of the Hampshire.

Aberdeen, June 10.-Steamships ar
irving here report details of the loss
of the cruiser Hampshire, which was
sunk with Earl Kitchener and staff
on board. The disaster occurred be-
tween Warwick Head and the Brough
of Birsay on the west coast mainland.
A vessel on patrol reported the war
ship on fire. The ship appeared to
blow up. No sound of an explosion
was heard, but sound could not travel
far in the teeth of the storm that was
raging.
Within twenty minutes the Hamp-
shire went down. People on shore
saw four boats launched These were
all battered to pieces on the rocks.
Vessels were instantly summoned to

WIN FIGHT
Italians Driven Back-12, 400 Men
Captured, Reports Vienna.

London, June 10.-Defeated by the
Russians. the Austrians have in turn
scored a victory in the Tyrol. Not
withstanding the draft on their forces
on the Galician frontier, they have ap
parently hurried reinforcements on
the Lagarina-Sugana front, where the
Italians had halted their advance and
begun a marked offensive.
In the Asiago sector of this line
after a desperate fight lasting from
Wednesday evening until Thursday
night, the Italians were driven back
to new positions. This is claimed by
Vienna and admitted by Rome.
Vienna announces also that since
the beginning of June the Austro-H un-
garians have captured 1900 Italians.

good authority that few days before

swiftly and silently. Earl Kitchener
said he had revised his estimate of the
duration of the war.
He had calculated it would last
three years; now he said he thought
the estimate was excessive and that he
looked for an earlier close.
The enormous impetus of events
during the past few days give force to
his prediction. There is on all sides a
feeling of imminence of final things.

School Board at
Dayton In Mix-Up

The Board of School Trustees OF
Dayton, consisting of Gene Howard,
Howard Swartz and Fred Johnson,
with Prof. George A. Morgan, princi-
pal OF the high school at that place,
are meeting today in the state CAPT
tol building with Governor Boyle,
President Hendrick and Prof. J. +.
Bray, members Of the State Board
of Education. There is, from what
can be learned, an effort being made
to displace Prof. Morgan.
A numbers of scholars from the
school are here and are being heard,
and from talk among those interest
ed it is apparent that friction exists
on the Dayton school board. Trus-
tee Howard, it is reported, is favor
able to Prof. Morgan, while the other
two members, Swartz and Johnson,
while not against Prof. Morgan, are
lined up against Howard. Politics
and other matters are said to be mix
ed up in it and the outcome is be-
ing anxiously looked for.

pie from other counties who desire to
attend the convention and who signi-
fed a preference for the riverside
city The convenience of the greater
number of the delegates and a desire
to secure as large a personal attend
ance as possible also prompted the

airy law. This apportionme is made
on the basis of the vote cast for con-
gresham, each county being entitI-
ed to one delegate to the state con-
