THE DEUTSCHLAND.
DEPARTURE REPORTED.
ESCAPE IN THE DUSK.
A. and N.Z. Cable. NEW YORK. August 8.
The German submersible, the Deutschland, after passing the Capes, suddenly increased her speed. A sharp order was given, the decks. were cleared, the masts telescoped, and in a twinkling what appeared to be a dummy funnel disappeared- It is believed her dash was not observed by the waiting warships owing to the dusk and the stormy state of the sea.
Nothing further was seen of the Deutschland after this. It is believed that she has passed the threemile limit and is proceeding to Germany.
The New York Times deprecates the tendency to sympathise with the Deutschland and the suggestion that she should have been given a sporting chance. The paper points out that the object of the submersible's enterprise was to humiliate Great Britain and France.
