DENIES DRESDEN SANK
IN NEUTRAL WATERS

Valparaiso, Chilli, March 1S.-In the
first detailed account of the battle of
Robinson Crusoes island Lieutenant
Fielding OF the British cruiser Drama

THE Dresden was about twelve
miles of the point Of Juan Fernandez
island when we sighted her." said
Fielding. I'VE at once gave chase.

close behind and the Drama trailing
slightly In the rear
THE Glasgow closed in to short
range and opened fire. She fred sew
eral shots before the Dresden's guns
got into action. All the time the Ger
mans were running in toward the
coast
"The Kent swung in to head her
of. Before the Kent opened up on
her the Dresden's upperworks were
afire and 1t was plainly seen that her
raiding days were over. The Kent
had fired less than half dozen shells
when the Dresden ran up the white
flag.
THE story that she was sunk in
Chilean waters is nonsense. That can
be disproved by locating her hulk"

BLOCKADE EXPENSIVE
TO UNITED STATES

Washington, March 1S.-That Eng
lands attempted justification of her
German commerce embargo will meet
with no response in administration
circles is plainly indicated.
The claims that the order in coun-
Gil parallels the North's action In the
Civil war Is to be ignored. Persons
enjoying the confidence OF the admin
istration insisted there was to be no
change In the program.
Emphatic protest will be made
against interference with Americas s
oversea trade that is not contraband
of war The United States will re-
linquish no right it enjoys to force
payment of full damages for any vio-
lation of its recognized and treaty
rights.
Senators Smith and Walsh, after
comforting with President Wilson and
Secretary of Commerce Redfield, es-
timated that stoppage of German
imports to the United States even un-
der existing conditions will mean a
loss in custom duties alone OF more
than 100000 daily.
