The belief in the naval circles in
Washington is that the japanese re-

in their attacks on the vessels Of Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky's feet. The
japanese have a large number of tor
pedo boats in their fleet and they de-
monstrated their effectiveness in the

that it was unlikely that such serious

that some land planted to cotton Will

Cotton planting has been finished,

Stands of cotton are generally good,

rain and the recent cool nights. In
some of the southeastern counties.
some fields have been plowed up and

BATTLE IN THE STRAITS OF KOREA
According to information Received at
the State Department in Washing
ton, the Battle Began Saturday, the
Japanese Sinking the Russian Bat
tieship Borodino, Four More War
ships and Repair Ship.

According to the latest information,
the battle between the Russian and
Japanese naval forces for the suprem-
acy OF the Oriental seas, on which
hangs the outcome of the far Eastern
struggle, has begun, If it has not term
mated decisively All the dispatches
received point to a Japanse victory,
though it is not yet known whether
the full force of Vice Adrimal Rojest-
vensky's fighting ships took part in the
contest, which. according to the dis
patches, took place in the comparative
ly narrow waters of the Straits Of Ko-
ia. The first information came in a
Gispatch from the American consul at
Nagasaki to the State Department at
Washington, telling that the japanese
had sunk one Russian battleship, four
other warshios and a repair ship in
the Korean Strait and this was fol-
lowed by a dispatch received by the
State Department, the date of which
was not given, that the Japanese gov
ernment had made the announcement
that its feet had engaged the Rus
slams in the Straits of Korea Saturday
and had held them" The State De-
partment also received information
that two of the vessels reported to
have been sunk were the sister battle
ships Orel and Borodino, and that three
Of the other ships were cruisers. From
Tsingtau, the German port on the
Shantung Peninsula, came report that
running naval engagement took place
near the Island Of Oki, in the Sea Of
Japan, 200 miles northeast of the
Straits Of Korea, and that the whole
Russian fleet did net participate, the
slow vessels having been sent around
Japan. Russian sources give no news
Of the battle, while the Japanese gov
ernment, following its custom, is silent
as to either the battle or its outcome.

PALACE OF MARVELS.
How w. w. Aston VIII Make Fairy
land In England.

From the London Mirror
Amazing wonders are being wrought
by Mr. William Waldorf Aston, the
American millionaire and naturalized
British subject, upon the historic He
yer estate in Kent, which he recently
purchased.
The artistic owner is speaking
money with a lavish hand in Deautlfy-
ing the expanse of 1000 acres that
spread around the old moated castle.
Though the cost of the undertaking
is probably not definitely known TO
Mr. Astor himself the popular esti-
mate is that e1,250.000 will be ex-
pended upon the Improvements during
the next two years.
There is no buster area in Industrial
England today. About 1000 men of all
trades have taken up their residences
in the neighborhood.
Yesterday the Daily Mirror paid a
visit to the place, which nestles at The
foot of hill The road which hither-
to led close to the castle has been
diverted and now passes some nun
dred yards further away. To make
this new road it has been necessary
to build two new bridges over the
River Eden, which winds through the
estate.
Round the castle masons and car
penters are building picturesque
village, toned to harmonic with the
gray old walls of the CASTLE A br1dse
built across the moat joins the new

buildings with the old. But the most
gigantic part of the work is the MAX
ing of lake where formerly green
meadows stretched. The lake will
cover an area of nearly fifty acres
and will be Is fet in depth.
In its present topsy-turvy state the
estate suggests Champham Junction,
for everywhere run railway lines, and
fussy little engines snort up and down.
Each day $50 truckloads of soil are
carried away to make bed for the
great lake.
Round the outer edge of the estate
runs a fine deer fence, and pond is
being dug. High up on the hill a
model farm has been built, with every
modern and most perfect appliance.
Close behind the castle an Italian
garden is being laid out, surrounded
by high walls, with many inches and
stone brackets for statues
The utmost rigor is observed TO
keep the public from entering the es-
tate and from taking photographs of
the building as it rises. Workmen
have been discharged at a moments
notice who have tried to snapshot the
operations.
Only a few days ago well-known
member of the peerage motored over
for the purpose of taking snapshot
or two of the place. No allowance
was made for the distinguished Wis
itor; he had to depart empty handed.
Mr.. Astor himself takes the keenest
interest in his great project, and is
constantly down at Hever watching
the working of the miracle
Hever Castle is of great antiquity,
and was built by Sir Henry Hever in
the reign of Edward III. 1t was here
that Henry VIII. domiciled Anne of
Cleve.
