The North German Llovd Liner Kron Prinz Wel helm has been sunk at sea by the Bri tish cruiser Lancaster, now off th Ambrose channel lightship, according to Information brought ashore toda) by Pilot Nichols of the pilot boat Pioneer, who boarded the Lancaster yesterday. The pilot says the Lancas ter's officers told him they had sunk the Kron Prinz. Where and when the Kron Prinz Wllhelm was sunk was not stated. The Kron Prinz Welhelm sailed from New York August 3, heavily laden with coal. It was believed she put out to supply German cruisers Two weeks later officers of the Brit ish ciuiser Bristol said at Halifax that they has surprised the German cruiser Karlsruhe at sea while she was taking coal from the Kron Prinz and that both German vessels fled. The Kronz Prinz has not been re ported as arriving at any port. The story of her being sunk was brought to quarantine by Pilot Mc Carthy, aboard the Norweigian freight steamer Hermod, which reached this port today from Iceland.

Fearing that they might believe him too in quistive, Nichols did not ask when or where. McCarthy reported that the Brit ish cruisers Suffolk and Essex were with the Lancaster about one mile off the Ambrose channel, and that all three warships apparently were watch ing very closely every outbound ves sel.
