TORPEDO ! BOAT DESTROYED| By 8 German Submarine Swedish Cruiser Sinks a German Submarine. London, Aug. 15.--~--The British torpedo boat destroyer Lassoo sank Sunday off the Dutch coast, having struck a mine or been torpedoed, ac- cording to an official statement. Six of the crew of the destroyer are missing. Two men on board were injured, The British press bureau contro- verts the German official statement with regard to the locality where the Lassoo was sunk, saying that the de- stroyer was sent to the bottom "a few miles off the Dutch coast, and not in the channel, as the German admiralty pretends." The sinking of a German subma- rine by a Swedish cruiser between Stockholm and Skargaard is rumored in Copenhagen, according to the newspaper Dagens Nyheder, of that city, quoted in an Exchange Tele- graph dispatch. The Swedish warship's reported action was taken, the dispatch adds, In" accordance with the Swedish gov- ernment's decision calling upon/§ Swedish ng. yoos to fire upon for.
