Both sides lost heavily, but the Japanese captured an enormous quantity of munitions of war. It is reported that one of the Japanese warships was disabled, and two torpedo boats were sunk. The fire of the Chinese fleet was conducted from anchorage in the harbor. London, February 2 The Yokohama correspondent of the News Agency wires it is officially announced that on the exchange of credentials the powers given to the Chinese envoys deputed to treat for peace were found to be utterly defective and the Japanese Government declines to enter into negotiations with them.
