GA., MONDAY MORNING,- FEBRUARY 4, 1895 Hintfl* (Jopjr,5 C«au I ME WIN Tho last Stronghold at Hai-Wei Cap- lured After a Terrific Fight. THE CHINESE ENVOYS SENT HOME 'They Were FowtrltM to Conduct Bind ing Negotiation*, and the Japanese Government Refused to Trent With Them, Londcta, Feb, 3.—A dispatch sent today by the Central Nevra correspondent in Chofoo eay: “The Japanese bare captnred the island of LingrKung-Tau, the last stronghold of the Chinese at Wei-Hai-Wai. The bombardment was terrific and lasted for hours. The Chinese answered it with unusual spirit, but many of their guns were disabled early in the engagement. Toward tho close of the bom bardment six Japanese shipe landed marines who captured the batteries. The fighting was severe and many were killed and wounded on ' each side. As this dispatch is sent, the two fleets are hotly engaged." Tbe Central Nows correspondent in Hiro shima telegraphs under today’s date: “Premier Count Ito and Viscount Nutsu, minister of foreign affairs, had a second inter view with China’s peaco envoys yesterday afternood. The main object of tbe meeting was to exchange credentials. Tho ministers found tho credentials of the envoys to be very imperfect, and to leave them absolutely pow erless to canduct binding negotiations. They refused at once to continue negotiations and requested the envoys to leave their country as soon as possible. The envoys will sail tomor row on tho steamship Owarimaru for Nagas aki, where they will await the arrival of the mail steamship for China. They will be ac companied until they depart by the inspector general of police and several assistant in spectors, who will prevent any hostile demon stration on the part of tho people.” The preliminary resolution to approve all war expenditures, regardless of amount and date, is prefaced with t'he declaration that tho objects of the war havo not been realized. The Central News correspondent in Wei- Hai-Woi wires undor tho date of Fen- rU “5Lo Chinese warships wero much dami vjJ in yesterday’s fight. After the Paichiyaso forts capitulated, the Japanese turned tho captured guns against the Chinese war ships, hitting them repeatedly and forcing them to change their position. A violent snow storm in the afternoon of January 81 compelled the Japanese fleet to remain in active, and thus frustrated the Japanese plan to bring on a general naval engagement. The Japanese still hold tho entrance to tbe b A b Central News dispatch sent from Hai- Chongon Friday says that Viceroy Liu Kuug Ti has arrived at New Chwang and will assume supreme command of the Chinese operations in Manchuria Gen. Nodsu, tho Japanese commander, expects to be attacked tomorrow or Tuesday. His spies roport that there are about 60,000 Chinese troops in the neighbor hood of Yeng-Kow and Now Chwang. The Paris edition of tho Herald will publish a dispatch to the following ef fect concerning the reception of tha-XSiln- ese peace envoys: “The Chinese envoys declare that they were Ignorant that their credentials were defective, and their government played a trick. It assured thorn that it fiad be stowed on them full powers, yet the doc uments, did not state the subject of the negotiations, and the envoyawouldhavo been compelled to refer everything to Pe kin. Premier Ito remarked that China could not bo very desirous of peace, to say nothing of the slight on Japan. Tho latter would be willing to reopen negotia tions, however, when an embassy with full powers should bo sent.” "The dispatch from Hiroshima stating that the Chinese peace envoys had been -«nt back under escort because of tho Insufficiency of tho credentials exactly accords with anticipatory advices re ceived by Mlnlsted Kurlno, the Japanese minister to tho United States. It has been the expressed opinion at the Japan ese legation from the start that the Chin ese government was simply pursuing its customary policy of delay In this mat ter. Their first attempt was to place Ja pan In tho attitude of suing for peace by giving the proposition made at tho sug gestion of tho United States by Minister Dun at Toklo precedence over the propo sition made by Minister Denby at Pekin. This subterfuge being rejected, and Ja pan Insisting that China must take the lnttatlve In asking for peace, China next requested an armistice. This being re fused on the 8th of December, China ap pointed Chang Hln Huan and Sbao, gov ernor of Formosa, as peace envoys. Ja pan served formal notice on China that unless these ministers came accredited with plenipotentiary powers they would not be received, end for tho time being Japan, in the Interest of a peaceful set tlement, waived Its objection to tho per sonality of Shao, who had set a price on the head of every Japanese captured or slain. Although the Chinese envoys were appointed on the 8$h of December, It was not until the 7th of January that Chang Hln lluan took leave of tho emperor and started on his mission. In tho meantlmo came the selection of ex-See rotary J. W, Foster as advisory counsel. This again was looked upon by Japan as an attempt at delay. It was apparent that Mr. Fos ter could not be- admitted to the peace negotiations except In the capacity of a secretary to one of the Chinese envoys, and that was a position his high rank as a diplomat and an ex-secretary of the United 8tates would of necessity de bar him from taking. . Two.months ago Count Ito, Count "fnonye and Field Marshal Yamagata ■were all In favor of peace upon tho basis of an Indemnity and the recognition of tho Independence of Korea. Now It Is said these terms will be Imposed and tjrat Japan will exact a session of terri tory. Just here, as viewed by experienced dip lomats of other legations than the Japa nese, the element of danger comes In. There Is nothing now left for the Japa nese to do but pursue their advantages until eventually Pekin falls Info their hands. The Inevitable results of this. It Is thought, will be the fall of this dynas ty. Then there will be no one to treat for peace, and complications will occur which will threaten the total dismem berment of the Chinese empire and In volve the almost certain Intervention ot European powers. The outcome of such a complication would be difficult to fore see. and Its complication la giving much uneasiness In diplomatic circles here, dentally.shot a onOva on Friday and vwis overpowered and carried off by other natives. An armed .force wan sent to.rescue the party. Nothing further was known of tho affair when the dispatch left CbJn-Krang. THREE THOUSAND PRISONERS In Belem Prison, -Mexico, Como Very -Near Escaping. City of Mexico, Feb. 3.—Tho three thousand prisoners in Belem -prison - would tovo been (free but for the .t'-mely discovery of a tunnel. Patient search for -the suspected outlet tvps reworded yesterday t>y finding on entrance to the tunnel close to tho school room. At a depth of three yards to .the right of the tunnel 'tho foundation upon which rests the walls of tho gallary where the condemned, 800 In number, arc coafiehd. had been cut (through. The subterranean .passigo was thence con tinued tcwnnl tho loft, some forty-one yards also perforating the foundations of other walls built of sandstone. Tho underground works were continued" to the -loft where some more foundations equally ns thick ns the former were en countered. Thfl found-anions sustain the weight of the walls that lodge the hundreds of prisoners tha t are awaiting trial. Tbe skill displayed In the en gineering feat, which fortunately mis carried, is wonderful, arid a, few months of labor would havo placed tho pris oners ta communication whit the- streets Three thousand criminate would havo been free, as tke/tubudl passed under Itho depafitiaemls of tho prisons so that -It cpuld have boon reached toy digging ft few foot beneath -tho floors of the vurlous wands. Tho prisoners, under pretense of attending night school, ha-vo toeon at 'work on the great -tunnel for a ipostfon of two years, work ing secretly, in regular shifts. Tho con ception of -the mammoth and daring un dertaking Is due to a desperate criminal named Joso Vicente, who was under sentence of death but .who waa shot some time ego, before his datoorate scheme for .the salvation of himself and comrades could bo put into effect. THE HOUSE BANKING BIEL Not Satisfactory to the President Washington, Feb. 3.—It Is said that the administration Is not entirely sat isfied with the provisions of the cur rency and banking bill, as reported to tho house toy file committee last Fri day. The section relating to the re tirement of the greenbacks and treas ury notes, which restricts the amount to be retired to the amount of national bank circulation that may be issued. Is said to bo the most objectionable feature "of the various changes made by the committee In the text of tlhe hill as originally prepared. It Is argued that It may too impossible to Induce national banks to take out circulation at all. and that under tlio most auspi cious conditions they cannot bo ex pected to increase their circulation by more than probably fifty millions a year. At that rate It would reaulre ten years to retire the greenbacks and treasury notes outstanding. As long as any considerable amount of them remained in existence It Is pointed out that tho gold in the treasury can be drawn out in. exchange for them, and the present conditions would probably be unchanged. President Cleveland IS understood to greatly desire the pass age of tho bill directing the speedy retirement of these notes os affording the safest and best method of dealing with the situation, SUNDAY POOL PLAYERS •MEN PROM WARSHIP CONCORD Captured by Chinese Natives While on a Hunting Expedition.

In both senate and house the few work ing days now remaining before final adjournment are likely to toe (crowded wOth exciting debates on (topics limy one of wtoWh may produce a deadlock and compel the codling of the Plfty-fourtib congress In extra session.
