BACK FROM THE WAR Return of One of the Commanders of a Chinese War Ship NEW YORK. May I.—Commander P. M. McGiffen, who had command of the Chinese ironclad Chin Yuen at the battle of Yalu, arrived here from Liverpool and is stopping at the Astor House. The commander received a number of wounds in the light, and is still somewhat deaf He has a tattered uniform of the Chinese navy which he wore on the Chin Yuen during tho naval battle. He says il was a stubborn fight, and was lost to tbe Chi nese chiefly because they had no shells to use except iron ones. The Japanese wero well supplied with shells, which did great execution. The Chinese shot passed through tbe enemy's ships with out doing any great damage. The com mander Believes the Chinese seamen arc brave and skillful, and would make good lighters if they could only trust their leaders. Tbo Chinese gunners fired as true as the Japanese, but did not do so much damage on account of the quality of the shot. The commander had some very narrow escapes during the Yalu battle. At one time he was directly in front of the mouth of a twelve-inch gun on his ship as the gunner was swinging it into place to lire, lie closed bis eyes and waited for certain death, lie opened them in a few seconds ami rolled off tbe superstructure just before tbe gun went oft. The com mander carries two wounds in his left thigh and another over his abdomen from fragments of shell. Commodore l/in was supposed to be in command, but was down in his room praying to tho gods to preserve him. The commander will goto his homo at Washington. Pa.j in v few days. He did not come by the Pacific, as the Japanese had a reward of (6000 stan ding for him, dead or alive. McGiffen has been in the Chinese naval service for twelve years. He founded the naval in stitute at Wei-Hai-Woi, ami did consider able surveying in Corea. When Baby was sfelr, we gars her Castoria. When she was a Child, 3ho cried for Castoria.

A REGULAR TRANSACTION New Facts Regarding; the Reputed Wheat Deal NEW YORK, May I.—Ship brokers at this port seem rather skeptical concern ing the report that tlie Pair wheat will be removed to Liverpool direct by sea.

Though the rate lias risen to 81 shillings for cargoes to Liverpool from San Fran cisco, it will have liltlo effect on New York shipping, as the rates offered will by no means tempt owners to send their vessels around the Horn, it is said by some of tliu brokers that no vessels will leave here in ballast for San Francisco until the rate is at least 45 shillings, or thereabouts.
