JAPANESE CRUISER SUNK BY MINE IN
KIAO-CHOW BAY; 271 OF CREW PERISH
One Officer and Twelve Men
of the Takachicho All That
Were Saved of the War Ves
sel's Complement of 300
Men, According to Official
Report—Austrian Submarine
Reported Sunk in the Adriatic
To-day by a French Cruiser
—Allies 9 Fleet Again Starts
the Bombardment of the
Forts at Cattaro
Tokio, Oct. 19, 5.30 P. M.—lt is •fficially announced
that the Japanese cruiser Takachiho was sunk by a mine
in Kiao-Chow bay on the night of October 17. One officer
and eleven members of the crew are known to have been
saved.
The Takachiho was on patrol duty outside Tsing Tau
when she fouled the mine. The Japanese destroyers heard
the explosion and saw the flames that resulted. They hur
ried to the assistance of the cruiser which, however, dis
appeared quickly and in the darkness it was possible to
rescue only twelve men. Twenty-eight officers, 54 non
commissioned officers and 189 seamen perished.
The Japanese cruiser Takachiho was built in 1885 and
refitted in 1900. She was a vessel of 3,700 tons and was
300 feet long and had 46 feet beam. Her main battery con
sisted of eight 6-inch guns and her speed was about 18
knots. She carried a crew of 300 men, only twelve of
whom, according to the official report, are known to have
been saved.
AUSTRIAN SUBMARINE SUNK
Cettinje, Montenegro, Oct. 19, va London, 1.46 P. M.—
An Austrian submarine was sunk in the Adriatic to-day by
a French cruiser. Two submarine vessels went out from
the bay of Cattaro to attack a French fleet, which was
making its way along the Dalmatia coast. They were
quickly sighted, however, by the French who took aim and
sent one of them, the leader, to the bottom. The other
submarine escaped.
The French fleet subsequently recommenced the bom
bardment of the forts at Cattaro.
An Austrian areoplane dropped several bombs in the
neighborhood of the fleet but no damage was done.
A struggle for the possession of the strip of French
seacoast that is nearest to the shores of England was the
most interesting phase of the war situation to-day.
British naval forces are reported to have joined in the
movement with the allies who are making a determined
stand on the Belgian frontier against the westward drive
<»f the German right wing.
1 lie exact battle lne is not known. This afternoon's
official French statement says that the German artillery
lias attacked without success "the front of Nieuport to
Vladisloo. to the east of Dixmude." The allies, it adds,
have advanced as far as Roulers and there has been sharp
lighting on a front from La Basse to Ablain and St.
Nazaire.
Paris states that the allies are moving on Lille which
Mas occupied by the Germans on October 13.
An earlier dispatch from London stating that the Ger
mans were bombarding Lille may have referred to events
prior to October 13 and been delayed in transmission from
France to London.
There is nothing from Berlin to reveal the position of
the (iermans that are contending for the coast line. There
is no doubt, however, that they are bound for Dunkirk
and < alais and are prepared to meet a strong resistance.
Rains that caused much suffering to the troops in
France earlier in the campaign are falling again on the
battlefield so continuously that great hardships result to
the men and military maneuvers are made more difficult.
Germans and Austrians have encountered bad weather
in Russian Poland, heavy roads delaying the movement of
their artillery. They claim, however, to be making
progress along the \ istula. Petrograd asserts that the
invasion has been definitely checked.
Nothing is known definitely of the fate of Przemysl in
Galicia but the best information is that it is still holding
out against the Russians. Vienna asserts that.the siege
of the city has failed.
An Austrian submarine was sunk bv a French cruiser
in the Adriatic to-day.
Japan lost the cruiser Takachiho which struck a mine
while patrolling off Tsing-Tau. Two hundred and sev
enty-one officers and men perished.
Additional Canadian troops were landed at Avon
mouth, England, to-day.
The Turkish government has refused the British de
mand that the German crews be discharged from the
cruisers Gbe ben and Breslau which Turkev bought from
German v. I

Work which was begun Saturday on ;
the Stough tabernacle was continued
to-day by about thirty volunteer work-1
men. The enthusiasm naturally was
not as high as on the first day of the ■
construction work, and progress was
comparatively slow. The day was spent
;n putting on the roof, beginning at |
the east side of the big building. No
dinner was served to the workmen asl
on Saturday. At the dinner hour the
men who do not live in the immediate'
vieinity, sought relief from the heat
of the inid-day sun in nearby restau
rants. Some few gave up the task for
the day, but their places were taken
by reinforcements.
The huge wooden skeleton which
rose on the tabernacle site on Satur
day was viewed by large crowds of
curious persons going to and from the
downtown churches yesterday. For
some time there was a constant stream
of' churchgoers passing up and down

; BURGLAR TAKES PEANUTS.
! LEAVES A NICKEL BEHIND
Jacob Sawyer's Establishment on Mar
ket Square Opened and Entered,
but Missing Goods Are Paid for
in Good American Money
The police are not worrying about
the thief who boldly and within a
I square of police headquarters entered
| the peanut wagon on Market square
I in front of Miller & Hades' stove, stole
a pack of peanuts and left in return a
new buffalo nickel.
There is nobody to swear out a war
■ rant for the arrest of this person, al
' fhough it is a crime to break and enter,
and that is what happened. Some time
< between midnight Saturday and 4
o'clock Sunday afternoon somebody
got hungry for a pack of peanuts and,
seeing the* peanut stand handy, decided
to get the peanuts. He wasn't a reg
ular thief, just a man hungry for pea
nuts, and lie paid for what he took.
, Had he closed the door as he found
! it, the "loss'' would not have been dis
; covered until it was time to open shop
I this moruing, but the door was not
closed properly and it swung open yes
| ferday afternoon, attracting the atten
; tion of a small boy, wno reported to
I Policeman Wiesman, who investigated
and found the nickel.
The policeman sent for Jacob Saw
i ver, 306 South Second street, owner of
the stand, and fo ' his son-in-law, John
. Tolmi, who closed up Saturday night.
who took a complete inventory of the
i stock. Kvorything was accounted for
! but a pack of peanuts, hei;ee the con-
I elusion that the burglar was just
i hungry for peanuts and had the money
I to make the purchase, but no place to
j buy them.
i 'Mr. Sawyer is inclined to treat the
' affair as a joke, not as n crime against
the iommon wealth. Re is not worry
i ing and consequently the police are not
worrying.
