 Abstract: In December 1894 a purported massacre of Chinese civilians, including women and children, by Japanese troops ...
New York World, and to a lesser extent those of other correspondents working for European papers, regarding a massacre of Chinese civilians by Japanese troops at Port Arthur in November 1894 were a foretaste of the methods of sensationalist journalism that would reach full blossom during the Spanish-American War.
Accounts of Port Arthur’s fall and aftermath may be roughly categorized into three types: those that purported a wanton and indefensible slaughter; those that steadfastly denied any massacre occurred at all; and those accounts that fell in the middle, acknowledging some excesses but more or less excusing them as either limited or justifiable, or both.
  Upon the fall of Port Arthur, de Guerville countered, not only had there been no massacre, but Japanese troops had acted with restraint and beneficence towards their Chinese foes - which is much more than could be said of the Chinese, or even the British, in past engagements.
