(From Our Own Correspondent)

Eastern Kweichow, April 20. Quite a number of roads in the province have been infested with brigands during recent weeks. General Tane in the Cast of the province turned over from Wang to the since defented General Miao. Wang's men stationed at Hainchow joined Tsac and Gerio:al Wang seat troops who pressed General Tate to the border and it is reported that there was fighting in the Yuping aree, General Tone having come from his headquarters in Tungien to command operations. At Sashuei there has been a struggle between the local militia and brigands, with defeat to the brigands many of whom were killed:

Not long ago a large band of soldiers who had been defeated Dear Kweiyang in the fighting got as far as Yuching when they de manded money from the public. A sum of several hundred dollars was given them on the understanding that they leave the district. They did not go however and the local militia attacked them when the soldiers in retaliation set fire to the market place outside the city walls. Quite a considerable number of -buildings were destroyed. After some weeks of staying in the hills, they were taken into General Tsse's forces,"
