Dispatches.
Nv N. Auoc,stsd Press,


LONDON, Sept. pa dispatch to ths
Times from st. Petersburg says: IL is
reported here that China has attacked
the stations OF the new Ussueri section
of the Siberian railway, plunderei the
telegraph Office and killed eight Russian
employees. 1t il feared the government
will make this pretext to interfere IN
the Corean struggle between China and
Japan.
CAPTAIN TANG SAVED.
A dispatch from Shanghai dated TO-
day says: Captain Tang, commander OF
the Chinese warship Chin Yuen, which
was sunk in the engagement on the
Yalu river. 10 among the saved.
The British steamer Irene from Ham.
burg. loaded with large quantities OF
munitions of war, safely arrived at Iaku,
and has landed her cargo.
1t is understood the government OF
Manchuria is concentrating all the
troops raised in that province upon
Meukden, and that on the route to Win
extensive earthworks are being raised
The troops are composed OF hardy North
Cinnamon and are excellent MATERIAL
but they are poorly armed, only abouS
40 900 having good rifles, Further sup
plies, however, are being hurried up
from the southern srsenals.
The Chinese force ON the Yalu is esti-
mated OF $500. Many of these are raw
recruits, and are also badly armed. The
loss of field guns, rifles and ammunition
at Ping Yang has greatly embarrassed
the Chinese war department.
ANOTHER BATTLE SOON.
It is recognized that a battle must be
fought on the Yalu, and the Chinese are
straining every nerve to retrieve the
disaster at Ping Yang.
European officers here doubt whether
-rruusuen IS ruuiry vrsu ImfnsuIxve upJecs
tive point OF the Japanese. 1t is con-
sidered probable il they attack Wiju the
Japanese will make descending march
upon New Chang with an expedition.
If this movement should be successfully
made the Japanese would cut the
| Chinese main line OF communication
and could attack the Yalu army in the
rear. New Chang in the possession OF
the Japanese would form basis for q
movement upon Moukden, or upon
Pekin itself, and the forces landed there
could cooperate with the army advsnc-
ing from Corsa. This is the plan
credited by experts to Field Marshal
| Yamagsta.
The island OF Yatantan, in Corean
| bay, has been made station from
where tne Japanese can keep constant
watch upon the mouth OF the gulf OF Pes
cheli, nine Japanese gunboats being sta
toned there.
The emperor OF China held war
council at 4 O'Clock. He is completely
under the influence OF his former tutor
and aged adviser.
WILL MARCH TO PEKIN.
The Associated Press correspondent
had an interview today with NJ. Mia
! bara. Japanese naval constructor. who
is here supervising the building of two
first class men OF war for the Japanese.
Each of the vessels is to be of IA 800
tons, and ia to be completed in four
years. With regard to the campaign, he
thought everything pointed in the di-
rection of o Japanese march toward
Pekin. Beyond that he was not inclined
to say much, but he believed the war
would terminate before winter.
NO APOLOGY MADE.
The officials of the Japanese legation
deny the story cabled via Vancouver.
B. c.. that the Kow Shing affair has
been settled by the Japanese govern
ment apolcgizing and paying $75. 900 in
demnity. They add Japan holds the
