130 British Marines Perished When the Amphion
0 Sank of the Coast of Holland •
A despatch from London says:
An Admiralty report says that the
• British cruiser Amphion was sunk
by striking a mine. Paymaster T.
T. Gedge and 130 men were lost. '
The captain; • 16 'officer& and 135
men were saved.
The German mine -layer Koenigen
Luise had -pldc'ed some mines be-
fore she was sunk by the British
torpedo-boat Lance. It was the
Lance, not the Amphinia which
sent the 'German mine -laying
Steamer Koenigen Luise to the
bottom.
The Koeningen Luise was out
laying mines, 60 miles from Har-
wich, of the coast of Holland. The
• Lance fired four shots. The first
two were fired over the Koenigen
Luise, but the third smashed the
bridge. The fourth carried away
the stern of the German ship,
leaving a gaping hole. The sea
rushed in, and the Koenigen sank
in six minutes. „
Most of the crew jumped into he
sea,,and some of them were picked
up by the British sailors. '0
Twenty-eight prisoners were
landed, at Harwich., Four •of the
German wounded lela their legs
and two their arms. The British
had no casualties.
Capt. Fox'who was in command
of the Amphion, was a midshipman
on board the British warship Cal-
liope, the only warship which es-
caped destruction in the, terrific
Samoa, tornado of 1889.
The Amphion was of the Boadicea
class of vessels. The last of these
boats to be launched was the Fear-
less, and the total number in the
navy is seven.

Lhe forts of Liege, which are thirty

FACING SITUATION CALMLY.
Lack of Hysteria Noticeable in
French Capital.
A despatch .from Paris says:
While troops move through Paris
streets on their way to the .front
there is a remarkable spirit Of con-
fidence and a general lack of hys-
terical excitement among the citi-
zens who are being left in the city.
This assurance, so universal every-
where in the city that. French arms
are to be victorious, is no doubt
added to by the constant reports
coming from Belgium that the
troops there a.re successfully hold-
ing back the German invasion. The
general feeling that France is des-
tined during this war to get full
revenge for 1870, and the confi-
dence that is everywhere expressed
has made at marked impression on
all still marooned within the city.
Hourly the impression is gaining
strength that the war will not last
long, cannot last long, because
Germany, cut off as she is, will
soon be forced to capitulate or
starve to death. There is even a
well-defined feeling here that when
the pinch of famine comes, if the
Kaiser does not submit of his own
accord, he will be forced to do so
by popular revolts within his em-
pire. Even with France at war
artd a great part of her male popu-
lation enrolled and off to the front,
all of the lightsomeness of the
Parisian spirit is not lost. There
are humorous incidents on every
hand. Above many of the shops
that have been closed, for instance, -
are suspended posters making light
announcements of the cause of
business suspensions. Here are the
words on a placard posted in the
window of a barber shop in the
Rue Royale: "Our clients are here-
by notified that we have transfer-
red our staff to Nancy." Nancy is
a city on the French frontier,
MANY PRIZES OF WAR.

the north of Scotland. A man sus-
pected of being a spy and several
carrier pigeons were found aboard.
The British steamer Kemerick,
from Galveston for Bremen, was
captured off West Fastnet and
taken to Queenstown. The Kerner -
ick had 49,000 quarters of wheat
aboard for the Germans.
