WEIHAIWEI
191
a month is the largest in the Settlement. A Chinese sub-district deputy magistrate resides in the town of Weihaiwei.
No customs duties of any kind are collected at Weihaiwei. By agreement, the Chinese Government is permitted to make use of the Bay of Weihaiwei for its fleet, so far as is compatible with British interests. Weihaiwei was originally strongly fortified by the Chinese. Twelve large forts in all were planned and erected for the Chinese Government by Mr. von Hanneken. Eight of these forts and all the guns were completely destroyed in the China-Japan war of 1895. It was announced in 1903 that it was not the intention of His Majesty's Government to re-fortify the station, but to retain it as a flying naval base, and as a depôt, drill ground, and sanatorium for the China squadron in North China.
