THE DEUTSCHLAND.

A TOUCH OF THE DRAMATIC.

Baltimore, July 28. There was a touch of the dramatic

in tho manner in which a big steamer swung into her moorings last night within sight of the barges which screon the Deutschland from view.

When Captain Koenig and his crew of 29 men start on the voyage, which they hope will take them to Bremen they will have to pass in full view of the Britisher. None of those associated with the submarine will say anything about the presence of the British boat.

Both the British steamer and the Deutschland carry wireless installations, but neither will lie permitted to send messages while in port. The isli vessel is in a position to observe any movement of the submarine.

The searchlight of the Eastern Forwarding Co.'s tug Timmins flashed on the Britisher intermittently throughout the night.

ft has been reported to the officials who are looking' after the Deutschland' s interests that a forco of strangers has been keeping a close watch here on the submarine's movements. Others are said to be stationed at strategic points all down the Chesapeake Bay to the Capes.

RUNNING THE GAUNTLET.

New York, August 2

Tlio Deutschland has not yet made her dash for sea. She is now near Virginia Cape. The weather is rough, and the Allied motor-boats may have a difheuty in scouting. It is believed that there is relatively a small channel seawards, and it is reported that the Allied cruisers have dropped many nets there.

HOMEWARD BOUNDED AT LAST.

New York, August 3. The Deutschland has passed out of Virginia Cape.
