(Special to the Whig.) Buenos Aires, Jan. 18.--Survivors declare .that the German raider al- ways used the Danish or British, flags until she was close to her vietim, when she ran up the German ensign. It is believed here that the activities of the British navy will soon put an end to the raider's depredations, There are still from 300 to 500 members of the crews of sunken ves- sels unaccounted for, and they may be lost. Four fast cruisers, including the famous Glasgow, which took part in the Coronel battle two years ago, are understood to be leading the hunt for the raider. A Japanese cruiser is steaming nofthward for Punta Arenas to join in the chase. In ad- dition to the Glasgow, the British warships seeking the raider are un- derstood to be the Vindictive, Orama and Edinburgh Castle. 63 American on Board. (Special to the Whig.) Philadelphia, Jan, 18.--At least 63 Americans were aboard the Brit- ish steamers Georgic and King George which sailed from Philadel- phia, and which are reported sunk by the German raider. Sixty of the Americans were aboard the Georgic having shipped as horsemen, fore- men or assistant foremen. Most of them came from New York. Among those aboard were Dr. J. E. Davis, a surgeon, of New York, and Dr. O. E. McKim, Watertown, N.Y., veterinar- ian. These were three Philadel, phians on the King George. They shipped as firemen, International complications will ensue if the American lives were sacrificed, contrary to international law, according to a broad official hint to United Press to-day. It was indicated that the authorities are far from hopeful in the peace situation at this moment, Raider Reported Destroyed. (Special to the Whig.) Toronto, Jan. 18.-- The Star in its late edition this afternoon carries the following despatch from Oftawa: * "It is stated on high but unofficial authority this afternoon that the Ger- man raider has been destroyed. There is no confirmation." MANITOBA LEGISLATURE ee Premier Norris Refers to National Service. Winnipeg, Jan, 18.--Premier Nor- ris addressed the lature in the Gebate on the ad 8 in reply to the Speech from the Throne, rising to- warll the close of his effort to a high pitch of eloquence and feeling on the subject of National Service. He iound it hard to understand, he said, how at this time men could baek away from the great cause on some quibble, ' fighting by the side of England for free insti- tutions, democracy amd liberty. It was the plain duty of every man who enjoyed the blessings " Dealing with the prov'neial situa- on," Premier formances Editor's Note--Mr, Bushell certain- ly" deserves great credit for the zest he has put into the work of manag- ing the only local fair, and for the efforts. 'The city is proud of him, and we feel sure that his fellow-resi- dents in the county esteem him nc less highly than we do. The reports of fall fairs held east of Toronto, which have so far been received, show a deficit in every single instant- ance. That Mr. Bushell has produc ed a surplus is, to our way of think- ing, a marvellous thing. "Why any- one should feel disappointed because the surplus was net larger comes as a surprise. Mr, Bushell is peculiarly fitted to manage such an institution; it would be impossible to find, in city or township. another man as well qualified. So here's to you, Bob Bushell!
