Yokohama, November 5.--Advices received

| been heavy fighting in the country just
north of Port Arthur The dispatches

vided his forces. While one division was
! landed on the east coast of the pennsular,
north of Talienwan, another division was
4 detached with orders to effect Il landing
/ near kinchow and to proceed thence and
/ join the main body of the army. This OPP
/ Grafton was complete success. The Japa-
| nese encountered no Chinese warships and
| the transports reached KayencSo and dis
| embarked their troops guns, horses and
I munitions So fey.
Kinchow, which is walled town, and
/ which was believed to be held by large
garrison. was Immediately attacked. The
otter defenses were carried by the Japanese
| after n few hours fighting. The Chinese
( made little further resistaEca and the Japa-
I rose were soon masters of the place.
In tbs meantime, the Japanese fleet
| which had conveyed the transports. opened
a heavy fire On Talienwan and kayenko.
| The lirng scarcely ceased for many hours
! Covered by the fire from the ships, the land
! force attacked and captured Talienwan In
a brilliant fashion.
The dispatches state that the losses were
heavy. They also mention that an impor-
tant naval engagement occurred SATURDAY.
