JAPANESE K DANGER

Attacked by Fanatical Ton Haks, a Stronjr Faction of Coreans. Keinforcernents Hurried from Seoul to Assist the 31 ik ado's Soldiers in Subduing: the Insurrectionists. COWARDICE AMONG CHINESE One Naval Officer to Lose His Head for Not Fighting, And Others to Be Tried for the Same OffensePrizes Offered for Heads of Japanese Soldiers. LONDON, Sept. 27. A dispatch from Yokohama says: The Tong: Haks, a strong religious sect of Corean rebels, have attacked the Japanese troops at Talku, southern Corea. Reinforcements have been sent to the Japanese from Seoul. The Tong Haks constitute one of the most powerful revolutionary elements in Corea. They ascribe the precarious condition of Corean trade and commerce to .the presence of foreigners. The Tong Haks early In the year undertook the task of ridding Corea of foreigners, and threatened the Japanese, as well as people of other nationalities. Last year, Incited by the Tong Haks, 30,000 Coreans threatened to march on the Corean capital and expel the foreigners therefrom. The movement was suppressed, but the feeling which then existed led to the disturbances which eventually brought about the war between China and Japan. The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon publishes a letter from Shanghai, dated Aug. 17, saying that the Chinese navy cannot fight because the ships have only about twelve rounds of ammunition per ship, the regular supply of ammunition having been sold, according to the Pall Mall Gazette's correspondent, by the captains of the Chinese war ships. The correspondent adds that one of these commanders actually sold one of his ship's Armstrong guns, and went to sea one gun short. A dispatch from Shanghai, dated to-day, says: The Chinese naval ofEcers now at Port Arthur and Tien-Tsin are squabbling among themselves as to the responsibility for the terrible Chinese losses in the naval battle off the Yalu. A court of inquiry is sitting and has already found Captain Fong. of the war ship Tsi-Yeun, guilty of cowardice in the face of the enemy. He was condemned to be beheaded, and it is believed that other officers will lose their heads. A telegram from the Kung Taotai, at Port Arthur, received by the commandant at Wei-Hal-Wei, positively accuses the commander of the Chen-Yuen of taking flight, with his vessel before the battle at the first sight of the enemy's smoke. Admiral Ting, who remains at Port Arthur, has also telegraphed to Wei-Hal-Wei, making grave charges against some of his oflicersi TJie Admiral declares that the PlngYtien, the Kuang-Ping and the ChingYuen,' together with four torpedo boats, were up the Yalu river when the battle commenced. There they remained until all the fighting was over. They then sneaked out and made for Port Arthur. Two of these torpedo boats, however, are said to be still missing. The Admiral ad(Ls: "The Japanese developed their plans and delivered their main attack so suddenly that we discovered ourselves to be surrounded and attacked on all sides." The Chinese have asaln endeavored to prevent the transmission of all news relating to the war. Three thousand specially selected troops are on their way down the langtse-Kiang to Join the northern army. A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai says that the Chinese report that the Japanese have been repulsed at both Anju and W iju. . 1IARDAROUS WARFARE. Prize Offered for Japanese Heads Chinese ot Well Trained. VANCOUVER, Ti. C. Sept. 27.-The steamer Empress of India brings the fol lowing advices from Japan and China: In-I human barbarism marks the course of the Chinese army. The Chinese Tao Tal of Formosa offered a prize for Japanese heads. Coreans have been enlUted and three Japanese heads transfixed on spears are reported to grace the walls of Pyong Yang and the heads of five of their foes were nailed to gates of Whang Juan by Chinese. ". The North China Daily News also says that Chinese soldiers at several camps have been threatening lady missionaries with Insult, and trouble will ensue shortly. Eight Japanese cooks who were employed on a French cruiser and who landed recently at Chefoo were Instantly seized by Chinese soldiers and killed. , An eyewitness of the battle at Sakiawah and Asan Etates that the Chinese were not skillful in shooting their bullets, they being directed not hgher than three feet from the ground. They used smokeless powder and most of them were armed with repeating rifles. They seemed, however, to be unaccustomed to the use of the repeating rifle, as when ordered to fire they discharged all seven shots In rapid succession. During the firing of these volleys the Japanese otticers ordered the!r men to lie down on the ground and then rise and rush on the enemy in the intervals while they were loading their rifles. These tactics were successful. The imperial generosity of the Chinese Emperor was characteristically displayed last month. It was deemed politic to reward the extraordinary valor of General Teh and his army, who, it is stated, slew no less than 5,000 Japanese from July 23 to the end of August. The General received, accordingly, gifts consisting of a gem peacock feather holder, a small knife, a pair of large purses and a couple of cider boxes. The common soldiers were by no means overlooked, for. another imperial edict, dated Aug. 29, states that her Majesty, the Empress dowager, being most solicitous about the health of, the army now stationed at Ping Yang, which has to endura heat and various other hardships in lighting battles, desires that chests of preventive pills be handed to Li Hung Chang, who will forward them with the greatest dispatch to General Teh for distribution among the armies. A number of Europeans in the customs have left Canton and gone to Hong Kong in order to serve the imperial government in the war against Japan. Several of these have had torpedo practice in the British navy and are probably intended for similar work In the Chinese fleet. They are promised 150 taels a month during the war and after the conflict are to be reinstated in th customs service if alive. If killed their next of kin will receive four 'years' full pay, 5.4C0 taels. as compensation, guaranteed by the Inspector-general. This is considered ridiculously cheap. The Japanese have stringent orders to "spot and pot" every one of them. Tha rumor that the Chinese have purchased the Chilian navy is again received in Yokohama. This time it is stated the purchase includes two new cruisers built by the Armstrongs, and they ara expected shortly. Crmain Onstow, late commander of the flag ship of the British Asiatic squadron, who was a passenger by the Empress of India en route home on sick leave, says although the Japanese have the best tf the fight he thinks that China will win In the end. Native enthusiasm, he says, in Japan is most intense, and not only are large numbers volunteering for active service, but private subscriptions to a large figure have been contributed by rich and poor alike, the sums being contributed even from the "yoshi waria." or demi monle of the cities. Captain Onstow says Japan's army is one of the best disciplined he ha3 ever seen. OFFICIAL REPORT. Admiral Ito Aceonnt of the Defeat of the Chinese nvy. LONDON. Sept. 27. According to a dispatch from Tokio Admiral Ito, who wa3 in command .of the Japanese fleet during the battle off the mouth of the Yalu river, has sent an officer to make a verbal report of the engagement to the Emperor, who is now at Hiroshima. According to this offlcer's nport, after acting in concert with the army at the Tal-Tong river the principal Japanese squadron, comprising eleven war ships and the packet Salklo

Maru. left this point on Sept. 16. At dawn on the 17th they passed Hai-Yan-Tan and

sighted Takushad bay. In Manchooria. in the forenoon. There they found fourteen Chinese war ships the Ting-Yuen, ChcnYuen, ChinK-Yuen, Chlh-Yuen, Lai-Yuen, King-Yuen. Wl-Yuen. Yang-Wei. ChaoYuen. Kuanj-Kle. Kuang-Ping. Ping-Yuen and two others and six torpedo boats. The Chinese fleet steamed to the mouth of the river In battle formation, and when distant four thousand meters opened fire. The Japanese, fearing that their fire would do little execution at such a distance, waited until within three thousand meters of the Chinese ships, and then brought their guns into play. The Japanese .maintained their line of battle, but the Chinese, after a short time, broke their formation. The action was extremely hot at times. The LaiYuen was frst sunk, stern foremost, and her bows rising, stood for a minute and a half out of water. The Chlh-Yuen was the next vessel to go down, and she was followed in a short time by the Chao-Yuen. Many members of the crews of the sinking vessels clung to the railing as their ship3 settled and cried for help. It was a pitiful sight. The Yang-Wei was next distbled, and then the Japanese packet Saiklo Mam, on board of which was Admiral Kabayana, the head of the naval command bureau, who was making a tour of inspection. Admiral Kabayanas presence was accidental, the meeting of the Chinese vessels by the Japanese fleet being entirely unexpected. Another Story of the Flxlit. LONDON, Sept. 27. A 'dispatch to the Times from Che Foo says: An officer who was present furnishes a description of the Yalu battle. He says that the Ping-Yuen and Kuang-Ping and two gunboats were detached from the Chinese fleet to guard the entrance of the harbor, while the rest of the fleet anchof ed ten ' miles outside. The Ting-Yuen commenced firing at 12:30 o'clock at a range of 5,700 yard3. The concussion of the flrst discharge threw every one off the bridge. While the fleets were getting Into formation the Chao-Yung and the Yang-Wei, which were slow in taking up their stations, were disastrously exposed to the lire. One of them began to burn. On the port wing the TsiYuen and the Kuang-Kai occupied a similar position behind the Chinese line. The Japanese steamed round by the stern at a distance of 5,000 yards and cut off the Tsi-Yuen. The Kuang-Kai, which was as yet keeping touch with the fleet, soon fell back, and nothing more was seen of these two vessels during the action. They escaped unhurt. The Chinese slilp ChihYuen left the line and made for one of the Japanese vessels, which she sunk. The fighting of the second division was irregular and difficult to follow. It ended eventually in the Japanese disappearing in the direction of the island of Hal Yuntia. The Japanese aimed at keeping a long distance away, so as to avail themselves of tlieir superior speed, while making the most , of their quick-ttring guns, in which armament they vastly excelled the Chinese.' The object of the Chinese was to come to close Quarters and use their slowfiring gun.5 of large caliore with full effect. Suddenly the ChlYuen was observed to keel over and a few minutes later to sink, probably from the effect of a cJiance shct trom the enemy's division. The King-Yuen and the Lai-Yuen were seen to be on fire. Tne Chao-Yuen and the Yange-Wei were seen far off towards xhe shore. During the action one of the smaller Japanese ships was seen with her two propellers out of the water and her bow nearly under. Another Japanese vessel was on fire and apparently sinking. The Yoshlno and the Matsushima were burning badly. The former, after receiving two shots each from the Ting-Yuen and the Chon-Yuen, was enveloped In a cloud of white smoke, which lay heavily on the water and completely covered the ship. Whether the Japanese ships received mortal injury or not is uncertain. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon the Ting-Yuen became badly afire forward and the smoke Impeding the working of the fore turret. Before 5 o'clock the Japanese ceased firing. As to the conclusions to be drawn from the battle, it may be said that the. two Chinese battle shlp3 proved to be formidable war machines. They stood the battering of heavy quick-firing gun3 admirably. Their upper structures were severely damaged but no shot penetrated to any vital part. The barbette protection of the twelveinch gun3 was most effective. Very few men were wounded therein, and the two barbette turrets were as intact after the action as before. This, however, coupled with the fact that the six-inch guns and both ends of the shins, which were only slightly protected, were alss undamaged seems to indicate that destructive effect is due to the enormo-us number of projectiles from quick-firing guns rather than to skilled direction and maneuvering! The Japanese, of the first division excited great admiration. Taking adVantage of their speed, and the long range of their gurs. they always kept at a distance which suited them best. They maintained perfect order throughout the fight, attempted nothing sensational, and never came within destructive ranrre"6f the heavi est guns. Of the seven ship3 of the first division five returned. IIEHnERrS REASONS. "Why AVe Have No Xnval Attach on Clilnn or Japanese SIifpN. f WASHINGTON, Sept. 27. Secretary Herbert's attention having been called to criticisms by certain naval officers upon his failure to detail a naval attache to watch the Chlna-J:ipanese war, he has given the foflrowins Incervlew for publication: "What Is the policy of the Navy Department in regard to the sending of naval officers on board Chlno-Japanese vessels to ascertain the status of the war and make observations which would be of benefit to the department? "There is on boird each ship In Asiatic waters an officer designated as intelligence officer. and the admiral commanding tin? fleet was, weeks ago and recently, urjred to b? diligent In collecting information that would be of use to the department. Admiral , Carpenter was instructed to guard American interests, and particularly along the line of military operations. He will be In position; to observe, and he has been directed, if necessary, to detail officers for this purpose and send them on special mis- ' sions to obtain information and ascertain, when practicable, the nature and extent of Injuries received by ships in battle. He was not Instructed to detail officers to go - on bard Chinese or Japanese ships about to ga ir'iD batUe, and it is supposed that if an officer should ask his permission to do so he would refuse the request, as Admiral Urown did when officers of his fleet requested his permission to go upon the vessels of the insurgents in Chilean waters. It would be a rather qrave matter for an admiral to order an officer to go into a bat-, tie In which his country was not immediately concerned w'ely for the purpose of obtaining information which could well be obtained by other means." "Have any officers volunteered for this service and have their requests been.refusedr "No applications have been made. There Is no doubt, . however, that If the Japanese or Chinese governments should extend an invitation, and if it were once made known, that officers would be allowed on board it? war vessels, and that if the department desired to de'iail officers for that purpose, any number of applications would com" forward. It would not be necessary to call for volunteers here. Any numb?r could be fc'octen from ships now in Asiatic waters." "An army officer was recently sent to accompany the Japanese upon a quasi-investi-gation of the Japanese government, was he net?" "Yes; but no such invitation or suggestion as to detailing of an officer of the navy has come from the Japanese or Cninese grovernmnt.
