Each Sides Claims Necessarily Cause
Such to be the Case.
YOKOHAMA, October 27.-It is reas-
serted that the army corp under Field
Marshal Count Oyama, formerly Min
lister OF War, has effected landing at
Seikiosso near Port Arthur. It is also
again asserted that the Japanese army
under Field Marshal Yamagata has sue
cesslully crossed the Ialu river and en-
tered Manchuria. 1t was announced
September 26 that Field Marshal Count
Oyama sailed from Hiroshima with the
second Japanese squadron. Since then
it has been repeatedly asserted that the
Japanese had effected landing near
Port Arthur, and it has been stated a
report was current that this important
place had been captured by the Japan
ese. On the other hand, the Japanese
have several times been reported as hay
ing crossed the Yalu river, and also as
having been repulsed For instance Oc-
tober a Shanghai dispatch stated that
Field Marshal Ovama had crossed the
Yalu river, and the last time he was re-
ported repulsed was October %, when it
was asserted that both sides lost 5000
men IN an engagement, which resulted
in the Japanese being driven southwark.
Ii the japanese have been SO uniformly
successful in their operations against the
Chinese, it is difficult to understand how
they have SO many of their soldiers
wounded and already sent to the rear.
A dispatch from Chemulpo, October %,
announced that l 800 wounded Japanese
had arrived there. 1t is asserted there
was a large number of japanese wounded
at Seoul, and it is stated 200 wounded
japanese soldiers had already been sent
back to that country. Surprising large
number to mean another 1000, this
would show that the whereabouts of
about 5000 wounded are already known
at Chemulpo, and it is safe to assume
this number does not include those en-
gagged In the recent fights said to have
occurred about the Yalu river.

The Chinese Fled to Batteries Con-
structed Farther Down the River.
LONDON, October pa dispatch from
Toxic, dated to-day, states that fIeid
Marshal Count Yamagata has tele-
graphed to the war office that detach-
ment OF 900 japanese infantry crossed
the Yalu river Wednesday morning and
attacked the enemy. The Chinese force
consisted of 600 cavalry and 100 infantry
with two guns. The enemy fled. The
Japanese captured Chinese fort, two
guns and many rifles. The Chinese loss
was twenty killed and wounded. The
Japanese sustained no loss. The Japan
csc advance columns are marching on
Lishi Yen. A dispatch, dated Wiju,
October "a, apparently delayed in trans
mission, was received, giving details OF
the above fight. 1t says that the Jap
anese were forded over the Yalu river at
Suachikin at daybreak. Chinese earth
works had been thrown up TO oppose the
landing of the japanese forces, but the
slight deviation enabled the Japanese
force to cross, and it landed without OPP
position. The Chinese fled after the
first few rounds were fired at them.
The japanese captured the works with
a rush. The Chinese fled to batteries
that had been constructed farther down
the river, throwing away their arms in
their flight. They were found to be
antiquated muskets. A detachment
holds the Suachikin fort to guard the
passage OF the japanese main body, the
advance of which was commenced at
dawn Thursday. The Japanese engl-
neers have pontoons thrown across the
river in readiness for the army to pass
over. The Chinese are still in force in
the batteries opposite Win. Their
strength has not materially increased
during the past week. The main attack
upon the Chinese position will not occur
before tomorrow.
PORT ARTHUR EVACUATED.
SHANGHAI, October 27.-It is reported
here that the Chinese have evacuated
Port Arthur. A report is also current
that the Japanese have effected a land
ing at fallen Wau Bay, on the Corean
side OF Kwang Tung Peninsula, not far
from Port Arthur.
REPORT NOT CONFIRMED.
LONDON, October 27.-The japanese
legation has no confirmation of the re-
port that the japanese army under Field
Marshal Count Oyama has landed near
Port Arthur, but the report is credited
nevertheless. The officials of the lega-
ton regard it as certain that the expedi-
tion of Oyama was sent to attack Port
Arthur or Wei Hal Wei, or both.
AN OFFICIAL REPORT.
SHANGHAI, October 27.-An official
telegram reports that battle took place
Wednesday between the Chinese and
Japanese on the Chinese side of the

fail to draw. After they are rolled they
are treated with parafin to render them
water tight and nonabsorbent. The same
patent covers mouthpieces for cigarettes,
