Correspondent Describes Sinking of British Warships As Told By Snrvfvors of Disaster.

BELIEVES TWO OF ATTACKING SUBMARINES WERE DESTROYED

Men Saved From Wreckage After Big Vessels Went Down-In Serious Condition From

Exhaustion.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-8:15 a. m. The correspondent of the Dally Telegraph at Rotterdam sends this story of the sinklug of the three British cruisers by German submarines: "Captain Berkhout, of the steamer Titan, who saved over 100 of the British sailors, witnessed the fight between the cruisers and the "submarines. Some of the rescued sailors claim that two of the three attacking submarines were sunk. As will be seen, only one submarine was seen sailing off. Captain Berkhout told me the following story: "The fight took place about 7 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning, at which time I saw a German submarine tearing away at great speed. "F\sr away on the horizon I saw three cruisers, the Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue, and after a while I noticed that one of them had gone. I did not pay particular attention at the time, but when I next turned to look for them I noticed another had disappeared There was some smoke and I heard a slight explosion. "At once I dashed in their direction •and on arriving in the vicinity lowered away two boats to rescue a large number of men whc I saw swimming about in the water. Altogether I picked up 111 men and three officers. All were naked, for they had thrown off their clothes in the water. One of the officers was Commander W. S. Sells, of Portsmouth. His wrist watch had stopped at 7:05 and it was at 10 o'clock that I picked him up. All were exhausted.

Midshipmen's Experience. "As soon as the commander was brought on board he dropped down in exhaustion. He was given wine and In about ten minutes he came around. Then he smiled and said it was a long swim. "While I was on my way the remaining cruiser rolled over and sank. "When I arrived 1 was pleased to find that two Lowestoft cutters had ireached the spot before me. They were pulling naked men out of the water. One boat was absolutely full of men and other men were struggling all around, but they were nearly exhausted and almost numb from the cold. Many were clinging to wreck age, one group clustering around a floating table. "Commander Sells told me of the trying experiences of a brave little midshipman. It appears that the midshipman was on board the first vessel "which waa struck and as she was settling down he jumped overboard and swam clear of the tremendous vortex whioh the disappearance of the ship bad created. He was picKed up by another of the cruisers but soon she also was struck by the submarine's torpedo and in her turn began to settle down.

Though he had again to Jump into the water he was uninjured by the explosion and cleared the downward suction. A third cruiser rescued him but he had not been on board her before she also received her death wound. Again he got clear and clung to a piece of wreckage from which he was rescued.

Goes Back to England.

"This midshipman was pleased wuen we of the Titan rescued him and we asked if he would come to us. He preferred to go back to England, however, and accordingly we put him on board a destroyer and hope he is safe at home now. The destroyer also took most of the men I picked up. "The Flora picked up over 200 and the Lowestoft's boats rescued others before I came up One destroyer came up too late to rescue any but she took away some of the men to England. These engaged in the work of rescue had to row among floating naked bodies."

manshlp was excellent and both submarines were demolished, according to survivors. This statement, however, is not confirmed from official sources. Meanwhile, from the other side the Cressy herself was torpedoed in two places and sank.

When the attack occurred the cruisers were steaming in a line ahead, three miles apart. The presence of the ?ub marines was unsuspected until two of them were sighted by the Cressy.

No other ships were In sight at the opening of the attack, but the Dutch steamer Flora came in view on the horizon Just after the Hogue sank. The captain of the Flork saw only the Cressy and was about to steam on her way when he saw the Cressy suddenly keel over and go down. He immediately steamed toward the scene and lowered his boats. It was then for the first time that he understood that throe cruisers in all had been sunk. He picked up many sailors clinging to spars and to pieces of wood. Among the survivors is the captain of the Hogue. The captain of the Flora says that several of the English sailing boats are coming to Ymuiden with more survivors.

Three Raic/ers in Party.

From the conflicting accounts given by the survivors here, it seems that there were three German submarines in the attacking party. All hands agree that the Cressy was bravely firing her guns, as she sank, at two of teh German submarines, and these are reported to have been sent to the bottom. As the Flora-was getting ready to s^eam away with the. rescued sailors some, .British destroyers appeared in sight.. 1"

The sailors, far from being discouraged at the mishap, express the conviction that Admiral Jellicoe will now teach the Germans a lesson and that the ships of the line when they come Into action will amply avenge the destruction of the cruisers.

It Is understood that the British sailors will leave tomorrow for a place where they must remain for the duration of the war.

SURVIVORS REACH PORT.

British Seamen on lll-Fated Cruisers, However, Are Not Allowed to Talk. HARWICH, England, Sept. 23.— Survivors to the number of 110 from the British cruiser Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue, which were torpedoed and sunk by German submarines, arrived at Harwich and Parkeeton, three miles west last night. Of the survivors, thirty were officers and the others seamen, and all bore evidence of the trial through which they had passed. According to estimates obtained from the survivors, about 700 men In all, of crews approximating 2,000 men, were saved when the dis aster overtook their ships.

Crowds of townspeople silently watched the arrival of the cruiser and a flotilla of destroyers which carried the survivors and which reached the harbor( at 8 o'clock last night.

All during the latter part of the day the little town had been on tiptoe of excitement and rumors of all kinds had beon rife. I

Tho news of what had happened spread like wildfire, although nobody had been allowed to talk directly with the survivors who were landed soon after 8 o'clock. In the crowd there were many tearful faces, for most of those along the pier and beach had relatives or friends aboard the sunken cruisers.

BRITAIN'S LASH BEHIND FRENCH

Continued From Page One.'

Lord Kitchener, saying that the failure of the French to answer his plea had put the whole army In jeopardy. "Lord Kitchener was furious. He made a secret trip to Paris and laid his complaint against the dilatory French commander, before President Poincare and the French war minister. The latter, #ho was a friend of the general complained against, refused to punish him, whereupon Kitchener threatened the president of France with practical withdrawal of the British expeditionary forces from the field, unless the general was court martialed. "President Poincare, eager to make every concession to Lord Kitchener, forced the resignation of his whole cabinet which was disposed to back up the war minister in opposition to Kitchener. A very serious situation was thus avoided
