The Chinese army was, the renorti-ays, further re-enforced by 13,0:0 frosh troop-, and attacked the

Japanese, who are said to have lost men and their heavy baggage. The Chinese advanced to HuangChow, and passing too near the Tatumr River, where thirteen Japanese warships lay, were attacked by the Japanese, who opened tire upon them, inflicting a loss of several hundred men upon the Chinese.
