IN A MISERABLE PLIGHT.
Chinese Forces in Corea Must Soon
Surrender.

Washington, Sept 19.-The confirma-
tory news received today by Secretary
GRESHAM of the defeat of the Chinese
by land and sea with the further notice
that telegraphic communication be-
tween Peldn and Corea had peeh cue
off by the japanese, is taken here as an
evidence that the Chinese forces are IN
a miserable plight. The small remnant
of an army in Corea is cut or from re-
enforcement by sea, as a result OF the
defeat of the Chinese feet at the mouth
of the Yalu river; they cannot commu-
nicate with their own government by
wire. and as their escape from the Co
rean peninsula by the northern over
land route is prevented by the seizure
of the mountain passes by the Japan
csc, their surrender appears to be in
evitable.
The japanese, therefore, are now in
force on the border and coast of their
enemy, and an early transfer of the
scene of war from Corea TO China is
looked for by army officers. unless the
movement should be prevented by the
early advent Of winter.
The military experts believe that as
soon as the remaining Chinese troops IN
Corea have surrendered, the Chinese
will transport the main body of their
troops by sea from Ping Yang TO the
Manchurian coast, and, making a rapid
advance on Mukden, the capital of the
province, will soon be in position to
organize a campaign on Picking itself.
1t is believed here that the Chinese
forces are almost demoralized and that
the only obstacle to the triumphant
campaign of the japanese, apart from
the inclement weather of northern Chi
ma, is to be looked for in tie interfer-
ence of the great powers.
There is reason to believe the feeling
is growing in Europe that the war bids
fair to go beyond bounds unless some
influence is brought to bear to check it,
and some nations having large inter
ests in China have taken the alarm al
ready. They fear the result on their
own interest of so overwhelming vic
tory by Japan that must be followed by
the domination of the Japanese inter
ests. and animated by commercial ter
ritorial jealousy they are seeking a
way to terminate the war.

reached. Then a fleet of warships was
reported to be IN sight and bearing
down upon the Chinese squadron. Sig
nails were hoisted on the Chinese
to make all possible speed
for place of safety. Signals were also
lset for the Chinese feet to clear for ac-
ltion. This order was promptly obeyed.
In the meantime, the Japanese squad
ron was coming UP rapidly, making d.
rect for the Chinese vessels. The trans
lports had run in towards shore and
hurried preparations were made to send
the troops ashore. Many of them were
Handed before the battle commenced.
The Chun Tuen, one Of the most pow
lerful vessels in the navy, fired shot
lat the Japanese as soon as the latter
lcame in range OF her guns. The fire
was promptly returned and soon the
Chen Yuen was holly engaged with two
large Japanese cruisers, one-of which is
Isaid to have been the Chiyoda.
The other Japanese vessels got into
the positions they desired, and the fight
then became general For six hours the
battle waged furiously, the deep boom
Of the great guns commingling with the
sharp reports Of the rifles. Nearly all
the vessels on both sides were engaged
for the whole six hours.
The splendid cruiser Chin Yuen took
"a prominent part in the engagement.
Her Krupp and Armstrong guns were
well served and she poured a hot and
well sustained fire from her auxiliary
batteries. One of the Japanese vessels
discharged a torpedo at her. The mis-
isle sped well from its tube and struck
the Chin Yuen fairly. When it ex-
Iploded it was apparent that it had
done great damage, for the Chih Yuen
began almost Immediately to settle.
Her crew.. however, stuck to their guns
and delivered some effective shots be-
fore the vessel sank.
The belted cruiser King Yuen met a
similar fate. being struck with a tor
pedo. and sinking shortly afterward.
Many of the crew of both vessels went
down while standing at close quarters.
IOnly a few on board were saved and
lit is reported 600 officers and men were
drowned by the laundering of the two
vessels
After the Chin Yuen (not Chin Yuen)
and King Yuen had gone down the
lcruiser Yang Wei and Chao Yung ran
aground while maneuvering for posi-
ton. Theye were helpless and a de-
structive fire was poured into them
from the big guns of the Japanese.
Some of the japanese warships devo-
ted themsel' IS { time to the trans
ports. which had not time TO get out
of range. 1t is believed several of the
transports were sunk, including one
from which the troops had not been
landed. 1t is estimated the total Chin
csc loss in killed and wounded is 1900.
1t is reported the Japanese loss was
1000 killed and wounded.
Up to the time of sending the dis
patch it was impossible to learn the
names of the Japanese vessels that the
Chinese allege were destroyed in the
|engagement

pears, was covering the landing OF a

London, Sept. ia dispatch to the
Times from Tien Tsin today says the
hostile fleets met yesterday at the
mouth of the Yalu river, where the
Chinese were disembarking troops. The
Japanese fleet commenced the attack
at noon and the battle lasted until
y. m. The Chinese lost five ships. The
Chen Yuen was sunk. the Kiang Yuen
was burned and the Chao Yuen and
Yang Wei were stranded and partly
burned. The Chin Yuen, the Chinese
vessel which was engaged in the fight
of july q, escaped and is supposed to
he safe.
The dispatch to the Times also agrees
in saying that the Japanese are sup
posed to have lost three ships. and it

Two Chinese Vessels Go Down With
Six Hundred Men.


London, Sept. ia dispatch fled at
Shanghai 81 midnight says that the
Chinese clam that they defeated the
japanese fleet. It is added, however,
that this claim is not entirely endorsed
by the correspondent at Port Arthur,
which lies across the Gulf of Corea
from the scene of the engagement He
says he has seen some of the officers
who took part in the battle. and that
they evidently did not believe their
feet had been victorious. Some half a
dozen Japanese warships put into Port
Arthur All We're badly damaged and
full of wounded. men. 1t will require
considerable time to make the vessels
serviceable.
The Chinese northern squadron, under
the command of Admiral Ting, left
Port Arthur last Friday night, having
under convoy seven transports. All
the troops on board the transports were
7Iuananese, most of them infantry.
There were also number of artillery
men. with their batteries on board.
Several Europeans accompanied the
fleet The object of the expedition was
to land the troops near Win, whence
they were to be sent to the front.
Nothing was seen Of the enemy until
the mouth Of the Yalu river was
