ACTION BY CHINESE.
[From Our Special Correspondent.]
Shanghai, 27th May, 5.30 p.m..
At the instigation of Mr. Odagiri, the Japanese Consul-General, the Chinese authorities here have refused to allow the Russian colliers the entry of the port in the usual Customs way,
Ela Jate issue of the China Gazette we find it stated that Mr. Hobson, the Commissioner
of Imperial Maritime Customs, has refused to exact any bond from the shippers that any coal they carry is not intended for the belligerents before the issuance of the clearance papers, until he hears from Peking. The Taolai, at the instance of the Japanese Consul General, ia- tends to prohibit the export of coal from Shang. hai. According to the Sin Wan-pao the Viceroy of Nanking wired to the Taotei that the former had been informed by Mr. Odagiri that undis putable evidence bas been obtained through his foreign, and native spies that coal has been smuggled out from Shanghai to the Russian Fleet. The Viceroy instructed his subordinates that no ship must be allowed to leave Shanghai with coal unless the shipper give sufficient security that it is not consigned to the Itus sians. ED., H.K.T]

It is officially reported that a battalion of Russian infantry and six squadrons of cavalry attacked at 3 p.m. on the 21st inst. the northera height at Chênyangpan but were repulsed.
A battalion of Russian infantry and two to three squadrons of cavalry marched towards Chieachentze along the Kirin-Taclu road on the morning of the sand. Another company of infantry and a squadron appeared on the western height beyond the village. Both were repulsed.
