STORY OF THE FIGHT. r.e
An Account of it Is Issued by the Jap. ~ V
 Government. VI

Yokohama. Aug. 1.-The Japanese government has issued the following ae- count of the engagement between the Chinese and Japanese warships:
 The Chinese cruisers, the chihu Yuen and the Kuani. were observed steaming from Kasan. and transport carrying Chinese soldiers conveyed by the Chi nese warship Tsao-Kiang was seen coming from Tolio toward Kasan. The Japanese cruisers Yoshiuo and Naniwa met the Chinese warships near Pantao Island. The Chinese did not salute. but made warlike preparations, In order to get out of the narrow waters in which they were situated the Japanese cruis- CTS put to sea, whereupon the Tsao- Kiang pursued the Naniwa. The Nan iva thereupon put about and steamed toward the two Japanese ships. The Chihu- Yuen and the Kuanii. however. retreated and the Chihu-Yuen hoisted the white flag above the Japanese naval ensign. The Naniwa consequently de- layed firing upon the warship and then the transport crossed the bow of the Naniwa. The latter fired blank shot and signalled the transport to stop.
 In the meantime the Chihu-Yuen had approached under the Naniwa's stern and when within distance of about 300 metres she fired torpedo. which missed the Japanese warship. The Naniwa then opened fire upon the Chihu-Yuen, and the Yoshino joined in the action. The Chihu- -Yuen finally fled and was pursued.
 The Chinaman was not overtaken. The second Chinese warship, the Kuanii, had in the meantime been engaged with the Japanese cruiser Akituisui, but like the Chihu-Yuen she finally fled and took refuge between the shore and a shoal. The transport carried six guns mad had HOO soldiers on board. The captain of the transport surrendered. but the soldiers on board of her refused to do so and resisted capture. The Naniwa was ultimately obliged to open fire upon the transport and sink her. The captain and others were rescued by the boats of the Naniwa.
 It was afterward discovered that the transport was a British steamer, the Row Shiang. The boat had aboard four chiefs of battalion and fifteen colonels of the Chinese army in addition to the soldiers referred to. The Japanese gov ernment as soon as 1t was informed of the sinking of the British ship express ed its regrets, declaring to the British charge d'affaires that if after an in quiry had been made Japan was shown to be in the wrong the Japanese gov ernment was prepared to make full reparation for the loss sustained. l,
 The naval engagement Of July 25 should not be confounded with the bat tie fought on July 30, nor should the Chihu- Yuen, Chinese unarmored ship of 2,3o0 tons, in the first encounter, be confounded with the Chinese armored battleship Chen-Yuen, 7,500 tons, report ed sunk in the second engagement.
