SPoNSieLE FOR ATTACKS
ON WEsTeURN.
2O6 CAPTIVES ABOARD
THREE STEAMERS AND ONE
BARK ADDED TO LIST OF
SEA ROvER'S VICTIMS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London, Feb PA dispatch re-
ceived from Santa Cruz, Teneriffe'
Canary Islands, says the British
steamer Westburn has put in there
for repairs, flying the German flag,
and with a prize crew Of seven men
and one officer.
The officer is believed to belong to
the German raider Moewe. In add
ton to her own crew there are 2O6
prisoners taken from various British
vessels, on the Westburn. The West
burn left Liverpool Jan. 81 for Buenos
Aires. The Westburn is vessel OF
$500 tons She was built in 1898 and
is owned by J. Westall of Sunder-
land.
The prisoners on board came from
the British steamers Flamenco, Hor-
ace, Clan MacTavish and Cambridge,
the British bark Edinburgh and the
Belgian steamer Luxembourg.
The Westburn, after her departure.
from Liverpool, was last reported as
passing st. Vincent, Cape Verde, Feb.
4. The Flamenco left Newport, Eng
land, for Valparaiso, Jan. 81, and the
Horace left Buenos Aires, Jan. 26. for
LIVERPOOL
The Luxembourg was on voyage
from Newport for Buenos Aires, hav-
ing departed for the South American
port Jan. 49, The bark Edinburgh
sailed from Rangoon, India, Sept. ~,
for Liverpool. The Luxembourg and
the Flamenco had been placed on the
overdue list. The Cambridge cannot
be identified.
The fact that the steamer Westburn
has, among the prisoners on board.
men from the British steamer Clan
MacTavish, which was sunk after an
exciting battle by the German raider
Moewe off the coastAof Africa in jan
uary, seemingly would indicate that
the Flamenco, Horace, Edinburgh and
Luxembourg had met similar fate.
The Luxembourg and Flamenco are
the largest of the vessels mentioned
in the London dispatch. Both of
them carry passengers.
