SHANGHAI, Aug. I.—The battle be twoen the Chinese and Japanese naval forces, which was fought Monday, was a lienv one. The Chinese ironclad mun-of war Chen Yuen, the largest and most re cently built ship in the Chinese navy, was sunk, and two Chinese cruisers, built by the Armstrongs at Klswlck, were captured by the Japanese. The two Chinese cruisers which were captured by the Japanese were the Chin Yuen and Cliing Yueu. It is reported that another cruiser, the Feo Tsching, was also destroyed. The Chinese fleet carried about 1,000 men, most of whom were dr .wued. Among the killed were two Geruiau offi cers attached to the Chen Yuen.

Differences Which Led to the Rup ture Between the Two Countries. YOKOHAMA, Aug. I.—The Japanese government has issued the following offi cial statement: "Japan and China wee approaching a settlement of their difficulties when China suddenly requested Japan to withdraw her fleet from Korea and to give a formal compliance with the Chinese demands by the July 20, otherwise the Chinese forces were to land and a sea advance upon the part of China was to bo made. The Japan ese regarded this as an ultimatum, but, acting under tbe advice of the friendly powers, they agreed to the proposals in principle in amended form, at the same time declaring that if the threatened Chinese advance was made on July 20 it would b regarded as a menace to Japan." fcj i Japanese assert that the claim that the Kow Shing was flying the British llug is unfounded. They also deny with indignation the charges that the officers and crew of the Japanese cruiser that sunk the Kow Shing were brutal in their treat ment of tlia Chinese sailors while strug gling in the water. WAR NEWS AT THE CAPITAL. Much Interest Manifested at the State and Navy Departments. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. —The news of the second naval engagement between the Chinese and Japanese ironclads, with its disastrous results to the Chinese navy, as conveyed by press despatches, .was read with much interest at the state and navy departments and at the foreign legations, but uot one lino of additional news was re ceived here by cable from any source. The seventeen illustrious Mandarins comprising the Chinese legation are still officially ignorant that any differences oi opinion have arisen between the Celestial kingdom and Japan, but the Japanese le gation is kept better informed, or, per haps, is more communicative as to the in formation it receives. The Japanese legation has just received from the Japanese government full tele graphic reports of the first great naval light oil the Korean coast between Japan ese and Chinese men-of-war. It is posi tively stated that the Chinese gave the first provocation, and that the Chinese ironclad rioi Yen, v>hich was ono of the convoy, and which is the most powerful vessel in the Chinese uorthern squadron, lied after the exchange of a few snots. One Chinese man-of-war was captured and one transoort was sunk, as has al ready been stated, but none of the Japan ese vessels was injured, as reported in tele grams from Peking and Shanghai. BRITISH LION HOARS. The Sinking of the How Shing Bo- LONPON, Aug. I.—The Standard de nounces the Japanese for sinking the Kow Shing. It says: "The pietexts lor the war are as flimsy as any ever advanced. If a further and ipore disastrous conflict cannot be prevent ed, it will unquestionably be because the Japanese have resolved upon War and that nothing shall divert them from that policy." The Standard warns the Japanese that if in the earlier stages of the lighting they carry off the honors, there is a patient and resourceful endurance about the Chiucso that is likely to embarrass and tire even a more powerful foe than Japan. It ad vises the Japanese to awake to the proba bility that Europeans will interfere, ad ding that if the report about the Kow Sl ing is true Japun will also have to reckon with Great Britain, which has every reason to assert its position in the most uncompromising manner. The Times says: Such explanations as Japan has put forth are certainly not of the sort that will diminish the ludignu t.ion of China or gain the sympathies of other powers. The Japanese may have real excuses for the action of their sailors; if so, it is high time that they produced them, as the world is getting anxious to know. ENGLAND INTERESTED. VVuntH a Dot a lied Report of the Sink ing oT the Kow Sliing.. LONDON, Aug. I.—Lord Kimberley, sec retary for foreign uffairs, has telegraphed to the British consul at Tien-I.sin for a detailed report of the sinking of the Kow Shing. The British government will probably ask the French government to get the commander of the French gun boat Lion to report on the affair. The officials of tuo Japanese embassy ) ere have telegraphed to Tokio for an ex planation of the Chinese charges that an unresisting transport was blown up. The Chinese embassy here has received no confirmation of the report of a naval engagement on July 80. Some of the dispatches reporting the engagement are dated from Tien-Tain, via Shanghai. The embassy oflicials say that telegraphic communication with Tien-Tsin is at pres ent interrupted. MANNED BY BRITONS. Owners of flic How Shing Claim She Was a British Steamer. LONDON, Aug. 1. —The manager of the Indo-Chinese Steam Navigation company, which owned the steamer Kow Shing, stated that there is no room for doubt that that vessel was in every respect a British steamer, though she was in the Chinese government service. She was manned, they declare, by British officers, and car ried the British flag. Besides the English captain the Kow Shing had four British officers, three of them engineers. The managers of the company say that the action of the Japanese in attacking the vessel was most extraordinary, seeing that their own government was at that time ne gotiating for the charter of steamers. RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. II May Slay in the Air Until the Winter Session. WASHINGTON, Aug. L. —The tariff bill is not the only measure over which there is a deadlock between the houses of congress. The river and harbor bill, which is now in conference, is not only deadlocked, but it is intimated that it may either fail altogether or its further consideration be postponed until next winter. The con ferees on the part of both houses are as usual reticent about what occurs iu the committee | rooms. But tbe fact lias leaked out that the housj conferees have taken a determined stand and flatly in formed their senatorial associates that they will not consent to the increase made in the bill by the upper house. The bill as it passed the house carried an appropriation of $0,500,000 in addition to the $8,500,000 provided for in the sundry bill to continue work under contract. This made the total river and harbor ap propriations for the next two years $lB,- 000,000 in round numbers. The senate in creased the appropriation $3,500,000. The bill has now been in conference for some days, and thus far the senate conferees have yielded only $655,000. This is not enough to satisfy the representatives of the house. They insist that the bill as it passed the house was as liberal a measure us could have been expected, considering the depleted condition of the treasury. THE PULLMAN STRIKE.
