Late War News.

New York, May 24. —Reports reached New York today of a big sea battle raging between the Allies and Central Powers in which the American fleet is engaged. No details as to the result received at Washington.

Kanne-Vance fight, Mr. Kanne thinks that we did not represent him justly. He claims that he did not strike Mr. Vance until Vance had struck him and called him a very bad name. He says he did not want to tight with Vance because of the difference in their ages. But after Vance had hit him twice with a hammer Kanne says he did* go after him and was giving him a good pummelling when friends pulled him off. It is understood that Vance has been very careless about paying a number of his obligations about town.
