DEFEAT FOR CHINESE
AN ARMY OF TWENTY THOUSAND
MEN DESTROYED.
The Japanese Surround the Chinese
and n Terrible Slaughter Ensues-
Few OF the Chinese Soldiers Make
Their Escape.

London, Sept. 49, 49, A dispatch re-
ceived here from Seoul, dated yester-
day, says that during the evening Of
Thursday last, a japanese column from
Pung San made a reconnaissance in
force, drawing the fire of the Chinese
forces and ascertaining accurately their
disposition. This done, the japanese
fell back in good order. with little loss
Friday night all the Japanese forces
were in good order for combined at
tack. Two f1anking columns Of Japan
csc drew a Gordon around the Chinese
troops, and at 8 o'clock in the morning
! the japanese attack was delivered
simultaneously and with admirable
precision.
The Chinese lines. which were strong
in front, We're found to be weak in the
rear. and the Chinese, utterly ,lnsus-
picious OF the japanese attack from
that quarter, We're taken completely
by surprise. became panic-stricken and
We're cut down and bayonetted by
| thousands.
So well was the Japanese attack di-
rected, that the Chinese were sur
rounded at every point, and actutlly
sought safety in fight
Defending the entrenchment, how
| ever, We're some of Viceroy Lii Hung
/ Chang's picked Chinese troops drilled
by Europeans. These soldiers made q
| determined stand to the last and were
| cut down to man.
The Pong San column swarming over
the damaged defenses of the Chinese
front completed the rout of the Chinese
| and the whole OF the latter's position
was captured by the troops Of the
mikado.
Some idea Of the manner in which
| the Japanese attack was delivered may
be Judged from the fact that half an
hour after the early mornig attack COM
menced the strongly defended position
! OF Ping Yang was in the hands OF the
japanese troops. 1t was believed that
the Chinese position Of Ping Yang was
defended by 10000 Chinese, of whom
only a few succeeded in escaping.
fhe Japanese victory was brilliant
and complete. An immense amount of
provisions, arms ammunition and other
stores, in addition to hundreds of flags,

is estimated that the Chinese lost 49,

ers. The Japanese loss was trifiing,
when compared with that Of the
Chinese, only thirty Japanese being
Killed and 270 wounded. The Japanese,
when this dispatch was sent, were in
active pursuit of the fugitive Chinese,
and, AS nearly all of the latter were
without arms, having thrown them
away during the panic, they undoubted-
ly will surrender so soon as the Jap.
| anese overtake them.
So far as the active operations of the
Chinese in Corea are concerned, the
war is practically at an end for long
time to come, and the mainland OF
Corea may be said to be completely
in the hands of the Japanese.

GIVES UP THE FIGHT
BRECKINRIDGE WILL NOT Make A
CONTEST.
The Men Who Have Stood by Him
Until Now VIII Not Go Behind the
Returns, and as n Result Breckin-
ridge Gives 1t Up.

Lexington, Ky, Sept. 1S.-Eyerything
Is quiet, the nomination Of Owens be-
ing conceded. 1t has, however, been
more exciting day than any Of the pre-
cedins week. When the Owens men
claimed the nomination by a decisive
plurality Saturday night the Breckin-
ridge men stood pat. Yesterday they
worked harder than ever. To-day it
became known that their representa-
tives had been dispatched into different
parts Of the district TO get all evidences
Of irregularities in voting or counting
with Il view to cCntesting the nomina-
zion be fore the Democratic congression-
al committee which meets at Frankfort
next Saturday, and which is the return
ing board that makes the official count
and declaration as to who is the candi-
date nominated. This committee is
composed Of one member from each
county Fayette county, the home Of
Breckinridge, has two legislative dis
tricts, and hence two members of the
committee, each Of the other seven
counties having one. The members of
the state Democratic committee for the
Seventh district is the tenth member
Of the committee, which was known to
stand six for Breckenridge and four
anti-Breckinridge. As this committee
has done everything in its power for
Ereckinridge in fixing q late date for
the prin aries. adopting the challenge
rule and every thing else he wanted
the Owens men We're alarmed to-day
on finding out that the Breckenridge
agents were at work with a view to
presenting evidence for contest before
this con mittee next Saturday. They
learned of letters sent to the committee
OF the agencies at work in different
counties working up the case, and be-
lieved there was we'll planned pur-
pose to throw out the vote of certain
precincts on the ground Of irregulari-
ties, and declare Breckinridge the nom-
inee.
The tide was turned later when e.
j. Wclch, the committeeman from
EreckinriGge's S home, and one of his
strongest supporters, announced that
he would never vote to go behind the
returns when the committee met at
Frankfort. AS this will leave the COM
ilittee tie, or five to five in any event,
and as other Breckenridge men on the
district committee who had stood by
him to the last W ere not disposed to 80
behind the returns, the old guard OF
the silver topgued orator gave up the
struggle. Breckenridge will serve until
EeXt M1rch.
Col. Rreckipridge has made a state
ment in which he charges fraud. He
says that evidence Of fraud will be
| frlrpished the committee, but if the
committee decides against him he will
support the nominee.

different story. She said that she and

City Of Mexico. Sept. 1S.-The eighty
fourth anniversary of the declaration
OF Mexican independence was cele-
brated here yesterday with great mil
itlly demonstration and by the reas-

read. This document noted the general
peace and prosperity and made men
ton of several national and internation-
al matters of current interest, among
then. the boundary commission of the
United States, the new treaty with
China, the proposed monetary confer
ence OF the nations of North and South
America and the boundary dispute be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala. In re-
gard to the latter the president used
some pretty Vigorous language, and
intimates that there will be trouble
unless Guatemala changes the course it
has been pursuing.
