BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 18.
The British navy, as represented in South Atlantic waters, is today in full
cry on the hunt for the Gcrmnn raider still at large which to date is be
lieved to have sunk or captured twenty-six Allied merchant ships.
Latest reports account for twenty-four merchantmen rounded up by the
Teutonic raider, and with two additional vessels missing, it is believed they, too,
may have been sunk or captured.
Four fast cruisers, including the famous Glasgow, which took part in the
Coronel battle two years ago, are understood to be leading the hunt for the
raider. One report, as yet unconfirmed, also declares a Jnpancsc cruiser is
steaming northward from Punta Arcnns to join in the chase.
In addition to the Glasgow, the British warships seeking tlfo raider are
understood to be the Vindictive, the Orama and the Edinburgh Castle. The
Vindictive and Glasgow aie cruisers capable of 10 to 25 knots an hour.
The Oramn and Edinburgh Castle are converted cruisers, in commission as
merchant ships before the war, and possessed of great speed.
The aimamerit of the latter two vessels is not known, but the Vindictive
and Glasgow carry batteries of ten, eight and four inch guns.
While search is being made for the raider, described as being of the Vineta
or Mocwc type, the sea is also being combed for the steamship Tinto, which
recently sailed from Santiago under suspicious circumstances.
The belief is growing that the Tinto carried supplies to, the German raider.
When last seen the Tinto was manned by a German crew all Chilians having
been sent back but Chilian and British warships have been unable to locate her.
Suspicion in connection with the German commerce raider was also at
tached to the blacklisted steamship Alaquash, which was scheduled to sail today
from Buenos Aires for New York. The Alaquash flies the American flag, but
she will bo kept under surveillance as long as she is in Argentine waters.
Every endeavor was made today to obtain definite wordas to the French
steamer Admiral Latoucho Troville and the British steamer Araquaya. Both
of these steamships are missing, and it is believed they may have been sunk
or cantur.ee
.Survivors landed from the Hudson M.iru,
tho Japanese vessel raptured by the raider
nnd brought to Pcrnninbuco In charge of a
German crew, told the (list connected story
of the operations of tho raider today.
The latent German sea rover left Kiel
flying tho Danish flat;, the sun Ivors Bald.
The dlspatchou reporting their stories said
they declared sho was In ballast, being
laden only with iron.
Tho German is not only still at large,
l,ut uho Is plentifully supplied with food
- nnd fuel, taken from her Ecoro nnd mora
captures When she sent tho Hudson Maru
thirty nules or so to Pcrnambuco she turned
tall nnd sped away Into the horizon line.
The German adopted tho greatest pre
cautions In guarding her plans from the
hundieds of prisoners taken aboard her
prizes Tho survivors were closely con
fined below decks. They were so numerous
that this .cooping up forced severe hard
ship Moreover tho food served them was
utterly inadequate. All tho survivors
were bitter in their complaint of 111 treat
ment i I
When tho r.ildcjr' left homo waters sho
carried 250 sailors nnd four German officers.
Sho was well provisioned, but In her comb
,1ns of tho seas has aeveial times replenished
her slock of both fuel and provisions from
the cargoes and larders of her pilzes.
The two ships which sailed from Per
nambuco on January 10, now believed also
to have fallen victim to the raider, are the
Britbh steamships Aiaguaya and tho
French freighter Admiral I.atoucho Trevllle,
Doth sailed for Lisbon. ,
Hearch Is being nmdo for these 'two ves
sels, and. In addition, British patrol ships
are reported to be diligently searching ?or
the raider.
U was officially staled that the Hud
on Maru came Into Pernambuco under
a German Crew with the (lerman flag flying
at her masthead. Her commander has not
yet made It known whether he will Intern,
with his prize and crew, or whether he will
discharge passengers, tauo aboard supplies
and make a dash for the open tea, to do
raiding himself.
In the meanwhile, the Brazilian Govern
ment Is preparing sti Iciest surveillance to
prevent any violation of neutrality laws.
The survivors landed at Pernambuco by
the Hudson Maru Included 183 British and
Hindus, flfty-threo French and a few"

PEACE BETTING ACTIVE

NEW YOIUC, Jan. 13. Failure of the
various peaco maneuvers and Gcrmany"s an
nounced determination to fight to the end
has revived betting In Wall street on the
end of, the war.
It was learned today that a foreign
broker ha3 received a large amount? of
money from England to bo wagered that
the war will not end before October.
One bet of $10,000 at even money that
tho war will not be over by the end of
September has been placed and another of
$20,000 against J15.000 that a peace con
ference will not be concluded before the

WHEN LOVE IS SPURNED
Dead Cobbler's Assistant Held in Bail
After Failing to Win
Widow
Mrs. Mary Lean was the widow of a
cobbler, a plain American shoemaker. He
had wooed and won her in ordinary fashion.
Without moonlight accompaniments, music
under a bowered window, or even nn oc
casional sentimental sigh. He had said.
"When I fix a few more shoes, we'll get
married." And he Axed a few more and
they were married and that was about all
there was to It.
Therefore, Mrs. Lean, ojer her husband
died a few months back, could not under
stand the demonstrative Italian love of
Dominlco I.lppo, who had been employed
by her husband as assistant cobbler. The
way he would clasp a tense hand over his
wide heart, sigh and protest his everlasting
lovo for her every time site came dusting1
about the little shop at Third and 1'lne
streets in Camden, rather well, she said,
"It got her goat." .She told him so In
practical, most unromantlc language.
Dominlco I.lppo was held In $300 ball for
court today by Squire Schmldtz. The
trouble was not only that he had opened a
rival shoe shop right next door, but was
audacious enough even then to continue his
protestations of low.
