SOUTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON.
The Probabilities as to Filling the
Vacancy Of COmmandtng OMcer.

Vacancy Of Commanding Omcer.
1t is expected that the question as TO who
shall command the South Atlantic squadron
viii be settled In a short time. At present
the squadron consists Of only two vessels,
the flagship Newark, now at Cape Town,
Africa, and the antiquated wooden man-of-
war fantic, which has to confine her cruises
to the Rio dc La Plata I'm Uruguay tor the
reason that she cannot be trusted ON the
open sea. Arrangements are being made TO
Increase the squadron with one or two of
the modern vessels now nearing completion
at the New York and Norfolk navy yards
ORDERS have been issued for the Newark
to proceed to Rio de Janeiro without un-
ecessary delay, and that vessel will un-
doubtedly continue as the flagship of the
station. The Office OF commander of the
station has been vacant since the detach-
ment OF Acting Admiral kirkland, now in
command Of the European staten. Ac-
cording to the best obtainable information,
either Commodores Selfridge, Norton or
Phythian will be assigned to the command
Of the South Atlantic station, with the
chances about in the order named. Com
modore Selfrldge is now in Washington as
president of the board of inspection and
survey. 1t is said he does not desire the
detail and will endeavor to avoid getting IL
II possible.

Mr.. Cheatham arrived in Washington to-

THE RECENT NAVAL BATTLE.
Further Details Of the Fight From
Chinese Sources.

LONDON, September 2o.-Dispatches re-
ceived here today from Shanghai says that
the total number Of the Chinese feet en-.
gagged in the battle fought OF the mouth Of
the falu river was twelve warships and
four torpedo boats The japanese feet, Il is
added, was composed of seventeen ships
some Of which were small war vessels
The Chinese claim to have sunk the
japanese warships Abushma and Yossina,
and japanese transport, which had been
converted into a cruiser and named the
Saiko.
A private report received here from
Shanghai declares that these vessels were
not sunk as the Chinese claim, but that
they receded from the action IN q disabled
condition.
1t is reported that the Chinese transport
Toonan was sunk after she had landed her
troops; but this is thought to be probably
incorrect
The report that Admiral Ting and Col.
Won Hannekin were severely wounded
seems TO be incorrect. for they have both
returned TO duty.
The officials Of the Japan legation here
have received a private cable message from
iokohoma, dated today. saying that on Sep
tember 10 twelve Chinese warships encoun-
that after severe fighting the Chinese lost
four vessels and the japanese none.
Latest advices from Shanghai seem to es-
tablish the fact that It was the Chih Yuen
that was sunk by the japanese and not the
Chen Iuen, as some of the earlier reports
had it.
dispatch to the Times from Berlin says
that the statement that the viceroy Ii
Hung Chang had committed suicide in con-
sequence OF the reverses that had been met
with ty the Chinese arms and his degrada-
ton In consequence is denied here. As a
matter of fact he communicated yesterday
With the Chinese legation in this city
The Times publishes a dispatch from
81 engtai stating that the so-called torpedo
cruiser Tsi iuen, which was attached to
the Chinese northern squadron, was one OF
the vessels attacked by the Japanese fleet
on the mouth OF the halu river. but that
she was. Tor some reason not stated In the
dlsl's tch, sent out of the action. Capt
forg, who was in command of the Isl
luen, witns ssed the hight from a distance
he says that lie saw four OF the japanese
vessels sunk by the lire from the Chinese
warships. The dispatch shows that IL Ad-
mirai Ting and Col Won Hannekin were
stated In an e. lier dispatch, their injuries
must have been slight, Tor IL is now said
that they have both resumed their duties ON
board the Chinese fleet
III is added that the japanese occupied

More serious sickness is produced BY
allowing the bowels to remain in a tor
pid or partially constipated condition
than from any other cause. In many
instances diseases are produced from
which people never wholly recover.
Dyspepsia, piles and nervous disorders
are three of the most common and most
serious. They are caused by neglect
ing the bowels, and can be prevented
by an occasional dose of st. Patrick
pills, which always produce a pleasant
cathartic effect, and not only physic,
but cleanse the whole system and regu-
late the liver and bowels. % cents per
