GREAT BRITAIN TO MAKE
PREPARATION TO CHILE
German Cruiser Dresden About to Be
Interned When Fired On by
English, Cruisers.
40 ATTENTION TO WHITE FLAG
Then Blew Up His Own Ship,
and Men Were Interned by Chilean
Governmental. s. Receives Oftl-
cial Details of Attack.

WASHINGTON, April 2.--Ofilcial de-
cruiser Dresden in Chilean waters by
Il British squadron were received by
the United States government to-day
with information Of the character or
representations recently made by Chile
To the British government over the
incident.
1t was revealed for the first time
. here that the Dresden was about TO be
| interned by the Chilean government
for ovcrstaying the limit OF twenty
four hours granted 20 her. when the
british cruisers Glasgow and Kent and
the auxiliary cruiser Drama opened
fire. According TO the official report of
the Chilean government, when the
Dresden put into Cumberland Bay,
within 500 yards Of shore, and asked
Tor eight days in which to repair her
engines the maritime governor of
Juan Fernandez Island did not agree,
but gave the vessel :, certain time limit
within which to depart After the ex-
pration OF that time, he communi-
Gated 10 the Chilean government that,
with its approval, he would immediate
~ intern the vessel. Meanwhile, the
british cruisers arrived, and the mari
! time governor was about to go aboard
the Britt cruiser Glasgow when he
was obliged to turn back. he reported,
on account Of the troadslde she sent
toward the shore.
The report adds that the white flag
was run up on the Dresden and word
was sent to the British commander
that the attack was being made in
| territorial waters. AS that failed to
STOP the attack. the German captain
blew up his own ship. When the Ger
man captain and crew reached VAL
paradise they were interned. The Ger
man government protested that they
should be given their liberty. since
they were held to be in the same cate
CORY as shipwrecked sailors. but the
Chilean Foreign Office replied that the
Germans were being interned for vio-
lation of neutrality in overstaying tho
time limit given them for repairs
1t is understood the British govern
mcnt already has shown a disposition
10 make rcparation to Chile for the in
cidcnt although what form the repara
| ton VIII take is not known here.
