VIVID STORY OF CHEMULPO BATTLE American Bishop Describes the Gallant Fight Made by Russians Against Great Odds. CINCINNATI, O., March 16. Bishop Moore of the Methodist church witnessed the naval fight between ths Russians and Japanese at Chemulpo and he vividly describes tbe clash in a letter to the Post. The bishop left Shanghai on ary 6th on a Russlon liner which anchored on the morning of the 8th at Chemulpo near the Russian cruisers Yariag and Korietx. Not a Japanese ship was in sight then, but at 4 o'clock next day twelve Japanese ships steamed in and anchored and three thousand troops were landed. Six cruisers and torpedo boats then withdrew to a distance of eight miles and formed a line across the channel. On the 9th the Japanese consul notified the Russians to leave the harbor and the ships stripped for action and at noon sailed out. "Shortly after," aaya the bishop, the roar of battle began. Fifteen minutes we thought would suffice to end the unequal combat, but the earth and sea shook under the awful thunder of the guns for nearly an hour when the Russian ships, unable to break through but swung surrender, scorning around and steamed back to anchorage with flags flying. "Sure of their prey the Japanese resumed their station in the roadstead, blocking the only channel. The Varlag was evidently badly to listed to port The Korlets damaged was apparently uninjured. We hastened to row out to the Korlets but saw no scars though the sailors were putting paint on the hull as if to conceal them. We asked an officer with a bandaged head how he had fared and replied that they had no chance; that at 4 o'clock the ship would go up. The Varlag was evidently sinking. The ship was mortally wounded amidships, with a huge rent In the upper works .two funnels riddled and the bridge a mass of twisted Iron. .A lieutenant on the bridge was torn to pieces and hls right arm was found holding the signal flag.
