NO NEWS OF REPORTED SEA BATTLE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, September 26. The Official Swedish News Agency broadcast reports of a naval battle off Bergen, saying that windows were broken by concussion on the Norwegian mainland and houses at Bergen rocked. The inhabitants of the Bergen archipelago, the broadcast added, were awakened at daybreak by violent gunfire, and saw flashes from guns at sea beyond the territorial limits. The Admiralty announced that no report had been received of a naval engagement off the Norwegian coast, as would have been the case had one occurred.
