WASHINGTON March IS.
Count. Hernstorff the German am-
bassador today received an official
report that the cruiser Dresden was
blown up by her own crew after
having been attacked in neutral
■waters of Chile by Isritish war-
Ships
The official report added thai
British ships began tiring from a
distance of 3000 meters but thai
rather than be destroyed l>y the en-
emy ships the commander of the
Dresden chose to save his crew and
abandon the vessel. The report
came from the German legation at
Santiago Chile.
The German embassy last night
made public the text of the dis-
patch from Valparaiso as follows:
"Wounded officers of the Dresden
make the following statement:
"The Dresden was lying at anchor
tibout &o«i yards from the shore In
Cumberland bay Juan Fernandez
when she won attacked by the Kent
Glasgow and Orama in the early
morning of the 14th. She replied
wfth several shots to the enemy's
iMxh wUich had been opened at a dH
front two to twq and s ball
V"An enemy broadside damaged
tW Dresden * stern whereupon the
■ptpdeii showed the flag of truce
jL Mnt out a flag bunt protest inn
Spiiitt bombardment lu a neutral
! port. The British commander re-
plfed that he had orders to destroy
the Dresden; that the rent would
ha\e to be settled by diplomatic
means and that he would "proceed
with the bombardment unless the
commander of the Dresden blew up
hi* ship himself.
"Thereupon the majority of the
crew was landed the captain re-
> malning on board with a small num-
j ber of men. After blowing up tho
j cruiser the captain and this party
also went ashore. The exact num-
ber of killed.has not yet been de-
termined. It amounts to about three
to ten. A Chilean vessel also was
damaged by pieces of English
-hell otlu r pieces failing on the
ground.
"The Chilean government has
dispatched two cruisers to Juan
Fernandez with orders to investi-
gate the affair. The Dresden did
not haul down tier colors as stated
in the official announcement of the
liritish admiralty which does not
evert mention the fact that the at-
tack took place in a neutral bar-
I bor."

AT DALLAS I'KI.SS IIW^IKT.
A. A. McRoberts was in Dallas
last night where he attended the
Gridiron dinner given by the Dallas
Press dub at the Oriental hot j!.
Kx-Governor O. R. Colquitt was
among the distinguished guest-.
There wore a number of St. Pat-
rick stunts tor the entertainment of
the guests the most spectacular one
being the "death march" act. Thi-
ended in a casket containing a 300-
pound snake being opened to the
fright of one of the hotel waiters.
The twenty seven foot : nake is part
of the collection of 10. W. Copley f *
Oak ('lift. The guests were not ful-
ly convinced of the reality of the
snake till they saw the activity of
the reptile's tongue.
One encounters so much impu-
dence it seems the riot act should be
read more regularly.
