Earl KITCHENER and
STAFF MEET Death.
London Dispatch, June 8.

London Dispatch, June 8.
The news that Earl Kitchener,
Secretary of State for War and
his staff, who were proceeding to
Russia aboard the cruiser Hamp-
shire were lost off the, Orkney Is
lands last night, was the most
stunning blow Great Britain has
received since the war began.
This is the second shock the
country has sustained within a
week. The other was when the
newspapers appeared Friday eve
ming with the first intelligence OF
the naval battle in the North Sea
in the form of a list OF the ships
lost, with virtually no intima'ion
that there was any compensa-
ton in the way of enemy losses.
The bulletin telling of the death
Of Kitchener gave the country
even q greater shock.
Kitchener was the one outstan-
ding personality whom the peo-
ple talked OF and believed in as a
great man Notwithstanding news
paper attacks when a former per.
iod OF the war threatened to un.
dermine his popularity and the
public confidence in him.
ADMIRAL JELLIcoE's REPORT.
A telegram from Admiral Sir
John Jellicoe, commander OF the
feet, giving the bare: facts, was
received at the Admiralty about
IL o'clock in the morning. The
first official announcement was
issued about 1:30 in the after
noon.
Admiral Jellicoe's report to the
Admiralty was as follows:
II have to report with deep re-
gret that His Maiesty's ship
Hampshire, Capt. Herbert J. Sa.
will, R. N, with Lord Kitchener
and his staff on board, was sunk
last night at about Sp. M, to
the west If the Orkneys, either
by q mine or a torpedo.
"Four boats were seen by OBJ
servers on shore to leave t h e
ship. The wind was north.north'
west and heavy seas were run
ming. Patrol vessels and destroy
ers at once proceeded to the spot
and a party was sent along the
coast to search, but only 8 o m e
bodies and a capsized boat have
been found to the present. As thu
whole shore has been searched
some to seaward, I greatly fea>
that there is little hope OF there
being any survivors.
mo report has yet been heard
from the search party on shore.

When the official announce
ment finally was issued the fac

before the newspapers were OF
