WERE NOT ALL CHINESE.

| Several Germans Wsro Drowned or KILL
ed by the Japanese War ship-Men Shot
While struggling in the Water - No
Mercy shown.
SHANGHAI. July 30.-The following
! Is the latest Chinese version Of the sink
| ing Of the troop ship Kow Shung, char
tered by China from the China Mer-
chants Trading and Steamship Co.:
When the kow Shung was overhauled
| by the Japenese cruiser, the latter sent
a boat alongside the transport, with a
prize crew 10 convey her TO Japan.
The Japanese boarded the Kow Shung
and ordered her captain, an English
! man, 10 proceed TO japan. Captain
Galsworthy refused to obey this order
aud the Japanese withdrew 10 report'to
the commander Of their cruiser, The
latter then opened fire upon the trans
port, using the machine guns mounted
in the tops of the japanese ship. This
fire was so well directed that it
soon cleared the kow Shungs
decks. The cruiser then discharged
two torpedoes at the transports, sink
ing her and drowing nearly ali of
ABOUT TWO thousand souls on board.
Colonel Van Ham, German, formerly
the vlcerOys alde-de-camp, and mum
Der of other foreign officers were
among those killed by the fire from the
tops of the cruiser before the torpedoes
were discharged. The effect OF the ex-
Dlosion OF the torpedoes is said TO have
been terrific. Gaping holes large
enough to pull boat through
were torn in the steamers
side and through these apertures
the water poured, drowning between
decks those who did not leap overboar
According to the reports received here
two German passengers who were on
their way 10 Corea, in order TO settle up
business affairs before the war broke
out in earnest, jumped overheard when
the transport began 10 sink and succeed
ed in swimming TO the japanese cruiser.
But, in spite OF their appeals TO be taken
on board and their announcement that
they were non-com batants, the two
Germans were shot by the Japanese
marines. A number of Chinese W no
swan to the cruiser shared the same
fate. The japanese absolutely refused
to give quarter.
A French warship, the Lion, steamed
10 as the transport sank and succeeded
in rescuing some Of the unfortunate
Chinese soldiers, but all the foreigners
are reported To have been killed on
board the Kow Shung, while returning
the fire of the japanese, or else they
were drowned by the sinking OF the
transport No details have been re-
ceived of the battle which is said TO
have taken place at Asan between the
Chinese and Japanese forces. 1t is
reported that several Chinese steamers
have been captured aud number OF
Others destroyed a, Taku, by japanese
cruisers.

Hs Loyalty Accepts the Principles
Laid Down in Satolli'S Letter
CONCERNING LIQUOR DEALERS
And Their Connection With Gath
olic Societies and the Church.
The Editor Of the Wine and
Spirit Gazette" Asks the Arch
bishop for His Views and Learns
that He Cannot be Bulldozed
by Threats.
New YORK, July 3o.-The World will
tomorrow say.

New YORK, July 30.-The World will
tomorrow say.
Archbishop Corrigan has written
very important letter to the editor OF
the Vine and Spirit Gazette, which he
makes an authoritative statement with
regard to the decision of Mgr. Satolli
affecting Roman Catholic liquor dealers.
The Archbishop's letter was called for
by an editorial recently published in
the Gazette, which says OF Mgr. Satol-
lis decision: "Will it be enforced in the
cities of the country. where fully two
thirds OF the retail dealers are Roman
Catholics? Some of these are liberal
contributors to the church funds. We
appreciate fully the delicate position in
which the Archbishop and other
Bishops OF the Catholic Church
are placed by the DEGREES
of the papal delegate. We voice the
sentiments OF large majority Of the
LIQUOR dealers Of this city and Brook
lyn in saying: "We dare Archbishop
Corrlgan to enforce in letter and in
spirit the decree agsinst the liquor
traffic just issued by Mgr. Satolli, the
papal delegate. Let the Archbishop do
it and watch the consequence.
THE ARCHBIsHoP's LETTER
is In his own handwriting. In 1t he
says:
in reply to your expressed wish, l
have the honor TO say that Loyalty ac-
cept the principles laid down by Mgr.
Satolli, both in their spirit and their
letter. More than this, no Catholic can
refuse TO accept them.
"As to fear as 20 the consequences,
have yet, thank God. TO learn what
fear is in the discharge OF my duty.
Please remember, however, that ac-
ceptance of principles is not to be con-
founded with blind application OF the
same without reason and under all cir
cumstances. MA. CoRIIGAN."
The editor OF the Gazette, p. j.
Smith, has this to say about the Arch
bishops letter: The answer does not
entirely and squarely meet the issue.
1t is not a question OF accepting prin'
ciple laid down by the head of the
church, but of the courage
TO CARRRY OUT IN LETTER
and in spirit the principles just pro
claimed by the Papal delegate In the
face OF seemingly adverse public senti-
ment. The issue is: Will the Arch
bishop refuse admission to Roman Cath
olic societies TO any one engaged either
as principal or agent in the manufacture
or sale of intoxicating liquors, and will
he instruct the clergy to deny the rights
and privileges OF the church to liquor
dealers who sell on Sunday?
"Thc declaration of the Archbishop
seems 10 justify the concusian that In
the discharge OF mis- duty he will enforce
these principles, although he does not
say so in his letter in distant terms.
Future developments will show how far
this conclusion is justsfed."

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-It is the
opinion OF diplomats here that the Jap
aness have made grave error in sink
ing the transport Kow Shing, and one
that is likely to cost them much money
in reparation besides the humiliation
OF an apology. The Kow Shing was
OF line of coasting steamers be-
longing to Hugh Mathieson d Co.,
and trading between Chinese ports.
The vessel was under the British 1ag
when she was sunk. Although she car
ried Chinese troops to Corea, it is said
here that she did not in so doing violate
the law of neutrality, for there has been
no declaration OF war or open acknowl-
edgement by either China or Japan that
a state OF war prevails.
The vessel, therefore was engaged in
legitimate traffic and the japanese are
likely to pay dearly for sinking her and
destroying the lives of the ships
company.
AN INTERESTING EXPLANATION.
of the present attitude Of Japan toward
China was furnished by a diplomat OF
much experience in Asatlc affairs. He
first pointed out the fact that internal
conditions in Japan are, and have been
for some time, very much disturbed.
There has been great fric tion be-
tween the Mikado and his Cabinet
on the one side and the Parliament and
people ON the other. This steadily In
creased until the Parliament actually
passed a resolution requesting the
Mikado TO remove his cabinet and re-
place it by other men more nearly In
accord with their ideas, which are
distinctly reactionary and marked
by resentment Of the presence OF for
eigners in japan and the extension or
modern civiliZing systems. ~
The Emperor's answer cana quick
aud sharp in decree proroguing the
parliament. This added to the popular
feeling of dissatisfaction, the govern
ment became alarmed. The date of
election OF the new parliament began to
draw near aud some heroic measure was
necessary to prevent an overwhelming
defeat, the results Of which might be TO
turn Japan backward in the march to-
ward civilization and perhaps overthrow
the Emperor himself.
The Japanese relations with Corea
growing out Of the obstacles to trade
with that country with its Limitation
upon the fisheries and upon the number
of ports open to japanese trade were in
very unsatisfactory state, and this
with the state OF domestic affairs, led
the japanese government to ADOPT very
vigorous foreign policies, in which it is
quite sure OF popular support.
