COPENHAGEN. June g. - There were two parts to the German fleet which engaged in the battle in the North Sea last Wednesday after noon and night with the British fleet. This is according to the in- formation given out here today by the captain of the Danish steamer Naesborg.
 The captain said that when his ship was 90 miles off the west cape of Hansholm a few small British war ships appeared pursued by German fleet.
 Suddenly the British warships turned and steamed to the westward being violently shelled by the Ger man war. craft Within few min utes large number of British dread naughts and cruisers appeared from the north and west coming from out of haze which seemed to be shroud- ing the sea in those two directions. The British then began attacking the German warships. The latter with in a few hours were reinforced by large number of ships from the south which apparently came from the west coast of Jutland
 Uproar Unoanny.
 Violent fighting began The sky was filled with smoke. The uproar was an uncanny din. Shells fell around the Naesborg although the steamer was several niles away from the scene After several hours. the German fleet withdrew to the southward pursued by the British battleships and cruisers. Several more British warships appeared at this time and started after the flee ing Germans. Night came on and the heavily laden smoke air cut on fur ther view of the battle, according to the Naesborg's captain. although the sharp. nasty roar of the guns was heard until early the next morning going further and further south.
 According to the officers on the Naesborg. the German fleet was di- yided into two parts, one of which escaped but the fate of the other, none knew
 The Naesborg brought several bod les of both British and German sail ors here having picked them up as they steamed along

BRITISH LOSSES FIVE
 THOUSAND.

The losses on the British side late tonight was finally es- timated at about 5000 men. This may be nearly matched with the losses of the Germans, if the latest reports on the num- Der of German warships de- stroyed are confirmed. In the British casualty list are includ- ed Captain PrOwse and the en- tire complement of the battle cruiser Queen Mary which probably had between 900 and 1000 men aboard; and Rear Admiral Hood, who was lost with the battle cruiser Invinci- bIe.
 Two Zeppelins played an im- pOrtant part with the Germans by keeping them informed of the British fleets movements. Both were later destroyed ac- cording to reports received. Danish fishermen declare that one Zeppelin crew perished when their craft was burned.
