TB?BBLE EXPECTED IN 8?YTI. filoions Demonstrations in Parti ?a Prince Yesterday. Port An Paince, Hayti* August 2. The most? serious disorders are antici? pated here. The population is very much exxcited by the continued rise in the prices of the me rchandise, and a band of soldiers today made an effort to pillage the central [market and the shops in that vicinity. Other troops and police immediately interven e? and re-established order. All the stores in Port-Aa Prince, however, are cow closed. Daring ihe day a number of Syrians were stoned in the streets, two of them were wounded and their stalls, sur rounding the central market, were de? stroyed by soldiers. Mr. Powell, the American minister, has informed President Nord that all engagements entered into with Ameri? can citizens must be respected, and that the railroad fare from Port Au Prince to the interior, being an Americas enterprise, must be pro? tected py the Haytien Government sud enabled to continue in operation. _I' [ OUR NAVY ON THE WATCH. Washington, Aug. 2.-iii isfc?r Powell's recent reports to the State department have fully prepared offi? cials of the State department for the present condition of disquiet and riot? ing at Port Au Prince. Upon a quiet hint from the State department the navy department has been keeping a close eye upon the situation in Hay ti and Admiral Sigsbee, with his Cari? bes n squadron, has managed ?to keep at' least ~o*e war ship at ali times within a'day cr two sail of the Hay tian Capital. The American interests ia Port Au Prince aad vicinity are considerable, and, aside from the railroad and some local municipal properties, some of the surrounding plantations are controlled by American pita!. mmmm mi mimili Government May Take a Hand in Confiscation Matter. Vladivostok, Aug. 4.-The prize court has decided to confiscate such portion of the cargo of the Portland and Asiatic line steamer Arabia as] was consigned to Japanese ports, namely 59,000 pounds of flour and the railroad equipment, this portion con? stituting ?ess than half the bulk and weight of her cargo, the remainder consisting of 142,500 pounds of flour consigned to Hong Song. The confiscat? ed portion of the cargo is now being unloaded. As soon as this is complet? ed the steamer will be released. Washington, Aug. 4.-Tibe Arabia case is likely to develop strongly one f important contention os the part of this government, namely that food I stuffs on a neutral ship are not subject I to seizure even in the war zone pro? vided they are not i tended for the use v of the army or nary of belligerent. It has been supposed that the Russian 1 government itself subscribed fully to this rule and that is why Washington is waiting to learn what unknown and qualifying conditions were developed before the Vladivostok prize court to justify the confiscation of American flour consigned to Japanese individu? als and sot to the government sor in? tended for its sse. Counsel for the Portland Milling Ca were before the department yester? day asd insisted that the estire cargo of the vessel was individually consign? ed and consequently that there was .not one pound of contraband goods liable to seizure aboard the ship.

Their Loss Estimated to Have Been Twenty* Thousand-The Russian Loss Not Great. Further Mews of the Russian Defeat Around Hai Cheng. St Petersburg, Aug. 3, 1.30 p. m. -The first Russian report of the storming operations at Port Arthur has just been received from the consul of Russia at Che foo, dated today. It says a general attack began Saturday with tfoe Japanese in immense force. There were two days of bombardment of unprecedented violence. The Jap? anese, at the time ci sending this dispatch, the consr. 1 ads, dhad every? where been repulsed with great loss. The Japanese. casualties possibly reached 20,000,. but the Russian losses were insignificant. The consul further reports that the Russians have an abundance of ammu? nition. The telegram does not men? tion naval operations, but it is here considered possible that the Russian warships participated in shelling the besiegers from the sea. TiEWfc AS TOLD Bi* REFUGEES. Cfcefocv 'Aug. 3, 6 p. m.-The steamer Wuchow, which has arrived here from New Chwang, brings fur? ther details of the latest Japanese as? sault on Port Arthur. When nearing Chefoo, the Wuchow picked up a junk carrying seven men, four men and one boy who left Port Arthur yester? day. They reported that the fighting, north of the city of Port Arthur oc? curred at 'Wolf Hill, and was sangui? nary, resulting; in the repulse of the Japanese. This hill is situated near the railroad and eight trains were kept busy bringing the wounded sol? diers into the city. The wounded men from the east forts reached Port Arther in ali kinds of vehicles, many, however, coming afoot, drag? ging shattered limbs. The Russians unite in declaring that the fortress will never fall but they expect that scarcely a building will bc left in the city where now there is scarcely a whole plane of glass. The Wuchow confirms the statement that the "fighting abated during the night of July 28-but had not completely subsided when the refugees left The Russian fleet from its anchor? age, shelled the advancing Japanese, after returning from what seems to have been a reconnoitering manoeuver. The Chinese arriving here tonight say that the Japanse captured two light garrisoned forts on the east shore but abandoned them when their comrades I were repulsed from other positions. The Russians, however, insist that ; this is untrue. j The Japanese, while repulsed have by BO means been beaten, and a re? newal ?of the fighting was expected when the junk departed yesterday ! form Port A rthur. j The Japanese are now ocupying the ! outpost trenches which they captured from the Russians. Both the Japanese and Russian fleets are reported to be in excellent condition. RUSSIAN ?EFEAT CONFIRMED. Tokio, Aug. ?, 10 a. m.-The Jap? anese defeated the Russians at Tomacbeng .(-Simoucheng?) and drove them toward Hai Cheng in a sharp fight which began last Saturday and ended on Sunday. The Russians left 1,300 dead on the field and lost six gana, The Russians occupied a rage of hills north of Tonucheng (Simcacheng?), which wera strongly defended with covered trenches, a fortress and cover? ed emplacements, which consumed months in constructing. Th* Japa? nese seized a range of height? to the southward on Saturday. Tney began the attack at daylight on Sunday. The Japanese left wing encountered severe opposition. The Russians were gradually reenforced and their artil? lery was increased to 21 gams. The Japanese, who were also reenforced, renewed the attack at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and drove the Kassia. 3 northward. The Japanese right, ex? posed to a severe artillery fire, was force to halt The Russians, who were reenforced, assumed the offensive at 5.80 o'clock in the evening but were repulsed with a heavy loss. The Rus? sian artillery prevented the Japanese from pursuing, and during the night the Russians withdrew toward Hai Cheng; The Japanese casnaities were about 400. Gen. Kuroki has telegraphed that in the two days* fighting at Yangtsu? ling and Yushulintzu his losses were 6 officers killed, 16 officers wounded and 950 men killed and wounded. New Chwang, Aug. 4.-It is re-j ported here this moraing that the Russian army under the command of ! Gen. Kuropatkin has been driven back to tiie last line of defense at Hai Chang and Ping Yan. They are now bombarding the Russian positions with 350 guns. The Japanese are expected to take Mukden within a few days. London, Aug. 4.-The Russian aux? iliary cruiser Doserai has left the Bal? tic in pursuit of one British and two Swedish vessels which are believed to be carrying torpeedo and submarine boals for the Japanese. If overtaken the vessels will be seized as prizes, if they are found to be carrying contra? band articles. St. Petersburg, Aug. 5, 3.10 a. m. The fact that there, is no further new. from the front beyond Gen. Zassa litch's account of the fighting at Sim cucheng on July 31* bears'cut the As sociated Pross explanation that the Japanese are halting to bring up sup? plies, especially ammunition, of which a modern ergagement entails an ex? travagant expenditure and without which it woe ld be impossible even for a victorious army to follow its success. The official estimate of the loss of over 1,000. agrees with the figures in a belated dispatch from Liiao Yang re: ferring to tho same fighting and which also says that the Russians were fully prepared to told their positions when commanded to retire, which was car? ried out in i?erfect order, g The tropical heat continues and there have been many sunstrokes. The receipt of Gen. Zassalitch's dis patck.was generally known today and gave rise tc extravagant rumors of further fighting around Hai Cheng, and several press dispatches were sent off describing a fresh battle between the forces of Gen. Zassalitch and Gen. Oku. There is no apparent justification for such sensational reports. The best in? formed military authorities declare that there l as been no fighting since the Russians fell back to Liandian asian, Anping and Anshanshan. WHAT A REFUGEE SAYS. Chafoo, A ag. 5, 8 a. m.-S. A. Serebriaik, who was a passenger on the British steamer Hipsang, which was sui;k by a Russian torpedo boat in Pigeon bay, July 16, and who was among the refugees who arrived here yesterday on the German steamer Sulbery, was interviewed today. Ac? cording to hin version the fighting be? fore Port Arthur from July 26 to 28, inclusive, was directed against the laast of the outer defenses, namely, Wolf, Green and Christ hills, situated east of the city. The Japanese cap? tured Wolf aEd Green hills, but failed to take Christ Hill, which was the only outpost held by the Russians when Mr. Sorebrinik left Port Ar? thur. A Pom Arthur newspaper esti? mated the Russian loss at 200 killed and! 800 wounded, the Japanese loss at J7,000 killed sind wounded. The main force of the Russian army defending Port Arthur is now inside the numer? ous permanent forts which constitute the fortress. RISK LIFE FOR WATER. A London, Aug. 5.-The war news in the London newspapers this morning is again restricted to official dispatch? es. A few very brief dispatches from Gen. Kuroki's headquarters in the Seid-*BTe]priuted, bat they give no ad? ditional information to that already known. The Daily Mail's correspondent with Gen. Kuroki describes the suf? ferings of t!ie men from the heat. He says that one regiment, maddened by thirst, ru3hed into a river under the full Russian fire and drank at the peril of their lives. JAPAN EXPECTS FALL OF PORT ARTHUR. Tokio, Aug. 4.-The Japanese are hourly awaiting tidings of a victory at Port Arthur with more interest and eagerness th in heretofore displayed during the war. From a political, strategical and sentimental standpoint the position of the Russian force and naval base is considered o: paramount importance by the Japanese. It is known that the Japanese noose about the besieged city is gradually tightening. The Japanese guns are pouring fire into the diminishing circle and it is felt here that the (critical hour is fast ap? proaching. Hut the pnbiic here is ignorant c* the hour when the final assault wih ve - made and also of the details of *ie wonk already done around Pon, A rt hu c. It is believed that the fire from the Japanese batteries will compel the Russian fleet to leave the harbor and accept battle from Admiral Togo. It is becoming proverbial that the Japa? nese infantry will go anywhere and will refuse to retire no matter how great their losses may be. It is believ? ed that Port Arthur could have been taken before this time with a heavy sacrifice of :Life but it is evident that the military leaders axe working tc effect the reduction and capture the fortress witt the minimum loss of life. There will be no charges of great masses of infantry until the ar? tillery has finished the task of silenc? ing the Russian guns. A story is cur? rent to the effect that the emperor has expressed the wish that the cap? ture shall be effected with the smallest possible sacrifie of life, hence the care and precision taken by the Japanese in approaching the Russian defenses and the extensive use of the larger engines of the war with which to clear the way. London, Aug. 5.-Reports have been rceived Irora Ping Yang and New Cb wang that a decisive battle between the Japanese and Russian forces is under way today north of Hai Cheng. The flanking movements of Gen. Kuroki's army have effectually cut off the retreat of the Russian army by the northern route to Mukden. Only the western roads are open to the Russians. Heilbrown, Aug. 5.--Over three hundred houses in Ilsfeld, Watten? berg, were burned early this morning, causing an immense monetary loss. Many persons were killed or injured by falling walls.

The Foreign Merchants and Other j Business Men are in Danger of Massacre by the He- . ! groes. Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Aug. 4. The city of Port-au-Prince is in a state of great disorder. Bands of sol? diers throwing stones prevent the Sy? rians from reopening their stores. American citizens have 'hoisted the Stars and Stripes over their residences and a number of them have sought refuge in the American legation, driving there in carriages flying the American flag and pursued by the populace throwing stones. After the disorders of the morning Mr. Powell, the American minister, went to the palace and demanded of President Nord that the government should take immediate action to stop the disorders, and to protect all fore? igners and their proprety, demanding especially that American interests be protected. The president sent for the minister of the interior and the military gover? nor and ordered them to take imme? diate steps to stop the disorders and for this purpose to send troops and police to the disturbed districts. President Nord assured Minister Powell that the lives and property of foreigners would be protected and said he would see that their business did not suffer. After the interview at the palace, Miniter Powell, Alexander Battiste, the American deputy consul, and Gen. Carrie^ the military governor, visited the disturbed districts and personally saw that protection was given ??o the houses of th.e foreigners. The energetic and prompt action of Minister Powell has no doubt saved .not only the property, but the lives of foreigners and prevented greater dis? turbances. PEE DEE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Executive Committee Meets in Florence-Business of Import? ance Transacted. The Executive Committee of the Pee Dee Historical Society? held a meeting in Florence last Thursday, July 28. Those present were Col. J. J. ^Dargan, secretary; H. M.* Ayer, vice president ; "W. A. Brunson, mem? ber of committee for Florence county ; Judge J. H. Hudson, member for Marloro and A. G. Kollock, member for Darlington. In the absence of Maj? or J. L. Coker, president, Mr. H. M. Ayer presided at the meeting. Maj. Coker, in a letter which he wrote to the committee, told of his inability to be present at the meeting on account of the sickness of his wife. His ab? sence was a great drawback to the meeting, but the time had come for the committee to take some decided ac? tion and get down to real work. Col. J. P. Thomas and Mr. A. E. Gonzales, of Columbia, were invited to take part in the proceeding of the meeting. Col. Dargan read the report of the president as tho the amount of money I which had been collected for the pro? secution of the work. About $150 was in the treasury collected from Chesterfield, Darlington and Horry counties. Mr. A. E. Gonzales, president of The State Co., who was present told of a plan which Ire had to republish old books written by South Caroli? nians but which are now out o? print. He proposed to get as many as 500 men in the State to contribute S5.00 a year and for that amuont each one would be furnished with a copy of each of the works which he would publish during the year. He said he had intended republishing "The Old Che raws" among the first. The commit? tee, therefore, endorsed Mr. Gonzales' plan and agreed to get up the matter for the"work from the time that Bish? op Gregg left off down through " re? construction.' * Mr. Gonzales will republish the old work as it stands this Fall, with cor? rections and explanations. The new part of the history will probably fill another volume and that will be pub? lished as soon as the manuscript can be furnished. J Col. Dargan was authorized by the committee to go to work collecting material for the second Volume and also to make the necessary corrections; in the old wor1*. The Welsh Neck School has alloted Col. Dargan three days in the week for this work and the other three days he will teach in the school. This will enable him tc push his historical work rapidly. The committee think now that something su bs tant i ial has been accomplished and the work will be pushed with all possible energy by Col. Dargan as? sisted by the committee. Before adjournment at Florence it was voted that the meetings of the committee in future be held in Dar? lington instead of Florence.-Darling? ton News.

Druggist is Awarded Damages Against State Constable in Yorkvilie Magistrate's Court Yorkville, Aug. 3.-A case of con? siderable interest was tried before a jury in Magistrate Comer's court yes? terday. It was a suit brought for Dr. John B. Bowen, a highly esteemed and reputable druggist of this place, for "claim and delivery" of 33 bottles of Pabst' Malt extract, or the value of it, S8.35, and for $90 damages, against State Constable A. Eose. , About the middle of July a State constable, named Drake, and a detec? tive, went into the drug store of Dr. Bowen when he was absent and induc? ed a young boy 14 years of age, who attended the soda fountain, to sell them a couple of drinks of the malt. They then - reported it to Constable Rose, who went to the store of JDr. Bowen and seized his stock of malt, and shipped it to Columbia. At the trial yesterday, a letter was read from District Constable Fant, stating that if the malt was sold as a medicine it was not to be interfered with, but if sold as a beverage it was to be treated as a violation of the dis? pensary l?^w. Dr. Burney, the State chemist, was here at the trial. Dr. Burney stated that he had bought a bottle of Pabst's malt at a drug store in Columbia the day before, for the purpose of analysis. The jury did not spend much time in discussing the case and rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, Dr. J. B. Bowen, for the recovery of the malt or its value, and for $25 dam? ages. New York's Moral Saloon. New York, Aug. ? -Bishop Henry C. Potter delivered the principal ad? dress today at the formal opening of "The Sub way Tavern," a model sa? loon, , which was established by a number of leaders in the reform movement in the city. The .purpose of the promoters of the enterprise is to serve pure liquor and food at low prices under the best possible moral conditions. In his address Bishop Potter said the keynote had been struck by this attack on the liquor situation. He said he 'believed in the old village tavern as a meeting place, where a long evening could be spent without the necessity of intoxication. "I belong to a dozen clubs," he said. "If I want to go out to dinner or a social evening I can do so in any one of these clubs. But what of the man who lives in two rooms with five small children? He has no club. To get his glass of beer with his luncheon he must go to the saloon. "This is the greatest social move? ment New York has ever known. It is a movement every one of you must take into account if you would save the Republic." Bishop Potter Icon eluded by wishing every success to the movement. The formal opening end? ed by the singing of the doxology. I find nothing better for liver derange? ment and constipation than Chamberlain's' Stomach-and Liver Tablets.- L. F.
