Chinese Fleet Attempts to Engage Russian Cruiser in Formosa
Report from St Petersburg via Times correspondent says the Chinese fleet in Formosa Strait tried to engage the Russian armored cruiser Rurik but the cruiser’s speed thwarted the plan. Allies may force surrender or destroy the Chinese fleet. Shanghai telegrams note a Sept 30 edict moving the court to Si Chan Fu due to Tai Yuan Fu famine. Edicts degrading high officials appear timed to gain latitude for defying powers, with the capital largely inaccessible from the coast. The Shanghai Morning Post notes German troops lack transport, making follow-up futile. The Times in Shanghai says a Russo German split over northern territory and Chi Li and Shan Tung remains, while edicts act to hoodwink the powers.
