THE GREAT NAVAL BATTLE AT CHEhULPC

still better view is secured. AS the
ships disappeared in the haze our
hearts stood still with almost agoniz-
ing suspense. Then came the roar OF
two shots across their bows.
Then, refusing to lay to they

on by the concentrated fire of the Japa-

would suffice to end the unequal con-
test. but earth and sea shook under the
awful thunder of guns thirty minutes,

Denver, March 2O.-A letter has been
received here from Bishop David H.
Moore, formerly leading minister of
/ the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Colorado and chancellor of the Uni
versity Of Denver, whose station is
now at China, Japan and Korea.
Bishop Moore, whose son. William A.
Moore, is a prominent attorney of this
city, was an eye witness to the battle
between Russians and japanese at
Clemulpo. He has also another son,
Z. H. Moore, who is chief professor of
mathematics at the University OF Chi
cago.
The bishop left Shanghai February
9Th in the ship Sungari OF the Russian
line, which plies between that city and
Port Arthur. The ship reached Che
mulpo February Sth and anchored near
the Russian cruisers Variag and Ko-
rietz. At that time not a japanese yes
sci was in sight. The subsequent bat
tie is wildly described in his letter to
friend in Denver, which reads in part
as follows:
Nothing unusual occurred until
about p. m. when long line of
japanese cruisers. torpedo boats and
three transports-twelve in all
steamed in and anchored. 1t was dark
before the troops began to disembark
some 1900 hardy looking fellows,
equipped for active service.
THE soldiers landed, the feet with
drew some eight miles beyond an is
land, and formed across the narrow
channel by which alone heavy-draught
ships can pass in or out-the Asama
Takashito, Gushlrna, Nanivo, Chiyoda
Nitoka and eight torpedo boats. Be
sides these, second line was rumored
Tuesday. the 9Th, like shock rar
through the city the report that the
Japanese consul had notified the Rus
SLAMS that If they did not sail out by
noon they would be attacked in thu
harbor at p. m. Soon after an officia
order was made public that the Japa
nese ships would attack the Russian
men-of-war in Chemulpo harbor 4
they did not leave before noon. Th'
Russians decided to go out at once ant
stripped their ships for action.

Russian Victory No. Confirmed.

London, March 21.-Nothing has
reached here to confirm the report that
a battle has taken place on the Yalu
in which the Russians are alleged to
claim that they captured 1900 prison
ers.
dispatch from st. Petersburg to
a news agency dated yesterday says
there has been no change in the situa
tion and that all is quiet. Between the
Russian line from Ping Yang to the
Yalu river and the Japanese line to
Gensan there have been slight skir
mishes between scouts, but no battle
has taken place. as the distance be
tween the opposing armies is great
The bulk Of the Russian forces, the
dispatch adds, has not yet passed the
Yalu river.

Paris, March 20.-The Figaro's cor.

German officer who has Just arrived
there from Manchuria says serious op-
erations in the Far East, will not be
begun before the end of June.
The principal obstacle to Russian
victory. according to this of1lcer. ia the
fact that 10000 Chinese troops, we'll
trained. and with German and Japan
ese instructors. are menacing Russia's
line Of communication. Russia, with
the support Of Germany, will protest
against this concentration of Chinese
troops.
