PROVIDENCE'S CLAIM TO YERKES

The National baseball commission holds
that the Providence club OF the Eastern
league shall refund $50. advanced TO Stan
ley Yerkes by the st. Louis National club.
and that the Chicago National league
club had prior rights TO George Moriarty
under an option from the Little Rock
club
Stanley Yerkes came 10 the Providence
club during the latter part Of last season.
after accepting an advance from the st.
Louis National club. He jumped from
here to the outlaw league" on the coast
during the past winter. The Providence
club had a reserve right TO Yerkes' SER
vices this year. but under the agreement
by which the outlaw league" entered to
the national agreement fold. Yarkes re-
mained on the Pacific coast. George r.
Cressy, the former president OF the Prov
idence club said last night that Yer<es
came here after he had relinquished the
management and the team was under the
direction OF A. VI. Howe. Jr., and that
he had very little knowledge OF the cir
cumstances. The present owners OF the
Providence club feel that as the whole
affair occurred before they assumed the
management they are not held responsi-
BILE for the refunding of the money and
think that the St Louis club should look
TO the Pacific Coast league. where there
is a chance for the club which has
Yerkes' services to deduct what he owes
from his salary.

ChefOo, Aug 24.-According to al.

by a junk the Japanese were hotly
pressing the Russian center along the
railway and the Russian right in the
vicinity of Golden HILL These advices
are brought by Chinese who departed
from Taipingtse, which is one mile
from the city, near Golden hill, be-
tween the city and the forts Of the
Russian right wing. The Chinese de-
clare that the Japanese occupied Tai
pangtse and penetrated along the rail-
way to General StOessel's residence on
Aug. 21.

Japanese expert attached to the local
consulate received the information

is accepted, however, as a confirms4-

Toxic, Aug. 24.--The, Japanese pro

first engagement occurred Saturday,
Aug. 20, and the Japanese protected
cruiser Chitose finished the destruc-
ton Of the Russian ship on Sunday.
The details of the engagement
reached the navy department here dur
ing the day. At dawn of Saturday the
Chitose arrived at a point twenty
miles northwest Of Rebunshiri island
and proceeded to search the Soya Tia

heavy and the Novik was not discoy-

the Chitose and the Tsushima met

shima had previously been searching
to the westward. After the meeting
Of the two Japanese cruisers the Chi
tose took up a line extending from
Soya point to Cape Shiretoko and the
Tsushima was dispatched toward Kor-

The Tsushima found the Novik off

the afternoon. She Immediately sig

HOPE NOT ABANDONED.
Russians Think Stoessel May Beat Off
Japanese.

Japanese.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 24.-Despite the
popular feeling that Port Arthur is
doomed the success with which Lieu
tenant General Stoessel has been beat
ing off the Japanese assaults and the
heavy loss suffered by the besiegers
offer considerable encouragement to
the war Office.
There is a limit beyond which
troops cannot go, no matter how gal
lant,' said an officer of the general
staff. "A fifth of the army before Port
Arthur is a small estimate of the en-
emy's losses up to date. If the storm
ing operation, which we understand is
now proceeding, fails to give them a
foothold i'll the ring of inner defenses
the Japanese will be compelled by
sheer exhaustion to stop and recu-
perate, while awaiting additional re-
Inducements, and |, personally, to-
gether with some Of my colleagues.
believe they will abandon the idea of
"a general assault and settle down to
regular siege operations. Starving out
the garrison is less brilliant, but it is
quite as effective way of reducing a
fortress. The Japanese purpose in
pushing matters has doubtless been to
release section of the southern army
and enable it to cooperate with the
armies in Manchuria."

WORK OF
DYNAMITERS
Scores of Lives Endangered By
Attempt to Destroy a Big
Reservoir.
Had the FlOodgates Given Away
Town of St. Mary's Would
Be Inundated.

st. Marys, O., Aug. 24.-Shortly after
midnight the gates at the head of st.
Marys reservoir were blown up by
dynamite. The report OF. the explo-
sion was heard for miles. The build
1ngs here were shaken and some win
doWs were broken. Intense excitement
prevails, but every precaution has been
taken to prevent food There are
many who consider the reservoir
menace to surrounding farms.
The attempt was made at / o'clock
and if it had blown out the entire bulk
head and opened the foodgates hun
dreds of lives would have been lost,
as the waters of Lake Mercer would
have run out. This bulkhead is the
one through which the Miami and
Erie canal is fed A large amount of
dynamite was used. The bank was
broken so as to give way and the citi-
zens were aroused and the place was
watched. Bloodhounds are with those
in search Of the dynamiters, but they
have no clue on which to go.
This reservoir is the largest artificial
body of water in the world and this
city is lower than the water, so that
intense excitement exists here.

Retreated to the Inner Anchoraae

Retreated to the Inner Anchorage
at Korsakovsk. She was then envel.
oped in white smoke and evidently on
fire. The Tsushima had received pro.
jectiles through bunkers Numbers
and s. She was leaking badly and
listing and was forced to withdraw out
of the range of the Novik's guns for
temporary repairs These were effect
ed that evening.
The Chitose joined the Tsushima
after sundown of Saturday. The Tsu-
shima was sent to guard the strait and
the Chitose watched Korsakovsk har-
Dor.
At dawn of Sunday the Chitose ad-
vanced to the Korsakovsk anchorage
and discovered that the Novik had
been beached close to the town and
that the crew of the Russian vessel
appeared to be disembarking. The
Chitose shelled the Novik from 6:25
until TIA. The hull of the Novik was
concealed behind clouds of black
smoke and thus made sighting by the
Japanese gunners most difficult
After shelling her the Chitose
steamed to within $500 yards to OBJ
serve the Novik. She saw that the
Russian cruiser had been partially
sunk. She had a bad list to the star
board and her side lights and lower
deck were under water Her hull was
seriously damaged.
The Chitose satisfied herself, that
the Novik had been destroyed and
steamed away.
The Tsushima has been repaired
and is again in fighting trim The Jap
anese sustained no casualties in this
engagement.

"A Russian torpedo boat destroyer,

whose lights were burning brightly
and who had the British flag flying.
The destroyer fired shells, killing and
