OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Says Forty British Marines Were Landed on the Mole of Zeebrugge.

Berlin, via London, April 24.-An of ficial statement issued today reads:
 'On Tuesday morning an enter prise of British naval forces against our Flanders bases, conceived on a large scale and planned regardless of sacrifices, was frustrated.
 After a violent bombardment by the enemy at sea small cruisers, escorted by numerous destroyers and motor boats, under cover of a thick veil of artificial fog, pushed forward near Os- tend and Zeebrugge with the inten- ton of destroying the locks and har- bor works.
 According to prisoners four com panies of marines were to occupy the mole at Zeebrugge by coup de main in order to destroy all structures, guns and war material thereon and the ves- seIs lying in the harbor.
 "Only about forty of them got on the mole. These fell into our hands some alive and some dead. On the mar row high wall of the mole both par ties fought with the utmost fierceness "Of the naval forces which partici- pated in the attack the small cruisers Virginia, Enterprise and Sirius and two others of similar construction whose names are unknown were sunk off the coast Moreover, three destroy CTS and a considerable number of tor pedo boats and motor boats were sunk by our artillery fire. Only a few men of the crews could be saved by us.
 Beyond the damage caused to tht mole by a torpedo hit our harbol works are quite undamaged. Of oul
 naval forces only one torpedo boa
 suffered damage of the lightest char I acter. Our casualties were small"
