Trial of Strength Between Japanese ano
Chinese War Vessels-Several Chinese
Ships Reported Sunk.
LONDON, Sept. 20.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Shanghai confirm the
report of a severe battle fought on the
Value river between the fleets of China
and Japan. These dispatches also agree
in saying that the Chinese ships were
escorting troops bound for C0rea. The
battle was fought on the bay at the
mouth of the Value river. The Chi
uese troops were in the Second
army corps. composed entirely of Hua-
uese. According to Chinese version,
there was no thought of surrender on
either side. The ships of both nations.
it is admitted, were terribly damaged.
The japanese had the advantage of the
weather and so maneuvered that both
the Chinese boats and transports had
to fight it out.
The Chen Yuen, these dispatches say,
after fighting her guns to the last, was
sunk by torpedoes, and smaller
Chinese vessel which was unarmed,
was blown up. The steel cruiser Chao
Yung. it is added. was so damaged that
she had to be beached to escape capture
The Chinese Yang Hei was also driven
ashore and has become a hopeless
wreck. The Chinese claim that three
Japanese warships were sunk-their
names are not given in these dispatches.
The news of the naval battle has
created intense excitement.
bar IiC1,o tol f,.c,1 Shon a. n n
says that the Chinese warship sunk
was the Chi Yuen, although it is be-
lieved that mistake has been made.
and that the important Chinese war
ship sunk by torpedOes is the battle
ship Chen Yuen, the flagship of the
Chinese northern squadron, com
manded by Adm. Ting.
Further dispatches from Shanghai
dated yesterday announce that in the
naval battle off the Yaule river the
entire Northern fleet of China was en-
gagged. reinforced by some ships Of the
Foo Chow squadron. The Chinese are
said to have been hampered by want
of room to 1naneuver. The number OF
Japanese warShips is not stated and
many of their vessels were stationed
off Ping Yang inlet at the mouth of
the Ia Tong river. Their number in
the Gulf of COrea was probably small
The Shanghai adviceS say that it is
significant that two or three Chinese
transports which were conveyed by
the warships of China have not re
turned and it is rumored that they
were all blown up, with the loss of al
hands on board. From Chinese garri
sons it is gathered that the loss or
both sides in the naval engagement
will reach several thousand

POULTRY POINTS.

AS SOON as the old hens can be spared

sold. This ought to be done before thu
hens begin molting.
IF disease appears and obstinately re
sists remedies, it is better to begin with
new stock than to breed from thoss

MARX the pullets that you want to

they are. Then there will be no dan
ger of their being sold or eaten by mis-
take.
THE hens should always have some
where to dust. 1t will aid them to rid
themselves of lice. If a spoonful OF in
