These having been heartily given and acknow ledged by Sir Matthew Nathan, the band of the Royal West Kents, which had been in at tendance, during the afternoon, brought the proceedings to a close by playing the National Anthem.

Chinese were found brutally murdere). Many of the people's horses also had been slaughtered. It is an old method of war to lay waste the couniry when retreating so as to embarrass a pursuing enemy. Some excuse may therefore be found for the burning of bouses and the killing of horses. But to s aughter the peace- fut inhabitants is mere savagery. Another page is thus added to the evil record of Russian deeds during this war.

On the south side of the Fushun-Mukden railway a great quantity of timber has been found. The interesting feature about this article is that its provenance is Hokkaido and it must consequently have been imported by the Russians for railway purposes before the war commenced.

Details now received show that the Russians defended Tiehling with two divisions. The brunt of the attack fell upon one Japanese division, and the losses of the assailants were 700, those of the Russians being computed at over 1,020. No guns or waggons were taken. The enemy made his stand at a position of great natural strength. Some 5 miles south of Tiching runs the Fan Fiver, an „Buent of the Lino and nearly as large as the Hun.
