they have no ammunition, being cut AZ

the Chinese troops have evacuated Corpa

thirty miles westward of the Yalu river
1t is stated that the numerous desertioDs
from the Chinese army of late is because
of the faulty condition OF the arms and
ammunition supplied to the troops. An.

North Channel in order to evade the
guard boats struck a torpedo, and was
blown to pieces. Several men were
drowned.
JAPAN's NEXT MOVE.
LONDON, September 30.-The Times
publishes this morning an article by an
expert, in which the writer compares
and collates the Times advices from Chez
Foo and the Central News dispatches
from Toxic. The writer concludes that
it may be safely affirmed that modern
weapons have not materially modified
the conditions of naval warfare, and he
adds
"Japan's next movement is now
question of the greatest importance
China's fleet is virtually parayzed, and
the Japanese are free to transport force
in any direction. There are two prime
pal courses for them to pursue-to striSs
direct for Picking or to occupy Formoa
Either course is more probable than
march to Moukden. 1t seems certain
that %, 600 Japanese could take Picking,
when Japan could obtain, so far as China
is concerned, any terms she is likely to
demand. On the other hand, the time
available is very short owing to the ap'
proach OF winter, and the venture,
though not practicable, would be very
risky. A force of 10000 would suffice to
occupy Formosa, and descent upon the
place is certainly among the immediate
possibilities. Japan seeks territorialex'
pansion, and Formosa offers obvious sd-
vantages."

Japanese have succeeded in entering
