OIL STEAMER Is BURNED
Destruction Of the Santurce Believed
Work Of German AGENTS

an American Atlantic port with oil and
miles of Lobos Island. News OF the
fire and sinking, which is believed here
to be the work of German agents. was
received from the oil steamer San Ber-

All Of the crew were rescued by the
steamer Cernicalo. The cause of the
fire is unknown. The Santurce was
owned by Miguel A. Hernandez. an
American citizen of Porto Rico.
The Santurce was a vessel of I.So6

back for additional punishment. They

armies is growing weaker.
The chief battles of the past week oc-

after the Canadians had captured IA
nous Fimy ridge in April. the fighting
died down to great extent. The Cana

advances of few hundred yards to

resumed. The Canadians struck to the
south of Lens and met the stiffest sort
of enemy resistance. They were turn
ed back after scoring comparatively
minor gains. but the British gunf1re
was again turned on the German posi-

yielded. The Canadians and the British
to the northwest of Lens have con-
tinued to take German positions over
comparatively small fronts. On the

Of the Russian mission to the United

That the allied armies in Macedonia
