plain.
| St. Petersburg, Aug. 15.-Novoe Vre
mya's naval expert, reviewing the in
cidents OF the SEA fight of August 10th
says: admiral Togo's first division
sailed out from Elliott Islands or Tall
en- Wan and arrested Admiral Wit
hoft's progress, utilizing the enormous
superiority of the Japanese in torpedo
boats to attack the Russian vanguard
and sowing floating mines in its course,
stratagem hitherto unknown, which
paralyzed Withoft's movements, as it
was almost impossible to detect the
floating mines without stationing a
lookout in the bows, which exposed
the men to almost certain death. This
presumably caused Without and his
staff to leave the coming towers and
stand on the bridge, whence they
could better detect the threatening OBJ
stacles He successfully avoided the
danger, but Togo's fleet came up, COM
pelling a general engagement In which
the Japanese were again favored by
the superiority of torpedo boats, thirty
to eight. Their artillery was also
stronger by half as many guns and
their secondary battery by third more
than their main batteries. The Japan
ese, according to their custom, concen-
trated their fire on the f1agships, Ret
zivan and Czarovitch, which were both
crippled" The writer adds that he
does not expect that Togo was in a
position to follow up the Russian war
ships, which he claims, escaped, and
probably are headed for Vladivostock.
A General Attack on Port Arthur.
Che Foo, Aug. 15.-Th..t general
land and naval attack was made On

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 11.-Promoters
of the Bryan dollar" banquet to be
given in Lincoln on January 18th in
honor of the former presidential can
didate upon the occasion of his return
from his European tour, have annulled
the previous ban placed upon Gold
Democrats who left the party, and to-

promulgated that all who choose to
come are welcome.
Applications already made for seats
indicate an attendance of eight hun

There is no little speculation as to
the trend of Bryan's remarks at the
dinner in view of the action of the
promoters of the banquet in extending
the olive branch to the gold wing of
the party.
