THREE WARSHIPS SUNK
BIG sATTLEsHIPs IN FRANCO.
BRITISH FLEET LOST.
English Admiralty Admits Heaviest
Blow of-Navaf Mar in Sinking
Of Dreadnaughts.

London, March 22.-The greatest
blow suffered by the allies on the seas
since the wal began was administered
by the Turks Thursday, when drifting
mines in the narrows Of the Darda-
nelles blew up and sank three OF the
largest battleships in the Franco
British feet while the ships ere
bombarding eight of the Turkish forts.
The ships destroyed are the $4,000
ton British second line battleship lire
sistible, the IL ,500-ton British battle
ship Ocean and the 12,205-ton French
battleship Bouvet. In addition, the
British dr~eadnaught cruiser ~N1nfexible
and the French ~battleship Gaulois
were damaged by the gunfire from the
forts.
Nearly every man of the $50 in the
crew of. the Bouvet was lost with the
ship, but almost the entire crews Of
the Irresistible and the Ocean ere
saved.
This tremendous loss was admitted
in an official statement given out by
the admiralty. Official dispatches
telling of the sinking Of the Bouvet
from Constantinople via Berlin, be-
sides telling of the sinking of the Bou-
vet and saying the Irresistible was
put out of action" also claim that a
British torpedo boat was sunk, but
the English admiralty has not con-
f1rmed this fact.

Decorated by the Gar.

London, March 24.-The white flag
was hoisted on the fortress of Pre-
mysl on Monday and the Russian
army entered the city without firing a
shot after a siege Of six months to the
day that has few parallels in history.
Fifty thousand Austrian soldiers, zoe
officers and nine generals threw down
their arms and surrendered, worn to
the last extremity by disease and
hunger. The fall Of the fortress is re.
garded In Petrograd n London as
the greatest victory for Russian arms
since the beginning of the a
Following up quickly the advantage
gained by the capture Of the Austrian
stronghold, the Russian army has be-
gun a gigantic battle along the en-
tire Carpathian front. Reinforce
ments have been rushed into the
mountains in the expectation Of the
fall of Przemysl and everywhere the
Austrians are being attacked with
marked stubbornness.
The most violent conflicts are TAX
ing place in the vicinity of the Dukla,
.Uszok and Lupkow passes, which are
the three principal passes nearest
Przemysl, from which they are dis.
tant only about fifty miles.
The official statement received from
Petrograd says:
"In consequence of the joyful event
of the surrender of the fortress OF
PrZemysl, Generalissimo the Grand
Duke Nicholas has been awarded the
St. Georges cross of the second de-
gree and General ~Seliwamoff, com
mander of the army before Przemysl,
has been awarded the st. Georges
cross Of the third degree"

tempted sortie from Przemysl and the
fighting south Of Tarnow in the last
As hours total more than forty thou
sand, according to a semioficial state
ment from the Russian war Office. The
/ garrison originally numbered 100000
men. The Russian armies engaged in
the siege are now expected to ad'
vance simultaneously to besiege the
fortress of Cracow inc to aid in the
invasion of Hungary.
The news OF the fall Of the fortress
evoked the widest scenes in Petro-
grad since the beginning Of the war.

Almost daily the Austrian garrison
has sailed forth to attack the Rus
sian outposts, which were steadily
drawing a tighter ring about the III
ner forts. The Russian howitzers
finally wrecked all the outer forts and
the Russian waf Office several days
ago made the significant announce
ment that Russian troops were with

For months the only mea Of com.
munication between Przemysl and the
outside world was by wireless teleg'
raphy and aeroplanes.
There have been indications recent
ly that hunger was an effective ally
of the Russians, for it was reported
that aeroplanes we're making daily
flights to Przemysl with cargoes OF
provisions.

When the zeppeiins approached
whistles were blown and the sleeping
residents aroused, all lights were ex-
tinguished and when the raiders ar
rived over the city. the capital was
completely obscured.
It was a beautiful starlit night.
There was a light westerly breeze
blowing. The approach of the raiders
was signaled from at least twenty
places.
Half a dozen a~eroplanes were wheel

angle guns were blazing from several
different points.
