Till: IIAGCF, April 16. Repeated German attacks upon Dutch shipping, culminutin in the destruction of the Dutch steamer Katwyk, was the subject of a loud discussion at a special cabinet meeting today. It was decided to make another protest to Berlin and to instruct the minister of Holland there to insist upon a reply bein- made at the earliest possible, moment. Previous attacks upon Dutch shippinghave been regarded as possibly due to the diiticulty of determining their identification. The wireless operator of the North Hinder lightship has reported that tho Katwyk was at anchor when torpedoed and that he saw a German submarine in the vicinity for two hours before the Katwyk wes attacked. The Katwyk was plainly marked to

LONDON, April 16. Tremendous excitement has been aroused in Holland, according to dispatches received here Thursday night, by the destruction of the Dutch government steamer Katwijk by a German submarine. The Katwijk 'was torpedoed and sent down while riding at anchor oil Noordhinder lightship off the coajst of
Holland. She was a vessel of 2,0 4 1 tons, registered in Rotterdam and bound for that port from Baltimore
with an American cargo of corn and cotton. She had been chartered by the government of The Netherlands and her cargo was government owned. The sinking of the Katwijk, coming as it did on the heels of the seizure of four Dutch trawlers, the St. Nicholas, Eentwee, Rynland and another a-s yet unidentified by a German torpedo boat, which took them to Cuxhaven, has aroused the Dutch government to take hasty steps to demand immediate and complete reparation. The Katwijk sailed from Baltimore on March 27. She had been chartered from her owners, Erhardt-Dekkers of Rotterdam, for this purpose by the queen's government. She had almost reached her home port and was an
chored about seven miles off Noordhinder lightship when struck by the torpedo. Ker crew of 22 were rescued by the lightship. Submarine Was Seen. A German submarine has been hovering in the vicinity of Xoordhinder for several days, other vessels having
been attacked near the scenes of the Katwijk destruction. A dispatch from Rotterdam Thursday night quotes the Telegraaf of that city, as spying: 'The fact is plain that a Dutoh ship chartered by the Dutch government, was sunk within sight of the Dutch coast by a submarine of a state professing friendly relations with Holland. "How many similar proofs of friendship shall we receive before we declare ue prefer open enmity." This is not the first attack on Dutch vessels by German submarines. The capture of several steamers, which were taken into Zeebrugge, was explained by the Berlin government as a military measure as they were found to be carrying supplies to the Belgian army. Holland accepted this explanation.
To Demand Kedress. An Exchange Telegram dispatch from Rotterdam says that the sinking of the Katwijk has caused the deepest resentment throughout Holland. Even German sympathizers have expressed disgust at the action of German submarines in disregarding neutral Hairs. When torpedoed the steamer was flying the Dutch flag at her masthead. The torpedo tore a huge hole In the starboard side of the vessel through which the water poured. The missile set the ship afire. Atlame and sinking the crew tried desperately to savo tho vessel. A second torpedo put an end to their efforts. The men took to
the boats and then for the first time observed the periscope of a submarine in the distance. No warnin? had been given them before the attack on the steamer. It was impossible, the sailors said, when brought into Flushing, to determine tho nationality of the submarine. The Katwijk was built in 1903. Sho
was 2 S 1 feet long and had sailed the trans-Atlantic trade routes since her launching. Another ship Sunk. Earlier in the day reports reached London of the sinking of the British steamer ptarmigan by a German submarine in the same vicinity as th attack on the Katwijk. The Ptarmigan was torpedoed, apparently by the same submarine, a, short distance west of Noordhinder lightship, and sank within a few minutes, taking 11 of her crew of 22 down wtih her. Eleven were rescued by the lightship. The Ptarmigan had a tonnage of 475 net and was built at Dundee in
1S01. She was 21? fet long. "0 bw and 16 feet deep. She was owned by the General Steam Navigation Co. The admiralty, through the ot'icial bureau, Thursday nlcht issued a statement 'to the eftect that two Brifih merchant ships, including th Harp.i'yce. were torpedoed by German, submarines during th we-k ending April 14. The Harpalyce was sent to the bottom. The othr vessel wai towed to port. Th" total tonnjge f the two ships was A dispatch from ('hristiania stat" that r.00 mines have hfn wash'L ashore on the Norwegian coast and destroyed.
