Death ot FreUerick Snatnpine an Old Resi- dent—Bohemian Glass Blowers All Next \Week—Fourth of July Cele- bration. Antwerp, May 20.—Frederick Sham-, pine, one of Antwerp's oldest resi- dents, died at his home i n Rockwell Creek yesterday morning in his 73d year. Mr. Shampine, who has been in poor health for some time, was a Chinese who recently arrived in Che Foo from New Chwang, while confirm- ing the above, also say that the Jap- anese are skirmishing- on either side of the railroad north and south of Kai Chou. Circulars have been posted at New Chwang and in its vicinity, signed by the chief of staff of the Japanese army, advising- the Chinese to niain- .tom Port Arthur that the bombard- ment oonrmenced at. 1 o'clock Monday afternoon and .that two hours later the the Shikishama struck the mine, and was soon at the bottom. During the confusion that followed according to the story told, the Asama also struck on a mine and was taken in tow, but was settling so fast that it- was found necessary \to abandon her. A number of Russian torpedo boats then went, out, but the Japanese re- ceived reinforcements and the Rus- sians retired. Today's arrivals say that the en- trance t o Port Arthur was blocked, but that one of the sunken steamers was removed and the entrance is now open but still dangerous and the Rus- sian fleet has been ordered to remain in the harbor until the arrival of Ad- miral Skrydloff, who will take com- mand. Communication north of Dalny has been completely severed. Later arrivals from Dalny have re- ported to the Russian consul that the Japanese battleship Shikishima sank in two minutes after contact with the submarine mine and that there was no time to save the crew. The acci- dent happened, it is said, within sight of Port Arthur. They also said it was the battleship Fuji, not the cruis- er Asama, which struck the mine off the port bow, but was rig-hted and tain order and secure stocks of pro- visions and transport wagons, for ', w , eil t off in tow of the other cruisers, which the Japanese will \pay full value.

London, May 20.—Special dispatches from Shanghai to the London morn- ing- papers report that the Shikishima was sunk, while the Fuji and the Asama had to be towed away badly damgaed. Presumably the Russians wrongly identified the vessels, the Shikishima and the Hatsuse being REPULSES FOR BOTH SIDES. St. Petersburg, May 20.—Confirming the intimations that it is Gen.

Among the many attractions talked of i s a professional game of baseball. Ant- werp has had some first class celebra- tions and there is no reason why they could not have one the coming 4th.
