London, December 9. It was that the German cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig had f been sunk inthe South Atlantic by" a "British fleet. The following au nouncement was issued by the official information bureau : -v- .''At 7 :30 P. M. on the 8th of December the Scharnhorst," Gneise- naui N'urnb'erg, -Leipzig and Dresden were sighted near the Falkland,- Islands - by Ja' Htish' squadron under ' Vice-Admiral Sir Fredericnfvf:..'::V:Vi'i StAHi action' : foe? iSrtnecourse o'wnic flyingj the flag pf Admiral Count Von Spee, the Gneisenau and' he Leipzig wre. sunk- The Dresden and Niirnberg made off during the action, and are being pursued. Two colliers were also captured. " The '. Vice-Admiral reports that the British casualties are. very few in number, "Some survivors have been rescued from the Gneisenau and the Leipzig." The official statement makes reference to survivors rescued from the Gneisenau' and the Leipzig, but no mention is made of any of the crew of the Scharnhorst, flagship of the German admiral, being saved, and it is presumed that Count Von Spee, his .-officers and men went down; fighting. '. . The British casualties were light, but beyond the fact that the British squadron was commanded by Vice-Admiral Sturdee, no infor mation is vouchsafed regarding the ships engaged, and newspapers are enjoined not it speculate, as "other combinations may b'e effected"- ' ' y . . . .. ' '" ' 1 ';- '..'...- Tlie greatest enthusiasm prevailed in London over the victory, and the general impression is that it will be complete as it is not thought the Admiralty will be likely to send ships that could not overtake the Dresden and Nurnberg, which are slow and at a disad vantage, because of their small coal capacity. , ENGLAND WAS DETERMINED Sent the Best Officer She Had to Com mand Squadron in Atlantic. The British , squadron left England without the knowledge of the general public and; until his name was men tioned it was .'believed that Vice Ad miral Sturdee was serving In home waters." The fact that he was taken from the post of chief of the war staff is indicative' of the determination of the British government to clear the. Pacific and South Atlantic of German warships. It is believed therefore that the British commander is at the head of a formidable squadron. ' In addition to the Dreden and pum buerg, only one German warships the Karlsruhe now is" unaccounted for In those waters, although there may be one or two armed merchantmen which the allies have .not rounded up. As the Scharnhorst and Gneiseneau each carried, a complement of 765 men the. Leipzig 268 fethe Nurnberg 322 and the Dresden 261, the total German loss is estimated at- not far from 2,000 men, although the actual losses to the Dresden and Nurnberg are not yet known. The j Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Liepzig, ..with.: the cruisers Nurnberg and Dresden; composed the German Pa cific' fleet which,, in the engagement with the British squadron under Rear Admiral Sir v Christopher -Cradock, off the coast of Chile on November 1 sank the British cruisers Monmouth and Good Hope, wlth the loss of about 1,500 men. Since that time British and Jap anese squadrons - have been searching for- the German., fleet, of which little has been heard. .Recent .. reports from Montevedeo, Uruguay, were; to the ef fectthat the German .fleet was believed to have rounded the. cape, and entered the South Atlantic; but - there has been no authentic information as to the whereabouts of these vessels since the battle with the; British squadron. The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were the largent , vessels - of jthe German fleet. They were . sister ships.; of 11,100 tons displacement, 450 ; feet ' on the water line and. were rated at a tiean speed of 22 1-2 knots. rEach carried-a complex ment of -765 men, and was armed with eiKht S.2 Inch guns, six- six-inch ffuns.

The Leipzig had a displacement of 3,250 tons and carried 286 men. She was 341 feet long on the water line, had a beam of 43 1-2 feet and was rated at 23 knots. Her largest guns, of which; she carried ten, were 4.1 inch. She had also ten one pounders, four machine guns and two torpedo tubes.
