THE MINER WAR BULLETINS

{Continued from Page One)

captains saw German warships in the vicinity of Sunday, and itis
believed they laid the mines on that day. |

In retaliation for the detention of unnaturalized Germans in
England, Germany has interned many British in a concentration
camp at Ruhleben. Three thousand are held. Many of the
prisoners are wealthy merchants.

The board of health in Berlin reports 36 cases of cholera - in
Germany in November. The epidemic is spreading rapidly in
Austria, The number of cases reported in Galicia in the first week
of November was 884, Hungary has 532 eases, and ninety deaths

- are reported in Vienna.

‘According to despatches from South Africa, the loyal troops,

under General Botha, have succeeded in breaking the rebellion.
The official report by Botha says the operations of his forces have
practically crushed the uprising in Orange Free State.

Montenegrin troops were successful in repulsing vivlent attacks
by the Austrians at Grahevo, Montenegro. The enemy was forced
to retire, with considerable luss.

-Toyka, Dec. 10:—Advising the Japanese government of the
naval engagement near the Falkland Islands, the British govern-
Mant raports that only eighteen men were killed on the British
warships, Fhe German loss is estimated at 2000. The names of
the British vessels engaged have not been given, but it is known
that the flying squadron which had been in search of the Germans
had been reinforced by the aecession of heavy ships, There were
nv Japanese ships in the engawement.

A despatch from Santiago, Chile, states that the Nurnberg and
Dresden have been sighted, and appear to be badly damaged.

London, Dee. 10:—The gratifying naval victory and the illness
of the Kaiser are the chief topics of discussion in London today.
Despatehes concerning the German emperor’s condition are some-
what conflicting, While allagree that he is sick, there is no
authoritative report as to the nature of his illness, whether
pneumonia, fever, influenza, or nervous depressicn. The physic-
jana’ bulletin intimates that his malady is bronchial catarrh. It is
admitted that the Kaiser is very ill.

The report of the death of General Beyers, one of the leaders
of the rebellion in South Africa, is confirmed. With Beyers dead
and De Wet a prisoner awaiting trial, the rebellion has, to all
appearances, fizzled out. - ‘

Official confirmation is given of reports of British successes
against the Turks on the Tigris.

The official bulletin issued voday in Paris states that yesterday
was unmarked by important developments in Belgium and at Arras,
the enemy making no effort to resume the offensive. In the’ Aisne
and Champugne regions the German artillery was again active, but
was again outmatched by the heavy guns of the Allies, which com-
pelled soma of the German infantry to evacuate their trenches,

At Perthes the enemy made an attempt to retat .@ trenches they
had lost, but were repulsed,

In the region of Argonne the Allies have made further prog-
ress, occupying new ieenches after repulsing six attacks by the
enemy, - ,

On the heights of the Meuse, the Fratreco-British artillery con-
tinues to have the advantage, and in the forest of Lepretre the
Allies took the.enemy’s trenches, .

The German headquarters have been removed from Roulers,
which was reached by shells from Passchondrele, west of Ypres,
after that town had been taken by the Allies, This marks an
important advantage for the Allies,

Between Ostend and Nieuport the coast positions occupied by
the Germans are being shelled by British warships, acting in
conjunction with land operations by the Allies’ troops,

London, Dec, 11:;—An official udmiralty report says the Ger-
man criiser Nurnberg was overtaken and suak by British warships
in the South Atlantic. A Buenos Ayres despatch reports that the
cruiser Dresden, which, with the Nurnberg, fled from the battle in
which three cruisers were sunk by the British, has also been
destroyed,

The German admiralty admits the ‘loss of three cruisers in
Tuesday’s engagement, but seeks to.minimize the defeat by saying
the vessels had been on the high seas for four months,

The French officiat bulletin states that the enemy was active
yesterday in the vicinity of Ypres, The Allies repulsed three
attacks, but one important French trench was. occupied by the
Germans. Nevertheless, our forces continue to make progress in
the direction of the enemy’s lines.

Artillery engagements are reported in the vicinity of Arraa,
Voéges, Variennes, and on the heights of the Meuse. ° In Argonne
we captured several trenches.

Considerable excitement was caused in Dover yesterday by the
report of a submarine attempt to attack the harbor worka and the
fleet at anchor there, Early in the morning, when a heavy rain
made searchlight work difficult, an unidentified ship was sighted
off the harbor entrance, She refused to stop until a shot from the
forts was fired across her bows, when she retired. Half an hour
later a single submarine was sighted. One of the heavy guns fired
and the submarine, which is believed to hava been. the advance
guard of a flotilla, disappeared. Later the channel forts fired at a
fleet of six submarines, A torpedo boat flotilla put out and re-
mained at sea all day. It is reported that two or three German |*,
submarines were sunk, No official statement has been made,

- Jt is reported that the German troops in Poland have approach-
ed within fifteen miles of Warsaw, although their supporting armies
are making no progress, The Czar is at the front'i in the Caucasus,
where it is intended to advance to the Bosphorus,

. The Servian government gives details of a victory over the
Austrians i in Northwest Servia. Prisoners. numbered 22,000, and a
_large amount of material, including an entire artillery depot, was
taken.

Undercover of naval guns, a despatch from Constantinople

- says, the Russians attempted to land. troop south of. Batum, | ‘in
Trans-Caucasia, to outflank the Turkish army.. After a severe en-|

-gagemebt the Russlans were compelled to retire, ~:
