WASI11NGTO Dec. 21.-\Vhuio : the ChI
flee mall , which has jusllrrived II the Navy
departmcnt , fated ! . to bring nny news or the
' ( events which hall11ened ) II Port Arthur duro
Ing the occupation of that stronghold by the
Japanese , It did InclUle ( the ( frst reports
which have yet reachCI the Ilcllartnent from
Its Intellgcnce olcers lt the scat or war
touching the great naval ngagement nl the
foot or the Yliu river October 30 last. The
11nl olcer' reports eonnrm In every re-
spect the press dispatches publsh cd soon
after the battle , and perhaps the most shg-
nilclnt portons relnte to the battleships of
the Chinese as oPllosell ) ) to the Japanese cruis-
; . cr8. In substance they show that the heavily I
armored vessels were practically unlnjl'ell
by the Japanese fre , and as this fact tends
strongly to bear out the arguments In favor
of the battleship ns against the cruiser ns
set out In n report to the secretary or the
navy to congress without doubt the reports
will Lo exhlbll' to the house nll'al cornca
m'tee , In connection with the pending pro po.
Ellen for the construction oC three more
battleships. These reports described the
formation of the opposing shillS In line of
battio. I Is said that after the acton corn-
lenced the Chinese were unable to mnJe
signals on account of the shooting away oC
halyurds , etc" , uli ( therefore no tactical ova-
lutons were performed by them , each vessel
maneuvering indepeiitiently. 'fhe Japanese ,
however , slgnnlelJ throughout the acton antI
maneuvered In concert. The Japanese opened
fire at 3,000 yards , using their rnpl.l.nre guns I
to great advantage , anti Ieeplnr up a rapid
fire. The nro of the Chinese throughout
the action was much slower all their shootfr
Inr hIgh. The Japanese fire directed against
the two battleships Is said 10 have beer :
terrific , the Chcn-Yuen being hit about 400
b limes alI catching lire several times , whlo
the Tlng.Yuen was badly set on fire for-
, yard. The fire was extinguished with diAl -
culty. The Chen- Yuen gallantly placed her
self between the Japanese vessels and the t
Tlng-Yuen , taking the fro of the fleet , whie
her flagship extinguished the flames. The :
main Japanese squadron continued the action
wlh the battleships , but although their ire
jectes hit time nli again the fourteen-Inch i
armor was more than n match for the Japan
ese lght grniH. The loss consisted or tel I
officers and sixty men killed and GOO or ni I
ranks injuretE the 1atshumn , Hyeo ant 1
Almgl sustaining the most severe damages
The Chinese loss consisted of the folowing
named vessels : Sunk or destroyed : Ln Yuen ,
- bolted cruiser of 2,800 tons : Chili ( or Chin )
_ ) Yuen , n protected cruiser or 2,300 tons : Yang
'Vel , protected cruiser oC 1.300 tons , and I
Chao-Yuen , her sister ,8hlp , The Plug-Yuen ,
Chen-Yucn and Tlng-Yuen suffered much ;
from fire. The Chinese loss In officers and 1
men Is unknown , but I Is not thought that
any were picked up from the three ships :
that were sunk In action.

Senator O'Connor today denied that he had ] l
asserted that Mr G'hnd bulldozed nnd
Intmidated I witnesses before the LexQw coIls
mittee . In speaking of the proposed con -
tnunton ot the committee Senator O'Connor
said : "The police department of New Von ]
Is i rotten to the very foundation , and I should
b the last to oppose the continuance of this
committee. "
That there Is some discord between Counsel 1
Golf and the committee , however , Is a conceded -
ceded fact ; and that that dissension Is over the
qust10n as 10 why Superlntendent.yrnes nnd
other officials hnve not been called to tom i
tCy Is not denied I 1 also believed that a
mlsunderstnndlng exists between Dr. Park , : -
hurst and Mr. Golf with relation 10 the pro
priety of summoning Superintendent Dyrnes
before the Coinltilttee . With reference to this
matter Counsel Gaff's assistant , Mr. Jerome 1 ,
said that It was one thing 10 put a man In I
the witness chair , and another to get suit I-
dent proof against him to attain any good
results. tie lhought , however , that SuperIntendent -
Intendent Uyrnes and Commissioner Martn
