to be laid up near the Prinz Fiitel Friedrich another German sea rover. which was interned nearly a month ago. It was said tonight the vessel probably would not be moved to the navy yard before Wednesday.
 Commander Thierfelder's notice to Col leeter Hamilton came unexpectedly. Early in the day the Wilhelm, which had been anchored in the harbor since leaving the shipyard last week, was lowed to coal pier and began loading several thousand tons of coal,
 This fact, together with reports that she had been granted sufficient provi- sions to carry her to the nearest Ger man port, caused the belief In some quar- ters that the cruiser was preparing to depart The loading of the coal con tnued after the notice of the comma nder had been given. The vessels bhnlxers will not be filled before late tomorrow.
 The Wilhelm, formerly a North Ger man Lloyd passenger liner, plying be- tween New York and Bremen. arrived here April II. after spending eight months in the South Seas Several times she was reported destroyed, but she eluded many hostile warships which sought her and destroyed lS merchant vessels of the allied enemies of Germany and one neu- tral vessel, a Norwegian bark.
