KARLSRUHE BLOWN UP7
Survivors, Story Contradicts State
ment Of American Ship Captain.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN, p. r., April 11.-What is
believed to be authentic information
as to the fate of the German cruiser
Karlsruhe. which was active in the
waters of the Caribbean and off the
coast of Brazil during the first months
of the war. was given this week by
Capt. Heinrich Lubinus. former prize
officer on the Karlsruhe and who
brought the German prize X. Dill
into this port in January. 1915. The
X. Dill was formerly the British
freighter Farne, and was captured Oc-
tober 5. 1914.
The Karlsruhe was sunk following
an internal explosion on November 4.
1914, not far from the Island Of Trini-
dad, according to Capt. Lubinus. who
said that he had only recently received
this Information direct from Germany,
from one Of the surviving officers Of
the cruiser.
Against the statement of Capt. Lu-
binus is q story told within the past
two weeks by an American ship cap
tain. This captain said he was in Ham
burg in January. 1915, and saw the
Karlsruhe there at that time.

Present Quarters outgrown.

Professionalism attaches in no way
to the project. Having outgrown its
quarters at 18th and D streets, where
this years meet will be held from Nav
to 10. the association decided to ac-
Quire new accommodations sufficiently
large to permit of military and anna
teur racing. In fact. the latter feature
promises to be one of the most impor-
tant of the associations activities, as,
through the medium of racing and hunt
meets. the association hopes to stress
the development of stamina in horses
stock for the purposes of the army. 1t
is this feature that Gen. Buchanan,
Gen Wood and other army officers con-
nected with the association are par
ticularly interested in.
THE association expects to render
valuable service to the government
through the holding of military and
amateur race meets" said Mr. Hazen
today. washington is the logical
place to conduct racing of this char
acter. entirely free from professional
ism. and the result should be the in
teresting of breeders in Virginia, Mary
land, the District Of Columbia and the
east generally in the breeding of horses
of better quality for army service"
Mr.. Hazen said that much of the stock
of the new association had been sub
scribed and there are sufficient funds
on hand to begin the building of the
new plant Immediately after the closing
of the show next month.
