War 2Tevs. | London, June 15 ?The Tokio cor- j F respondent of the Central News wires j that a naval battle is proceeding oft the Island of Tsu-Shina, between Japan and Korea, between three cruisers of the Russian Vladivostok squadron and Japanese vessels No details are at hand. ^ The earlier dispatch from the cor-j respondent stated that the Russian | fleet had escaped from Vladivostok | and is now at sea. The fleet was j first reported yesterday at Okinosima, east of Tsu-Shima, where three warships were seen. They were unl doubtedly part of the Vladivostok squadron. Later in the day cannonading was heard northwest of Nagota. The nature of the fight has not transpired. There is further confirmation, the correspondent says, of the doings of the Kuseian squadron. The squadron was given battle this morning by the captain of the Japanese steamer, which was fired on by the fleet. Heavy cannonading also was heard this morning in the neighborhood of Iki Shima, island not far from Tsu-Shima. ^ JAPANESE DEFEATED. Chefoo, June 15. ?A report states that the Japs suffered a severe re- ! pulse north of Kin Chow. There is i no confirmation of the report. i P'.RT ARTHUR HARBOR OPEN. Tokio, June 15 ?A dispatch re- ! ceived today states that the entrance j to Port Arthur harbor is again open. The Russian cruiser Novik, the dispatch adds, yesterday emerged and j engaged the Japanese fleet. LARGE SIEGE GUNS. Rome, June 15 ?A message from Chefoo states that the Japanese have succeeded in placing fifty-two large siege guDS on the heights north of ! Port Arthur. People who escaped : from the town say that only combatl FOR TOR^D ^ A torpid liver deranges the whole system, and produces SICK HEADACHE, Dyspepsia, Costiveness, Rheumatism, Sallow Skin and Piles.

WAS NO ROUT. St. Petersburg, JuDe 1G?The war office here deny that there was anything in the nature of a rout. The enemy had over four divisions in action. VICTORY OF JAPANESE Tokio, June 16 ?The Russian hope of relieving the pressure on Port Arthur by threatening the rear of Gen. Oko, the commander of the Japanese forces investing the Russian stronghold, came to an end yesterday at Telissu, a point on the railroad 50 miles north of Kincbou and 25 miles Dorth of Vafangow, when the Russians were oui-manouvred, enveloped and sweepingly -? * i-j mi I~ei ? son aeieateu. jlury itm muio mau yvy dead on the field and the Japanese captured 300 prisoners and 14 quickfiring field guns. The Russians retreated hastily to the Dorthward. Early estimates of the Japanese losses at Telissu say that 1,000 men were killed or wounded. THE JAPANESE LOSE TWO TRANSPORTS Tokio, June 1C.?All doubt as to the sinking of the transports Hitachi and Sado by the Russians has been removed. Three hundred and ninetyseven survivors of the Hitachi have arrived at Mojt and 153 survivors of the Sado have arrived at Kokura. Details obtainable from the survivors of the ill fated Japaonee transports show that the Hitachi and^ the Sado met three Russian warships near Iki island. The Russians fired on the Japanese ship3 and stepped them, and soon afterward they torpedoed and sank the helpless transsports. It is reported that the transports Hitachi and Sado carried only 1,400 men. If this is true, the loss in lives is probably less th9n 1,000. The transports, however, had many horses and large quantities of supplies on board. The Highlander Destroyed. Manager T. D. Love of the Highlander was greatly surprised and profoundly shocked Thursday night by a telegram saying the Highlander had been burned 25 miles above Georgetown. The telegram gave no particulars and nothing is known here as to the origin of the fire. The boat was on its way to Georgetown at the time and had no cargo. The vessel was practically new, having been built only three years ago, and was valued at S12,000. It was insured for only S3,000, with J. - H. Boatwright & Son at Wilmingtoo, N. C Although the telegram says "total loss," Manager Love is of the opinion that much of the machinery may be saved. The loss falls heavily on Mr. Love?he and not the Chamber of Commerce being the owner. The Highlander was the first and only boat on the line the Chamber of Commerce instituted this spring to give Columbia water connection with the coast. The business has steadily increased since the first trios, and ar. raDgements had just been made for hauling cottoD, which would greatly relieve the situation and for which the Chamber of Commerce had been working for several months. Just what steps will be taken to put another boat in commission on the river cannot be said at this time, but there is no doubt but that this will be done as quickly as the Chamber of Commerce can make the arrangements. JrtttW MUbUVlAU VUU1W. Special to The State. Spartanburg, JuDe 15?The congregation of the Lutheran church baa purchased & suitable lot on sou*h Converse street from Capt. N. F. Walker, on which it is their aim to build a substantial, modern house of worship. In their undertaking they wili be assisted by the united synod of the south. Rev. Dr. S. T. Hallman of Newberry is in charge of the Spartanburg Lutheran congregation. .JH^WUMjyMMtmU.l.miMWIM-IWJlJI.LL.IJIl.lll HIIWIIH $42? an Aero.

V One of the queerest corners of the earth is Chatham island, off the coast of Ecuador. The island lies GOO miles west of Guayaquil, and the iquator runs directly through it. It abounds in cats, every one of which is black. These animals live in the crevices of the lava foundation near the coast and subsist by catching fish and crabs instead of rats and mice. Other animala found on this island are horses, cattle, dog?, goats and j chickens, all of which ate perfectly j wild. . j It is r>robable that none of the i State cfii.-ers will have opposition for j re-election.
