 London. Nov. s.-The Centarl News hasthis dispatch from Shanghai:
 The panic in New Chwang and through Manchuria continues. Numer- ous country people are arriving at New chwang and two-thirds oe the stores have been closed.
 Chang Chi Tung arrived in Nankin last evening with the remains of the viceroy Of Liang cbiang. A war levy of 8 a head has been imposed in Han kow. The people probably will resist 1t.
 London. Nov. S.-A Shanghai dis patch to the Times says that the re- cent report of the capture of Talienwan by the Japanese has not been confirm ed. The reports have been confirmed. however, that the Japanese are steadily repulsing detached bodies of Chinese, and that they have taken Port Kin Chang. The Japanese force that land ed on October 25 north of Elliott Islands first marched eastward, probably to in- tercept the army of General Sung. which was retreating from Pung- Wang Ching.

 Japan could not accept, as an an- swer to her proposals of reform in Corea, the maintenance of g. Chinese army in the peninsula. The presence of Chinese troops in Corea meant merely a series of horrors, such as are now perpetrat- ing in Manchuria. Japan never menaced China's integrity. She did not intend to break up the empire and certainly does not wish others to do so. The height of Japan's ambition Is to see China con- solidated, freed from corruption, pros- porous and open to commerce and civil lization." ....,
 The Standard will say tomorrow: There is good ground for stating that there Is little prospect of united &C., tion of the powers in China. Russia is ready to act, and France offers no dif- f1culty, but Germany does not admit the utility of intervention"
