HOSTILITIES HAVE BROKEN OUT AFRESH NEAR SHANHAIKWAN AND IT IS FEARED THAT OPERATIONS IN NORTH CHINA ARE INEVIT-- ABLE.
A message from Shanghaikwan states that a severe artillery duel is now in progress in the Chiumen- kow Pass area, where the Chinese have greatly strengthened their positions of late,
The artillery engagement is reported to have been provoked by the Chinese "who commenced a bombard. ment of the Japanese positions at seven o'clock this morning."

Auckland, Mar. 81 New Zealand were dis imissed shortly after lunch in the second unofficial Test Match to-day, the final score being 158.
At the close of play, England had obtained 127 for 1 wicket.
New Zealand won the toes and elected to bat. Before a single run had been scored they had lost the wickets of Mills and Weir, both of whom were clean bowled by Bowes.
Five thousand spectators wit nessed this remarkable commence- ment. The weather was fine and the wicket good. Allen and Bowes were the opening bowlera. Mills was bowled in his first over from Bowes and Weir's wickets were scattered with the very next ball.
DEMPSTER BATS WELL Dempster alone played the Eng- land attack with any confidence. He scored with some nice crisp strokes and at lunch had reached 150 and was still undefeated.
