GERMAN VESSELS KEEP EYE ON SI. LAWRENCE
Two Sighted Off St. Pierre But Positive Object of Their Appearance Is Not Xnowji.
SYDNErr, N. S., Aug. 3.—Two German cruisers were sighted yesterday off St. Pierre. It is believed that they are from Mexican or West Indian waters. The object of their presence in these waters could not be learned. One explanation of their presence was that they were in quest of coal for a trans-Atlantic voyage.
Captain Postin, in charge of the guard at the cable station at Lloyd cove, was notified by cable from New Foundland of the presence of the German warships and requested that shipping be notified of the fact-
The French cruiser of Friant is said to be near St. Pierre and it was not considered improbable here that the German cruisers are watching that vessel.
That the cruisers were under orders to watch this port and the entrance of the St. Lawrence river was also advanced as a reason for their visit.
