THE NEWS CONFIRMED.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - Secretary
Gresham to-day received three cab.egrams
from the seat OF in the Orient, one
from Minister Denby's son, dated to-day,
reading as follows: Naval engagement off
north Corea on the nth. Five Chinese and
three japanese vessels reported destroyed.
Fleet at Port Arthur" Another also from
Charles DENLY. bears date of yesterday,
and reads asgfollows: 'Teiegraphic COM
municafion between Pekln and Chinese
army In Corea cut off by Japanese" The
other dispatch was from Minister Dunn,
at Toxic. and was as follows: THE fol-
lowing received from the Erited States min
lister at Seoul: please cable department
that the Chinese army has been annihilated
These confrmatory dispatches of the de-
feat of the Chinese by land and sea. with
further notice that telegraphic communica-
OFF by the Japanese, is taken here as an
evidence that the Chinese forces are in a
an army in Corea is cut of from reinforce
ment by sea as result OF the defeat OF
the Chinese fleet ar the mouth of the Yalu
own government by wire and as their es-
cape from the Corean peninsula by
the -. northern overland route us is
mountain passes by the Japanese their sur
render appears to be inevitable The scene
OF the last naval engagement was at the
mouth of the river forming part of the
boundary between Corea and Manchuria,
the latter being the greatest military prov
ince of China. The Japanese, therefore,
are now in force on the border and coast
of their enemy and an early transfer of
the scene of war from Coree to Chinese soil
Is looked for by many officers unless the
movement should be prevented by the early
advent of winter. The military experts be-
leve that as soon the remaining Chinese
troops in Corea have surrendered the Jap
anese will transport the main body of their
troops by sea from Ping Yang 10 the Man
churian coast, and, making a rapid advance
on Mukden, the capital of the province,
will soon be in position to organize a cam
paign on Pekin itself. 1t is believed here
that the Chinese forces are almost demor-
allied. and that the only obstacle to the
triumphant campaign of the Japanese, apart
from the inclement weather of northern
China. is to be looked for in the interfer-
ence of the great powers. There is reason
TO believe that the feeling is growing in
Europe that the war bids fair to go be-
yond bounds unless some influence is
brought to bear to check it, ard some ma
tons having large interests in China have
taken the alarm already. They fear the
result on their own interest Of so over
whelmng victory by Japan tina. must be
followed by the domination of Japanese in
terests. and. animated by commercial or
territorial jealousy, are seeking a way to
terminate the war

Several Europeans accompanied the feet:
The object of the expedition was 10 land

OF the enemy until the mouth OF the Nalu
river was reached. Then fleet or war

were also set for the Chinese fleet to Gear
for action. This order was promptly obeyed.
In the meantime the Japanese squadron
was coming up rapidly, making direct Tor
the Chinese vessels. The transports had
run In towards shore and hurried prepara-
tions were made to send the troops ashore.
Many of then, were landed before the bat
The Chen Yuen, one Of the most power
ful vessels in the Chinese navy, fired a
shot at the japanese as. soon as the latter
came within range Of her guns. The fire
was promptly returned and soon the Chen
Yuen was hotly engaged with two large
have been the Chiyoda. The other Japan
ese vessels got into the positions they de-
sired and the fight then became general
For six hours the battle was waged fur
iously the deep boom of the great guns
commingiing with the sharp reports of the
main rifles. Nearly all the vessels on both
sides were engaged for the whole six
hours.
The cruiser Chih Yuen took prominent
part In the engagement. Her Krupp and
Armstrong guns were well served, and she
poured hot and well sustained fire from
her auxiliary battery. One OF the japanese
vessels discharged a torpedo at her. The
missile sped well from its tube and struck
the Chih Yuen fairly. When IL exploded
1t was apparant that Ii had done great
damage. for the Chih Yuen began almost
Immediately to settle. Her crew, however.
stuck to their guns and delivered some
effective shots before the vessel sank. The
belted cruiser King Yuen met with a SINH
lar fate, being struck by a torpedo and
sinking shortly afterward. Many OF the
crew Of both vessels went down while
standing at quarters. Only a few of those
on board were saved, and ii is reported
that coo officers and the men drowned by
the laundering of these two vessels.
After the Chi-Yuen and King Yuen had
gone down the cruiser Yang Wal and
Tshao- Yong ran aground while rnaneuver-
ing for position, where they were helpless,
and a destructive fire was poured into
them from the big guns of the japanese.
Some of the Japanese war ships devoted
themselves for a time to the transports,
which had not had time to get out of range.
tt is believed that several of the trans
ports were sunk, including one from which
the troops had been landed. 1t is esti-
mated that the total Chinese loss in killed
and wounded was 1850. 1t is reported thar
the Japanese loss was 1,0o0 in killed and
wounded.
Up to the time of the sending of the dis
patch 1t was impossible TO learn the names
of the Japanese vessels that the Chinese al
lege were destroyed in the engagement

by Japanese TorpedOes.
LONDON, Sept. 2O.--The Times this morn
ing publishes a dispatch from Shanghai
stating that the so-called torpedo cruiser
Tsi-Yuen, which was attached to the Chi
nese Northern squadron. was one of the
vessels attacked by the Japanese fleet off
the mouth of the Yalu river, but that she
was for some reason not stated in the
dispatch, sent out of the action. Captain
Fong who was in command of the Tsi-
Yuen, witnessed the fight from distance.
He says that he saw four of the Japanese
vessels sunk by the fire from the Chinese
war ships. The dispatch shows that il Ad-
miral Ting and Colonel Won Hannekin were
wounded during the engagement, as was
stated in caller dispatch, their injuries
must have been very slight, for 1t is now
said they have both resumed their duties on
board the Chinese fleet. 1t is added that
the Japanese occupied Ping Yang on Mon
day. Several isolated. bands OF Chinese
managed to escape from the japanese sent
after refugees after the fall of the city and
fled northward, probably along the coast
toward Manchuria.
night says that the Chinese claim that they
defeated the Japanese fleet. II is aided,
however, that this claim Us not entirely in
dorsed by the correspondent at Port Ar
thur, which lies across the Gulf of Corea
from the scene of the engagement He says
that he has seen some of the Chinese Off
GERS who took part in the battle. and from
what he CLEANED from them it is apparent
that they did not believe their fleet had
been victorious Some half dozen of the
Japanese war ships put into Port Arthur
after the fight All of them were badly
damaged and were full of wounded. 1t

NEW YORK. Sept. 19.-J. Magnon, a
snake-charmer. and Arthur Kathleen, a
circus rider, have applied to Judge La
combe. of the United States Circuit Court,
for a judicial opinion to whether live
animals can>be classified as tools of trade"

in question are twenty-eight snakes a
tiger, a horse and dog. which arrived
here on March 80. and which We're clas-
sifed by Collector Kilbreth as live ami

The owners claim they are tools of trade
