BLACK WAR CLOUD.
Chill and Peru are Now
at Odds.
A Conflict Threatened over the
Difficulty.
The Method of Colonization the Cause
of II.

There is talk OF another war between
Peru and Chilli Il the military exports are
greatly interested over the prospect. The
danger OF conflict is so imminent that tho
arm and ammunition co coaipHnirS OF this cOun-
try have dispatched agents to the probable
scene Of activity.
The possible war grows out Of the approac IL
ing date when Chill must turn over to Peru
the Province OF Harna. which h ~ been in tho
possession of the Chidan government since
the celebrated war with Peru. The terms of
the peace, among other concessions on the
part of the defeated Pcruvians permitted
Chill to control the ira e Of Tarna for 10
years. As the time nears for the rclinquiSh-
ment of this tribute, Chill is said
to have adopted n method of "culoni-
Zation' somewhat known to tho
po 'itical usagrs of this country. BY stock
ing the province with people whose f"cl-
ings a.c emphatica ly in favor Of n continu-
ancc of the Chi ian rule, that government
hopes to retain possession of lacna. A
"plrhirite' is to decide to which Of the two
countries the province will belong. This
popular vote will he influenced in its suits

the provinc" by Chilli. 1t is nut to he TX

CHINESE DEFEATED.
Japanese Capture Gas.
tie Hwan-Ju.
Fighting was Severe and Losses
Heavy.
Victorious Forces Marching Toward
Phong Wang.

A dispatch from Toxic says the japanese
won great victory over the Chinese in
battle on Sept G. The fighting was very
severe. The Japanese scattered the Chinese
cavalry, and detachment OF japanese after
ward captured the castle OF Hwan-Ju, 80
miles from Phong-Yang. The loss ON
both sides was very heavy, but details
Of the battle are not yet obtainable.
The Chinese force at Phong Yang
numbers 10, 900. The japanese are rapidly
approaching that place, and great battle Is
impending. If the Japanese are victorious,
they will march To Moukden, In the province
OF Shing King. This position will menace
Pckin. A dispatch from Yokohama to the
Times says that large detachments OF
troops have been sent to re-enforce
the Japanese army in Korea. Wagers
are being made in Toxic that the
japanese will occupy Pekin or Moukden by
the Sd OF November. The British steamer
Oceanic, which recently arrived from the
Orient brings Chinese advices to Aug 2, and
japanese adviccs 10 Sept. 2. As the mounted
brIgands OF Manchura aud other rebels are
only waiting for an opportunity to rise up III
arms China Is, therefore, 80 pressed by internal
dissensions and foreign war that she can
II t AFFORD to practice her usual diiatory
policy. 1t is China's real wish to put an end
to the war as soon a. possible, and though
she has been defeated at Selwan and GaZan,
she has sent troops to Hciia to fight, 1t Is
thought, the decisive battle. Though the
people generally believe China places her
greatest reliance on her navy she really re-
relies more on her army. Her northern
squadron is now concealed in Pc Chi Ii bay,
not rs piece OF stIategem, but from fear
OF japanese men Of war entering there
1t is reported that the Chinese army OF the
north, consisting Of manchus and Chi Ii
men, has sto ped short at Ping Yang Hottie
old or northern capital of Korea, and will re-
main there until further re-entorcements
arrive. Chinese officials say this army mum
lrrs 30 600 men. The Chinese troops at Hello
anl in its vicinity number nearly l5Vo'
