IN CHINA

OU PEI FOU HAS SUFFERED A SERIOUS DEFEAT

General Feng Yuh Siang has put a price on his adversary's head.

The forces
PEKIN, October 30. Ou Pei Fou's forces (about 100,000 men) have been cut off by Tchang Tso Lin between Tien-Tsin and Chang-Hai-Kouan. Part of the troops are in a very bad position and appear to be surrounded. Demoralization is taking hold of his army.

The troops of Tchili, beating a retreat, boarded a steamer yesterday at Chin-Wang-Tao, which the troops of Mukden had not yet reached.
Twenty thousand men of the army of General Ou Pei Fou have arrived at Tongkou by boat.

General Feng Yuh Siang has hastily sent troops to Langfang, where he intends to launch a general attack in the evening on Tchili's army. He issued a proclamation offering a reward of $100,000 for the capture of General Ou Pei Fou and a reward of $50,000 for anyone who would kill him.

In China, Ou Pei Fou suffered a serious defeat
