Valu and to his superior strength in artillery, General Kuroki was able to menace evening the meeting, whole front of his enemy, who was thus kept on the qui vive, and obliged to cis- seminate his forces without gaining any definite indication as to the point on his line where the real attack would be made. When it was made, on the extreme left flank of his position, the Russiantroops entrenched at Husan, Makau and Yushukou, consisting of six battalions of infantry and about twenty guns under the orders of General Kashta- linsky, found themselves attacked by three Japanese divisions, the 11th, 12th and the Guards. Notwithstanding these odds, the Russian troops, maintaining their ancient reputation, resisted gallantly from 8 a.m. to 3 pm, when they were surrounded and overwhelmed.

THE SAINAM TRAGEDY.

FIRST DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

(From Our Correspondent.)

Canton, June 14. Abdul Khalik, who is accused of the murder of Mahoinned femal at Sainam, appeared before bir Hiram Wilkinson, Chief Justice of Shanghai, at the British Consular Court to-day. The prosecution was conducted by Hon. H. E. Pollock, K C., of Hong kong, acting on behalf of Mr. W. A. C. Platt, acting Crown Advocate of Shanghai, while Mr. Francis Ellis, of Shang- hai, represented the defence,

About six o'clock on the morning of March 24, Sheer Ali noticed that Khalik was feeling about the pillow on which the deceased had been lying. In the ordinary course of events, and judging from the direction taken by the bullet, it should have been found in the pillow, but although a thorough search was subsequently made

could be found. An order for the burial of Jemal was secured, and four indians, including Sheer Ali and Khalik, accompanied by several coolies attended to the funeral rites. Jemal was interred in the vicinity of the railway line, and after the last ceremonies had been concluded the party turned to go. As Khalik passed the grave he stopped and, regarding the newly filled in mound, he said 'You wanted me to be sent to Hongkong, just now you lie there and I have got my job and you are done for! His face, while he gave utterance to those words, indi. cated the intensity of bis hatred for the deceased man. Sheer Ali looked at Khalik 'The man was a good man,' he said. 'Why do you say that?
