M.—-Most of the survivors of the aux iliary cruiser Bayano. torpedoed off t Lie coast of Scotland by a German subma rine. left for Portsmouth by train last n:ght. In clothing contributed by sym pathizers and still suffering trom their experiences they were gratefui to have vseaped death Tiiose who were in jured are stili :n a uospital here. 'The survivors say there was uo panic aboard the Bayauo," but there was bo time to tiie boats before the ves sel sank. It wa- a ase of every man for himself, but none of them left the «.30 o'-clock Thursday morning, four miles from Blockhead, he saw a low lyiug object in the water. His first impression was that it was a submarine, but he did not alter his course until after a closer inspection, when a cluster of men were observed making signals with garments attached to an oar. "When the collier got closer the crew of the Balmerino found two r3t'ts and a ship's boat upturned with 2i> lueu on oi.e of them. Plight of the Survivors "Two of the men." said the cap tain, "had no clothing other than shirts aud others only their sleeping gar ments. One had an ugly wound on his head and was covered with biood. while nearly all of them were bra.sed and bleeding. They were more dead than alive from wet, cold and exposure, but cheered us as we neared them. Boats were promptly lowered and the men were transferred, whieh rook a long time, owing to the d.Sieulty of moving tiie wounded aud famishe 1 members oi the group." The captain said that two of the res cued men wer» a. far gone that in an other iialf-houi. he believed, they would s.ave perished. Eighteen of the men on the raft, including two doctors, were removed to the Balmerino. After these were safely got aboard, a boat was making a second journey to the raft when the armed merchantman Tara arrived on t.ie scene and took off tha remaining eight survivors. The Bayano Quickly Sank "The men were given warm clothing and restoratives." continued tne cap tain. "Thev were overjoyed at their rescue. They said the Bayano sank within a few nunutis after being tor pedoed. There was a terrific explosion and the vessei went down by the bows. The explosion created a great amount of damage and some of the life boats were smashed and rendered useless. "The men were left in the water in the darkness, clutching for any piece of wreckage to which they could cling. Heartrending tales of the last awful moment were told by tiie group rescued by the Balmerino. They believed themselves to be the only survivors, a* they saw no other rafts with men on them." The Balmerino proceeded to Ayr with the rescued men and returned "to Belfast to-dav. London, March 13, 4.35 A. M.—The auxiliary cruiser Tara has landed six survivors of the Bayano at Stranraer, on the eoast of Scotland. Glasgow, Via London. March 13, 4.22 A. M.—The Bayano left here Wednesday night. She had been taken over by the Admiralty only recently. The steamer was equipped 'with wire less. IT PAYS TO USE STAB INDEPBNDENT WANT ADS. MAY BE APPEALS 111 PERRY COUNTY r«Mliird From First Pw licenses which, among other things, re quired the applicant to provide at his tavern at least four sleeping rooms, eight beds and stable accommodations. The ••restaurant" licenses applied only to joint saloons and lunch bars. By the time the appellate court de cision was rendered the then proprietor of the station restaurant thought it un wise to seil liquor at his station stand and he did not again make an applica tion. However, in the next succeeding lieeuse court a new form of liquor li cense application was adopted in this : county, containing the specific request for ''a license and. of coarse, set ting out whether it was retail, whole sale. bottlers, distiller's or brewer's. Under the ninth paragraph of Sec tion 5 of the Perry county appflca tions the license applicants' bondsmen certified that "they are not directly or indirectly interested" in the manufac ture of malt or brewed liquors. Barnett argued that the law requires this cer tification to be an atlidavit that the ap plicant himself and not the bondsman" is not interested in the manufacture, etc,'" and the court also sustained him on that point. It is believed that Judge Seibert will hand down a written opinion in the Perry license .'ases in which he will set out his "specific reasons for not being in favor of granting toe li cense." and Harrisburg attorneys to iay said that opinion will pave the wav for the Perry county hotel men to ap peal the -ases to the Superior Court. However, it is said, that if the court writes no opinion and simply writes the word "refused" across the applications, then the applicants will be in no position to appeal, since the court's decision would not raise a legal point which could be subjected to the higher court for consideration. Attorneys here say that the Perry county court's failure to grant the li cense applications "because of the technicality," is of interest generally because of the fact that the county goes "dry" after April 1 and, they -ay. it raises legal points that concern every county in the State.

LftTE WAR"NEWS SUMMARY Continued From Flrat Pifft as no serious engagements were In progress except in the vicinity of Neuve Chappelle. The German war office states that the new attack in Northern Poland has thus far been successful and that the Russians have been compelled to fall back beyond the Bobr river. An announcement from the French ministry of marine states that the bombardment of the Dardanelles was continued yesterday but leaves In doubt the amount of damages Inflicted on the Turkish fortifications. The statement refers to an attack on bat teries commanding the Bay of Morto at the entrance to the Dardanelles and to mine sweeping operations in the first mine field. Previous official reports gave the Impression that the forts at the entrance of the straits had been badly damaged If not destroyed, that the defense works at the narrowest part of the passage were under attack and that one-third of the straits had been cleared of mines. The German movement In North Po land is developing rapidly, Is straining the resources of the Russians to pre vent a further advance and the pene tration of their fortified line. The Russian war office reports that the German advance on Przasnysz, said by Berlin yesterday to have been pushed within two and one-half miles of the city, had been checked. The Germans are bringing in new forces and attempting flanking movements. The Turkish armies in Turkish Armenia, along the Black Sea and in Northwestern Persia have sustained further defeats. In Armeniathe Rus sians captured the entire Turkish bat tery and in Persia the Turks were again compelled to fall back, j It is reported in Rome that Austria , has refused to discuss the cessation of Trieste to Italy and is willing to yield < only a small part of the province of Trent.

M.—The Italian government continues to maintain an impenetrable silence re garding negotiations reported to be un der way with Austria concerning ter ritorial concessions.

There axe persistent reports in Rome that Austria has refused absolutely to even discuss the possible cession of Triest and would concede only a small part of Phe province of Trent. The assertion is made in military cir cles that Italy now is prepared for any eventuality.
