Reuter's Copenhagen correspondent states that the evening papers report that another German torpedo-boat was sunk on Thursday afternoon by submarine El 9, near 'Faro Island" (a small, island north of Falster Island).

A second torpedo-boat disappeared, and the flotilla again hurried off. The News Exchange correspondent telegraphs from Copenhagen that there is no official news of the naval action, as it was fought three-quarters of a mile „ from the land. Nothing certain was known. A fisherman declares that he sawsome ships disappear after cannonading. Another Copenhagen message states that a British submarine was attacked in The Sound. The submarine fired shells at a torpedo-boat, which was sunk. MIGHT HAVE BEEN A MINE. (Received October 18, 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, 17th October.
