san FnAYctsco, Nov. lS.-The steamer
Peru arrived tonight bringing the fol-
lowing advices to the Associated Press:
YOKOHAMA, Oct. 3O.-Genoral 0yama's
army left Japan October is. The num-
Der OF troops was estimated at a little
more than 10000. A considerable part
oil tho force was put on shore at point
supposed to bo some thirty miles north
Of Port Arthur and little north Of tho
fortified town OF LauG-Caao or Chen
Chiri, on the opposite coast The feet
under Admiral Ito moved simultaneous
ly upon the stations at Port Arthur and
Taienwau. The purpose was to hem in
all the Chinese garrisons in the southern
part Of Linu Tung and compel their sur
render as well US that OF Admiral Tings
squadron. The native troops defending
these positions were believed not to ex-
ceed 5000 in number.
RESISTANCE VERY PEBBLE.
General Yamagata's army has signal
lied its advance into Manchuria by the
seizure OF the walled town OF Kewleen,
or Chieu Lien. The attack was 80
fcebly met that the encounter could
hardly bo called battle. The crossing
oil the YaIu river was completed on the
morning OF October % and was followed
by succession OF skirmishes. in which
tho Japanese lost seventy killed and
wounded.
Kewleen fell October &c. Tho do
Tending force was estimated variously
ut from 10000 to 10000, all Of which ran
away before the first assault. The Jap
ancse casualties were about twenty
killed and eighty wounded. OF the
Chinese, 200 were reported killed. The
spOils were Of great value, including
thirty large cannons, Thousands OF small
arms, abundant ammunition, 300 tents
and quantities Of provisions and fodder.
Advices from Tien Tsin announce that
the Chinese have received from the
Hong Kong bank loan Of 100000
taels at 10 per cent. With this money
several ships of Chile's navy are to be
purchased, if the present intontion 10
carried out.
The exodus OF foreigners from Pekin
continues. The British minister has
peremptorily ordered his countrymen
TO leave, aud ifany aliens remain 1t will
be without the sanction OF their diplo'
matte representatives who do not un-
dertake to guarantee their safety.
WOUNDED RRCElvE NO ASSISTANCE.
English newspapers in China state
positively that the wounded who re-
turned to Port Arthur from the battle
off Taio.Kao-Tsan have received abso-
lutey no assistance. One doctor in
Tien Tsin was telegraphed for on the
arrival OF the ships, and, though he sig.
nitied his willingness TO start at once,
the authorities refused to provide the
medicine and appliances which he re-
Quired. As without these his services
would be Of no avail, he did not go.
Several American newspapers ex-
press the opinion that the proposed
treaty between the United States and
Japan is delayed by the unwillingness
OF tho labor party to agree to restrict-
ions upon tho immigration OF her sub
iects. This is an error. Few Japanese
show any disposition to leave their
native land.
There is no likelihood that any con.
siderable number of Japanese will seek
home in America. but, il tho United
States authorities desire to introduce
restriction clause in tho treaty, Japan
will make no opposition to any reasona-
Bile provision.
A severe earthquake occurred in the
northern provinces of the main island
Of Japan OH October 90 Several vio-
lent shocks followed one another in
quick succession for thirty minutes.
Many hundreds OF houses were thrown
down or consumed by fire and moro
than three hundred persons were
killed. The town Of Sakata was almost
entirely destroyed. An eruption Of
Mount Chokai, volcano in the dis
turbed district, and supposed to be OK
tinCt, ia also reported'
