London. Jan. S.-By brilliant flank

Central Rumsnia broke through the
Russian defensive line at Focsani yes
terday and to-day, captured that town
and took nearly 1000 prisoners. Ber-
lin announces tonight that the beaten
army is being pursued
The successes gained by the Cars
troops on Saturday in the region OF
Focsani and Buzeu were quickly multi
fed when the troops of Delminsingen
and Morgen took up the attack yester-
day
Germans Capture Mountain
The Russians were first dislodged on
Sunday from the powerfully defended
Mount Odobesci and thrown back to
the Putna. Establishing their artillery
on this dominating height, which looks
down on Focsani from a distance OF
nine miles. the 1vutons then moved
on the strongly fortified line of the
River Milcovu. In fierce hand-to- hand
fighting this position was captured, ana
the Germans Immediately broke INTO
the Russians second line of defence,
along the canal running from Focsani
to Yarestea. This opened the way to
Focsani. which was occupied this morn
ing.
The fall Of Focsani greatly weakens
the position of the defenders IN Cen
trial Rumania and threatens the entire
Sereth line. 1t is doubtful. according
10 military strategists here, If the Rus
slams and Rumanians make any deter
mined efforts to save the Sereth line
or 10 defend Galatz any longer
The impression prevails that the
Germans may decide TO fortify the
Sereth and make no attempt 70 move
further across the difficult country OF
Eastern Moldavia. Hindenburg's IN
sistence on Odessa as the final objec-
tive may turn the scales, however.
Won Gerck Gaining
The Russians also have lost ground
along the Western Moldavian frontier,
the forces Of Won Gerck pressing them
back between the Putns and Oituz val
ieys. according to Berlin.
Between the Focsani line and the
Danube the Russians appear 10 be
holding their ground. The repulse o.
Teutonic assaults on the Sereth. east
of the mouth Of the Buzeu, is reported
by Petrograd.
Galatz. while still under the fire Of
the enemy's guns. is holding out and
delaying the possible invasion Of Bes-
sarabia from he south. The continual
tion of Falkenhayn's successes along
the Sereth, northwest Of Galatz, soon
would flank the Galatz position.

Madrid, Jan. S.-PubIic indignation
has been aroused by confirmation Of
the report that the San Leandro was
tcrpedoed By q German submarine. II
was generally believed that the loss
was accidental. as it was considered
unlikely that fruit carrier would be
torpedoed. The crew arrived at Hen
daye. France, where they told the Span
ish Consul that they had been twenty
six hours in an open boat.
The situation at the Canaries is de-
scribed as grave by the latest dis
patches from the islands. Only 233
ships called at Las Palmas in Deem.
Der, as against a normal average Of
700. Only one Of the 1913 was English
and there were no French or Italian
vessels, fact attributed to subma-
rines.
