NKW YOHK, .Inly 'JS.—The Herald's Slianyhiti dispatch says: Tito Chinoso transports sunk ofY the Curcim const by Jupnnse tfims WUmjjvd to the Heel, of eleven steamers which sailed from Talni on Friday, .lulyUO, with l'J,ODD troops. The ileet left Taku under an escort of gvnboats. The majority of the transports proceeded slowly with the (funboats, while the faster ones steamed at full speed so us to land their troops as soon as possible. On the transports which arrived first at the Corean coast were a few hundred soldiers from the army of the north most of the force, however, consisted of coolies with inferior firearms, or merely bows and arrows. The attack upon the steamers by the Japanese, which took place last

Wednesday, is described brieUv in a dispatch received from Ne^asnki. The tiriny was begun by a Japanese battery on the shore while the Chinese otticers were trying to debark their men from the first, steamer. The cruisers then steamed up and opened fire on all the transports uhich were lying to. waiting to diseliu.rge the men. The Chinese were unable to make any effective resistance. They were thrown into great confusion and many jumped overboard to escape, th.* hot fire under which two transports suffered severely.

Confirmed.

LONDON, Julv --Hugh Mathicson Co., the Chinese government agents in Kngland. have received cable messages which confirm the announcement of the declaration of war. That war has actually begun is

nvv

generally

believed. Neither the Chinese nor the lapanese minister have received confirmatory advices. In fact both ministers say they have, not

been ollicialiy 111'fnrmed that war has been declared. They claim that the only information tiiey have on the subject is (It-rivi-fl from press dispatches. The ministers also claim to lie ignorant of anything which would tend to eontirm the report that the Japanese have captured the king of ("orea. t-'ugliiiul Kyiiiput hlzcs \ii!h ('Mini.

The Associated Press correspondent finds that the consensus of opinion in Loudon shows that England is in sympathy with hina. This is owing mainly to Russia's active wish to see Japan successful, and thus form a barrier to England's progress in the far east.

American Troup* l.itntlcil.

Very little accurate news is obtainable liere from Seoul. 11 is known, however, that the British and United States warships at Chemulpo have landed detachments of marines, which have been sent to Seoul in order to protect the respective legations of dreat Britaiil and the United States. At Seoul a conflict is said to have taken place between the Japanese and some Chinese and C'orean soldiers, the.lapanese being victorious. Shortly afterward the Japanese, made a prisoner of the king of Corea, aud it is said they have either sent him or intenJ to send him to Japan, where he will be detained until the war is over.

The Klilff'H Cnplurc Confirmed.' WASHINGTON, July -.i*.—The king of Corea is a Japanese prisoner. This was the importantstatement contained in a telegram dated Thursday which Secretary Herbert has received from Capt. Day, of the I'nited States steamship Baltimore, now at. Chemulpo. Corea. Capt. Day, besides stating that the king of Corea is a captive In the hands of the Japanese, reported that he had dispatched a force of marines from his ship to Seoul, the capital, to protect the United States legation.

Think CI1I1111 Will Win.

TIEN-TSIN, July US. --The gravity of the situation is fully realized here, now that hostilities between China and Japan have commenced. While no formal declaration of war. according to the usual diplomatic forms, lias been made, either at Tokio or at Pekin. the governments of both countries rtjeogni/.c that an actual state of war exists and more collisions between the forces of the two countries are expected hourly. Considerable anxiety is expressed here as to the result of the war. The general opinion seems to be that while Japan may be looked upon as likely to score the first victories the Chinese troops ivill eventually drive the the Japanese out of Corea, even if millions of men have to be sent to the front to do so. Negotiations arc still in progress and there is a vague chance yet that in i.pite of the commencement of hostilities some amicable arrangements may he arrived at.

WASUINO ION, July 28.—The senato at 1) o'clock Friday afternoon, after a week of speeches, agreed to tho further conference on tho tariff bill asked by the house of representatives. 1'he test of strength came on Senator Washburn's motion that the senate recede from that portion of tho siiffar amendment placinga ditferenllal of one-eighth of a cent ou sugars above Xo. 10 Dutch standard. After un hour and a half of debute on tho pending points of order the president pro tem., Senator Harris, who was in the chair In tho absence of Vice President Stevenson, sustained the point of order and ruled the motion out. The decision was immediately appealed from and motion made to lay the latter motion on the table. Doth motions resulted in a tie vote, Senator I [ill and the populists acting with the republicans In the effort to get a diroot vote of the senate ou Senator Washburn's motion. InltMine exoitement prevailed, owing to the closeness of the vote. In case of a tie tho motion is lost according to parliamenturi' law.

Washburn'* Motion IR I.OHY. The failure to sustain the chair on the appeal brought the senate- to the direct vote on the Washburn motion. Upon the result hinged, perhaps, the fute of tho meoBuro. Mut, though the republicans scored the victory in securing the vote on the one-eighth differential. It developed that they had no reserve strength and the vote ou the Washburn motion also resulted in a tie. and consequently was lost. All the democrats save Senators 11111 and Irby, who wero paired in favor of strlklno- out the oneeighth differential, stood by the oauous agreement and voted against the motion. The rspubllcans presented solid front. Tne three populists aoted throughout with the republican#.

Suut BHCU to CouXorcuoo.

After these votes no attempt was made to delay matters, ami the resolution to agree to further oonferenoe was agreed to without division. The chair thou appointed tho conferrees, Senutors Voorhees, Jones, Vest, Harris, Sherman, Allison and Aldl'loh, and the senate, after transacting a little routiue business, adjourned till Monday.

Souio Speculation.

The general impression about the senate is that the conferoueo now agreed on will not be so prolonged as the former one. Senators are of the opinion that the committee either will agree (in a report within two or three days after the sittings begin or within that time decide to report another disagreement. The preponderence of opinion is, however, thut there will not be another report of disagreement. In fact the dcmon-atic conferrees assert that another disagreement means the defeat of t4ie bill. The indications all point to the probability that the sugar schedule again will lie the principal point of contention u:id that but for the differences on this point an agreement would be reached after a very brief sitting.
