China and Japan.
The Japanesed attacked Newchang at daylight, and after desperate fighting the town was taken. In the street fighting at New* cbwang, the Chinese officers and men displayed desperate valour, and stubborn hand-to-hand fighting took place from every bouse. Ths fight lasted 13 hours, and the Japanese lost 800 killed. The Japanese repulsed an advanoof 10,000 Chinese troops on Ta« Ping Shang. In the engagement at Newchwang, the Japanese made two attacks almost simultaneously, and the shells falling among the defenders the walls were soon abandoned. The Japanese have captured Yungkow, a port of Newohwang, after heavy fighting. An official view here is that the prospects of peace are favourable. Li Hung Chang's departure for China has been delayed for a week, at the request of the Japanese. The Japanese guarantee the safety of the Europeans and Americans in YnngEou. The Japanese troops have occupied Kohan.
