Russian View of Naval Battle.

st. Petersburg. June 26.-Up to to-
three Russian ships at Port Arthur has
not been published here. though the
authorities have allowed to be printed
a statement that the squadron had made
a sortie and also the news of the loss
OF the Japanese torpedo boat destroy
ers. Some of the papers have even
commented with satisfaction on the
prospect of a fight on the open sea,
where the merits of the two fleets
would be fairly tested.
An official explanation of the oppo-
sition of the Japanese report is that the
admiralty is unwilling to unnecessarily
alarm the public by the circulation OF
such statements entirely on the auth
ority of the enemy and in the absence
of definite advices from the command
er at Port Arthur. 1t is also suggested
as possible that there has been fight.
and that the Japanese have minimized
their own losses and magnified those of
, the Russians, with a view of effecting
the new loan which 1t is understood
Japan is negotiating.
On the other hand. according to a
foreign naval attache, the admiralty
to-day admitted that Rear Admiral
Without (the naval commander at Port
Arthur lost one battleship and two
crluisers, but in the absence of details
it is impossible to give out any news.
In high court and army and navy cir
cles, where the report of the Port Ar
thur affair has been freely circulated,
the Japan version is received with con-
siderable reserve.
atalr 1D ut atf to lie
guise the seriousness and the far-reach-
ing consequences which might result
from the loss of three of the Port Ar
thur warships. but they profess to be
more inclined to believe that the ves-
sells were lost in open fight rather than
as the result of torpedo attack.
Should this be the case. the Japanese
could not have escaped without ma
terial loss and the crippling of one or
two of their battleships, enough to as
suro command of the sea to the Baltic
squadron.
There is much speculation tonight
as to whether the Vladivostok squadron
might not have gone out, and perhaps
be on the eve of joining the Port Ar
thur fleet. A telegram from Vladivos-
tok. dated June 25th. which has been
received here, does not mention the
SQUADRON but it is conceivable that
such mention might be suppressed for
strategic reasons.
A general tension is evident in this
city tonight. There are many rumors
sfloat and everyone is realizing that
most important news may be expected
ut any moment. 1t is reported that a
serious land fight has taken place near
Ia Tche Kiao Kiao, in which the Rus
slams were defeated, but mo- confirma-
ton of this report is obtainable.

Young Girl Executioner.

Europa. Miss. June 27,-Stark Dun
ham, a negro wanted on a charge of
criminally assaulting the fourteen
year-old daughter of John Wilson. a
white man. near Bellfontein. two
weeks ago. and attempting to Grimm
ally assault three young ladies named
Dunn near this city, all during the
course of the same day, was hanged in
the public square yesterday by a mob
The moose was placed about the ne
gro's neck by the little Wilson girl
who positively identified him as her as
sailant The negro was then placed
on the back of black horse and at a
signal from the leader of the mob. the
Wilson girl led the horse from under
him.
Over 5000 people. white and black
witnessed the hanging. The lynching
was as orderly as a legal execution.
After being assured that the negro
was dead the mob cut down the body
and turned it over to relatives for
burial.
There was a strong sentiment for
burning. but this was overcome and
the lynching took the form of a hang
ing. Dunham stoutly maintained his
innocence to the last and denied that
he had ever seen the Wilson girl. His
last remarks were made to 200 ne
groes who were assembled about the
place OF execution. Dunham told them
to never go about a white mans house
when women were alone.
The three Dunn sisters. the eldest
of whom is less than eighteen years.
witnessed the lynching from a dis
tance.

Battle Expected Soon.

New Chwang, June 25. 10 p. m.-An
Associated Press courier who has been
out three days returned tonight and
reports that Japanese scouts were
seen ten miles southwest of Kai Chou
this morning. Information from pri-
vate Russian sources indicate that the
Russians have only a few pieces of
field artillery between Lao Yang and
Kai Chou.
Chinaman who is known to the
Associated Press correspondent as
Japanese agent, says that the Japan
ese plan to enter Kai Chou unopposed
not later than Monday. and expect a
battle near Ia Tche Kiaou. If victori-
Gus, they will place troops in New

Great Rejoicing in Toxic.

Toxic, June 26.-Tokio is in a fren-
Zy of enthusiasm over the tremendous
naval victory won by the Japanese
feet under Admiral Togo at Port Ar
thur on Thursday. fresh details OF
which are arriving hourly.
Every additional dispatch brings
confirmation of the utter rout suffered
by the Russians.
The entire fleets of both powers
were engaged, and a naval battle that
will live in history was fought in the
gathering twilight Thursday night.
The engagement resulted from
desperate attempt of the Russians to
escape from Port Arthur and effect a
junction with the Vladivostok squad
ron.
The most thrilling gallantry was dis
played. The Russians also fought with
a courage and desperation born of re-
peated defeats. but their gun practice
was bad. which accounts for the trifiing
damage which the japanese ships sus-
tanned during the engagement.
Shells from the Russian ships con-
stantly exploded in the air, or in the
water just too short of the mark or
just beyond the enemy's ships.
1t was the torpedo boats of the jap
anese fleet that inflicted the greatest
damage. A torpedo struck the Peres-
Wet midway in the engagement, and in
five minutes later. with a roar like an
exploding magazine, she sank beneath
the waves.
well placed shell struck the other
battleship, the name of which has not
yet been ascertained. just after the
boiler. and put her out of commission.
The cruiser was hit by a torpedo and
disappeared toward Port Arthur. ap-
parently in a sinking condition.
Meanwhile the smaller guns on the
Japanese ships were spreading havoc
among the torpedo boats of the en-
emy.
For more than five hours the battle
lasted. The moon rose over the scene
of the terrific struggle and showed a
blurred and reddened face among the
flame and smoke of the conflict
Slowly the Russians backed away
from the Japanese ships. describing
great loops to keep out of range, and
with difficulty making the entrance to
Port Arthur. into which they retreated
under cover of the guns of the fort
ress,
The ships of the Japanese sustained
little damage. The torpedo boat de-
stroyer Shirakumo was hit by a shell
which fell in the cabin and three men
were killed and three more injured
These were the only casualties on
board the Japanese fleet.
