suffering from plunder and devastation

JAPANESE VICTORIES.
Cinnamon Fleeing Before Their
Conquerors.
MARCHING ONWARD TO MoUKDEN.

While the Reported Capture of Port Ar
thur Is Unconfirmed, Other Japanese
Successes Show That Their Adversaries
Are Rapidly Weakening.
YOKOHAMA, Nov. 5.-Advices received
here from the front show that there has
been heavy fighting in the country just
north of Port Arthur. The dispatches re-
ceived are brief and are silent on some
points. 1t appears that Field Marshal
Oyema divided his forces. While one di-
vision landed on the east coast of the
peninsula north of Talienwan, another
division was detached with orders to effect
landing near Kinchow, and to proceed
thence and Join the main body of the
army. This operation was a complete
success. The Japanese encountered no
Chinese warships, and the transports
reached Kayenko and disembarked troops,
guns, horses and munitions in safety.
Kinchow, which is walled town and
which was believed to be held by large
GARRISON, was Immediately attacked The
outer defenses were carried by the Japan
ese after few hours fighting, The Chinese
made little further resistance, and tho
Japanese were soon masters of the place.
In the meantime the Japanese fleet
which had conveyed the transports opened
heavy fire on Talienwan and Kakuyon
Kayenko). The firing scarcely ceased for
many hours Covered by the fire from the
ships the land force attacked and captured
Talienwan in brilliant fashion. The
dispatches state that the losses were heavy.
They also mention that an Important naval
engagement occurred Saturday but give
no details. Up to the time Of sending this
dispatch there has been no confirmation
of the reported capture of Port Arthur.
Field Marshal Yamagata's army con-
tinues its victorious march, The division
under General Tatsulni pushed forward
and captured Fung Wang Ching, as al
ready cabled to the Associated Press. The
enemy was scattered and fled In tho direc-
tion of Takusan, Kaijoa and Hotenfu. No
fighting is mentioned as having occurred
at Fung Wang Ching, but it is alleged
that 800 Chinese were killed at Taikai.
Field Marshal Yamagata's official dis
patch says that the detachment under
General Tatsumi has occupied Fung
Wang Ching, fort which ranks in i'm
portance next to Moukden. The principal
portion of the Chinese army fled towards
Moukden and the remainder in the direo-
tion of Haicheng and Takusan.
The Chinese inhabitants who have been
plundered by the Chinese soldiers wei
coined the Japanese army. The Japanese
captures up to the present are fifty five
cannon, 1,500 small arms 10000 rounds Of
artillery ammunition, $500, 900 rounds for
small arms and quantity OF other ma

AGREES WITH MAHAN.
ADMIRAL Gherardi Considers Small Cruis.
ers Preferable to BsttIeships.

ers Preferable To Bsttleships.
WASHINGTON, d. c., September o.
Speaking OF the Japanese-Chinese naval
fight. Rear Admiral Gherardi, of the
United States Navy, said "hugging the
shore" was the Chinese mistake and was
directly opposed to Captain Mahan's
fundamental principle. From all he
read of the facts and being a believer in
Captain Mahsn's sound Judgment and
great naval skill, he was with the cap
tain in this opinion thai the evil OF land
hugging had caused the inevitable re-
suits, which in this case had proved
most disastrous. Considering the
places on Barbettes, it was natural
That dire consequences resulted
from the attack upon the Chen Yuen.
A great mistake, he thought, might
have been made in having in that YES
sci the barbette instead of having the
guns IL echelon, which would have
saved a gunship from being reduced to
the level of a small cruiser.
Admiral Gherardi agrees with Captain
Mahan that small cruisers are more
effectual than big battleships, and as
illustrating this had noted how much
better the smaller ships had Jared than
their larger colleagues. In conclusion,
the Rear Admiral again remarked:
Yes, II Is quite true the praises of one
of our navy commanders have been
again loudly sung in London, but not
for the first time for undeservedly
either"
