We Learn from our Weihai correspondent that the C.N.S. Shengking, which arrived there on Saturday, was officially searched. This course was taken as the result of information from Shanghai that she carried ammunition for Tientsin, 100,000 rounds being the amount stated. Every facility was of course iven by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire for this search. They were quite unaware that the Shengking carried anything of the sort. She left on the same day for Chefoo, where she might have to discharge. A marine guard was placed on board to accompany her to Chefoo.
