TURKISH CRUISER
SINKS GREEK VESSELS.
Vienna. March 8.?The Turkish
cruiser Hamidloh yesterday sunk
three Greek transports loaded with
Servian troopsbmhe way to Scutari.
according to a Constantinople
dispatch to the Neue Frele Prene.
The attack on the transports or,
sazred. it was said, near-.the. penlnsula
of Haglon Oroe, in the Aegean
sea. From this It would appear that
the transports were proceeding not
to 8eutarl but to GalHpoll where it
was proposed some time ago by tbe
Balkan allies to make a flank attack
on the Turkish troops defending the
Dardanelles.
The convoy hf Greek transports
was a large one, consisting of 14 Tease'r,
which carried 84 guns. They
were encountered by the Hamfdleh
shortly after they had left the poast
With her battery of powerful 4.7
Inch guns she was able to create
havoc among the practically unprotected
transports loaded with soldiers.
according to the report received
