The Chinese Question: the German Occupation of Kiao-Chau - entrance to Kiao-Chau Bay as seen from Cape Evelyn, 1898. Facsimile Sketch by our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior. "The view of Kiao-Chau Bay I made from Point Evelyn to show the entrance to the Bay proper. Everyone who writes about Kiao-Chau speaks of it as a harbour, whereas it is forty miles from Tsingtan, where the ships are only able in this weather to find anchorage, and as a matter of fact no ship of any important tonnage can go closer than twelve to fifteen miles. Tsingtan is the port of Kiao-Chau and will be so for years."...The Chinese diplomatic contest has somewhat subsided, save for the denunciations by the Russian Press of Great Britain's lease of Wei-Hai-Wei; but the concessions to France are not yet precisely known. The port of Wu-Sung, near Shanghai, is to be opened as a treaty port free to all nations. There are sixteen British war-ships at Chefoo, and ten Japanese at Wei-Hai-Wei, the station now to be formally occupied by Great Britain. Japan is in treaty with China for the concession of a port to balance the recent acquisitions of Russia, Germany, and Great Britain. A disturbance between Russians and Chinese is reported from the neighbourhood of Talien-Wan'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
