Japan's Demands Refused.

(From Our Cin Correspondent.)

SHANGHAI, Feb. 16, 10.35 a.m.

The Commanders of the British

Second-Class Cruiser Talbot, the French Second-Class Cruiser Pascal, and the Italian Third-Class Cruiser Elba were requested by the Japanese to hand over to them all the wounded or shipwrecked

Russians they had on board. This demand was refused by the three Com- manders, and the wounded Russians are still on board the foreign Cruisers.

Mr M. Noina, Japanese Consul, rends us the following official telegram, received

TOKIO, Feb. 16, 8.50 p.m.

According to certain foreign Officers who were in Port Arthur from the 8th to the 11th instant, the Russian Cruiser Retvizan is aground outside the harbour. The Tse- vitch was taken into the harbour, but the Pollada is still lying aground at the en trance of the Port. They were all placed hors de combat by the bombardment by the Japanese fleet. On the following morning the Novik was damaged seriously, while the Askold, Diana, Poltava were only slight- ly damaged.

The latter at once assumed an offensive attitude towards the Japanese transports.and then fired on the torpedo-boats, which replied thereto with two torpedoes but without effect, whereupon the Core to returned to her anchorage in that port. Admiral Uriu, commanding the convoying squadron, made fo mal demand on the 9th on the senior Russian naval officer (the captain of the Varyag) to retire from the port before noon that day, adding that in the event of refusal he would be compelled to attack them in the harbour.

KUZILIN, January 28.

THE REBELLION.

There is not much in the way of news to report. In fact, the only definite piece of information to hand is that a fort or camp of fifty soldiers, in the Yungfuh Hsien jurisdiction, was stormed in a night attack, and all the defenders either slain or dispersed. The stores all fell to the attack ing party, who are reported to be disbanded braves. It is said that no proper look-out was kept, so that there was practically no fighting, the defenders being caught napping. This Hsien is in the Kuelin prefecture, about halfway to Liucheo Fu. That district is still reported to be full of bands of disbanded braves. The prefec- tures further West are still reported to be in an unsettled condition, but this may bo merely an opinion based on past facts. At any rate, the pacification of those districts, reported as the result of the Viceroy's on- deavours, is certainly not common know- ledge. But for the matter of that, the concerns of other places weigh very lightly
