4 The Tables Tufncd-A Stunning
Sensation,
Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEw York, August 81, 1871.-The
evening papers to-day contain a dispatch
from Washington that the Secretary of the
Navy has received dispatches containing
full details of the second battle in Cores,
but is unwilling to as yet lay them in full
before the public. Hong Kong papers of
July were received in this city to-day,
sno the New York journals will furnish
tomorrow the details received by the
Secretary. Among these details is found
the following important news, which is
the latest from the scene of hostilitiss,
and may possibly be the cause of the
SecretarY's silence:
"a The Szechuene brings word that junk
from Corea brought news TO Gle 90 that
two American meu-of war had run ashore,
one, of them being the Colorado, and
NOLCnu5 cuAACuuuCn tASAA
and killed every soul on board, except
Mr.. Low, the American Minister, whom
they we've keeping as hostage.
1t is stated by well informed parties
that as soon as this news spread among
the Chinese at Chefoo, 6 very obvious
and unfaVorable change took place in
their demeanor toward foreigners, even
working coolies strutting along with
certain anti .foreignswagger. Their srgu-
ment was, if even the Coreans can handle
foreigners so, what cannot the Chinese
accomplish
To the Associated PrssI
official.
WASHINGTON, Aug. % The following
details regarding the recent operations in
Cores, are condensed from the official
reports to the Navy Department by Adj
mirl Rogers. They are the official ne
gotisJions of Minister Low, and contain |
details not given in the press dispatch |
from San Francisco.
The preliminary negotiations opened by i
Minister Low, and were well received by |
the Corean district Magistrate or Project |
having jurisdiction in the vicinity of the /
anchorage. There seemed every prospect
of speedy and amicable negotiation of the |
treaty sought as soon as communication /
with the Coresn chief Magistrate had I
been opened. While the Minister waited |
the no objection was offered to survey |
of the vicinity of the anchorage or of |
the entrance to Satier river. This Ad-
miral Rodgers was proceeding with when
two of Our surveying launches, which |
had been treacherously allowed to come
within range without warning, were fired
into and two of our seamen wounded.
The exemption from more serious loss is
only attributed to the bad gunnery of the
Coreans, and the fact that some of our
larger vessels were able to arrive in time
to drive the barbarian gunners from the
works. This occurred on the first of
June.
Minister Low Immediately demand of
the COrean officials with whom they
were IL communication an explanation of
the outrage. Ga consultation with Ad-
mtral Rogers, il was determined TO allow
ten days to pass before any movement
was made to resent the insult offered our
flag in order to allow the Corean authori-
ties an opportunity for q sufficient apology
or satisfactory explanation. Notice
was meanwhile given by Minister Low
that if amends were not offered himself
and Admiral R3gers, they should proceed
to obtain satisfaction for the wantOn
attempt at the destruction of our survey
ing party.
Details of the Fight-Other Nations
Interested.
NEW YORK, Aug. pa morning paper
has the following relative to the Coresn
t ouble: The story of the fight is very
simple. Ga the 10th of June 600 men
Landed on the island of Klonghis, and
with very little opposition captured ma
rine redout They then encamped for the
night Next morning they sternly made
their way through swamp, painfully
dragging heavy hOwitzers through the
mud q loot deep until they reached and
without resistance, took Fort Monocacy.
This land was broken up into little hilla,
and it was only with extreme difficulty
the guns were drawn over the ground at |
the last elbow, or as it is now christentd
Mckee in honor of the memory of Lieut..
Mckee. The Fort was gained. The
COreaDs made desperate resistance, and
cool courage which is one of
the few noble ira t. of sn Oriental driy yea
to bay, but their weapons were almost
harmless, ard with rush and cheer the
avengers of our murdered Countrymen |
over the works, ard the
almond eyed Barbsrians either fed or
Our death list in this brief but brilliant
is comparatively small, and
We have the satisfaction of knowing that
our men showed the spirit and pluck of |
American blood; but II looks now as if |
England and Prussia will have to take q
hand in this matter. Two Englishmen
and one German were seized and carried
off by the Coreans into the country. One
thing is certain, that if England does not
find out what has become of her subjects,
Germany will, ard that, after all, perhaps
some other nation will finish what Ameri-
lea has )mmenced.
