A Gorman naval communique. says: The Moewe (which is reported to have an-ived at Wilhelmshaven. on the Kiel Canal) brought four-British officers, 29 British marines aid sailors, and 166 members of the crews of enemy ships, including I'o3 Indians; also a million marks worth of gold bars. The vessels sunk by the Moewe. included the Saxon Prince and the French steamer Maroni. The communique adds: "Tho Moewe laid mines on the enemy coast, to which the battleship King Edward VII. fell a victim amoin_ others." The coiumniandcr of the Moewe las been given the Iron Cross, and summoned to meet the Kaiser to rcp-n his adventures. Tho whole of thtcrew have received Iron Grosses .if tie', second class. Tlie Moewe's return is eucring extravagant comments in the newspapers, and Berlin is beflagged m honour of the event. .--'-.■ in ■',- ■ " ; The Tagesblatt states th-it the Emden spirit ever lives in tie Gorman navy. - > .- The Vossische- Zeitung says ihe Moewe proves to England that German < is the self-appointed world ru ! er, and i.s also unconquerable a 4. s<\".
