STRONGLY GUARDED.
Japanese Warship Could Not Capture
the Port OF Wei-Hai-Wei.
Fort Arthur Was Then Attacked.
Fifty Shots Exchanged without Ma
teriai Damagc.l

LONDON, Aug 18.-The Times publishes
dispatch from Tien-Tsin confirming tae
story Of an attack by a Japanese feet upon
the Chinese port of wei-HaiWei and its
repulse.
The Times says that 81 Japanese war
ships and transports made an attempt to
capture Wei Hai-Wei, but found that the
Notifications guarding the pert were too
strong TO allow OF an entrances being forced.
The wsrships attempted TO run the forts,
but were driven back by heavy fire from
the large Armstrong guns that are there
mounted on disappearing carriages.
Finding itself compelled TO draw on out
of range Of the guns, the feet went about
and headed for Port Arthur on the other
side Of the bay, with the evident inten-
tion CT making an attack there. When the
feet arrived nc Port Arthur, that place
was found 90 be also prepared 20 resist an
an attack. The warshps fired few shets
at the forts and were promptly answered,
and then ali the 1est departed.
Japanese Attack Rspuised.
The Japanese squadron that attacked
Wei-Hai- Wei Friday consisted OF 20 yes-
sells 10 is not definitely known how
many Of the fest were men-of-war. The
warships drew up in line of battle OF the
port, and opened FIRE early Friday morn
ing. There were no Chinese warships In the
vicinity, and The engagement was entirely
between the Japanese men-of-war and the
forts. The whereabouts of the Chinese
neet was unknown. The forts, however,
were able, without much difficulty, TO re-
pulse the attack.
About so shots were exchanged but no
material damage was done on either side.
The soldiers manning the guns of the forti-
fications showed themselves TO be lamenta
bly, deficient in markmanshir. Most all
of their shots were ill-directed, the shells
either falling short of the vessels aimed at
or going wide Of their marks.
When tho feet withdrew it proceeded to
Pert Arthur, which place it attacked Fri
day evoaing. Little, II any, damage is re-
ported 10 have been done at this place.
The operations are regarded as having
been not attempts to capture either Wei
Hai-Wei or Pert Arthur, but simply ruses
on the part OF the Japanese commander to
ascertain tho exsct positaen ard strength
of the Chinese guns at the two places
On Thursday last two small Chinese
gunbeats wers sighted going at full speed
IN the direction OF Tien-Tsin.
