Battle May be Raglng or Port Arshur
 This Morning.

 Chefoo, April 1s, II a. m.-A corre- spondent of The Associated Press at Teng Chow. forty miles northwest Of here, telegraphs as follows:
 Sounds of very heavy firing were heard at 6:3O o'clock this (Wednesday) morning. The firing evidently was be- tween here and Port Arthur. It is be- lieyed at Teng Chow that the long ex- pected sea fight among the Miaotao is- lands has taken place.
 'The Japanese battleshio Ashi, fly ing an admirals flag, was seen off Che foo yesterday going to the west, and there is no doubt that the remainder of the Japanese fleet was in the vicinity of Port Arthur. The Russian fleet also w.s seen outside Port Arthur yester- day"
 Chee Foo, April 13, noon,--The cap- tain of the steamer Lockshan, which arrived to-day from New Chwang, re- ports that he heard heavy firing be- tween 5 and o'clock this Wednesday, morning in the direction of Port Ar thur. The firing was continuous, but no ships were visible. From the direc- tion of the sound he judged that there was fighting at the entrance to Port Arthur. The Lockshan was the last foreign merchant vessel to leave New Chwang, sailing at the same time as the British gunboat Espiegle, at one o'clock yesterday afternoon.

FORGE OF FTFTF SHOT, BATON
 FITTED OR DROWNED.

posiIe Wiju-Anotner Small Affray
 Reported in Which ths Mikado's nien
 Were Worsted-General Satisfaction
 in ss. Petersburg Over the Fights.
 St. Petersburg, April 12-General Ku- ropatkin, in dispatch to the emperor bearing to-day's date, says that General Krasnalinski, on the night of April8 or dered a detachment of sharpshooters to cross the left bank of the Yalu opposite Wiju. The sharpshooters landed on the island of Samalind and surprised a pa trol of fifty Japanese scouts as the lat ter were approaching the east side of the island in three boats.
 The Russians allowed the Japanese to land and then fired on them. Nearly all the Japanese were shot, bayonetted or drowned and their boats sunk. The Russians sustained no losses. Non commissioned officers Louchline and Sou haschenov distinguished themselves in the fight.
 On the following day the Japanese lowered their flag at Wiju and their outposts, which lately have been seen fell back.
 On the night of April four Russians crossed the Yalu to Yenampo (Yongam- pho?) and made towards a Russian vil- lage where they found squadron of Japanese cavalry. They remained there twelve hours when they were betrayed by Coreans and found themselves oblig- ed to swim the river, their boat having struck on q sand bank. One soldier lost his life. The Japanese pursued the Rus sians in 8 boat but were in turn at tackled by Russian boat which had come to the rescue of the swimmers. The Japanese were all killed and their boat sunk.

RUSSIANS PLATED.
Humiliation of small Japanese De-
 tnchmenss Very Pleastmg.

I
 St. Petersburg, April 12.-General Ku- ropatkin's report to the emperor of the annihilation of Japanese detachments on the Yalu river is a matter of general satisfaction in official circles. Again, in the view of the authorities, the Rus sian soldier has proved his superiority in strategy and in the manner of attack, which left no chance for single enemy to escape.
 One feature of the message which is not pleasing to the authorities is the action of the Coreans in revealing to the Japanese the presence of the Rus Isians at Yongampho, and the belief prevails that the Coreans are not so unfriendly to the Japanese as has been announced. Incidents such as that at Yongampho indicate that the view held of the Corean attitude is a mistaken one.

 New York, April 12.-For the first time in five years the baseball teams of Yale and Columbia universities met on a localsdiamond to-day. The game was played at the Polo Grounds and resulted in victory for the New Ha- ven players by the closest margin pos sible-1 to 0. When college teams meet the fielding is always fast, while the batting is not anywhere near the mark, and in to-day's game there was no change in these welI-expected condi- tions Fer seven innings no score was made, but in the latter half of the eighth Yale earned run on q triple by Metcalf, followed by Huiskamp's double.
 The contest was pretty clear of CT TOTS, only three being made, and none of them was responsible for the win ming run. A double play in the seventh inning robbed Columbia of a good op- portunity to score, and a lack of coach ing at very important stage prevent ed Columbia from making a run in the following inning The score:

 caution to Prevent Further spread
 Hartford, April 12.-Of the many cities in this state in which spotted fever is reported Hartford leads in the number of cases and deaths up to date. Since April 5 seventeen deaths have been reported to the medical authorities here and eleven deaths have resulted. the list being increased to that number to-day in the death of Samuel T. Clyde, 40 years old, Ralph Galer, 55 years old, and the ten months old daughter of Herbert Sisson. Of all the cases that have been looked into, spots have ap- peared in but four, although there is no doubt but that the deaths were due to the advanced form of spinal fnenin- gitis. The condition here is alarming, the disease spreading into a dangerous epidemic.
 On account of the large number of cases the board of health met tonight and voted to take every precaution pos sibie to prevent the further spread of the disease.
 In nearly every case death has re- suited soon after the fever took hold, in some cases however it has run for days before the victim finally succumb- cd

TEN RUSSIAN VESSELS
LOST OR DAMAGED

St. Petersburg, April Is, $50 p. m.-
There are now only two unchanged
battleships-the Peresviet and the Sc
Vastopol-in the harbor at Port Ar
thur, but some of the damaged vessels
have been repaired, although their
exact number and condition are not

The other electives are the armored

cruiser Novik, the torpedo gunbats
Vsadnik and Gaydamak, the gunboats

and Zabiaka and the torpedo boat de-
stroyers, whose exact number is not

Altogether, ten Russian vessels have
been damaged or lost since the out
break of the war.
The disaster of Wednesday ends the
hope that the Inflated Port Arthur
squadron would be able to become an
aggressive factor in the operations be-
fore 1t is reinforced by the arrival of
the Baltic fleet. Until then the extreme
hope of the Russians will be to hold

ACCOUNT OF SKIRMISHES
UPON THE YALU RIVER.

London, April 16.-The Times CORE
spondent at sea, off the coast of Ko-
rea, under yesterdays date, gives the
following story of recent skirmishes on
the Yalu river:
ION April 8. a Japanese cruiser sent
to reconnoiter the mouth of the Yalu,
found the enemy holding both banks
of the river. Accommodating by steam
launch was abandoned, and last Sun
day Lieut.. Kyaguchi, with five men
disguised as Korean fishermen in a ma
tive junk, surprised a Russian post at
a village on the left bank. The Rus
slams retired without resistance.
"A quarter of an hour later two
squadrons of Japanese cavalry from
Cheng Ju arrived and destroyed the
Russian post. Lieut.. Kyaguchi then
determined to reconnoiter the right
bank of the. river toward
Antung, and met in midstream
junk engaged in a similar reconnais-
sance for the Russians. The junk drew
off and stranded on a sand bank. One
of the Russians was killed and the
Japanese continued to fire, when
the Russians threw away their rifles
and were obliged to wade neck deep
in order to reach the mainland.
Meantime, a second Russian junk,
with seventeen men, landed on the
sand bank and tried to rescue the
stranded boat, but they were forced
to abandon the effort and with diff
Guilty escaped.

nampo, landing a quantity of bridging
material and other necessaries for a
determined advance through the diff

Tillman Going Home.
Senator Tillman expects to leave here
tomorrow night to return to his home
in Edgefield. After two days of en-
deavor in trying to get back into work.
ing order at the Capitol the senator
has concluded that he has not suffi-
GENTLY recovered from his recent ILL
ness to remain here until the close
of the present session of Congress.
The change in climate has not been
beneficial to him, and it is upon the
advice of his physician that he re-
turns to the warm and invigorating
surroundings at Edgefeld.
If the senator follows the advice of
his family and intimate friends ne
will refrain from active participation
in the coming campaign unless there
is a great improvement in his physi-
cal condition. He is in greater need
of absolute rest and relaxation from
official cares than he imagines. He
is anxious to attend both the state
and national conventions. A few
weeks additional rest at home will
probably enable him to carry out his
wishes in that direction.
