The British tanker El Ciervo which wirelessed yesterday that she was being pursued by a German submarine at a point 900 miles east of the Virgin Islands, now claims to have sunk the U-boat.
The submarine is stated to have risen to the surface at about 40 yards from the tanker. Sixteen shots were fired at the U-boat which disappeared.—Havas.
British interests may compel the British authorities to establish most reserved but correct relations with the local Chinese authorities in the occupied regions, the same authoritative circles declared.—Havas.
