The first days of 1895 found us at one of the pauses in the warlike operations between China and Japan. Port Arthur had been captured by the Japanese with 1864 comparatively slight loss, but with the greatest disgrace and discredit to the Chinese Government and army, Ignorance, incompetence, dishonesty, cowardice of the rankest kind had been exhibited in every grade, and the higher grades were the worst of all. Japan had one Corps d'Armée in Manchuria, but its sale function seemed to be to cover the operations in the Llaotung peninsula and prevent any f1857 Chinese advance from Moukden or Kirin. It was also part of its duty, by threatening an advance on Shanhaikwan, to keep the bulk of the Chinese forces round that
Peking, which might at any moment be threatened by an advance of the first Army Corps. The Second Army was in full possession of the peninsula and of Port Arthur, and a third Army Corps was mustering at Hiroshime with an uncertain destination. Some supposed that It was destined for the Yangtze, but Great Eritain has the credit for preventing any interference with trade there, if It ever was in the Japanese programme. Some pointed to Formosa as the proposed scene of its operations, but most minds turned towards Wel-hal-wel
