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?

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

ia Port Au Prince aad vicinity are
considerable, and, aside from the
railroad and some local municipal
properties, some of the surrounding

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.

The Japanese Attack The Russian
[ Defences With Immense Force but
Fail to Capture the Strong?
hold.
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,

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?

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?

J. A. Burgers, clerk and bookkeeper, resid?
ing at 317 W. Liberty Strett says: "My back
has been in a bad condition for a number of
years. At, times it was so weak I could not
get a?x>ut and there was a constant dull pain
across the loins. The secretions from the
kidneys were all out of sorts, very dark and
contained a brick dust sediment and were too
frequent in action, disturbing my rest at
night. My eye? watered terribly and pained
considerably. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills and
heard them spoken so highly of that I pro?
cured them at Dr. A. J. China's drug store. I
may say that the result of their use very
much pleased me. for I ?clt a hundred per
cent, better, the pain in my back left, my
ejres stopped watering and my eyesight im?
proved while the kidneys were regulated and
I could sleep all night without having to get
up. Doan's Kidney Pills acted like a charm
on me and I can recommend them."
