 LONDON, August 2O.-A dispatch from Shanghai says the Chinese there are suffering from a spy mania that has developed among Chinese officials. All vessels arriving at Too-Sung river are boarded by Chinese naval officers and searched for spies and contraband muni- tions of war. Two prominent Japanese have been arrested within the French | concession on an unfounded charge of. spying. They are still detained for trial. The dispatch further states that a number of Englishmen and Scotchnen have been obliged to leave the arsenal at Wei-HaiWei, owing to the war. They | had been fired at by the Chinese guards | and some of them would undoubtedly | have been killed. had it not been for the | protection afforded them by Chinese | officers. 1t IS added that on three suc- cessive nights Japanese torpedo boats forced the boom guarding the water en- trance to Wei-Hsi-Wei. They either evaded or countsrmined the torpedo that had been laid by the Chinese, and | effected an entrance to the ports, the waters of which had heretofore been supposed to be impregnable. The Jap anese did not engage the forts. as it was | said that they were in search of informa- tion as to the lines to be followed in the event of it being decided to make an st tack in force upon the place. Sickness prevails in both the Chinese and Japan ese armies.
