JAPANESE GUNBoATS
DROVE RUSSIANS BACK

Toxic, Aug. Is, p. ma report
has been received here from Admiral
Togo saying that the gunboats Anna
and Amigi, which were on guard duty
in the neighborhood of Shampoing Tao
on Aug. II, discovered the Russian
gunboat Gillak and another gunboat
near Shenshen, engaged in shelling the
Japanese land forces. The Japanese
vessels attacked the enemy and a
shell from the Amigi hit the Giliak.
The latter retreated hastily to Port
Arthur.
1t probably was the first torpedo boat
destroyer fiotilla under the command
of Capt. Mathueoka that sank the
Russian cruiser Pallada on the night
of Aug. 10. Capt Mathueoka reports
that he approached a cruiser of the
Pallada type and at a distance of
400 yards fired a torpedo, which he saw
hit the cruiser and explode.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Because they

two Harvard students, William Pastor

trouble to-day at Twenty-eighth street

the crowd, and at full speed the car
went forward. In front of il was a

David Mole, supposed the car would
stop and made no effort to get off the

GUESTS AT ESOPUS.
Campaign Plans for Judge Parker
Discussed.

Esopus. N. Y, Aug. 1s.-Judge

Judge Parker to-day sent his run
ming mate, Henry G. Davis a tele-
gram of congI'atulation on his very
excellent speech" at the notification
ceremonies.
On account of the meeting of the
American Bar Association at st. Louis,
on Sept. &c, Judge Parker will prob
ably go to the exposition at that time
and not return to attend the New York
Day ceremonies, which will be held on
Oct H. & I'm
1t is not the plan now for Judge
Parker to make any speeches on his
way to st. Louis. Mrs. Parker will
probably remain at the exposition for
two weeks as the guest of Mrs. Daniel
Manning. 1t is likely that the Judge
will make his detour on his return in
order to address political meetings in
indianapolis, Chicago and one or two
other points The suggestion has been
made that after that Judge Parker go
on an extended stumping tour to con-
tue until the day before election, but
no decision has been reached in re-
gard to this. His concluding speech,
If the trip is made, will probably be
delivered in New York city.
The suggestion of having the candi-
date make a vigorous personal cam
paign meets the approval of Senator
Bailey of Texas, Edward M. Shepard
of Brooklyn, Senator Martin of Vir-
ginia, Harry r. Halves of st. Louis,
and other political advisers of Judge
Parker, including nearly every mem
ber of the National Committee. The
question will be taken up by the Ma
tional Committee at an early meet

of Surrender.

Arthur Aug. IA and Is. and was re-
sumed Aug. II. The Japanese, it is re-
ported, sacrificed 10000 more men, but
gained important advantages in the
matter of position.
The above news was brought here on
junks, one of which having on board
three Russians concealed in the bag
gage of Chinese TO escape from the
Japanese, left Port Arthur last night
and was blown rapidly to Che Foo by
a gale.
The main force of the attack was di-
rected against the left wing and re-
suited in the capture of Pigeon bay
positions and some of the forts at Liao
Tieshan. At Palun Chang the Jap
anese hastily mounted guns which did
excellent service in aiding the storm
ing of the right wing, where the Jap
anese are said to have captured two
forts of minor value. mounting eight
4-inch guns, two siege guns and six
quick-firing guns.
The position that the Japanese oc-
cupy on Liao Tieshan peninsula is
not clear, but numerous Chinese
sources aver that the Japanese have
been seen in force in that section. APP
parently cruising attack. originating
in Louisa Bay, swept through the Pig
con bay positions into the peninsula,
in the doing of which a majority of
the lives of the expedition were sacri-
feed. On the night of Aug. Is, the bat
tie lulled somewhat when the Japa-
nese sent the terms of surrender to
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel
The terms provided that the garrison
should march out with the honors of
war and join Gen. Kuropatkin; that
all civilians be brought to a place
designated by the Japanese admiral;
that the Russian warships in the har-
Dor, numbering seven, namely, the bat
tleships Retvizan, Sevastopo, Pobieda,
Peresviet, Poltava the armored cruis-
er Bayan and the procted cruiser Pal
lada, and twelve or more torpedo
boat destroyers and four gunboats to
be surrendered to the Japanese.
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel is alleged to
have received the terms with a burst
of wonderful profanity, his habitual
taciturnity deserting him. He strobe
the floor until he became calmer and
then remarked that if the Japanese
proposition was joke it was in bad
taste.

Statesboro, Ga, Aug. 1S.-The States
boro Volunteer Guards had a call
meeting tonight to discuss the riot
situation. Nearly all the members were
present. All visitors were excluded, ex-
cept the Morning News representative,
and a guard was then placed at the
door,
Many requests for discharges had
been drawn and handed into Capt.
Cone and the commissioned officers had
framed their designations, but after
considerable discussion, a resolution
was offered and passed unanimously
that unless the investigation ordered
by the Governor exonerates the Guards
completely from the responsibility of
losing the prisoners, the company will
ask to be disbanded within ten days
after such investigation closes.
But it was the uniform sentiment
that no action be taken, and no resig-
nations be handed in until after this
matter is closed up, for the boys do
not wish to appear to be retreating
WlllAG uilCGE IRE.
Capt. Cone was loudly applauded
when he said he could not retract his
statement as given in to-days Morn
ing News, for it only contained actual
facts. One man asked to know
whether he did his duty when placed
on guard at the Court House by Capt.
Hitch without a gun by remaining at
his post and fighting with his fists un-
til he was knocked down and dragged
out by the mob.
Sergt. r. ]. Proctor said he was in
command of the seventy men left at
the Jail temporarily on Tuesday, while
the riot was in progress, and made
preparations to rush the men to the
rescue, but ranking officer from Sa-
vannah arrived and stopped the move
ment.
Private Morgan Waters, who had his
ribs mashed in while on guard at the
Court House, told how he reported to
Col. Grayson and Maj. Coney, who
called on him while in bed at the
Jaeckel Hotel, that he had no orders to
shoot or defend himself and no ammu-
milton to shoot with, when questioned
by these officers as to why he did not
defend himself.
The men all said they have the high
est respect for their superior officers,
but feel that they We're placed in an
awkward position from a military
standpoint, but that they did their full
duty under the circumstances.

Statesboro. Ga, Aug. 1S-The reports

that a negro, supposed to be Handy

no trace of any such crime.
The two negroes, reported from Reg

that neighborhood on Tuesday night.
1t is believed by good citizens who

RUSSIA WILL AGREE

st. Petersburg Aug. 1S.-It becomes
more and more probable that Russia
will meet the views of the United
States and Great Britain regarding
foodstuffs as contraband Of war by
agreeing that foodstuffs bound TO a
belligerent's unblockaded ports and
consigned to private firms or individ-
uals when the ships papers leave no
room for suspicion, be not regarded as
contraband. The subject is now under
consideration.

tion Of the -four on board the Arabia
