LONDON, Dec. 12. The German' cruiser Karlsruhe has been In battle with the British warship Glas gow off the coaat of Brazil and has been damaged, but managed to escape, says a dispatch received here today from Rio 'Janeiro. It is stated by the Admiralty that no official report of such a battle has been received, but the news also comes In a message from Buenos Aires; which says that "part of. the Karlsruhe's -stern was -shot, away by the Glasgow's six-inch guns." Attaches of the - Admiralty - expressed full .confidence today 'that tho' Karlsruhe, as well as the .cqnyerfed. cruisers Prink Eitel Friedrlch and Kronprinz Wilhelm, would soon "be accounted fqr."

The statement that the fleet of Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee Included' the second cruiser equadron attached to the home fleet-wasrecclvedwithout com ment. There was neither confirmation Concluded on Face Vout THE WEATHER FAIK Well, old Sol couldn't stand It any longer, could he? He just had to come out and see what was going on. There la a sneaking suspicion -about that he refused to stand for that shabby treat ment he received yesterday afternoon. No need of much comment on those Stygian black p. m. hours. Weather -phenomena, to say the least, are rather general,. In their application. But that things .were not as they should be waa obvious, even If ' the ' furniture was not, and barked' shins were the order of the day as a consequence. Be that as It may, today is another day and 'the full .week of un mentionable weather Is gone and already forgotten. For this Is the optlmlstio time of year and most folks' thoughts are oh the coming Joyous season. There Is not' much time at present to mppe oyer the past performances of weather or any thing else, for that matter, with pater familias' cigars to be bought, not to mention gifts for his proverbial "slaters and his cousins and his aunts." Yes, It's Clear at last, but It was about time. FORECAST ' For Philadelphia and yicnUy. Fair tonight; Sunday cloudy-and. n eettUd; not much change in tempera ture; moderate viestwinde.
