AT CAPE VERDE ISLANDS

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Jan. 7.
—The German cruiser Karlsruhe
has been at last reported. Steam-
ships between New York and
New Orleans have met her. It is
believed that she is receiving her
supplies at St. Nicholas, one of
the Cape Verde Islands. These
islands belong to Portugal and
are situated on a line betwen the
West Indies Islands and Africa.

Constantinople, Jan. 7.—The
official Turkish statement tells of
a Turkish vietory near Urumiah,
Persia, as a result of which “the
Russian morale has been broken,”

debacle to Turkish arms in the
