CHINA IN HARD LUCK.
Her Latest Drubbin- Has Been of the
Most Emphatic Nature.


LoSDoN, Feb. s.-A dispatch from Chico
Foo says the Japanese have carried all
the Chinese possessions at Wei-Hai-Wei
and have captured or sunk the whole Chi
nese northern fleet.
Tho Japanese, during the night of Mon
day night, cleared Wei-Hai-Wei harbor of
all torpcdoes and submarine mines by tho
skillful use of small torpedo boats aud
steam launches from the warships, which
grappled for and cut the wires con-
Meeting tho submarine mines with the
shores
The fleet OF the Japanese torpedo boats
then made n splendid dash for the harbor
and attacked the Chinese fleet with such
skill that the battleship Ting Yuen was
sunk. These tactics were repeated during
the night of Feb. ., and the Chen Yuen,
Lai Nuen and other Chinese warships
were blown up and the remainder of the
Chinese fleet captured.
Following I'D this splendid success tho
Japanese completed the capture of Wei
HaI-WeI yesterday by landing a large
force and Selling the island of Ii Hung
hao, which has made n gallant defense
against the heavy fires. Some of tho
Japanese warships passed Chez Foo carly
this morning and fired a few shots at the
forts without doing any damage, and in
view of the reports curren, regarding the
ieInt attack made upon Mig liai yesterday
the belief grows that the laps are going
to attack Chez Foo.

there Is an intense anti-foroign feeling on
the Shan Iung peninsula, and the Amcri-
can missionaries are fleeing hastily.
CIIEE Foo, Feb. s.-Thc Japanese

from the Japanese commander n Wei
Hal-Wcl announces that tho Chinese war
ships Chen Nucn and Ting Nuen and the
Chinese cruiser Chin Nucu, or La Yuon.
