BOAT IS DOING PATROL DUTY i
.-
BH1NDI91, Italy. April
Paris, April 2. (11
layea in ,
Transmission.) The French cruiser,
Leon Gnnibetta has been torpedoed j
by the Austrian submarine U-6 in t na,
Strait of Otranto. the waterway lead-
,ng to the Adriatic Sea.
The first report of the destruction ;
: of this cruiser came from the men
on duty at tho semaphore station of
I Santa Maria Leuca. These men at
!once gave the alarm and vesrels were
sent out to the aid of the Leon Oam
betta from Brindinl, Taranto, Otranto
and Barl. ,
Watehta Strait.
Since the beginning or Anlo-Krench
rparatlons against the PardsnePes lha
French warships In the Adriatic hava
limited their activities la watching ths
Btralt of Otranto. with the Idea of pre
venting any Austrian a il iuatlne escaping
from the Adriatic, at the head of which
is ,rola, the Austrian navnl base, and
reselling the coast of Turkey. This pa
trol dutywlfs parllVularly to proiet the
vessels of the elites operating aralnsl he
Ufcrdaneiles.
The submarine which attacked' the Leon
Oambetta came from Catt.ro. on the
eastern coast of tli Adriatic, an Ai.slrlnn
port about 800 miles from Bants Maria
uca point. This dlstsnee could have
cn traveled by the submarine In sbout
! twenty hours.
Three French cruisers were last night
watching the strait between the Island
of Corfu snd the Italian ooaat.
Their Po.Mlow.
It appears that they took up a position
about half way between Santa Maria
Leuca and the Greek island of Othonl.
lb ere the craft waited for Its pray, and
when the opportunity afforded discharged
its torpedo against the I-eon Oambetta,
which was one of three French cruisers
doing patrol duty.
It is believed the Leon Oambetta had
on board' a craw ' numbering 714 men. In
cluding twenty-two officers. A majority'
cf thagmea vara asleep at ths time ths
crttlner- was sunk.
From Information gathered from vari
ous survivors it is possible to construct
the story of tile disaster as follows: .
Farts with dales Ferry. -
The Leon Oambetta parted company
with the French cruiser Jules Ferry last
night to cross the Strait of Otranto with
a vtaw to co-operating with other French
ships In an attempt to block ths Austrian
fleet If It should seek to leave the Adrt
atlo. This was no unusual maneuver, as
ths Leon "Oambetta for months had been
going up and down the coast.
The. sea . was perfectly . calm and the
' moon shone, brightly. Although the Leon
Oambetta showed no lights snd adopted
trie other customary precautions, there
was ne suspicion of danger.
At midnight the warship wss sbout
twenty miles from Cape Bant a Maria
Leuca. The lookout could see distinctly
the lights on ths Italian' coast. At sea
nothing appeared on the horlson. .
Fearfal Bleat Follows.
Suddenly there was a fearful explosion,
which shook the cruiser fore and aft.
Officers and man remained calm, and.

he conferred with former United
States Senator Thomas C. Piatt

ing body of the state disagreeing, with
him to first go to headquarters and
talk things over. Further, as gov
ernor, the colonel said he did net
vant to run any chances of disrupt
ing the republican party.
As president ot ths United Htstes the
colonel roedlly sdmltted he conferred
constantly with the senator from New
York on all manner of things. He said
he valued tho senator's sdvloe snd
wanted to take advantage of his wide
experience.

When Justice Andrews sscended the
bench he warned the jury against read

Mr. Ivlns then asked the colonel
whether he remembered making a speech
st Hudson Falls in 1913.
. "Where la Hudson Falls?" ssksd the
ootcnel. i
Mr. Ivlns replied: "I have never been
governor and consequently I have never
been all over the state."
The speech at Hudson Falls wss read.
In It Colonel Roosevelt wss reported, ss
saying that Mr. Barnes was a menace
to tho stste of New York and that It
be wss a menace befors election he wss
"a menace yet."
'John M. Bowers, Colonel Roosevelt's
chief counsel, objected. Mr. Ivlns , ex
plained to the court that the colonel's
speeches were not being Introduced with
an Idea of compounding the alleged libel,
but with the idea of showing ths colonel's
state ot mind. The objection was over
