EXCITING DETAILS
OF The Great Oriental Naval Battle Dc
scribed.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-The correspondent
of the Central News at Tien Tsin, tele-
graphs further details of the naval battle
off south of the Yalu river. The work of
transferring troops and stores from the
Chinese transports to the shore proceeded
rapidly when the Japanese fleet was
sighted. Admiral Ting's signal led the fleet
to weigh anchor and form in line of battle
In obedience to this order the fleet formed
in single line with the exception of the
cruisers Kwang Kai and Ewang Ting and
four torpedo boats, which formed in sec
ond line at the mouth of the river.
The Japanese fleet advanced at full
speed, the Chinese column forming in line,
until they came within range, when the
warships formed in line of battle, nine of
Them in one column and three gunboats and
five torpedo boats in the second column
The firing at the outset of the engagement
was of an Indifferent order, the japanese
were creeping gradually closer to the CHI
nese ships and their gunners were improv-
ing their aim by practice. The Chinese
barbette ship Ting Yuen was the first to
suffer Injury, Japanese shell bursting in
her battery.
Ceaseless cannonade was kept up on both
sides for an hour and a half, when the
Japanese ship Saikio was rendered helpless,
and according to the assertion of the Chi
nese officers, sank soon afterward. Two
big guns of the battleship Chen Yuen were
disabled, but she continued to use her small
Ter guns. The vessels of both fleets work
very easily under steam. The Japanese
were constantly manoeuvering. while the
Chinese held their original position. Sud-
denly, two Japanese cruisers, believed to
have been Akituhima and Yoshino, endeav-
ured to break the Chinese line. They were
followed by three torpedo boats.
As the Japanese ships advanced at full
speed the Chinese ships Ching Yuen and
Chao Yung backed at full speed to avoid
disaster. The Japanese torpedo boats fired
but their projectlles were stopped by the
nets. The guns of the other Chinese ships
were quickly trained on the two japanese
cruisers and they retired after a short time
almost helpless. The Chinese declare they
were sunk The Ching Yuen was several
times pierced by shells. Chao Yung ran
ashore whlle retresting and became the tar
get for the Japanese guns until she was so
ON fire.
King Yuen was in a terrible plight.
shell burst through her decks, and she
slowly foundered, while the flames burst
from all parts. Tsi Yuen withdrew from
the first into the second column. The
Chinese torpedo boats vainly attempted to
put the japanese on the defence, but the
Japanes. remained aggressors throughout,
although two or three attempts to break the
Chine Sc line were repulsed. Cruiser Yang
Wei went ashore. stern foremost and met
a fate similar to that of Chao Yuug.

twenty-five CENT GAMES
To Be The Feature Of the National Base Ball
Association.

PITTsnURG, Sept. 20.-ExManager A.
c. Buckenberger of the Pittsburg Club and
A. X. Scandrel, ex-secretary of the same
organization, today stated that new base
ball association had been organized. From
these gentlemen it was learned that a cir
cult is to be made up of Pittsburg, Phla-
delphia, Boston, New York, Brooklyn, De-
troit, Providence and Chicago or Buffalo,
and the new organization is to be known as
the National Association. Admission to
the games will be 2j cents. 1t is not the
intention to fight the National League but to
arrange schedule Of games SO as not to
conflict with the latter.
President Kerr of the Pittsburg league
club, did not appear to be in the least dis
turbed when told of the plans of the new.
born association. He admitted the truth
of the report that some of the National
League clubs favor the plan Of maintaining
two clubs in each city, the second to con-
sist of young players, to play games while
the regular teams are away from home.
The carrying out Of this plan would be a
severe blow to the new organization.
