Twenty Miles on Shore.
Following is the report in full:
"The squadrons under my command,
consisting OF the large cruisers
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the
small cruisers Dresden, Nuremberg and
Leipzig, steamed on November | about
twenty miles from the Chilian coast at
twelve-mile rate toward the south
in order TO catch an English cruiser
which, according to reliable informa-
ton, had anchored off Coronel the
night before. On the way several
smaller cruisers were detached from
the squadron to look for approaching
steamers and sailing vessels.
AT AIS in the afternoon, bent on
such a mission. the Nuremberg was out
of sight to the northeast and the Ores
den was approximately twelve miles
to the rear. With the rest of the
squadron | stood about forty miles to
the northeast of the Bay of Arauco.
AT 4:17 there were sighted, in the
west and TO the south. two vessels,
and at 4:25 a third, about fifteen
miles distant from us. Two were finally
recognized as warships, probably
the Monmouth and the Glasgow, while
the third probably was the auxiliary
cruiser Otranto. They seemed to be
taking a southerly course. My squad
ron pursued them with all possible
speed, keeping them about four points
to starboard The wind was blowing
a full gale from the south. A CORE
spondingly high sea was running, so
that | strongly preferred to guard
against being forced into the lee posi-
ton.
"The course chosen served also to
cut off the enemy from the neutral
coast. At 4:35 it was noticed that the
British ships were bearing more west
ward, and | followed eventually in a
west-southwest course, the Scharn-
horst gradually overtaking them at a
speed of twenty-five miles, while the
Gniesenau and the Leigzig Jagged be-
hind. The lively wireless exchange Of
the enemy was disturbed as much as
possible.

Explanation Given Why the Building
Was Not Prepared for Visitors Who
Have Returned Home Sore

lndiscriminate criticism of the con.
dition of the Idaho building at the
Panama-Pacific fair by returning Ida
no visitors, seem not altogether justi-
he'd according to a letter sent to the
Boise Commercial club by Mrs. w. H
Ridenbaugh, who is hostess at the Ida
no building. Economics reasons arc
responsible in the main for the fail
ure to have the exhibits properly dis
played. Mrs. Ridenbaugh's letter fol
lows:
when | arrived at the exposition
and saw the wonderful site of the
Idaho building, one of tnc best on the
grounds, saw its artistic and stately
exterior, without pretension yet noble
and imposing, was filled with pride,
but when l entered the building l saw
nothing but carpenters benches,
packing boxes and crates and general
disorder
Il then learned that the building
had been used to store all the exhibits,
which had arrived promptly, and that
the shelving and other work neces-
sary to fit up Idahos space had been
made in the building, in order to save
a large sum of money and l appreci-
ated the economy of the plan.
This using OF the Idaho building
as storage room has only delayed its
for little more than a
month and / think that all citizens of
the state will consider the time well
spent as a money saver We eyi
to have our formal opening March %,
by which time the building will be
furnished and many educational ex
hibits and those of woman's work, will
be in place. From that time on citi-
zens of Idaho may find comfortable
and cordial state building where they
can rest between their hours of sight
seeing.

1reciate this explanation and be as
oyal as possible in the future
