dispatch received here from Shanp.
hal to-day says that advces received
here from various sources say that the
Chinese army in Northern Corea is in q
deplorable condition.
The Chinese generals are reported to
have proved themselves to be grossly
incompetent, and the officers of lower
grades are disconnected and disheart-
ened while the rank and file of the
Chinese army arc exhausted and desper-
ate. What roads there were in that
portion of the country month ago. have
been washed away by the floods and
consequently ii is impossible to trans
port guns, ammunition and food through
Manichura into Corea for the Chinese
army. Quantities of guns, ammunition
and food previously sent southwark have
been blocked in different parts of the
country by the bad state Of the roads.
