FIVE HUNDRED CHINAMEN KILLED

Ii Hung Chang, China's viceroy. Apollo

His issubordinates-serious Riots in China
and Japan.
LONDON, Aug. 6.-The Japanese lega-
tion here received this dispatch from
Tokio General Oshima, cofnmander of
the troops in Corea, reports that after Sc
we're fighting from 3 to O. m., on July 90,
he won decisive victory over the Chinese
army intrenched at Kashan. Every in
trenchment was taken, and more than 500
cut of $500 Chinese troops were killed and
wounded. Our casualties were five officers
and seventy men killed and wounded.
THE enemy dispersed and fed toward
Hong Chow, intending, perhaps, to avail
themselves of the Corean boats. In the
vicinity of Genshan our troops captured
many flags, much ammunition and four
guns. General Oshima eventually estab-
lished his headquarters at kashan."
A dispatch eo The Times from Tientsin
says that Thirteen Japanese who were
forcibly taken by the Chinese from on
board the British steamer Chun King
Were ut once returned to that vessel upon
the order of the viceroy, who issued such
instructions the moment he was informed
of the incident. The vceroy also sent an
apology to the British consul, and ordered
the punishment of those responsible for
the removal of the Japanese from the
ship.
Tho government has received no con-
frmation of tho report that the emperor
of China has deprived Viceroy Iii Hung
Chang of the yellow riding jacket, and
the report is discredited.

being covered with bruises, his jaw broken
and an ugly cut above the left temple.
Wilson's principal wounds were internal.
Trainmaster Fowler of the Chicago and
Eastern Illinois, said that they had come
to this city to work on his road, and this
led to the belief that tho men were as
saulted by strikers. Most of the strikers
say they were acquainted with the men,
and that they did not come to work on
the railroad, and that they were assaulted
by a crowd of toughs. Wright admits
that he was robbed of considerable
money
A man who arrived here yesterday to
take n position on the Chicago and East
ern Illinois was attacked by men alleged
to be strikers, and was only saved from
being killed by drawing revolver, hold
the crowd at bay until policeman ar
