Report of His Retreat -KurokiIs
Scouts ActiUe-Sea Fighting.

Conflicting reports regarding General
Oku's army were received at Liao-Yang. One
dispatch, which official reports confirmed, said
that the japanese were cautiously advancing.
Another message told of retreat southwark.
The Russian Admiralty is reported to have
admitted the loss of battleship and two
cruisers off Port Arthur Admiral Alexieff
sent report of the action on June %, but
failed to give the result of the encounter. A
second engagement is believed at Che-Foo to
have taken place on Saturday.
General KurOkis troops seem to be press
ing their way slowly westward, the Cossacks
harassing the advance guards. There were
rumors in St Petersburg of a battle and
Russian defeat at Tasb;- -Chiao, but no con-
frmatory dispatches were received from the
East.

deyward After the Lynchers.

Special TO The Greenville News.
Columbia, July 1.-Gov. Hey
ward is fully determined to get
at the bottom of the Scranton
lynching affair and to see that the
law Is fully vindicated. He has
sent the following telegram to
Sheriff Graham at Kingstree:
"Advise me fully concerning
lyncfing of Cairo Williams. Have
communicated with Solicitor Will
son and wish you to do the same.
l wish nothing left undone to have
the guilty parties arrested. If
you or your deputies know any of
them swear out warrants and ar.
rest them. Will assist you in any
way. Letter follows.
(Signed) go. @. Hayward"
Gov. Hayward feels that So
licitor Wilson and the sheriff
ought to be able to do something
and has promised them every
possible cooperation. He expects
to leave no stone unturned to
punish those implicated in this or
any other lynching that occurs
while he is governor, and from all
the facts he has, there seems to
have been an inter disregard of
the law in the exercise of brute
force against this poor negro.

Seven Hundred Lost With
Emigrant Ship.
The Liner "Negro" Foundered
on North Sea Rocks She
Was Bound For New
York.

London, July g. Over 700
Danish and Norwegian emigrants
bound for New York are believed
to have been drowned in the
North Atlantic on June 2S. Out
of nearly 500 souls on board the
Danish steamer Norge, which left
Copenhagen, June %, only 81
are known to be alive and for the
rest no hope is held out.
When last seen the Norge was
sinking where she struck on the
islet of Rockall, whose isolated
peak raises of itself from dead
ly Atlantic reef some 290 miles
off the west coast Of Scotland.
Early on the morning eff last
Tuesday, the Norge, who was out
of her course in heavy weather,
ran into the Rockall reef, which
in the distance looks like a ship
under sail. The Norge was quick
ly backed off but the heavy seas
poured in through rent in her
bows.
The emigran's who were then
awaiting breakfast below, ran on
deck. The hatchways were scar
cely built for these hundreds of
souls and became clogged.
The Norge quickly began to go
down by the head. Eight boats
were lowered and into these the
women and children were hurri-
edly put. Six of these boats
smashed against the side of the
Norge and their helpless inmates
were caught up by the heavy
seas.
Two boat loads got safely away
from the side of the sinking ship
and many of tho emigrants who
were left on board, seizing life
belts, threw themselves into the
sea and were drowned.
Capt. Gundel, SO say the survi-
vors, stood on the bridge of the
doomed vessel until he could be of
no more service.
The boats kepl together some
hours. Practically all of the oc-
cupants were passengers and not
used to handling such craft. The
boat occupied by the Survivors
landed at Grimsby and was life

A Record of Shame.
Fort Mill Times.

Another murderer, who, in the
opinion of majority of the read
ing people of this section, should
have been stretched on the gal
lows has been freed by South
Carolina jury. This was Lee
Green, u white man who was on
trial during the paat week at
Aiken for the killing of Abram
Surasky, Jew peddler, on or
about the 10th of last July.
Green's was a horrible crime, he
having attacked Surasky with a
shotgun and after shooting him
down, took m axe and beat the
peddler's head almost into Jelly.
The people of South Carolina are
establishing a record for releasing
criminals that is shame to a civ
ilized country and so long as it is
continued lawlessness and crime
are destined to run rampant.

K. b. Wallace Killed By
William Jacobs.
Bloody Tragedy Near Latta in
Marion County Woman
Figures in TIE Case.
Special to The State.

Latta, July 2.-One of the
most terrible tragedies that ever
occurred in these parts was enac>
ted in the old Vidalia school
house, now occupied by the ia
cobs family, at half past 10 o.
clock last night when Will Jacobs
shot and instantly killed Mr.. r. B
Wallace,
1t ie said that the dispute arose
aboutiMr Wallace's sister, Miss
Bell Wallace, who had taken her
abode in the Jacobs home. She,
it is claimed, was made to leave,
at any rate did leave, her fathers
home some days previous. On
her exit from her paternal home
she was Immediately lodged in the
house of Mr.. Jacobs as stated
above.
Her brother, Mr.. r. B. Wal
lace, having heard of her where
abouts, left last night rom Dillon
In company with Messrs. D. w.
Biggs and r. M. Jackson. They
arrived at the house of JAG ob bs
something after 10 o'clock, all in
rather bouyant, good spirits. With
out further ceremony Wallace
knocked nj the door while his
companions remained in the bug
gY.
At the time of Jacobs appear
ance at the door they seemed to
be in very friendly mood and
both gave their accustomed greet
ing with a hearty handshake.
Wallace did Lot enter the house
but was led by Jacobs to cor
ner to tho rear end of the building
They wore in conference some
live OF ten minutes when they re-
turned to the door steps, where
Wallace sent out volley of oaths
against his sister, threatening to
give her thrashing. He then
began to penetrate, the dark re-
cesses of the little cabin and was
followed by Jacobs, who up to
this time was unaware of the pis-
tol he held in his hand.
When both were within, another
showerof oaths and threats escaped
his lips. At this instant he was
ordered from the house, but in
stead of taking heed he, 1t is SAID
rather aimed his pistol at Jacobs.
But quick as lightning the latter
seized his gun from behind the
door and emptied it's contents IN
Wallace's head. His compan-
ions heard the noise and hastened
to learn the cause when a puddle
of blood and the brains of the
deceased were evidence of the
deed that had been committed.
Jacobs escaped through the rear
door, No clue to his whereabouts
as yet has been ascertaincd, but
it is thought that he is lying con-
cealed until after the inquest of
the jury when be will deliver
himself up IN person.
Mr.. Jacobs is a farmer living
on the place of DR.. F. M. Mon
roe and up to this time has con-
Quoted himself very we'll. Those
who know him say he is quiet and
peaceful, but has plenty of "grit'
when thoroughly aroused.
Mr.. Wallace was q prin ter in
the employ of the Dillon Herald
and was given to drinking occa-
sionally.
