ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR CHINA.


Japanese Cross the Yalu River and Arc
Now Engaged In Battle.
TOXIC, Oct. 2e.-Field Marshal Count
Yamagats has autographed to the war Of.
flee that a detachment Of 1000 Japanese
infantry crossed the Yalu river on Wed.
nesday morning and attacked the enemy.
The Chinese force consisted of 600 cavalry
and 100 infantry, with two guns. The en-
envy fled. The Japanese captured Chinese
fort, the two guns and many rifles. The
chinese loss was twenty killed and
wounded. The Japanese sustained no
loss. The dispatch adds that the Japanese
advance columns are marching upon Lish-
iyen.
A dispatch dated Wi Ju, Oct. "a, appar.
emily delayed In transmission, was re-
ceived here last evening, giving details Of
the above fight. 1t says that the Japanese
were ferried over the Yalu river at SUI
kochin at daybreak. Chinese earthworks
had been thrown up to oppose the landing
OF the Japanese force, but q slight devia-
ton enabled the Japanese to cross the
river and land without opposition. The
Chinese fed after the first few rounds
were fired at them. The Japanese cap.
tured the works with rush. The Chinese
fled to batteries that had been constructed
lower down the river, throwing away their
arms in their flight. These were found to
be antiquated muskets.
The advanced detachment now holds the
Sukochin ferry to guard the passage Of the
Japanese main body, the advance Of which
began at dawn yesterday. The Japanese
engineers had pontoons thrown across the
river in readiness for the army to pass over.
Later advices from the front show that
the Japanese army crossed the river with.
out further opposition and Immediately
