Victory for Japan in major naval battle over Corea
The Japanese won a decisive naval engagement Thursday, sinking the Chinese Chen Yuen and capturing or destroying two first class Chinese cruisers. The Chinese fleet suffered heavy losses, with around a thousand men killed and few escaping. Japanese crews demonstrated superior seamanship and torpedo handling, while the Chinese struggled with gun actions. The two captured Chinese cruisers were reportedly built by the Armstrongs for China. The Chen Yuen, a 640 ton battleship, carried heavy armor and multiple guns and torpedoes. An official Japanese statement explains tensions and the sequence leading to hostilities, while German and Spanish papers note broader geopolitical implications and potential threats to the Philippines.
