NO DEFINITE NEWS OF
OPERATIONS OF RAIDER

London, Jan. 18.-No definite news
of the operations of the German raid
er in the South Atlantic is published
here this morning beyond the official
announcement in regard to the loss of
ships. The statements of the admiral
ty and Lloyds are given a prominent
place in the morning papers, which
otherwise print nothing but comment
and speculation.
1t is generally admitted that the
raider may possibly enjoy a long i'm
munity as it is recognized that it is
easier to find needle in hay stack
than ship bent on eluding capture
in the Atlantic. Anxiety is expressed
over the fate of cargoes of grain
and meat from Argentine and steel
from the United States. 1t is adj
mitted that the loss of such cargoes
may be severely felt coming on top
of the depredations of the subma-
raines.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Testifying
before the senate committee on uni
versal service today, Major General

the delay in mobilization on the war

Joined in the defense of the guard.
O'Ryan said the report ON the ma

the militia bureau is unfair, and is
due to conservative prejudice and ig-
norance of real conditions.
Since returning from the border, he
said, he changed his idea that New

Captain of Adelina Relates
Encounter With Strange
Steamer in Straits.
CAME CLOSE
ALONGSIDE
Just Before Dawn, and Iden-
tity Unknown-No Trace
of Craft Found Later.

Captain Ruiz, of the Spanish steam
ship Adelina, which arrived from
Liverpool yesterday, told story
which may indicate the presence of
either British or French cruisers in
the gulf, or the much talked of Ger
man raider, which was reported to
have been sending a score or more
steamers. flying the flag of both
France and Great Britain to the bot
tom of the seas.
A report was made that, just after
passing into the Florida Straits two
or three days ago, a strange and as
yet unidentified vessel steamed up to
within observation distance, about
o'clock in the morning, evidently TAX
ing a casual survey of the Adelina,
which flew the Spanish flag. Whether
or not the name or the nationality of
the Adelina was obtained, Captain
Ruiz was not able to state, but as it
was dark, and he did not care to in
vestigate, his ship did not attempt to
find the purpose of the strange, early
morning caller. He could not say
whether the vessel was naval ship or
merchant raider, and did not care
to express am opinion.
AS it was dark when the stranger
was observed very close to the Ade-
lima, her name or rig could not be
made out. She was showing nothing
more than the regulation navigation
lights, and when daylight, dawned
nothing of the craft could be observ-
ed. This in itself caused the belief
that the ship evidently wished to con-
ceal her identity.
Very few heard the story yesterday.
1t was related in the custom house,
but not made in the nature of an Off
cial report.
