THE SUBMARINE DANGER.
MORE VICTIMS. LONDON, June 11. A submarine sank the Russian barque Thomassi by shell fire 40 miles south of the Old Head of Kinsale. The crew, after six hours in the boats, landed at Queenstown. The Swedish steamer Otago was torpedoed, and her crow landed at South Shields. AMSTERDAM, June 11. The trawler Letty struck a mine or was torpedoed on the Dogger Bank, and her crew perished. SUBMARINE PRISONERS. AMSTERDAM, June 11. The German newspapers regard Britain’s altered attitude towards submarine prisoners as a commendable retreat, proving that German reprisals have achieved their purpose. LONDON, June 12. The Foreign Office has notified the American Ambassador that the submarine prisoners have been released from naval custody and transferred to the militaryauthorities. The British Government expects Germany to send 39 Britishers who are under barrack arrest back to the ordinary detention camps, and requests Mr Page to convey the foregoing to the Ambassador at Berlin.
