Rio Janeiro, Jan. 23.-The minister

no confirmation of the report that the
British cruiser Glasgow had sunk a
German commerce raider, and that he

The marine ministery has ordered
the establishment of a patrol by cruis.
ers off the coast between Pernambuco
and Maranhao, and has detailed an
other warship to assist in this work.
A report was received in maritime
circles from Montevideo, Uruguay, that
the German cruiser Vineta had been
sighted at sea off Bahia Blanca, Ar

May Be vineta.
Early reports of the raid of the Ger
man commerce destroyer had it that
the unidentified raider might be the
Vineta, but this has not been con-
6rmed.

from Minich and two Dutch sailors,
