Reports OF Fighting Confirmed.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The government has
received dispatch confirming the an
houncemcnts of further fighting between
she Chinese and Japanese. The govern
ment adviccs say that the japanese were
making an attack upon the important
naval station at Wei Hal Wei, but no de
tails were given. Tho reported attack upon
Port Hamilton is regarded here as to I'M
loudtcdly mean Port Arthur, which is a
Chinese naval port facing Wei Hal Wei.
1t is pointed out however, that the Japan
csc fleet might, by a division of forces,
arrange a simultaneous attack upon both
naval strongholds.

JAPANESE REFUSED.

and Suffer Defeat.
SHANGHAI, Aug. ia dispatch received
here from Choo-FOo, says that the Jap; l.
csc attacked Fort Hamilton port Arthur)
Friday morning and were rcpulscd.
A special dispatch from Chce-Foo con
firms the report that the japanese fleet ut
tackled the Chinese n0et at Wci-IIa-Wci
Friday morning, and that the former We're
rcpulsCd at one entrance of the harbor M.
subsequently, attacked the other entrance.
THE special dispatch says that the Japa =
csc made u daring attempt to capture t D.,
forts and arsenal at Wei Hai-Wei. T O
Japanese attacked in force, four cruise IS
and several smaller vessels heading the
advance The first shots were exchanged
at daylight, But the Chinese were on the
alert, and their gunncrs returned vigor-
Gus fire from tho forts.
The japanese apparently expected to
take the Chinese by surprise, while the
latter's warships were away as the Chi
ncsc squadron, with the exception of few
gunboats and torpedo vessels, sailed the
day before for another port. But the gun
boats and forts kept up such a we'll
directed fire that tho Japanese We're I'M
able to enter the hnrbor. Tho Chinese
tordedo boats were then ordered to ad-
vance. and when they did so the Jap
ancsc fleet retired. Later the same
feet OF Japanse vessels began an attack on
the other entrances Of the harbor. The
result of this second attack was not known
when the special dispatch was sent.

CHINA'S HARD LUCK.
New Rifle Factory and Steel Works
Burned by lncendiary.
A Mob Destroys an American Chur b Near
canton-An Outrage.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-The City OF
Pekin brings the news of great confia-
grafton in China which almost amounted
to a national misfortune. just at this
time when China needs all the improved
arms she can secure, it is very unfortunate
that the new rife factory and steel and
iron works established by the viceroy,
Chang Chilling, of Hu-Kuang, at Nan
Yang, should be destroyed by an incen-
diary fire. The loss will amount to 81 ,0OO,-
900. The incendiaries are thought to be
coolies who had been severely punished by
the officials IN charge of the works.
The steamer City of Pekin brings details
of the destruction of the American Pres
bytcrian church at Skuklung, near Can
ton, the mention of which was contained
in the Oriental mail. 1t seems that anti
missional riots began in the prefectural
town Of r ung- Kan, in June, as the plac-
ards posted up contained vile charges
against Christians.
The Work of the Mob.
The mob appeared in Shuk-Lung on
June - and pulled down the church.
Luckily all the missionaries escaped but n
Chinese convert, Kaing Lap, who was
overtakcn, beaten to death and his body
thrown into the river. Several Christian
families in the vicinity were subjected to
indignitics and robbery. Some soldiers
then appeared on the scene and affected
the arrest of two rioters. The next point
Of attack was the Roman Catholic church.
Those inside the church fired at the mob
and held them at bay for some time. At
this juncture d squad came and dispersed
the mob, thus saving the building from
sharing the same fate as the American
church.
On Juno 81 the church at Sam Kong, a
village Of Tsan Shing, was sacked, and n
girl aged 10, belonging to a native preach
crs' family, was carried away. Forum
atcly in the middle of the night the Chris
tian brethren were able to secretly open
the door Of The house whore the girl had
been taken, allowing tho captive girl to be
conveyed safely to Canton. it'f %''t
