BOMBARDMENT OF PAPEITI.

EYE-WITNESS'S NARRATIVE: A MASS OF RUINS.

SYDNEY, October 15th. An eye-witness of the bombardment of Papuit, Tahiti, states that the attack left the island a mass of ruins. At 8 o'clock

the morning of September 22nd two big German warships arrived off Papeiti and an hour or so later opened fire on the town The French authorities des troyed 2,000 tons of coal. About 33 shells were fred in half-an-hour. Then there was a spell, the Germans apparently. waiting for the white flag. But there was no white flag. The commander of the Zee ordered a fight to a finish. The guns at the fort could not reach beyond the reefs. Still, there was to be no surren der. An attempt was made to block the ontraste, and in this endeavour the Zelee was sunk by German gunfire. The vessel sank in deep water. Shells hit the Walkere, a Gerinan cargo boat, which was captured as a prize. The shells also set a portion of the town on fire. The wharfs, Custom House, public markets, Chinese co-operative stores, Paris Hotel, and another hotel alongside, were soon in rains. Other parts of the town were deratstated and no solid block of build ings remained standing. The fire raged fiercely for several days. After firing about 10 shells, the Gucisenau and Scharborst left. A Chinese and a Kanaka were killed..

RUSSIAN TURNING MOVEMENT.

IMPORTANT PHASE OF THE OPERATIONS,

(BY BUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.)

LONDON, November 13th: Professor Fares, an English correspond eat with the Russian headquarters, says the Garmans in East Prussia are being slowly driven back by a double turning movent. The Russians have secured the northern frontier of Poland and firmly hold Plock, Lodz, Petrikau, Kielce, Sandemir and Jarslav and other passages of the river San.

The theatre of the present operations is of crucial importance, as Austria and Gericany here join hands, and serious reveres would compel them to retreat on diverging lines, or expose one or other of their capitals.

On the next day the ship, with all the German officers on board, sailed to Chefoo, passed the British naval station at Weihaiwel, and then came back again, once more passing the naval way, and no passengers, beyond a few Chinese coolies, and this hardly justified taking the ship out. The next day the ship set out again: With regard to the first fact, the passing of the ship past Weihaiwei, it might have been very important to the German Government, just after the outbreak of war, to know what was happening at Weihaiwei and what ships were lying there.

The Chief Justice-Is it alleged whether she was or was not carrying wireless?

The Attorney General replied that nothing had developed on that point, and went on to say that he suggested that one very likely explanation of the voyage was that the Hanametal was reconnoitring for scouting purposes; and inferences of not in their own Courts but in other coun- that kind had been drawn in Prize cases, tries. On August 7th, the ship again left, again with no cargo and no pasengers. Mr. Potter contended that the point of scouting raised by the Hon. Attorney General should have been put to the Master. He should have been asked what he was going on the journey for. It was for the learned Attorney-General to establish his suggestion.

The Chief Justice also expressed the opinion that the point should have been put to the witness. If the Attorney- General was going to make that point they would have to have the Master back,

The Attorney General promised to again question the Master on the paint, and went on to refer to the ship's prolonged stay at Shanghai.. Such a stay, which according to the Master was occupied in doing nothing," might have been very useful, because the Master would be able to obtain a lot of information which he would not be able to secure elsewhere.

The Chief Justice-You should also have put that point to the witness.

The Attorney-General remarked that no doubt his Lordship would put that tion to him when he was recalled.
