London, Jan. 25.--An attempt by q
German cruiser squadron to repeat
lAe attack recently made on Scarbor.
ough, the Hartepoois and other Brit.
Ish coast towns, was frustrated Sun.
day by the British patrolling squadron
and in a running fight the German ar.
mored cruiser Bluecher was sunk and
two German battle cruisers were seri-
ously damaged.
The British ships suffered only
slight injury. So far as is known only
Ira OF the Bluecher's crew of sS5 was
saved. e.
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers accom-
panying the bigger ships, but the re-
suit of this engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty. The British,
were superior in ships engaged. weight
) of armament and speed. and the flight
of the German ships into the mine and
submarine infested field possibly
saved them from further losses.
The Bluecher was cruiser of 1850
tons displacement and, although COM
missioned in 1908. was completely re-
rigged last year. She was not classed
as battle cruiser but was in the
next class to those formidable fight.
ers. With her were the Derflinger.
Germany's latest battle cruiser, Which
had just left the builders hands, and
tht battle cruisers Seydlitz and
Moltke, the latter sister ship of the
Goeben. formerly of the German, but
now of the Turkish fleet. which was
recently reported damaged by the Rus
SLAMS in the Black sea.
Z The British squadron, commanded
b, Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty,
who also was in command at the bat
tie off Helgoland last August, consist
ed of the battle cruisers Tiger. Lion,
Princess Royal, New Zealand and In
domitable. The first three Of thes1
cruisers mount eight 13.5-inch guns.
and even the New Zealand and Indom-
table carry 12-inch guns. which are
equal to those. OF the Derflinger. the
only one of the German ships that had
better than 11-inch guns.
3 Commodore Reginald Y. Tyrwhitt,
who also took part in the battle off
Helsoland. commanded the light .crui-
sers and destroyers which accom-.
panied Vice Admiral Beatty's battle
cruisers.
The Bluecher, which was slower
than the other German cruisers. fell
behind and succumbed to the heavier
guns Of the Lion. which was leading
the British squadron. The other Ger
man ships got within the mine and
submarine area, two OF them In bad
ly damaged condition. and it was dan.
gerous for the big British battle crui-
sers to follow.
The fact that only eleven men
were wounded aboard the Lion, which
led the line, indicates that the British
casualties were light. 1t is possible
that more Of the Bluecher's crew were
picked up by the British destroyers.

has in this way been cut off, but it
is reported several villages in that
region were destroyed. Likewise Po-
tenza, capital of the province of the

OF the Apennines, which has a pop
ulation of nearly 10000, has been iso-
lated. In 1857 this town was al
most destroyed by an earthquake.
Father Alfani, director of the OBJ
servatory at Vale di Pompeii. the
noted seismologist, has sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Rome:
THE earthquake registered by our
apparatus appears to have been most
disastrous for radius of more than
100 miles. Probably its center was
the province of Potenza Meanwhile
communications with PotcnZa are in

Ancient Town Destroyed.
AvezZano, the town from which the
greatest number OF casualties has
been reported as the result OF the
earthquake, lies in the province of
Aguila, in the AbruzZi department, IS
miles east of Rome. 1t is an ancient
town and has population of some
10000. One of the well preserved
buildings there was the lowered cas-.
tie built by Gentle Virginia Orsino
in 1890.
Most of the towns in which dam
age has been done are situated vir-
, tually in the heart of Italy, in a line
. running northeast and southeast from
Rome eastward toward the Adriatic

Rome and the department of Abruzzi

tondo has a population OF about 5000.
1t was here, in 1867. that Garibaldi

second only to the Messina disaster
of 1908
The list OF dead, dying and injured
has increased from relatively small
figure Wednesday night to more than
$4,000, according to an official an

Priceless Relics Destroyed.
The fun extent of the property loss
has not yet been determined. In
Rome priceless statues, century-old
buildings and structures that for years
have been the mecca of visitors. have
been destroyed or injured
Though the loss Of life and pussib-
ly the damage may be less than it
was in 1908, the area of the disturb
anCU greatly exceeds that of the Mes
sina earthquake. 1t covers the whole
central portion of Italy extending
from Naples on the south to Fcrrara
on the north.
The most disastrous disturbance
from all reports seems to have cent
cred in the vicinity of the town of
AvcZzano, where $4,000 persons have
been killed or injured, according to
the latest official reports. Reports of
damage in varying degrees of sever
ity come from Latium, Abruzzi. I'M
bria. the Mcarchcs, Tuscany, ACZlia,
Campanid and Apulia.
Quake Belt 300 Miles Long.
The earthquake belt is estimated TO
be about 900 miles long, extending
practically from one side Of Italy TO
the other. In AbruZ2i, Latium and
Campania, the quake reached its hig-
est degree, described by scientists as
"catastrophic" and in other places is
varied between the seventh and the
tenth degrees.
Great Damage in Rome.
In the capital itself, so far as
known, there was no loss of life, but a
great deal of damage was done,
churches and statutes suffering most.
For time the people were stricken
with fear and there was veritable
panic in the hospitals, monasteries
and converts. The buildings on both
sides of the POrta del POpolo. the
north entrance to Rome, threatened
to fall, and the eagle decorating the
gate crashed to the ground.
Details Are Lacking.
