NINE TRAWLERS
SENT TOBOTT0M
German Submarine Finds
Fleet Of Fishing Boats
and Destroys 1t
CREWS PERMITTED
TO MAKE ESCAPE
Attempt at Flight. BY One
Of Doomed Vessels Is
Quickly Frustrated

London, May 5.-Nine trawlers is
the bag credited to German subma-
rines on Monday of this week. in a
message received here from Hull. In
addition to the Iolanthe, the Hero and
the Northward Ho. the victims belong
ing in Hull include the Hector, Pro-
gress, Coquette and Bob White, while
the Rugby and Uxbridge, owned in
Grimsby, met similar fate.
So far as 10 known no lives were
lost According to the crews of the
fishing vessels the submarine which
wrought this damage is of the newest
type. She has an iron cross painted
on her coming tower. She ran amuck
among the fishing fleet Monday and
quickly sank seven trawlers. The
crews were given time to escape, but
in some cases the small boats drifted
for hours before being picked up.
Each man coming ashore had huge
lump of black bread given him by the
crew of the submarine. The English
sailors are preserving the bread as
souvenirs.
A Copenhagen dispatch states that
while the trawlers were fishing in the
North Sea a German submarine ap-
peared and ordered them to stop. The
crews then took to their boats and
rowed away, after which the trawlers
were blown up by boarding parties
from the submarine. After rowing
about for eight hours the fishermen
summoned aid by burning articles OF
clothing which had been attached to
oars.
The trawler Hero attempted to es.
cape but after an exciting chase which
lasted an hour the submarine got into
close range and opened a fusillade
with rifles whereupon the skipper OF
the fisherman stopped and the crew
took to the small boats.
The trawler Portia has reached Hull
after an exciting chase in which she
managed to elude the submarine which
was after her.

ABOUT AT AN END.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 5.-On the
conclusion Of Theodore Roosevelt's
stay on the witness stand in the sli-
preme court here, the case of the de-
fense will be nearly ended. 1t was
said today that only few more Wit
nesses remained to be called before
the colonel's side would rest and
counsel for William Barnes would be-
gin their rebuttal.
It appeared today that there was d
prospect that several witnesses sum
moned for the defense might not be-
called to testify unless 1t was by the
counsel for Mr.. Barnes. Among this
number was said to be Thomas E..
Smith, secretary of Tammany hall.
A large number Of subpoenas already
have been issued on behalf Of the
plaintiff. One went to b. B. Oden
of Newburgh, former governor. SeN
eral former members Of the state ser
ate also were said to be under sub.

WIRELESS PLANT
NEW STATION IN TROPICS TO
HAVE WIDE RANGE FOR USE
IN WAR TIMES.

New York, May 5.-To supply a
need felt by the British navy, pow
erful wireless station is being built
on the highlands of the island of
Jamaica, 5000 feet above the level of
the sea. according to Rev. George B.
Stallworthy, Unitarian clergyman,
who reached here today aboard the
steamer Juan after a Ave months Wis
1t to the island.
The general opinion prevails in nav
al circles in the West Indies, Mr..
Stallworthy asserted, that Rear Ad-
miral Sir Christopher Cradock and
his British fleet would not have been
lost in the engagement with the Ger
man feet off Coronel, Chile, Novem-
ber last, had there been then in the
West Indies wireless plant such as
Great Britain Is now building. Such
plant, naval officers believed, &C
cording to Mr.. Stallworthy, would have
averted defeat by warning the British
admiral Of the strength of the Ger
mans or by sending other warships to
aid him.

SWOBODA DENIES
THAT HE is SPY

Paris, May s. A vigorous defense
against the charge OF espionage pre-
ferred against him was made by Ray
mond "Swoboda" when he was exam
ined yesterday by Major Julien Of the
Paris permanent court martial says
the Petit Journal. In an effort to
prove his assertion that he really had
important business deals on hand he
gave the name of a person who loaned
him $500, knowing that he was about
to realize handsome profits.
Referring to the charges OF espion-.
age "Swoboda" declared the remarks
he made before the war began did not
show he was aware of Germany's mill
itary plans. He asserted that anyone
who read German newspapers and
pamphlets would have gained the con.
|vfction that Europe was on the verge
|of hostilities.
The prisoner insisted his name was
Swoboda but admitted that he oc-
casionally had been known as Schwind

NEGOTIATIONS ARE
STILL IN PROGRESS
AUSTRIA AND ITALY RESUME DIS
cUssIoN OF THE PROBLEMS
THAT THREATEN WAR.

Rome, May 5.-The meeting Of the
yesterday has been postponed until
this afternoon. A semi-official note
says the ministers will consider the
question of resuming parliamentary
work.
The excitement caused by the aban-
dorment by King Victor Emmanuel
and the ministers Of their proposed
trip to Quarto SAINT Elena, has sub
sided in parliamentary circles where it
is believed there has been no essential
modification of the situation. Since
Monday sensational rumors have given
place to more moderate reports, &C.
cording to which conversations be-
tween Italy and Austria are being con-
tinued.
Foreign Minister Sonnino received
calls yesterday afternoon from the
British and French ambassadors and
the secretary of the Russian embassy.
Count Goluchowski, who is being sent
to Rome on special mission by the
Austrian government, is expected to-.
morrow. He will be received by the
king and Baron Sonnino. He is sup
posed to be bringing the answer of
Austria to the reported request of Italy
made through Prince Won Buelow that
Austria make clear statement of It's
intentions. If this answer Is consid.
cred unsatisfactory 1t is believed that
the Salandra ministry will take the po.
sition that 1t has availed itself, without
result, of every possible means of
averting war

Neither the Japanese embassy

bassy received today cable mes
sage from Toxic giving the reply
of China to the Japanese demands.
At the embassy Il was said that

tory" Most Of the people of the city
are going about their business as usual
apparently with no knowledge OF the
problem which confronts their coun-
try. They might easily be aroused but
the government has taken every meas
ure to prevent antiJapanese demon
strations. Only the educated upper
classes are kept informed of the pro-
gress Of negotiations with Japan.
Among them the feeling is intense but
there have been no demonstrations al
though reports have been received
from southern cities that several men
and one woman have committed sui
eide declaring "they did not wish to
live to see China subjected"
