of second victory OF the Japane Sc
army under Marshal Yamagata. The

command iii the Chinese army. The
Japanese legation has received its first
| mail Of Japanese newspapers since the
battle of Yalu and Ping. Yang, and
they are filled with the details of the
engagements, lists of killed and wound
ed, accounts of herOism and other evi.
dences of war. The bad tactical meth-
DDS of the Chinese soldiers excite the
derision of the Japanese. The latter
point out that the Chinese erect breast
works and then sit quietly within them,
without throwing out skirmishers to
harass the enemy. The Chinese soldiers
also raise number of banners just as
they fire yolley, so that the Japanese
troops always know when a shower of
lead is impending. The Chinese also
exhaust their cartridges in the maga-
zine guns as fast as they can fire them,
making hail of bullets and then a
long calm. The rifles captured from the
Chinese show

and other careless treatment. A touch
ing story is told of japanese bugler,
who had just sounded the "charge"
when he received bullet In the breast.
He was urged to lay aside his bugle, as
any fresh eXertion would make hem
orrhage, ptoving fatal. His reply was
another blast OF the "charge" as he
toppled over. The members of the Jap
anese house of peers have sent half a
million cigarettes to the Japanese sol.
diers. The leading te a merchant Of
Japan has presented the war Office with
LOCO chests of tea. Snow fell in Japan
on Sept. %, which is the earliest in ten
years. The cold weather may put a
stop to the campaign until spring. The
japanese press go to extremes in their
demands for indemnity from China.
One OF them says China must pay

Ten Times The Cost
of the war. and must agree to let Japan
ese troops be stationed throughout
China hereafter. A Toxic paper states
that prior to Chinese naval inspection
by Lii Hung Chang. the men manu-
factured cannon balls out of clay,
painted them black and passed inspec-
ton with this bogus equipment.
Yokohama paper prints portions or the
poetical tariff speech of Representative
Brossius, of Pen nsylvania. Large
coal merchats of Japan are charged
with secretly furnishing coal sup
plies to the Chinese navy. The
gold ingots and coin captured by the
Japanese at Ping-Yang amount to 7OO.-
coo yen. Count Oyema. war minis ter,
has issued proclamation urging troops
to show every kindness to Chinese
wounded, adding that they "should not
be more anxious to display carnage
than charity" The Japanese naval
experts say that torpedo boats proved to
be failure at the Yalu naval battle.
