VICTORY.

RUSSIANS ROUTED.

The Kaiser at Karlsruhe, in reply to an MUSCOVITE POSITIONS OCCUPIED."" address by the Burgomaster, mentioned that he was completely restored to health. He referred to the great war which led to the unification of Germany and hoped that the events now enacting before their eyes would steel their courage and find Germans united, if it became necessary, to interfere in a world policy.

The War.

The Russian Government has sent a cir- cular to its representatives abroad declaring categorically that Russia will not accept mediation to terminate the war and will not admit the intervention of any power whatso. ever in the Russo-Japanese negotiations after

General Kuroki reports from Kiulienching that, on the rst inst., notwithstanding a stout resistance, the 2nd and 12th Divisions and Imperial Guards advanced by three roads, driving the enemy before them.

At 8 p.m: we captured the enemy's line from Antungsien to Lushukov, and the Imperial Guards surrounded the enemy on three sides and after several fights captured 20 guns with their horses and carriages and over zo officers and many men. The gen- eral reserve corps advanced on the Liao. yang road. The enemy's force-was com posed of the whole of the 3rd Division and the 22nd and 14th regiments of the 6th infantry division of sharpshooters and Mischinho's cavalry brigade, about 40 field guns and 8 machine guns. The enemy fled towards Fenghuancheng Our casualties are at the most 700. Total booty, 28 quickfiring guns and large quantities of rifles and am munition. Our heavy field guns were very effective.

PRIZE, FIRING. The official results of the prize firing in the squadron have not yet been made public. The results of work on the Vengeance with the are however known, and a very creditable average has been obtained. The average of hits with the 2 guns of this cabbre was 63.2, the perform rice of the best gun being 14 rounds with 13 hits in 2 minutes, a splend d piece of work. The firing with the 12-inch guns was not as brilliant, but may be considered as satisfactory. It is probable that the fleet will proceed to Woosung on the 9th, as already announced.

THE WRECK OF THE "HAITIEN."

The C. S. Merfoo, which left Hongkong for Shanghai on the evening of the 21st ult, and has been standing by and giving assistance to the wrecked Chinese cruiser Hallien since early morning on Monday, arrived in Shang- hai late on Tuesday night, and from an interview with her captain the N. C. D. News is able to give the following particulars with

reference to the wreck.

The Haitien which was on her way from Chefoo to Shanghai, and had overrun her distance, strack a rock just off Elliott Island

at 5.30 am. on Monday. From the time that they passed Eddy Island dense fog prevailed, and those on the look-out saw nothing until and vessel struck. At 7.30 am. the Meiloa, having heard the minute guns being fired, went over to her. Her stern was then above water and the after part was completely tight, but during the day a strong breeze sprang up from the north-east, with heavy rain showers, and seas began to wash over her poop. The after hold then fil.ed, through the hatches. The crew went ashore during Monday night, landing on the island by means of life lines, and two lives were lost in getting ashore. At

There was a large rack visible on her starboard side about 40 feet from the stem, and about 25 cet abaft of this rock a hole

could be seen in the vessel's side. At noon on Tuesday she was completely under water from the second funnel aft, and it is surmised that she has struck on a pinnacle rock. At to am. on Tuesday all the crew were on board the Mietfoo, and that steames also took aboud the Haillen's four boats and davits At 12.15 the Meifon weighed anchor, and proceeded to Woosung, bringing 360 of the alien's crew.
