NO NEWS OF THE RAIDERS.

LONDON, May 17.
The Daily Telegraph's Milan correspondent states that a motor boat carrying Pellegrini and three others entered Pola harbour stealthily at night. Her light draught enabled the boat to pass over submarine mines, but steel nets and' many surface mines endangered the channel. The boat rapidly approached the Dreadnought and fired two torpedoes. Seaplanes saw both hitting. No news has been received of Pellegrini or his companions, and there is little doubt regarding their fate.
