CHINA AND JAPAN.
[Special to , Press Association. I SHANGHAI, Feb. 27. The Chinese Grand Council, prior to entering into negotiations for peace, consulted, the provincial mandarins, who replied that it was desirable to conclude reasonable terms with Japan. Feb. 28. Prince Kung has been interviewed in Pekin. He admitted that the war had been mismanaged, and laid the blame on some of the highest officials, who were incompetent. China, he said, was awake to her weakness, yet if Japan’s terms for peace were exorbitant she would fight to the end. It was impossible that Heaven would allow Japan inordinate success. The Chinese in the vicinity of Haicheng have been reinforced by 34,000 men.
