LONDON, Aug. .-(2:.T0 p. m.)-The
Evening News publishes a dispatch from
1-as Talmas. Canary Islnnds. giving an
account of tho sinking of the North Gor
man IJoyd transatlantic llnrr Kaiser Wil
helm IVr Grosee off the coast of Africa
by the r.rltish cruiser High Filer, which j
was reported Thursday.
Lieutenant Dcane, a British army of
ficer, who was taken prisoner by the
Kaiser Wilhelm Der Orosse from tho ,
Prittsh steamer Oallclan on the high , j
Is the authority of tha Ias Palmas cor-
respondent and In an Interview he gives
a prra'phle account of how the great liner
was destroyed.
Lieutenant Ieane was not on board tha
German liner; he had been sent over to
the Collier Arucal, from which the liner I
wan conling. When It was seen that tho
Kaiser Wilhelm Was doomed the German j
captain sent his sword, his dispatch box j
nnd a letter to his wife to the collier, '
his secretary being his messenger. Previ- j
cue to doing this the captain of the liner,
had announced that .he would himself i
Mow up his command rather than eur- j
render. i
When tha High Flier opened firs on the j
liner, Lieutenant Peane continues, the j
collier was still fastened to It by one !
hawser, and owing to some delay certain 1
prisoners on board the liner did not get
a chancS to leave the ship. The Kalaer
Wilhelm was bow on to the High Flier
snd the BVltlsh cruiser had some diffl-1
culty In finding Its mark. It maneuvered
to get broadside on and the ensuing can
nonade lasted for forty minutes. All the
shots from the Kaiser Wilhelm appeared !
to be falling short. From the collier it
was seen that It had been hit three times I
end, on catching fire, ,lt censed replying!
to the shots from the Brltlwh' cruiser. I
When the liner had been silenced the!
time the Arucal, which had separated
from the liner, had gotten too far away
to perceive anything more than that It
was still burning.
The Germans kept on board the Kaiser
Wilhelm only its officers, Its gun crews
and a few engineers. The remainder of
Its men were trar.ferred to the collier.
The Collier Arucal brought also the
crews of three British vessels, the Kat
para, the Nyanga, steamers of 4,741. 1.4B7
tons, respectively, and a fishing
boat, which were transferred off Rio de
Oro, from the Kaiser Wilhelm der Urosse,
which had sunk these vessels before It
was attacked by the High Flyer.

German warfare. 'German troops some
times had to take severe measures when
provoked by the people making treacher
ous attacks upon them or commltlng

falls entirely upon the civil authorities
