A Russian officer who was wounded in
the battle al Vafangow (Telissu) told an
Associated Press correspondent that the
losses on both sides were severe. He
placed the Russian casualties at
at least 1000. He says no soldiers in the
world could withstand the Japanese as
they have been fighting lately. Their ar
tillery fire, he claims. is marvelously eff
fective. The Russians fought stubbornly,
but they We're unable to withstand the
enemy's dashing persistency. The Jap
anese loss is said to have been only one
tenth that of the Russian forces
The japanese artillery included heavy
siege guns using lyddite and sweeping
the whole battlefield. The Japanese suf-
fered tremendous losses in turning the
Russian right One battalion of the Goth
regiment was annihilated.
The hospital station at Vafangow was
repeatedly struck by the enemy's shells;
which mutilated the Russian wounded
Several hundred wounded Russians
have been sent north owing to a lack
of hospitals and surgeons. All the avail
able transportation has to be used for
supplies at the expense of the sick and
wounded. The Japanese buried most of
the Russian dead after the battle
II Is estimated on information obtain
able that the Japanese force moving
northward is 10000 strong, with 80, 900
men in the aggregate engaged in the op-
erations at Port Arthur.

SAM MARKS and NOSE HAM.
What is Said in Darlington About
the Removal of the Two Mur-
derers to the Peniten-
tiary.

Darlington, Oct. 5.-As announced
in a special to The News and Courier
from Columbia, published this morn
ing, Nose Ham, who was sentenced
for life last Saturday afternoon, was
carried to the penitentiary yesterday
by the sheriff. Sam Marks was also
taken along with Ham, although be
was sentenced to be hung on Novem-
Der II, and would be just as safe here
as in the penitentiary.
Why Marks was carried off is rot
known in Darlington, unless an ap-
peal is to be made for new trial OF
a Communication of his sentence, and if
such is the case it is kept quiet. No
movement has so far been made pub
licly for a new trial or communication,
but it is fact that the verdict did
not meet with the approval of every
body, although that is nothing IN
usual in such cases
The jury that tried Marks and Ham
was composed of men of honor and in
tcgrity, and it is not likely that the
Governor will interfere with the YER
dict. Certainly there was no nndue
dispatch of the negro, Sam Marks, to
the gallows, wich the brutal manner
in which he ended the life Of Hill
Langston is considered. There are no

done and the prisoner was carried to
Columbia under the escort Of the ker-
shaw Guards for safe keeping in the

last week when he was brought to
Camden to stand trial. The case was
called this afternoon about O'Clock,
and at a little before : o'clock the
jury returned a verdict of guilty, and
Judge Purdy sentenced him to be
hanged on November 4th next.
All the morning session was consum-
ed in preliminary arguments in the
case of the State VS.. J. E. Gillis for
the murder of McRae Whitaker. An
