ill-feeling between the line and staff

mand addressed by Secretary Herbert
to Passed Assistant Engineer Frank
M. Bennett, who has been particularly
active in defending the staff depart
ments against the attack of the line.
In pursuance of this work he wrote
several articles for a magazine which
aroused the ire of Admiral Greer, a
line officer. who complained to the sec
retary In the interest of the service
the secretary was under the necessity
of reprimanding the engineer and has

Shanghai, Aug. 29.--The native press
ported battle between Chinese and jap
anese troops August 13. According to
these reports 5000 Chinese troops of all
arms attacked the Japanese forces de-
tailed to guard the Ping Nang passes
in northwest Corea, and eventually sue
ceeded in driving the japanese from
their positions. 1t is added that a large
number of Coreans fiocked to the Chi
nese standard, begging for arms and
asking for permission to form the adj
vance of the Chinese forces marching
against the japanese.
On August a. according to the
report received by the native press, the
Chinese were reinforced by 1000 troops
from vi Chow. and the day following
they attacked the Japanese lines at
Chung Ho and the Japanese retreated.
On August 49, the Chinese army was,
the report says, further reinforced by
$4,000 fresh troops, and on August IL
they attacked the Japanese, who are
said to have lost 1000 men and heavy
baggage.
The Chinese, ON August Is, advanced
to Huang Chow, and passing too near
the Tatung river, thirteen Japanese
warships opened fire upon them, in
flicting a loss of several hundred men.
At ebb tide the same day, three of the
Japanese warships found themselves
grounded and were afterward severely
damaged by the fire of the Chinese ar
tillery handled from ambush. The
bulk Of the japanese forces, it is fur
ther asserted, retreated southwark,
pursued by the Chinese cavalry until
night stopped the latter's advance
General Yen, the Chinese commander,
made a detour and attacked the Japan
csc in the rear, completely routing them
and capturing Huang Chow.
The general news received here does
not confirm these reports Of the native
press.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The celebrated

been pending before the department.
