Admiral Carpenters Version of the Naval
Fight at the Mouth OF the YaIu.

Admiral Carpenters Version of the Naval
Fight at the Mouth of the YaIu.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The secre-
tary of the navy has received two
cablegrams from Admiral Carpenter,
commanding the Asiatic station, both
dated Tien-Tsin, September 81. The
first says:
"Chinese routed, Ping Yang, 18th.
Viceroy lost feather and jacket under
edict prior to recent defeat"
The second one, which is regarded as
very important as it is the first official
dispatch from naval source, is as fol-
lows:
''Naval engagement, Yalu, nth. Chi
nese loss: Chaotong. Ching Yuen and
Chin Yuen sunk; Yang Wei on shore
partly burned; Chin Yuen vanished
during fight, probably sunk. Re-
ported Japanese loss. three"
The cablegrams were unsigned, and
as Admiral Carpenter is the only officer
in the east authorized to send unsigned
messages, no doubt is enterta aimed that
he sent them. Confidence is also ex.
pressed at the navy department that
he has fully verified his statements as
to the Chinese losses, probably by per-
sonal observation, us his flagship, Mo-
nocacy, is the emily vessel of the fleet
on the Chinese coast, the others being
in Corean or Japanese ports.
The naval intelligence bureau ex-
presses the conviction that no Chinese
armored vessels have been lost. as ali
the ships mentioned in the dispatch
are small unarmored cruisers.

Summary Demolished the Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Sept. ea.-Secretary
Gresham has summarily demolished
the scheme, recently mentioned in
these dispatches, to make the bureau
of American republics self-supporting
by the insertion of paid advertising in
its publications. AS soon as the secre-
tary returned from his vacation and
heard the nature of the plan he called
Mr.. Kurdish and directed him to sus-
pend operations at once in regard to
the solicitation of advertisements for
the bureau publications and to cancel
all the contracts made.
The practice of selling the bureau
hand books instead of furnishing them
for gratuitous distribution, which
formed part of the new regime, is not
included in the secre tary's vacating
order and it is presumed will be con-
tinued.
