received the same treatment. An eS e-wlt-
ness has written with enthusiasm concern
ing the admirable equipment OF these hospi-
tails, of the devotion of the Japanese sur
geons, and of the excellence of the ambu-
lance corps and t.eld hospitals. The ampu-
tations and extracting of bullets were done
will skill and dexterity. The apparatus,
medicines, and instruments were of the
latest kind. Everywhere could be seen the
Red Cross ambulance on their errands of
mercy In all these things. which SO essen-
TALLY mitigate the horrors of war, the Chi
nese were absolutely deficient.
1.-THE spoils captured by the Japanese con
sisted of thirty four pieces of modern ar
tilIery, many Winchester and Martini rifles,
with large supply of ammunition, innum-
cradle battle-fags of all sorts, shapes. and
colors, about S2500G0 in treasure, and
enough rice to feed the victors for a fort
night.
1.-The city and forts were strewn with
quantities of matchlocks, modern rifles.
LANCES. SPEARS. BOWS, ARROWS,
old swords, and rattan shields-such were
the weapons with which China armed the
first force she put in the field. What must
the rest be?
MIXED with this odd lot of arms were
the blue uniforms of the Chinese and many
oeens cut Chinese heads. AS soon as
John Chinaman realized his defeat, and
that the terrible man from Japan was COM

donued the white clothing of the Koreans.

1.-The losses of the two armies will proba-

reported theirs as 1872 killed and 4S7 wound

1000 killed and wounded and 700 prisoners.
The later reports do not seem to contain

Until The battles of the Yalu Japan's po-
sition in Corea had been precarious. should
China defeat the Japanese fleet, the army
in Corea would be cut off, with the Chinese
fleet nut out of the way, the army IN Corea
under Yamogata could advance towards
Mukden confidently. Moreover, Japan
could send a second army to any point she
might choose on the coast OF China.
General Yamogata, the fleet holding Sc
curely the sea in his rear, felt free 10 con-
tinue to move northward toward Mukden.
On o ctober oath, we hear of his advance
crossing the Yalu above Wi-ju, and then of
successive Chinese defeats as The Japanese

SECOND PART OF JAPAN'S PLAN.
About the middle of October second
Japanese army leftHiroshima under Field
Marshal Oyama. The destination OF the
feet bearing this army was of course not
announced, but it was not difficult to
guess that the attack would be del1v-
cred against Port Arthur.
Port Arthur, the native name of which
is IIushun-Kou, had become the chief
naval station of the Chinese Empire.
Eleven or twelve years ago it was simply
good, wind bound harbor for the junks
that traded along the coast, carrying
tim Der from the Yalu river to ports in
the CULTS of Pechili and Liaotung, or
those of larger class from the south
ern route to Niuchwang and West Chin
chou. The port is almost surrounded
by ranges of hills, varying from three
hundred feet to fifteen hundred feet IN
height, the valleys between being well
cultivated. The town at the pres ent
| time has increased to nearly one thousand
houses and shops, and exclusive OF the
garrison, the population was recently es-
| minated at over six thousand.

but they very politely prevent the American
and European war correspondents from
accompanying their armies. 1t is by no
means improbable that the barbara les Of
the war are frightful, surprising anything
known in recent European and American
conflicts, and the Japanese would very nat
uralIy wish to keep stories of such things
from Western ears. -y0.
1t is eFen difficult, from the meagre re-
ports sent out, to understand the trend of
the general movements. But brief study
of the accompanying map, with short
sketch of the events tbet have transpired
SO far, will give to the readers of the
PRESS a good idea of what has. been and is
going on. "a

leave this army alone to confront the CHI
nese. An examination off the west coast
of Corea will show on the borders of the sea
of Japan the port of Won-sah, otherwise
known as Gen-san. To this port the Jap
anese sent 5000 men under General Sato.
They landed September l. and at once be-
gan to march inland in order to cut OF the
retreat of the Chinese force at ring-Yang.
By September Is, the Seoul army was
ready to attack the
CHINESE POSITIONS AT G-YANG.
Soto's army from the west coast was by
this time in position with the other army.
An officer of the United States Navy. E..
B. Rogers. has written to Harper's Weekly
an interesting account of this battle and
its results:
cat daybreak Oshima's division opened
the battle with artillery on the three forts
located near the river, and held By 50u9 Chi
nese. The fight here lasted until three In
the afternoon, when the Chinese fed. BY
two the Chang -hwa column tthe centred had
taken all the forts on the east of Phyong
Yang. The other two divisions attacked
the city from their respective positions.
At four o'clock the white flag was raised on
the walls, and the Chinese general prom
ised to surrender at sunrise next day.
General Nodzu, command er-in-chief of the
army Count Yamagata was not present at
all during the battle consented, on this
understanding, to cessation of hostilities.
Asp. M. the whole Chinese army made
a sortie, but were driven back by the Japa-
nese left flank, and at the same time the
Chinese cavalry was thrown against oato's
division. The slaughter was great, out most
of the Chinese managed to escaped.
