Shanghai, July 3O.-Further details of
the naval engagement have reached here.
The fighting, though of short duration,
was very severe. One Of the Japanese
warships got within short distance Of
the transport Kow Shing and discharged
a torpedo ut Ter. The missile struck the
transport fairly and ttrrific explosion
followed, and the Kow Shing began at
once to fill.
Prior to the discharge of the torpedo
the crew of the transport, which was
armed and the military force on board
of her, made hard fight against the
attacking force. Many of those on board
Of her were shot dead on deck. When the
vessel began to sink there was great ex-
element on board of her. In the dire
confusion that prevailed no attempt was
made to lower the small boats. But
even had such ar attempt been made the
boats could only have carried a small
percentage Of those OF board. Every
foreigner on board the transport, which
had been chartered by the Chinese gov
eminent from an English company, was
either killed in the fighting OF went dcwn
with the vessel. ~ s445
The loss of life was very great. Of
nearly Z,OUO sChlneSe troops on BOARD OF

TROUBLE FOR .JAPS.
England May Call the Japanese
Down, --.-.

London, July 3l.-The news that the
Kow Shung was flying the British flag
was received with great satisfaction at
the Chinese legation, where it was pre-
dicted that the sinking of the steamer
by a Japanese cruiser would give IN en-
tirely fresh turn to the Corean affairs
1t was said that Great Britain and Ger
many were bound to notice this breach
Of neutrality. The Globe takes a similar
view of the case, and says: Japan had
no excuse for firing on the English flag.
War was not declared, and the carrying
of troops was in no way breach of
neutrality "
Shanghai, July 31.-The following is
the latest Chinese version of the sinking
of the troop ship Kow Shung, chartered
by China from the Chinese Merchants
Trading and Steamship company:
When the Kow Shung was overhauled
by the Japanese cruiser the latter sent a
boat alongside the transport with a prize
crew to convey her to Japan. The jap
anese boarded the Kow Shung and or
dered the commander, Capt. Galesvorthy,
an Englishman, to proceed to Japan.
The captain refused and the Japanese
withdrew to report to the commander of
their cruiser. The latter then opened
fire upon the transport, using the ma
chine guns mounted in the tops of the
Japanese warship. The fire was so well
directed that it soon cleared the kow
Shung's decks. The cruiser then dis
charged two to1pedoes at the transport,
sinking her and drowning nearly all on
board, about 1000 souls.
