RUSSIAN OPERATIONS.
COL Simpson viii Make a Report on Those
That Took Place in MaOchura,
Russia Had Every ProyocatiOn 60
Declare war Against china, but
Refused 20 DO 80

New York, July IA complete report
on Russian operations in Manchuria
viii be published In a few days by
Lieut., Col w. A. Simpson chief Of the
military Information division Of the
war department, says a Washington
dispatch to the Herald. This report,
which gives the first detailed account
Of Russian military operations. shows
that Russia had great cause for declar-
ing war on China. It's frontier was in
yaded, It's people We're killed, It's rail-
way in Mauchuria was destroyed, and
sharing the common injury of other
powers, its subjects in northern China
were expelled or slain. Imperial troops,
acting under instructions from the
imperial government inaugurated hos
tilities against the Russians.
Yet Russia, DESTROYS Of a common ac-
cord among the powers, did not declare
war against China. The report con-
cludes by showing that Russia has
Veatly reduced IT'S military force In
Nanchuria. and contemplates the With
drawal Of all the troops when condi-
tons permit such action. The casual
ties suffered by Russia's troops in Man
churia and Pechili included twenty
three officers and 257 men Killed, and
siXty-seyen officers and 1906 men
wounded
The report gives I'm detail the history
Of the Boxer movement I'm Manchurla
the mobilization OF Russian troops in
the Amoor military district, the Chinese
attacks on the Russian Manchurian
railroad, and the fighting at Kharbln.
