United Press Association. (Received 8.45 a.m.) Rotterdam, November 23. Six submarines were brought overland to Zeebrugge, but the strictness of the guard makes it impossible to say yet whether they were placed in the water. TWO VESSELS SUNK. . KRONPRINZ WILHELM AT WORK ON THE HIGH SEAS. (Received 9 a.m.) London, November 23. The Kronpriz Wilhelm sunk the La Correntina and the French barque Union, the passengers and crews being landed at Buenos Aires. i • GERMAN INTENTIONS IN THE ATLANTIC. London, November 22. The Daily Mail’s Copenhagen correspondent reports that the cruiser Berlin is bound from Wilhelmshavcn for Iceland, and thence for the South Atlantic to intercept British trans-At-lantic liners. Another cruiser is reported to be going to Iceland with the same object. It is understood that 'the Berlin is equipped for mine-strewing along the Atlantic routes, also for provisioning depots suitable for submarines among the uninhabited Norwegian islands.

THE SACRAMENTO’S GOAL. ' ’ . » Santiago tie Chile, November 22. The steamer Sacramento, which has just arrived at Valparaiso, reports that she was seized by German warships, taken to Juan Fernandez Island, and obliged to transfer her cargo of 6000 tons of coal. The Chilian authorities are investigating the affair. The American authorities had previously detained the Sacramento on passing San Francisco, not being satisfied as to the destination of the cargo, and questioned the vessel’s transfer to the American registry. Eventually she was allowed to proceed. The Sacramento brought to Valparaiso the crew of the French barque Valentina, which the Dresden sank.
