M—A dispatch from Teueriffe, Canary Islands, to the Daily Mail. " under date of Thursday, reports that the German cruiser Karlsruhe has sunk thirteen British merchantmen in the Atlantic. The news of the Karlsruhe's exploit, according to the Daily Mail s Teneriffe correspondent, was brought to this port by the steamer Crefeld. which arrived there with the crews of the British steamers Strathrov, Maplebranch, Highlandhope, Indrani. Rio Igu assu. Farn, Niceto, Maria de Larrinaga. Cervantes. Cornish City, Pruth, Condor and Lvnrowan. all of which were sunk by the Kals ruhe. The Crefeld was accompanied into port by the German steamers Patagonia Rio Negro and Asuncion. A later message states that over 400 men of the crews are prisoners and that the merchantmen were mostly sunk in the Atlantic. The ships were mostly engaged in the South American trade and their total tonnage is about 60,000. The cruiser Karlsruhe, a ship of a trifle less than 5.000 tons, has had in this war a career as eventful in the Atlantic as that of her smaller sister ship, the Emden, in the Indian ocean. The Karlsruhe first came into notice at the outbreak of the war when she appeared in the vicinity of Sandy Hook apparently in wait for British merchant men leaving New York. For a few days the British ships hugged their piers and then came news that the Karlsruhe had been driven away by the approach of several British cruisers. On August 9 the Karlsruhe appeared in the harbor of San Juan. Porto Rico, where she coaled and then again took to the seas. Soon after it was learned that the Karlsruhe had been in a sensational running fight at sea with the British cruisers Suffolk and Bristol. Karlsruhe while she was coaling from the German steamer Kronprinz Wilhelm. The cruisers engaged in a running fight while the Kronprinz Wilhelm. through her superior speed, easily escaped. The Karlsruhe also eluded her pursuers and an unconfirmed report had it that she damaged the Bristol in this fight. Since then the Karlsruhe has appeared in several West Indian ports for coal after preying in various southern seas on British commerce. An official statement, given out in Berlin on October 3, said she had sunk seven British steamers in the Atlantic. BELGIANS REGAIN LOST GROUND London. Oct 23. SA. M—A dispatch from Havre to the "Daily Telegraph states that the Belgians regained the right bank of the Yser river on Wednesday, and are prepared to move forward. The Germans and allies continue to-day their desperate game of g'.ve and taice in west Flanders and northeastern France, neither side claiming a decisive advantage. French warships are said to have joined the British naval forces forming the extreme left of the allies and fresh German reinforcements are reported constantly coming up. Not before since the opening of hostilities have the warring forces appeared to have been so evenlv matched. T:ie ahies war craft iu the straits of Dover are shelling the German right without stopping the onslaught* of the German land forces. The allied armies have gained ground at several points and been forced to fall back at others. This afternoon's French official state ment says that violent attacks are being made bv the Germans all alone the line from the sea to canal La Bassoe. They have also de livered heavy blows in the region of Arras and on the river Somrae. t»enerally the allies have held their own though pushed back from some positions. They have progressed to the north and on the south of the river Somrae and in the regions of Verdun and Pont-a-Mousson. The Germans appear to be making a new effort with new organi zations between the North Sea and the Oise. Paris learns unofficially that fresh troops have given a new impetus to the German attack on the French right wing" Russian advices continue to insist that the German advance on "Warsaw has been turned into a retreat. It is admitted, however, that Germans and Austrian* still hold the Vistula south of the Pilica river Berlin and Vienna report Austrian successes south of Przemysl. The fast G.-rman cruiser Karlsruhe has become a rival of the Ger man cruiser Kmden as a destroyer of the enemy's merchant vessels. Word comes from the Canary Islands that the Karlsruhe has sunk 13 British merchantmen in the Atlantic. A dispat.-h from Pekin says that a German torpedo boat destroyer which es. aped from Kiao-l how bay was eaptured bv warships of "the allies. The German pres* generally charge outrages against the allied troops. The " Vorwaerts." the Socialist organ of Berlin, is an excep tion. It states that upon investigation it has found no basis of truth in the allegations of cruelties inflicted upon German soldiers and civilians. A news dispatch from Copenhagen says that the shipyards at Kiel are constructing a fleet of thirty armored lighters which may be used in transporting a German land force to the shores of England.

Oct. 32.—Dr. Mar tin G. Brumbaugh, Republican _undi dute for Governor, before beginning his address to-night, issued a signed state ment in reply to an article in an up-1 State newspaper. The article pretended to quote the Rev. l>r. Stough, evangelist. Dr. Brumbaugh in his statement says: "1 have just been advised that thei Rev. Mr. Stough is reported in a Clear | fieki newspaper, dated tVti>ber 20. as saying at Dubois: " 'The gang who traveled with Brumbaugh when he made his tour through Clearfield county were half i drunk. Brumbaugh himself was led from the club rooms and put to bed by Joe Sensinger. the leading hotel man ofi Dubois, and so it was all through the' i trip.' "I can scarcely believe that a so ! called evangelist would write such a 1 slanderous lie. I shall at once consult and give him and the paper a reason able time to make explanation and j apology. It must be made decisively and a« üblicly as the libel was issued j or I shall see that the full consequences: ■ of the law are meted out. ■' Fortunately for me. my whole life , is an elTe-tive and eopvineing answer ' to such villainous slander. I am not and, never have been a drinking man. The truth is that iu this entire campaign I have not been asked to touch liquor, j and I have not at any time, at any i pla e, tasted even a drop of any sort of i intoxicating liquors. "I do not intend to allow any one, even in the garb of a calling that ought to be heaven-hiffh above scandal, slan- j j der and lying, to reflect upon my ropti- j tation or attack my character." W. W. Shannon, preliminary organ-' : izer of the Stough campaign in this city, after he had seen the statement made ' by Dr. Brumbaugh, said this afternoon that he has kept in touch with the Du-! bois campaign ♦hrough newspapers ot j that city but has seen no item concern- j i ing accusations by I)r. Stough such as 1 are referred to in the "Ledger." He: and other Stough representatives here 1 are inclined to doubt that Dr. Stougll ! ever made such accusations. When asked whether he believes Dr. : Stough will dwell very strongly on poli- I ti'-s during his campaign in this city, I '< Which opens just before election.

Mr. Vare said: " 'The North American, a daily I newspaper of Philadelphia, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday qf this week I published an editorial statement of in-| formation purporting to have been giv en to its editors by Senator Boies Pen i rose, to wit: " 'That I, William S.

" 'lf Senator Penrose or any other j person made such a statement to the j ; editors of the newspaper or elsewhere I ■it was an absolute lie, without the' slightest foundation in fact or in truth,! and was made to injure my candidacy j for Mayor of Philadelphia at that time, and for no other purpose. " 'lf Senator Penrose did not give; ! this false information to the North i American it is up to him, as a candi-1 date for the United States Senate, to so ! deny it that the public will be satisfied of its falsity.' "After adjournment Mr. Vare was asked if he would insist upon Mr. Pen rose taking aggressive action against the editors of the North American, if h e thought they should be brought into court. He refused to amplify what he had said on the floor. 'Just say that ij have nothing to add to my statement in the House.' he answered. "In spite of the Congressman's ' reticence, however, his manner of speech left little doubt that he is at the parting of the ways with Penrose unless the Senator takes a decided stand not only for his own vindication, but for the vindication of Mr. Vare as well.'' • Hunters Get Three Bears Three blaick bears and a number of pheasants were killed in the northern part of the State by a hunting party which has just returned to tfhis city, consisting of J.
