DOINGS IN THE CAPITAL

[By Electkio Telegraph—Copyright] [United Pkess Association.] (Received 10.50 a.m.) Stockholm, September 11.

There are reports of a naval battle between Germans and Russians off Aland Island. Letters from Berlin state that there are crowds outside the newspaper offices devouring bulletins reporting the capture of Russian army corps of thirty thousand, sixty thousand, and even ninety thousand. Every English and French name has disappeared from streets and hotels, which have been re-named. The clock faces showing the time in the principal capitals have London, Paris, and St. Petersburg pasted over. j
