Washington Hears of the Battle.
(By the Associated Press.)


Washington, April 3U.-Reports
have reached the State Department,
the sources of which the officials do
not care to diVulge, to the effect that
a great battle has been fought on
the Yalu river resulting in complete
Japanese victory. Details are unob-
tainable.
The State Departments advices
place the scene of the Japanese cross
ing of the Yalu at Chin Tien Cheng,
a town on the Manchurian side of the
river, which it is reported was fin
ally captured by the Japanese. The
date of the battle is stated 20 have
been last Tuesday, and the delay in
receiXing the news is ascribed to the
absence of telegraph facilities in this
remote quarter of Manchuria.
The. japanese legation here has no
news confirming these reports, but
the matter has aroused intense inter-
est in official circles. Reports, which
have from time to time reached the
Washington government from its
agents in the field indicated that the
two great armies would not come in
touch before May 1st and that what
has heretofore occurred was nothing
more than mere outpost skirmishes
and collisions between scouting part
les. It is believed now, however,
that the weather conditions in Man
churia have improved sufficiently to
facilitate the movements of troops and
artillery, and that the two vanguards
have consequently come together a
few days in advance of the expected
date.
