THE CHEMULPO FIGHT.
A special Reuter telegram to the Straits Times rays:-
Captain Bayley, of H.M.S. Talbot, has written a most interesting account of the naval fight at Chomulpo. He says that, of the 150 men employed on the Varjag's upper deck, 42 were killed and 68 wounded. The Vuryag'è guns were unprovided with shields. The gunners were thus unprotected. The Japanese mainly used shrapnel shells. The boats, funnels, and everything in the way on the Varyag were riddled. Only four guns were disabled. One twelve-pounder was knocked clean across the deck. A quantity of cartridges which ignited on dock harmed two men to death. One ammunition-hoist falling down with clothes WAN afire. Altogether Siva fires broke out, of which four were extinguished.

Splinters of the shell braised his cheek.

Many were wounded by inexplicable pauctures, each of the size of the top of the little finger, from a quarter of an inch to an inch deep; not containing foreign substances and not showing signs of external scorching, Nobody in the conning-tower was hurt. All was quiet in the Varyag as though target-practice was proceeding.

Shortly after one o'clock yesterday morning the fire-bell rang, summoning the Fire Brigade to Bonham Strand West, where an outbreak had occurred in the bailing forming No. 1 in that street and extending through to Winglok Street, No. 165. The Brigade under Mr. E. R Hallitur was speedily on the scene, this hoses coupled and the engine set to work to pump water from the Praye.
