Yukoiiama, Sept 21. AH Japan is
ttblazu wltb enthusinsui over the vic
tory at Plug Yung. Although The re
ports of tbe desperate fighting tele
graphed from the field Bay tho contest
canuot possibly have beeu a severe one,
tbe losses on the Japanese side are not
reckoned above a levy hundred, killed
and wounded. The Chinese loss is not
kuowu, but a majority are understood
to be prisoners.
Four Chinese generals surrendered,
with all the troops they could control,
as well as tho eulire store of arms and
munitions nud treasure, variously esti
mated as worth from oue hundred to
four hundred thousaud dollars
Yesterday, September 20, while the
excitement caused by the victory was
at fever heat, but meagre news was re
ceived in Tokio of the brilliant naval
success in Coreau waters near tho
mouth of the Yalu river. At a point
35 miles northeast of Hal Y-ug Tao
theJapaueseaud Chinese Heels met,the
latter consisting of eleven metfofwar
nud six torpedo boats. After an en
gagement of several hours the Chinese
tied, leaving four ships sunk aud one
burned. The latter is Raid to have
been destroyed by tbe crow. The Jap
anese fleot Is reported entirely unin
jured. Authentic reports are not yet
at hand.
The Japanese emperor's progress
from Tokio to Ileroshlma, where he
will supervise the army and navy
movements, wps the occasion for an
unprecedented display of loyal enthus
iasm.
Twenty-five years ago the sovereign
of Japan could not be looked upon by
his people. When he passed all heads
were bowed and all bodies prostrated.
His name could not be uttered by tbe
masses. Now be comes aud goes freely,

Washington, Oct. 4. The Japauese
mlulsterof finance has officially an
nounced thut tho war will- not be al
lowed to interrupt the internal tin
pruvement of Japau. Consequently
railway construcliuu Is to proceid with
tho same vigor as in peaceful times.
Tiio minister has arranged so that the
treasury shall keep separate accouuts
of war expenses and thote for internal
improvements-lrj order that tbe former
may not overshadow tho latter. Tbe
late customs house reports in Japan
show that her trade with the United
States is greater than with Any other
power. The total trade last year was
about 4,000,000 yen. British trade,
which comes secoud, is 600,000 yen.
The Japanese people and press are re

puerility, "toupl kau,11 meaning pig

More Ghostly Evidences ot the
Storm Expected.
Jacksonville, Flo., Oct. 4. A spe
cial dispatch from Key West says that
fifty bodies have been washed ashore
ou the islands nround Key West. Tht
dead are evidently sailors, from vessel
destroyed. The probabilities are that
many more ghastly evidences of the
hurricane w.ltl be brought to light with
in a few days.
From alt obtainaole evidence It Is
now believed that this was one of the
worst lu hUtory. It was not only oce
of tbe most t overe In Its character and
effects, but covered probably a larger
area than any other storm of record in
these parts of the Atlantic.

R. Morrison, disappeared In a mys
terious manner. Alter seyorul days a
letter was received from him from thU

Last night a telegram was received
