LAST GERMAN RAIDER
DESTROYED BY BRITISH
KOnigSberg Sunk by Monitors
in German East Africa.

LONDON - The River RuflJl,
which flows through German East AT
RIGA and empties into the Indian
ocean, was the scene of a naval en-
easement between two British river
monitors and the German cruiser
Kcnigsberg on July 4. The Konigs-
berg. which is the last of the Ger
man sea raiders, was partially de-
st.oyed but not until her guns had
killed four British sailors A week
later the river monitors returned and
completed the work of destruction.
The admiralty issued the following
statement regarding this exploit:
On July 4 the British river mont
tors Severn and Mersey entered the
River Rufiji and opened fire on the
German cruiser Konigsberg, sheltered
there since October. The KONG sberg
replied and her shells struck the Mer-
sey twice The monitors guns hit
the Kon@sberg six times and after
six hours of intermittent firing aer-
ia! scouts reported that the cruisers
masts were still standing. A Salvo
from the monitors started a fire amid
ship on the Konigsberg and one gun
which had been firing up to this time
was silenced.
During the action the Konigsberg
probably was incapacitated
H. Nj. S. Weymouth supported the
monitors and H. Nj. S. Pioneer en-
gagged the guns at the mouth of the
river. On July II further attack re-
suited in the total destruction of the
kCnigsberg.
During the first attack four British
sailors were killed and four were
wounded by one shell which struck
the Mersey. During the second at
tack two men on the Mersey were
wounded.

BULGARs ATTACK FRENCH
Principal servlan Army Has Now
Been Driven to Border and Allles'
Position Now Objective.

London.-The Bulgars appear to
have abandoned definitely, for the
time being, their advance ON Monastir
to attack the French positions on the
Cerna where fighting has already been
reported So far the French have held
their positions. but Saloniki dispatches
hint that it may be necessary to with
draw from Krivolak to the southwest,
where British.French re-enforcements
are being concentrated.
While the results of these move
ments are being watched with some
anxiety, better news from the allies
point of view comes from the north,
where big Russian army is massing.
1t is reported that Gen. Alexei Kuropat-
kin is to command this Russian army
Of invasion, which will either be sent
up the Danube or allowed passage from
Roumania to attack Yarna from the
land side. Other Russian forces are
being organized at Odessa and Sebasto-
pol, and doubtless will be sent either
to the Bulgarian or Turkish coast.
1t is reported from Switzerland that
the Austro-Germans are sending re-
endorsements into the Balkans to meet
this new Russian offensive, but other
sources state that these REINFORCE
ments are en- route to the western
front because the Balkan campaign Is
having a direct effect on all fronts.
In Galicia the Austro-Germans are
attacking in the hope of compelling
the Russians to divert a part of the
Bessarabian army thence. While the
Austrians, opposing the Italian often
siye on the Isonizo, are unable to get
assistance, they are counter-attacking
with terrific fury, and thus far have
prevented the Italians from capturing
Gorizia. which has been hard pressed
for nearly a week.

ROUMANIA IN LIMELIGHT
Refusal Of Passage to Teutonlc Troops
Down the Danube River May Bring
Forth a Crisis.

London.-The Austro-Germans have
had to divert part of their armies
down the Danube to the Roumanian
border, Roumania having refused the
German request for the opening Of the
Danube throughout its entire length
to enable the Germans to send sup
plies to Bulgaria and Turkey. Rou-
mania insisted that armed ships must
not pass Bahia. which is on the Danube
at the oumanian-Bulgarian frontier.
With the concentration Of the Rus
slams. too the attitude of Roumania is
becoming daily more pro-ally, and the
Austro-Germans, having aided Bulga-
ria in her campaign against Servia.
which is now cleared. is called upon
to protect her against aggression from
the east.
Russian warships. including new
dreadnaughts, again have been seen
OF the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria,
but there is no news of any landing
or movement Of troops.
On both the eastern and western
fronts the artillery. as was the case
last winter, is doing the heaviest part
Of the work. and It appears doubtful
whether either side will attempt an
early offensive.
Italy. on the other hand. undeterred

The Turks have again been showing

However, no big action has been
fought.
German anxiety over Roumania Is
now matched by that of. the allied pow
ers with regard to Greece. II was be-
lieved that all difficulties between
Greece and the allies had been sur
mounted. but now II has been found
necessary to send another note 10

NEW PHASE IN BALKANS
Central Empires May Be Forced To

London.-The campaign in the near
east is about TO enter new phase,
upon which the visits of Lord Kitch-
ener to Paris and Emperor William to
Vienna, 1t is believed. will have an i'm
portant effect.
Lord Kitchener, after visiting the
Balkans and Italy. has arrived at Paris
for conferences with the French staff.
while the German emperor has gone to
Vienna to see Emperor Francis Joseph
and discuss with the Austrian generals
what the next move will be.
Presumably 1t is a question whether
the central powers will attack the An.
glo-French forces in Southern Servid
or concentrate in Western Bulgaria
TO meet the threat of a Russian inva.
sion and the possibility Of Rumania
taking sides against her old enemies,
Bulgaria and Turkey.
So far as Servia is concerned, win

end to any important movements, al

With the retreat of the greater part

WHEAT SEIZED BY CANADA

GERS Over 100000 900 Bushels Of
High Grade Grain.

Ottawa-The Canadian government
has Communicated all high-grade
wheat in elevators from Fort William,
on Lake Superior. to the Atlantic
coast.
The action was taken by the Cana
dian Grain Commission under the spe-
cial war act. The wheat seized was
OF grades l hard and /, and 3 north

all which was in public elevators at

Prescott. Quebec. St. John. Montreal
and Halifax.
A revised estimate places the
amount at about 100000 bushels. A
considerable amount is the property
OF American grain dealers.
II is stated officially that the price
will be fairly adjusted and the grain
owners promptly paid by the Cana
dian government. II is estimated that
there still is in Canada In the hands
OF the farmers and dealers west OF

THIRTY KILLED IN
DUPONT EXPLOSION
HOLE IN GROUND ALL LEFT
WHEN FOUR TONS POWDER
LETS GO.
EXPLOSION IS A MYSTERY
Powder Was Being Packed For Ship
ment to Warning Natlons-6Iast
Rocks the 5randywlne
Valley.

Wilmington.-Thirty workmen were
killed and seven fatally injured when
tour tons of black powder exploded at
the Upper Hagley yard Of the DUPONT
Powder Company The cause OF the
blast is not known. A statement is
sued by the company said the origin
will probably always remain a mys-
terry"
Nearly all the victims of the blast
were young men, between 10 and Il
years of age Most Of them lived in
and about Wilmington.
The explosion was in a packing
house where black powder pellets are
prepared for shipment to the warning
nations. The packing house was one
Of large group Of small buildings
which make up the Upper Hagley
plant, about three miles northwest of
the city.
The blast rocked the Brandywine
Valley and shook and startled Will
mington. Workmen ran from every
building and shack in the wide area
which the company's plant covers. A
great column Of smoke rose from the
spot where the packing house stood
and when the cloud disappeared there
was only big hole in the ground.
Twenty-six men were In the mouse
that disappeared. The others killed
and the wounded were hit by flying
debris.
The pellet packing house was a one
story frame building, Is by 20 feet,
and was divided into six rooms. Near
by buildings were damaged. Company
officials said the property loss was
small.
One theory advanced by worKmen
is that the explosion may have orig
mated in spark from a horses shoe
or from spark caused by a small car
running over some spilled powder. A
workman said that just before the ex-
plosion car in which there were
several thousand pounds OF black pow
der had been drawn by two horses
along a narrow gauge track to the
entrance Of the packing house to be
prepared for shipment The powder
is packed into boxes holding about so
pounds each.
