JAPS TWICE DRIVEN BAC Attacks on Chinese Arsenals Vigorously Re- pulsed by the dnrrisons. SHANGHAT, Aug. 11.=The following tele- am has been received frem Che Foo dated August 10: A Japaness fleet attacked a Chinéee fleet this morning off the harbor of Wei-Hal-Wel, where the Chinese have a fort said to be impregnable. The Japaness ships were repulsed at one entrance to the harbor, and they are ne attacking the other entrance, A speelal dispateh today confirms this re- port. The dispatch says that the Japancse made an attempt to secure the forts and arsenal at Wel-Hal-Wel. The Japanese at- tacked with a for of four war vessels. Shots were exchanged at daylight, but the Chinese were on the alert and their gunners returned a vigorous fire from the forts. The Japanese apparently expeeted to taks the Chinese by surprise, whiie the latter's war ships were away, the Chinese squadron, with the exception of some small gunboats and a torpedo vessel, having sailed the day be- fore for another port. But the gunboats and forts kept up such a well directed fire that the Japanese were unable to enter the harbor. The Chinese torpedo boats were ordered to advance, and when they did so the Japanese fleet retired. ‘The same fleet of Japanese vessels attacked the harbor en- trance later in the day, but the result of this second attack was not known when th speclal dispatch was sent. Another dispatch from Che Foo says that the Japanese attacked Port Hamilton (Port Arthur) yesterday evening and were re- pulsed. Fuller dispatches recelved today say that the second attempt of the Japanese fleet upon Wel-Hal-Wel has been defeated. This afternoon a report was rec:ived that the Pei-Yang fleet Is now engaged with a Japanese fleet, and that a stubborn battle is being fought. Twenty-one ships are tak- ing part in this fight. The Japanese have .expelied the Corean operators from all the telegraph offices in Southern Corea and have placed their own operators In charge. It is computed that China will have 60,000 troops in Corea by the end of Sept:mber. JAPS MARCHING ON SEOUL. LONDON, Aug. 11.—Thé government has received a dispatch confirming the announce- ment of further fighting between the Chinese and Japanese. The advices say that the Japanese were making an attack upon the important naval stations at Wei-Hai- Wel, but no details were given. The corrcspondent of the Times telegraphs from Shanghai that 12,000 Japanese troops from Feusan and 8,000 from Yunson are narching toward Seoul, the of Corea, The Times yesterday published a dispatch from Tien-Tstn, China, stating that the re- port circulated to the effcct that Viceroy Li Hung Chang’s rank and privileges had been reduced by the imperial.command was en- tirely unfounded. The dfspatch also stated that there was no truth®n the report cir- culated from the same scurce that General Yeh had been Killed in the battle fought at Yashan, and that it was untrue that the Chinese cruiser Kwangui had been sunk. The Times this morning commenting on these bogus reports as reviewed by its Tien-Tsin dispatch says: “All these dis- asters would probebly have occurred fn any well rcgulated war. But it is not quite cor- tain at which end of the telegraph wire the war as it ought to be is carried on Those who want to know what is really going on at the other end of the world would do well to exercise some care in selecting their sources of information.

Just at this time, when China needs all the improved arms she can secure, it is very unfortunate for her that the new rifle factory and steel and iron works estab- lished by the viceroy at Hun Yang should b destroyed by an incendlary fire. The loss will amount to $1,000,000. The incendiaries are thought to be coolles who had been s verely punished by the officials In charge of the works. About 4 o'clock fn thé morning an alarm of fire was turned in, and the first on the spot found the building, containing the rifle making machinery in a full blaze from one nd to the other.'Tho-flames had such a hold that it was found impbssible to enter the building, and all efforts had to b: confined to the saving of the forge and adjacent buildings. In the short space of four hours the whole of the rifle factory was in a heap of ruins. The iron room, which. was upheld by wooden supports, was soon burned through, and it came down with a grash, burying the whole of the machinery, It s doubtful whetler the viceroy will have pluck enough to start to rebuild the factory, and 1t is akso’ thought he will be unable to ralse funds to make reparation No C hinamen Leaving Chi SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.—The ste ship City of Peking, from Hong Kong Yokohama, did not brjug a single Chin passenger on board, There were only a few Japanese.

He states that it Is almost Impos- sible to obtain any rellable Information from the Japanese papers, as the gov ment allows very little news of Importance to be published, and what the government dees allow to beeome public Is too one-sided to be reliable.
