CREW OF TWENTY THREE SAVED

Amsterdam, April 16-The Neither
lands steamer Katwyk, from Balti-
more to Rotterdam, was torpedoed
Wednesday evening, while anchored
seven miles to the west of the Norts
Hinder lightship in the North Sea
The crew of % men were saved and
taken aboard the lightship. The Kat
wyk was a freight steamer. Built in
1903 she was 1887 net tons and PSI
feet long She sailed from Baltimore
March % for Rotterdam and passed
Dover the 14th. She carried 1l6,SS3
bushels of corn consigned to the
Netherlands government.
A dispatch to Reuters at London
from Flushing reports the arrival
there of the crew of the Katwyk The
men say that while the night watch
was being changed severe shock
was felt and the ship began TO take
water AS the steamer was sinking
the crew took to the boats and while
rowing away saw the periscope of a
submarine which quickly disappear
ed The Katwyk sank 10 minutes
after the explosion.
Reuters Amsterdam correspond
ent says the Katwyk had been lying
at anchor for Is minutes when she
was torpedoed on the port side. The
correspondent says a message receiv
ed from the Hook of Holland de-
clares that all the ships lights were
burning at the time of the attack
After the torpedo struck, the Katwyk
caught fire and only the ships pap
ers could be saved.
The sinking of the Dutch steamer
Katwyk is considered at The Hague
the gravest incident fthe submar

Dutch government. to which the car
go of grain on board the steamer was
consigned says dispatch from the
Netherlands capital. While avail
ing further details of the torpedoing
of the Katwyk the ministerial depart
ments concerned discussed the mat
ter yesterday, but declined to make
9 statement
The Amsterdam Telegraai, com
menting on the occurrence says: I'VE
must expect that the German govern
ment will, without loss of time. be
made responsible for this severe viol
alton of the rights of neutral powers.
The talk of there being pyrites
among the cargo of grain or that the
ship was about to be chartered by
the British government cannot be
discussed The plain fact is that
Dutch ship chartered by the Dutch
government has been torpedoed off
the Dutch coast by a state pretend
ing to maintain friendly relations
with the Netherlands. How many
similar proofs of friendship must we
receive before we declare we prefer
open enmity?"

BRITAIN FOR

Justice of South American Gov
ernment Protest Admitted
CRUISER READY TO INTERN
Offending Nation, However, Con-
tends that Chile Was Not in Posi-.
lion to Enforce Her orders.

London, April 1G.-The British gov
ernment, has offered "a full and am.
pie apology to the Chilian govern
ment for the sinking on March IA in
Chilian territorial waters OF the Ger
man cruiser Dresden, the interrment
of which had already been ordered
by the Cumberland Bay maritime
governor when the British squadron
attacked and sank her. This fact
was made public last night in a
white paper, giving the texts Of the
Chilian note protesting against the
sinking of the Dresden and the Brit
ish governments reply.
The note delivered by the ChiliaE
minister to Great Britain says that
the Dresden anchored in Cumberland
bay Juan Fernandez island) March
3 and asked permission to remain
eight days for the purpose OF repair
ing her engines. which were said to
be out of order, The governor re-
fused the request, as he considered
it unfounded, and ordered the cap
tain TO ieave the bay within "a hours
AS the order was not complied with,
the captain of the Dresden was i'll
formed that his ship was interned
When the British squadron appear
ed on March II the governor was
proceeding to the cruiser Glasgow to
inform the British officers of the
steps he had taken, but he had to
turn back, as the British ships open
ed fire on the Dresden. on which
flag of truce had already been hoist
ed and called on her captain to sur
render The captain then gave or
ders to blow up the magazine of the
Dresden. This act of hostility COM
mitted in Chilian territory waters by
British naval squadron" says the
Chilian minister, has painfully sur
prised my government"
The British government, in it's re-
ply, expresses regret that a nisunder
standing arose and adds: "On the
facts as stated in the communication
of the Chilian minister the British
government is prepared to offer a
full and ample apology TO the Chilian
government II is, however. point
ed out that according to the British
information the Dresden had not ac-
cepted internment and still had her
colors flying and her guns trained"
The British reply continues: 'If
this is so, and if there were no
mears available for enforcing the de-
cision of the Chilian authorities to
intern the Dresden, she might obvi-
ously, had not the British ships TAX
en- action, have escaped, again to at
tack British commerce. 1t is add
ed. THE captain of the Glasgow
probably assumed, especially in view
of the past action OF the Dresden,
that she was defying the Chilian au-
thorities and abusing Chilian neutral
ity and was only waiting for a favor
able opportunity to sally out and at
tack British commerce again In
view of the time it would take to
clear up circumstances and because
of the Chilian communication. the
British government do not wish to
qualify the apology that they now
present to the Chilian government.

at the report from Los Angeles yes.
terday that the Japanese were estab-
fishing permanent base iii Turtle
Bay. Lower California.
While Admiral Pond could not go
into details, because of his position
he intimated that he considered the
entire matter joke, particularly
concerning that part of the report
which says that the Japanese have
covered the whole of the bay with
mines.
81 have no doubt that there are
Japanese warships at or near Turtle
Bay" said Admiral Pond 'but | do
not believe that they have placed
any mines. With their participation
in the present European war / can
easily see why the Japanese Govern
ment should desire feet i'll these
waters. The account of the Japanese
warships being there has been put
on official record and published be-
fore today in connection with the re.
cent visit of the British auxiliary
Lena to this port, and also at other
times"
A Los Angeles reporter who went
to Turtle Bay to learn why it was
taking the Japanese so long to float
the Asama which was reported to
have gone on the rocks on Dec. 81.
returned and described what he saw,
as follows:
Japanese marines and sailors,
1000 strong. backed by four Japa.
nese warships and six golfers, and
supply ships. are occupying Turtle
Bay They were the japanese cruis-
ers Asama, Izumo. Tokioba and

and Pretesilius of Liverpool, with
the Japanese golfers Penang Maru,
and Kand Kama Mura of Toxic"
According to the correspondent
story, the harbor has been mined
and ammunition by the ton was be.
ing taken inland. The Asama instead
of being on rocks, was aground in
soft mud, and could be taken off in a
few hours time. with the aid of
few good tugs, he said.

The 10000 brook trout fry received
from the state hatchery week ago
and placed in the tanks OF the Ben
nington County Forest, Fish and
Game association, are in excellent
shape at present and there has been
practically no loss since the fry ar
rived. The fry in one can were not
in good condition when received but
the balance have come through the
week nicely. James Garfield has
been appointed chairman of the plant
ing committee by President w. S.
Carpenter and will look after the fry
in the tanks.
1t will soon be necessary to feed
the fry and after that period arrives
there may be some loss. as none of
the members o fthe association have
had any experience in rearing trout.
The fry will be planted as soon as
the streams are in condition
Word has been received from
Commissioner Titcomb that this sec
tion may have 10000 more fry from
the hatchery where there has been
an over production necessitating i'm
