WAR IN THE EAST.
CHINA DESIRES PEACE PRINCE RUNG INTERVIEWED INCOMPETENCE AND MISMANAGEMENT HIGH OFFICIALS BLAMED Shanghai, February 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. Shanghai, February 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 of 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 troops in the vicinity of Haichang have been reinforced bv 34,000 men.
