The battle was commenced with an intense artillery bombardiment of the Chinese positions which caused many casualties among the Chinese defenders. In- fantry attacks broke down and then the Japanese at- tempted to force the pass by a series of cavalry charges.
None of these rushes was successful, the Chinese pouring a murderous fire into the attacking forces and beating off each attack leaving many Japanese corpses on the hillsides.--Reuter.

Blake Pier and the Douglas Pier NEW SIMON
shortly after 9 o'clock this morn- ing, the strong tide which was running carried the stern of the vessel against the end of Blake Pier. The stern atarboard side fouled the end of the Pier, break- ing off one of the capstans and crushing two of the planks on the right-hand corner. The rails were also badly buckled. The vessel was undamaged, and berthed about fifteen minutes later. The Captain told a Telegraph repre- sentative that the ship was carry- ing little cargo at the time and the wind and strong tide caused the stern to swing in landwards.
