BRITISH SHIP SUNK.
AMSTERDAM, August 28
The Hamburg Nachrichten describes the sinking of a British trap ship by a big Geman submarine. T-3 latter sighted a steamer of 1500 tons, which excited attention by her high bridge, high deck erections, r.nd wild, zig-zag course. The submarine put in her last torpedo, which blew up the trap ship, the latter sinking three minutes after a second explosion in the boiler-house. Only a single boat was launched, containing six survivors, who confessed that the ship was a submarine trap ship. The captain and all the officers perished.
