London. September 27. Th- Tinies tomor
row will publish a dispatch from its cor
respondent ut Che-Foo. China, who sea ls
an ae.-oiinl of the naval battle at Yula,
furnished by a naval taiicer who was pres
ent. The aeeount is mainly a repetition
of previous reports, but adds tiiat the con
cussion of the first discharge of the guns
of th- Ting-Yuen threw everyliody off the
bridge of the snip. The Japanese ships ap
peared in columns or divisions, the Une
ahead of the divisions being disposed
abeam. Coming el .sir they tried to form
a line abreast. The chines- .ships start *4
in a s- •tiici.il line abr-ast at a rate of .’peel
of seven knots an hour. As they earn
nearer the Japan, se ap|>eai'ed t > form in
a quarter line, to whi.-li tin* Chinese ie
pii. I by turning two points to the star
board. thus keeping their !«>ws toward th *
enemy. Approaching within 4,100 yards,
the whole Japanese licet seemed io turn
eight points to port, thereby forming a sin
gle line ahead and steaming across the
Cliln.se line turtle! its starboard wing.
The Chinese w -re uttalde to keep puce
with til- enemy, and etiffiivor-d to follow
their movements by kc-ping bow on them
as ill- Japanese shins eir-led around, main
taining Hi- while a heavy boinbardnieat.
The Japanese fl-et that kept in the tlii<-k
of the light consist-4 of six ships of the
X tien class. Tile J tpanese ships having
<■oi.ipl. ted one «‘irele, hauled off to a dis
tan of yar 1 ’ an.l went through an
evolution W’ith tie* ol>,i- t of s. i<::rating into
two divisions, the lit.a consisting of sev :i
of their Ih t ku-wn and swit.est truisvrs,
and the st .s-nd of live inferior ships which
rt.Hil off som- distance. The battle thus
arrange.l itself into two groups, four t’hi
in cruisers becoming eiiga d wdh the
se-oiid division, while two ironclads, the
’’hen-Yuen and Ting-Yuen, attacked th**
first division. The lighting of the s. .-..nd
division was irregular and <iitii< ul; to fol

Japanese ilivisio i carried on tit- figh* with
the ironclads by circling around at a dis
tance of ;,.ro -.;i> I--, the Ch. n-X’uen ami
Ting-X’uen k-> pirn- to- -ttier, following th
.•many's movetn. nts in a smaller circle,
the w hole ev >|u ion taking a spiral I- . tn.
Occasionally the .list m<-- between the op
posing ships was reduced to 2.000 jnrffis
and once to !.2tM yards. Tin* Japanese aimed
at keeping a long distance awry so :i ’ to
avail themselve.i of their superior speed

guns. The object of the Chin se was to

Yuen, was enveloped in a cloud of white
smoke, which iay heavily on the water and
completey covered the ship.
The Chinese vessels waited for the clo’ud
to clear away and got their port guns
ready, but before the Yoshima became visi
ble their fire was diverted by a Japanese
vessel of the Matsusima type, which came
on at a distance of 2,200 yards on the port
quarter. The guns that were laid for the
Y’usliima were tired at the newcomer with
the result that she began to return.
Whether these three Japanese ships re
ceived mortal injury is uncertain. In the
latter part of the battle the Chinese iron
clads ran short of common shells and con
tinued the action with steel shot. This
was effective, as the Japanese vessels had
no armor. The two ironclads fired 197
rounds with twelve-inch guns and 263
rounds with six-inch guns.

Vcmmclm Well Handled.
Tn regard to the conclusions to be drawn
from tin* battle it may !>.* said tiiat the
Chines- battle ships proved formidable.
Tiie Chinese ironclads stood the battering
of tiie heavy quick-firing guns admirably.
Tiieir upper struct ores were severely dani
ag-<l, but not a shot penetrated a vita!
part. Tiie barbette protection of the
twelve-inch guns was most effective, very
few nieii being wounded within the bar
b-ties. Tiie barbette turrets were as in
tuit aft-r the action as before.
This fact, however, coupled wlji the fact
that the si.-ir. 'h guns at both ends of tiie
ships, which wi-e only slightly prot-cted.
w !■. al*<» miffiitnageil, stems to indicate
that th.' destructive eff-ct was due to the
enormous number of projectiles from the
quiik-tifing guns rather tii.in to tin* skilled
i.ir- .‘tion of the sliots. The maneuvering
< f the Japanesi' first division excited great
admiration. Taking advantage of th Ir

they always kept at the distance that suit

KILLIXG OF XX. K. HOGF.HS
By J. B. Surls, nt Bitch, Ga.—V Tragedy
Which Grew Oat of I’olities.
J. sup, Ga., September 30.—(Special.)—
News reached here this morning of the
killing of XX’. K. Kogers by J. B. Surls,
yesterday afternoon, at Hitch, Ga., in this
county, about fourteen miles from this
pl- ee.
t'wing to the swollen condition of the
creeks from the recent heavy rains, it is
a difficult matter to get th- full particulars
of the killing. However, from the most
reliable information received it is said tiiat
.Mr. Surls is a very stanch democrat and
Mr. Kogers was a populist. For several
weeks past the third partyites of that sec
tion nave been threatening the democrats,
and especially Surls, he b-ing the one upon
whom vengeance had been sworn. For the
past few days he has been receiving letters
instructing him to have his business in
shape within lhe next live days and leave
Hie county or quit tiie democratic party.
If he did not do so he would la* severely
dealt with. Kogers is supposed to be the
one who wrote the anonymous letters, and
being spoken to in reference to tiie matter,
a difficulty followed, result.ng as stated
above.
Tiie populists of this county have become
v ry threatening lately towards the demo
crats and the negroes who anticipate vot
-11 g with them. Last night I’. H. Hurst and
XVilliams, negroes, addressed a crowd of
tin !r race at Sandhill. In tiehalf of the
democratic party. Alter th- speaking it
i* said a d-spu-ate negro, named Drake,
drew his rille and attempted to shoot XX'ii
ll’in*s for speaking democratic principles,
and no doubt would have succeeded had not
Mr. L. K. Aiken interfered and put a stop
to the difficulty upon his property.
There are quite a number of negroes in
the country pre: (nets who have always
voted with the democrats in state and coun
ty elections and will eontii’.ue to do so if
; he'.' are not molested at the polls. A great
many of them, no denbt, will stay away
from the polls on account of f-ar. as many
threats have been made against them if
they vote other than a populist ticket. .
The negrut s of this di Atriet are practically
solid for the democrats and have passed
resolutions cbinh inning the populists and
the means they are using to keep voters
from the polls, and have appealed to the
colored voters of the country districts
to vote Hie democratic ticket in the dis
tricts where they live, or come here and
cast their ballots without molestation. This
place can lioast of having the best col
ored citizens of any place double its size
in this state, and they recognize the fact
that the democrats are their best friends,
and that they have always been eared for
by them when in trouble.

At <l.l ton. S. C., a station on the Florida

to noa-d a southbound train as it da.'hed by

mime as Samuel Williams and his address
as 2736 th raiantown afenue. Philadelphia.
He was a handsome lad, well dressed, ap
pa'.ently of respectable parentage and had
♦3.60 in a belt about his waist. His story
was that he had run away from home with
out cause and without saying goodby to
his mother and father, to use his own
words, anil not wishing to spwi his re
maining money, tried to get on the moving
train and lost his footing. He was fear
fully crushed between the wheels. Gaston

death was imminent the poor little fellow

The jteople of Gaston gave him every pos

it was one of their own sons. They mark
ed the grave and can point it out to any ot
his friends.
FELLY ANSWERED,
Are tho Cliu’ge» the I'oimlists Are Making
Against < oltmtoi AtkiiiHoii.
The efforts of the populists to deceive the
negroes have been redoubled during the
past week, and now they are working of
a desperation, such as only a knowledge of
the certainty of defeat could inspire.
Everything possible to delude and to mis
represent is being done.
Tin* state is being flooded with illustrated
circulars, in which Colonel Atkinson is
mad,- to appear in the ml- of whipping a
negro, woman, and is also quoted as advis
ing a white man to cut a negro in an elec
tion controversy.
Doth of these charges are fully answered
in the following affidavits:
Emmett Lovelace, father of the woman
who, it is charged, Colonel Atkinson whip
ped, makes this affidavit:
“Georgia, Coweta County.—Personally ap
peared before me, a clerk of the superior
court, in and for said county and state, the
undersigned, who, being duly sworn, de
poseth and saith. that he is the father of
Mary Lovelace, whom It is charged by one,
H. C. T. Kittles, that XX'. Y. Atkinson se
verely chastised in 1882. Th.* charge is un
true both as to date and the manner in
which said alleged punishment was admin
istered. The real facts are as follows:
About thirteen years ago my daughter,
Mary, was employed in Mr. Atkinson's
family ns nurse. Siu* committed an offense
that required correction and .Mr. Atkinson
report' d the matter to me. I told him that
my daughter was under his charge and I
desired that he make her know her place.
I also requested him to correct her, which
I presume he did, as I heard nothing mon*
of it. I regard .Mr. Atkinson as a good man
and have had nothing but fair treatment
from him.

date of September 14th. the steamer Alena

the following advices:

ed 50w of them, who were in Aana, de
stroyed, as far as the property of the
government was concerned, no less than
■ n villages, old men, women and chk-
n ‘l, ven for shelter into the bush.
On th; return of the royal troops to Achia
from Saiuafuta, where the surrender had
tai n place, a number of meetings were
h. Id to determine the wisest Course to
bring the Aana people, with Tamases at
their head, under subjection. At the meet
ing between the commanders c * t} ;® CU *7
coa and Buzzard and King Nlali«*toa it
was decided to avoid any further shelli.it
of native villages..
“A letter from Captain Schoder to f ap
tain Gibson, of the Curaeoa, brought that
ship down and Tamases was notitied. that
he might come on board with his principal
chiefs, and the question of cessation of
' hostilities l»e gone into. On the following
' morning the rebel chief with his eight
I subordinate chiefs boarded the Curaeoa,
■ where, after a two hours’ conference with

‘ for peace were arranged. Tamases and
the other chiefs agreed to make obeisance

I chief.
“<>n the following day the guns wore
handed over, the late rebel forces pr-sum
j ably di.- banded and the government (roeps

has proved to be nothing more than a
farce. Since its proclaimed consumma

burned out, both by the late rebels, n
each case considerable property being stolen
and destroyed. Th re have been a great

Dublin, Septomlier 24.—The Freeman's
Journal publishes a letter from Dr. Thomas
Addis Emmet, of N«*w York, in regard ti
the dissensions in the Irish party. Dr. Em
met calls Justin McCarthy’s attention to
the disastrous consequences ’o the national
movement in America by the constant ref
erences to scand ",1 and the public discus
sions of the differences existing between
the factions of the Irish party. The Na
tional Federation, Dr. Emmet writes, was
about to hold meetings in order to raise
money for the nationalist cause, but the
whole movement in America has been im
perileil by Mr. Healy’s letter about Mr.
Gladstone's subscription to tho parliament-
I ary fund. He recalls the fact that the
I 1 Irish federation in America has sent Ire
land sS3.o<ki during the last three years,
and Ireland could have relied upon an an
s nu*l remittance of SIO,OOO but for the re
