and Japan.
The Chinese ships were escorting
troops bound for Corea. The troops were
the Second Army Corps. composed en-
tirely of Huanese.
According to the Chinese version,
there was no thought of surrender on
either side. The ships Of both nations,
1t Is admitted, were terribly damaged.
The Japanese had the advantage of the
weather berth.
The Chinese fleet lacked room for
manoeuvering.
The Chen-Yuen, these dispatches say.
after fighting her guns to the last, was
sunk by torpedoes. and a smaller Chi
nese vessel, which was unarmed, was
blown up.

noon, and the battle lasted until p. M.
The Chinese lost four ships. The Chen
Yuen was sunk. the King-Yuen was

agrees in saying that the Japanese are
supposed to have lost three ships, and II
adds that many Chinese were killed and
wounded, among the injured being Ad-
miral Ting. Col Won Hannekin and Capt
Tyler the two latter being foreign vol
