'London, Sept. 21.—The Times wlil

patch from Tien-Tsin, dated Septem
ber 21: Wounded officers of the Chinese
fleet donflnm the original report of tloe
engagement on tho 173h Instant. They
say that he Ohhiese fleet arrived at
Yalu river on Che afternoon of the
16th and remained ten miles outside of
the mouth of the river while transports
were unloading. At 11 o’clock on 'the
morning of the 17tih they sighted the
smoke of the Juponeae fleet, which iwua
approaching In nwo columns. The Chi
nese vessels stoini'M out to meet them
In two cotiwntid, converging on the flag
ship. The Jaipa-nse fleet coirslsi'ed of
twelve Ships, while the Chinese hu J ten
ships. Tne Chinese admiral opened fire
at a distance of 6.000 moires, but the
firing on both sides fell short until the
opposing lines came within 6,00 metres
of inch other. The Chinese epdeavored
to come to eftose fluar'.ers, but were
prevented from ancutnpilahlng their
purpose by. the superior speed of the
Jupunse Ahlps, which, keeping for the
most part two miles oft, m vneuvred ad
mirably -asitf made splendid practice
with tine long-runge. (juiek-ui*lng gurat.
“The Chinese cruiser Cbln-Yuen,
Captain Dal Shane, curly tn the day
cioied with one of the eoumte'a ships
with full speed, kitending to ram her.
Whether rammed or torpedoed, Ule
Japanese ..hi turned over and tank.
Four Japtanese vessels then closed
around the Chin-Yuen, and' ahe was
dipped up by abota under the water
line and went down with ail on boil'd,

while the tumtle raged furiously around

devoted their attention especially to the

ed in setting her on fire, but none of
the Chinese officers saw her sink.
•'At 5 o'clock the five Japanese ves
sels suit engaged in the light turned
and lied. The Chinese vessels pursued,
but balled to overtake chcm. Next
morons ithe Japanese flotilla returned

were exactly 'as previously stated. The

up because bo became auspicious of
McDaniel, the Informant, and the oth
er a simple-minded and bormlras sort
of a fellow, who was persuaded by Mc

After the pi ins of the conspirators

that be must not be the loader; that tt
was not the deilre of the railroad or
