That Vice Admiral Cartel, commanding

gagement lnsldo tho strait on Thursday
was the roport that gained much credence
' hire today.
Unofficial denials camo from tho Ad-
1 rolralty. It wan stated that, nslde from
the loss of tho Trench battleship Bouvet
tnd tho British battleships Irresistible and
Ocean, no sorlous casualties hnd been
suffered by tho fleet. Dispatches to tho
Admiralty early today Indicated that
Vorts Kllld Bnhr and Chanak, guarding
the Dflrdnnolles narrows, wero heavily
damaged before the Anglo-French fleet
withdrew.
An official report Issued by tho Turkish
, Wr Ofllce declares that tho three bat
tleships wero sunk by torpedoes. Tho
5! report of the British Admiralty announced
that mo losses wero uuo to mines tnat
the Turks had set afloat.
The Turkish report Insists that tho

v Ocean, which tho British Admiralty ad
mits was sent to the bottom, was of
similar construction to the Africa, and
the Turkish observers might easily hnvo
assumed that Bho was tho latter vessel.
The Africa Is a larger vessel, displacing
1J.S50 tons and was of moro modern con-
Sj Itruction, having been built In 1505.
A later Constantinople dispatch states
ihat the Africa was sunk in addition to
the threo battleships previously reported.
According to these dispatches, submarines
took an active part In defending tiio
Dardanelles for. This claim l.q o-n-
i phatlcally denied by the Admiralty,

An earnest effort Is now being made to

"If these pilots will bear with patience
their share of a general depression, they
