LONDON, June 5.-Thc weekly re-
port OF losses Of British merchant
vessels in the submarine campaign
will again show a favorable total
when 1t is issued Tomorrow.
In some respects the last week has
been the best since unrestricted sub
marine warfare was inaugurated.
Last Friday was a blank day on the
records, no losses Of British mer-
chantmcn having occurred. II is the
first time this has happened for a long
period,
The arrival OF the American units
has helped In more ways than one.
II has lnstllled friendly rivalry in
the campaign against the submarines,
stimulating the morale and adding to
tho kcenness OF the men OF both
fleets.
In tho last week there have been
numerous encounters, the results OF
which have been entirely satisfactory

Cuardsmen Aid Keepers to
Subdue Outbreak That
Lasts for Hours.

JOLIET, H., June 5.-one Of the
most persistent riots in prison history
kept the Illinois state Penitentiary in
turmoil to-day.
After SIX hours Of fre and violence.
despite the presence OF a battalion OF
the First Illinois Infantry, 200 Of the
1900 convicts remained herdeu IN a
corner Of the prison yard fenced In
by bayonets IN the hands OF the
soldiers.
They joered the soldiers and throw
at them such missiles az they could
get or used clubs and iron bars In
personal encounters when the SOL
diers came too close. Major J. v.
Chnnen. in command. was without
orders TO shoot to kill. or wilruily to
inJure the convicts.
During the forenoon two guards
were injured. ono by a thrown mis-
sile ana the other by n reboundlng
bullet, and three convicts slightly by
dubbed rifles or bayonets. Five build
inss were fred. Three were snved
but the paint and oil shop and the
chapel were DESTROYED.
? Two companies Of tho guardsmen,
who are in federal service and we're
sent to the scone only after permis-
sion had been secured from Cen.
Thomas Barry at Chicago, were in
Side the inclosure and one company
outside TO prevent escapes in the con-
fusion.
The trouble started at breakfast at
o'clock over an order Of Temporary
Warden Bowen restricting the visit
ing list OF relatives OF prisoners
Tables we're overturned and dishes
thrown about.
Disorder broke out afrcsh at 10
o'clock when FIRE was discovered in
the rattan factory. Prison nremen
who attacked the tlamos were assailed
by convicts, but the fire was put out.
Meanwhile the sheriff and the Adju-
tant General OF the State we're ap-
pealed TO for help.
Firemen who arrived from this city
could not enter for an hour owing to
tho mob Of conviets at the gate. The
first soldiers forced a way in FOR
! them.
! Desultory lighting continued for
hours. dense smoke arose and II
was feared that under its cover oon-
