WAR IN THE EAST.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Shanghai, February 1. The guns captured by the Japanese in the fort at Weihaiwei were trained upon an island occupied by the I Chinese and on the latter's warships. February 2. The resistance offered by some of the forts at Weihaiwei is regarded as feeble, in view of the natural strength 'of the Chinese force. The latter's warships maintained a heavy fire, and many of the forts-were stubbornly de- , fended, but the majority were cap--1 tured in a few hours. Both sides lost heavily, but the Japanese captured an enormous quantity of munitions of war.
j It is reported that one of the I Japanese warships was disabled and two torpedo boats were sunk. : The fire of the Chinese fleet was conducted from the anchorage in the j harbour. 4
