st. Petersburg, June 80, 4:4O p. M
An official dispatch received from
Lieut. Gen. Stoessel. the commander
of the Russian military forces at Port
Arthur. says that the squadron of Rear
Admiral Without re-entered that port
after repusing five torpedo boat at
tacks. 1t contains no further details,
so far as can be ascertained. 1t does
not mention any damage to the Rus
sian ships.
AS no injury to the vessels of the
Russian squadron was mentioned, the
belief of the authorities is greatly
strengthened that Admiral Togo's re-
port was very much exaggerated. While
offering no specific ground for this
opinion, the admiralty believes that a
fight occurred on Saturday Gen
StoessePs dispatch is addressed to
Lieut.. Gen. Zilinsky, Gen. Kuropat-
Nin's chief of staff, and is dated June

Tien pass and another at Fen Shut

Rain is falling in torrents, which is
greatly impeding the movements of
the troops.

pOrations VIII Hand Out $4,000.
Valdosta, Ga, June 30.-The directors
of the Strickland Cotton Mill met
yesterday afternoon and declared a
dividend of per cent, semi annual,
to be paid July 1. Considering the high
price of cotton during the last six OF
eight months and the fact that the
mill has never lost any time, the
profits of the years business are high
ly satisfactory.
The banks and other corporations will
add $4,000 in dividends to the circu-
lating medium tomorrow. OF this
amount the three banks will pay about
$l2, 600, and the balance will come from
other corporations here, which are do
ing a prosperous business. The cante-
loupe melon and fruit business has
brought many dollars to this section
and the farmers. especially, are more
hopeful than they have ever been be-
fore.

and all other products was never bet
ter at this season OF the year. The
farmers owe less than they have owed
in years, and they are generally On a
better humor than they have been seen
in a long time.
