THE LOST wARsHIP CHEN YUEN.
tleship Maine. She was built in Europe
in 1882, and was of 7,43O tons displace-
ment.
1t would appear from the brief state
ment of facts in the cablegram that the
ship fell a victim to one of the torpedoes
planted by the Chinese themselves to
guard the entrance to Wei-Hai Wei, which
was the last of the great naval strong
holds of the empire save Port Arthur, now
tottering to its fall
1t was as well that Commodore Lin com
mitted suicide, for he would doubtless
have been decapitated as the result of his
error.
1t is believed here that this loss has de
prived the Chinese navy of its offensive
power. There remains the Ting Yuen,
another powerful battleship, and few
lesser irOnclads, but without the aid of the
Chen Yuen they would hardly dare to
make an offensive campaign, and proba-
bly, will remain in port to assist in the de
fense.
The departure of the Chinese customs
chief for Japan is regarded by officials
here as the result of Japans demand for a
direct offer from China. The De Ting
mentioned in the cable is said to be Diet
ring, a German, who occupies the position
of commissioner of customs. That he
should be sent as the peace envoy is ac-
counted for by officials on the ground that
an indemnity would probably be secured
on the customs receipts of China. 1t is said
that the Chinese envoy will probably be
the guest Of United States Minister Dun
at Toxic. Japanese officials say he will be
accorded every courtesy.

CHINA SUING FOR PEACE.
Has Sent an Agent to Japan with That
Object I'm View.

Has Sent an Agent to Japan with That
Object I'm View.
TIENTsIN, Nov. 23.-The chief of the inn
peral Gust oms here, De Ting, who was re-
Gently summoned to Pellin in order to
confer with the government as to ways
and means for raising money for the war,
has left for Japan in order to arrange
terms of peace.
1t is said that China has intimated her
willingness to pay an indemnity of 100, ,OOO-
600 taels and in addition, pay all the war
expenses incurred by Japan. AS the war
expenses reach $50, 100000 taels, the total
offer of China would be 10000 900 taels.
The tael is a Chinese silver coin worth
about seventy-five cents at the present ex-
change, so that the whole payment would
be approximately $1750OO,OOO 1t is be-
lieved arrangements between the two ma
tions could be effected on terms providing
for a smaller war indemnity.
A Shanghai dispatch says that the ef-
forts of foreigners to reach the Chinese
wounded meet with small success. The
wounded Chinese mostly remain at ST.
menting, between New Chang and Mouk-
den, the state of the country preventing
the Chinese medical staff and the foreign
volunteers from proceeding there. Some
wounded stragglers have reached Mouk-
den and New Chang, and some of them
have even reached Tientsin, where they
have been attended to- But no succor has
reached the main body of the Chinese
wounded.
All the foreigners have left Moukden
A portion of the road between Tientsin
and Pekin is occupied by Hounanese troops
and this locality is becoming unpleasant
for travellers.
The Catholic fathers remain at their sta
tions In Manohuria, but the Protestants
have returned. The latter report that the
Chinese soldiers fought most stubbornly
under General Sung, and they add that il
the Chinese had good leaders they would
certainly repel the japanese.
Reliable information received here from
Port Arthur shows that there has been a
sharp battle at that place. The first attack
of the Japanese drove in the Chinese out
posts. Three other attacks were subse
uuently made, but in each instance the
japanese were repulsed. Heavy and in
cessant firing has been going on since
noon Tuesday. The japanese are landing
additional troops. They warned British
vessel to clear, as their fleets intended t.
lombard the forts.
