Official confirmation Il obtained here Of the

We're sunk and one burned in the recent naval

Japanese fleet, the officers Of the legation pre-
China has lost Ave of her best war ships They
were undoubtedly the best she had, and as good
naval vessels are not built in day, the chances

II IL safe to assert that by this victory Japan
has obtained full possession OF the Gulf Of Pc

stationed there stands little chance Of being
routed and Japanese troops can be landed in
China and Corea without serious danger. With
the Chinese northern fleet crippled and the

not likely to make an advance on q strong force

These are the Views OF the Legation officials.

FOREIGN COMMENT.
The Chinese Plans Were Had, and Fatally
Delayed In Execution.

LONDON, Sept. 2O,-The Times, commenting
on the conduct Of the war between China and
japan, says;
THE Admiral of the Chinese fleet by an en-
tire absence OF activity has handed over COrea
IN Japan, and occasiOned the loss Of the only
trained force at III Hung Changes disposal The
inaction was probably due TO the fact that the
fleet consists of four provincial squadrons
equipped and maintained by the Yiceroys Of
the maritime province, To which they
aTe attached. No arrangement could be
more unsuited TO the purposes of a
naval war. Stirred at length, doubtless, by
peremptOry orders from Pekin the Chinese Adj

attacked the japanese when conveying troops 10
Chemulpo, or To have fought a battle at Che
mnlpO or at Ping Yang Inlet, might have led 20
important results, but the conveying of troops
10 the Yalu was quite secondary object.

OF this intention ar, what Is more likely, they
sseertained the fact by the Of fast lockout
