BRITiSH SHIP ESCORTS STEAHER INTO PORT

Reports Capturing German Tanker At First Believed To Be The Kronprinz Wilhelm.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The British cruiser Suffolk steamed into the entrance to New York harbor and to WtoafGix a mile axid a half of the bar morning, clearing the way for a -safe passage for the British tramp steamer New York City from Madeira.

Aboard the New York City were important dispatches for the British consul here, placed there by officers of the Suffolk an hour before.

The Suffolk's officers told officers ot the New York City that they had captured a German oil tank steamer two days ago also that the Suffolk had sighted a supposedly German cruiser with a consort recently and had given chase to the vessels, but that they had eluded her.

The tank steamer captured by the Suffolk was taken, officers of the New "York City said, either to Halifax or Bermuda, they did not learn which. It was considered probable that the vessel was taken to Bermuda. Yesterday it was reported that a British cruiser was taking a German vessel as a war prize to Bermuda. The name of this vessel was given as the Kronprinz Wilhelm one of the big trans-Atlantic steamers of the North German Lloyd line. In view of the story told by officers of the New York City, it was thought today that this was incorrect and that the prize -was the German tank steamer.

GERMAN CAVALRY TOLD TO RAID BRUSSELS, SAYS REPORT

-Military Authorities State That Idea Is To Levy War Contributions or to Seize the Treasury.

BRUSSELS, Via London, Aug. 11.— Military authorities here assert that the German cavalry divisions were told to make a raid on Brussels with the object, it is believed, either of levying war contributions or of seizing the treasury. It is argued that they evidently reckoned on not meeting any Belgian resistance.

As evidence that the German plans to traverse Belgian territory were known to well informed Germans here it is pointed out that a celebrated chateau in Belgium belonging to a German prince "was emptied six weeks ago, all the silver, works of art and other valuables being sent to Germany.

ber of Commerce, and passed by the railroad attorneys. All that remains now is the money transaction. The land, which is a long strip' west of the Dewey station, Is particularly suited for yard purposes* being level, and with little work could be converted into a gravity yard. The amount of the transaction is $35,000.

At a joint meeting Monday night between the representatives of the various railroads entering the city and the committee, on public safety and comfort of the city council, Superintendent Glidden, of tho C. & E. I. railroad, mentioned the fact that soon all the campaany's yards would be removed from the city and It Is thought when this is done many of the day and night watchmen provided for In the proposed safety gate ordinance now in the hands of the committee will be eliminated.

Ball Taiks of Sale.

In discussing the matter Mr. Ball said: "We-thought by selling the tract of iland we could better greatly the congested conditions. One of the terms of the agreement is that the company) shall make connections with the Southeastern railroad and run its freights around the belt and over the viaduct at Wabash avenue, thus eliminating all long trains north and south In the city. We think the transaction is one of the biggest helps to the city that has ever been brought about through the Chamber of Commerce."

In case the deal goes through, and It is believed it will, the railroad company will abandon the Locust and Poplar strget yards and do all its switching at the new yards- It is possible also that the South yards, below Hulman street, will be abandoned, but this has not been decided upon.
