Admiral Carpenters Version of the Naval
Fight at the Mouth of the yaIu.

S"A = HtHStOh Vi ~ NdNdl
Fight at the Mouth of the YaIu.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The secre-
tary of the navy has received two
cablegrams from Admiral Carpenter,
commanding the Asiatic station, both
dated Tien-Tsin, September 81. The
first says:
Chinese routed, Ping Yang, 18th.
Sixteen thousand killed or wounded.
Viceroy lost feather and jacket under
edict prior to recent defeat"
The second one, which is regarded as.
very important as it is the first official
dispatch from a naval source, is as fol-
lows:
Naval engagement, Yalu, 18th. Chi
nese loss: C%haotong, Ching Yuen and
Chin Yuen sunk; Yang Wei on shore
partly burned; Chin Yuen vanished
during fight, probably sunk. Re-
ported japanese loss. three"
The cablegrams were unsigned, and
as Admiral Carpenter is the only officer
in the east authorized to send unsigned
messages, no doubt is entertained that
he sent them. Confidence is also ex-
pressed at the navy department that
he has fully verified his statements as
to the Chinese losses, probably by per-
sonal observation, as his flagship, Mo-
nocacy, is the emily vessel of the fleet
on the Chinese coast, the others being
in Corean or Japanese ports.
The naval intelligence bureau ex-
presses the conviction that no Chinese
armored vessels have been lost, as all
the ships mentioned in the dispatch
are small unarmored cruisers.
