L
coNsTANTINoPLE, April $. (via
Berlin wireIess.)-Loss Of the Turkish
armored cruiser Medjldieh in Sun.
day engagement off Odessa was ad-
mitted in an official statement from
the Turkish admiralty today. The
Medjidieh's crew Of $40 officers and
men were saved by other Turkish war
ships, the admiralty announced.
In the same engagement two small
Russian vessels, the Provident ~ and
Vastochnaja were sunk. Their crews
were taken prisoners.
The admiralty also announced that
an enemy mine sweeper which at
tempted to enter the DardaneIIes on
Sunday was sunk by the batteries of
Fort Kun kaIe.
The Medjidieh, with several other
Turkish Warships, was steamlng north
ward yesterday when she sighted a
flotiIla Of Russian destroyers and mine
sweepers. The Turkish squadron at
once gave chase and sank two enemy
vessels within less than an hour. Sew
eral Of the mine sweepers ran in to
get under cover Of the fortress Of
otchakov, opposite Odessa.

the Medjidieh struck a mine near the
shore and began to settle. Other
Turkish warships closed In and took
off the crew. The breech locks of the
cannon were removed and after the
boats had pulled away, torpedo was
fired against the cruiser amidships to
prevent her from being refloated. She
went down at once.

One report now prevlent In Con-
stantinoples 10 that England, knowing
the Dardaneiles cannot be forced, in
tends to retain the small Islands st
the entrance to the strait. This would
give England an appropriate base to
