SINKING OF THE HAMIDIEH.
FINE COURAGE OF OFFICERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, December i. After the Hamidieh had a hole driven in her by a torpedo the officers gave fine examples of courage and daring. They took the vessel across the open sea to the Golden Horn, and arrived with the decks only 18 inches above water.
She practically sank at the entrance to the docks. She took this course rather than hug the coast, .fearing that the crew would mutiny and insist oa beaching the vessel. EFFORTS FOR PEACE. ARMISTICE ARRANGED. BRITISH AND GERMAN PRESS. BERLIN, December i. All Constantinople despatches agree that an armistice will be arranged by Monday, also that Bulgaria has relinquished her claims to Adrianople. German newspapers are giving prominence to the friendliness of the British newspapers towards Germany.
