IJic Last Stronghold at HaMVel Cap
tured After a Terrific
Fight.
THE CHINESE ENVOYS SENT HOME
They W«ra PowerleM to Conduct Bind
ing Negotiations, and the Japanese
Government Refused to Treat
With Them.
London, Feb, 8.—A dispatch sent today by
the Central News correspondent iu Chefoo
eay:
“The Japanese have captured the island of
Ling§Kung-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 gnus wero disabled early in the
engagement. Toward the close of tho bom
bardment six Japanese ships landed marines
who captured tho batteries, Tho fighting was
severe aud many wero hilled and wounded on
each side. As this dispatch is sent, the two
fleets are hotly eugagocl.”
Tbo Central News correspondent in Hiro
shima telegraphs under today’s date :
“Premior Count Ito and ViscouLt Nutsn,
minister of foreign affairs, had a second inter
view with China’s peace envoys yesterday
afternood. Tho main object of tho meetiug
was to exchange credentials. Tho ministojs
found tho credentials of the envoys to be very
imperfect, aud to leave thorn absolutely pow-
rrless to cAnducfe binding negotiations. They
refused at ouoo to continue negotiations aud
requested the envoys to leave their country as
soon as possible. The envoys will sail tomor
row ou the steamship Owaiimaru for Nagas
aki, where they will await the arrival of the
mail steamship lor China. They will bo ac
companied until they depart by tho inspector
genera! of Aud sorer;;, assis.au.
spoctors, who will prevent any hostile demon
stration on the part of tho people.”
The preliminary resolution to approve all
war expenditures, regardless of amount aud
dato, is prefaced with the declaration that the
objects of tho war have not boon roalixoo.
The Central Nows correspondent in Woi-
Hai-Wei wiros under the date of Feu-
chluese warships were much damaged
In yesterday’s fight. After tho Faichiyaso
forts capitulated, the Japanese turned tho
captured guns against the Chinese w»«*
ships, hitting them repeatedly and iorcing
them to chauge their position. A violent
snow storm iu tho afternoon of January
compelled tbo Japanese fieet to remain in
active, and thus frustrated the Japanese plan
to bring on a gonoral naval engagement. I he
Japanese etifi hold tho ouiraiice to the
k A^Gentral News dispatch sent from Hal-
Cbong ou Friday says that Viceroy Liu Kuug
Ti has anivod at New Chwang and will assume
supreme command of the Chinese operations
in Manchuria Uon. Nodsu, the Japuuese
commander, oxpects to be attacked tomorrow
or Tuesday. His spies roport that there are
about 60,000 Chinese troops in tho neighbor
hood of Ycng-Koh’ and New Chwang.
The Paris edition of the Herald will
publish a dispatch to the following ef
fect concerning tho reception of Uie»,Chln-
<)e peace envoys:
“The Chinese envoys declare that they
were Ignorant that their credentials were
defective, and their government ployed a
futaured them that It had be-
trlck. It assured them that
stowed on them full power* yet tne doc
uments did not state the subject of the
negotiations, and the envoys would have
been compelled to refer everything to Fo
kin. Premier Ito remarked that China
could not bo very desirous of peace, to
say nothlnr of tho slight on Japan. Tho
latter would bo willing to reopen negotlo-
tlons, however, when an embaaey wltli
full powers should be sent."
"The dispatch from Hiroshima stating
tint ‘he Chinese peace envoys had been
sent back under escort because of the
Insufficiency of the credentials exactly
accords with nntlclpatory ndvlces re
ceived by Mlnlsted Kurlno. tho Japanese
minister to the United States. It hns
been the expressed opinion at tho Japan
ese legation from the start that tho Chin
ese government was simply pursuing Its
customary policy of delay In this mat
ter. Their drat attempt was to place Ja
pan In tha attitude of suing for peace by
giving tho proposition made at tho sug
gestion of tho United States by Minister
Dun at Toklo precedence over tho propo
sition made by Minister Donby at Pekin.
This subterfuge being rejected, and Ja
pan Insisting that China must take the
fntkitlve tn asking for peace, China next
requested on nrmlstlce. This being re
fused on the 8th of December, China ap
pointed Chang Hln Huan and Shao, gov.
rraor of Formosa, ns peace envoys. Ja
pan served formal notice on China that
unless thcao ministers ramo accredited
with plenipotentiary )x>wcrs they would
not bo received, and for the time being
Japan, In the Interest of a peaceful set
tlement, waived Its objection to the 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 8th of December, It was
not until the 7th of January that Chang
Hln Huan took leave of the emperor nnd
started on Ills mission. In the meantime
tamo tho selection of ex-Secretary J. W.
Foster as advisory counsel. This .again
avas looked upon by Japan ns an attempt
nt delay. It was apparent that Mr. Fos
ter could not be admitted to the pence
negotiations except In the capacity of a
secretary to one of the Chinese envoys,
nnd that was a position his high rank
us a diplomat and on ex-secretary of
the United Statce would of necessity de
bar (dm from taking.
Two months ago Count Ito. Count
Inonye and Field Marshal Yamagata
were till In favor of peace upon the basis
ot an Indemnity and the recognition of
the Independence of Korea. Now It ill
said these terms will be Imposed and
that 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 tn.
There Is nothing now left for the Japa
nese to do but pursue their advantages
until eventually Pekin falls Into their
hands. The inevitable results of this, It
Is thought, will be the full of this dynas
ty. Then there will be no oue 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 nt
European powers. The outcome of such
n complication would be dlfflcult to fore
see, and Its complication U giving much
uneasiness In diplomatic clrclas here.

THE HOUSE BANKING BILL
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 the house by the committee last Fri
day. The section relating to the re
tirement o-t the greenback* 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 be the most objectionable
feature of the various changes made
by the committee In the text of the
bill as originally prepared. It is argued
that it may be impossible to induce
national bankg to take out circulation
at all, and that under the most auspi
cious conditions they cannot be ex
pected to Increase their circulation by
more than probably ill Ly immune a
year. At that rate it would reouire
ten years to retire the greenbacks and
treasury notes outstanding. As long
ns any considerable amount of them
remained In existence It Is pointed out
that the gold In the treasury can be
drawn out In exchange fog them, and
the present conditions would probably
be unohamged. President Cleveland IS
understood to greatly desire the pass-
age of the bill directing the speedy
retirement ot these notes ns affording
the safest and best method of dealing
wltli the situation.

Washington, Feb. 3.—The Fifty-
third congress enters tomorrow upon
him lust four weeks of Its satskui. In
bath senate aid house the few work
ing days now remaining before final
adjournment arie likely to be crowded
with exciting debates on topics tony one
of which may produce a deadlock and
compel the calling of tho Fifty-fourth,
congress in extra session. Earnest ef
forts are toeing made by the adminis
tration loaders to ovoid this contin
gency. The situation, however, is ren
dered much less favorable than it was
at the beglnnins of the session by the
fact that 6ie Democrats have practic
ally lost control of the senate and are
so 'divided on financial issues in the
houso as to toe practically In a minor-
Iny In that chamber upon many of the
leading questions at issue.

by Mr. Sherman for She relief of the

'Mr. McPherson will speak to the
