slams have orders to fire on any one
commencing work. General Wogack
says the trouble caused by the unwar-
rantable interference of the British in
the affairs of the Russian concession
and siding will not be continued unless
he receives orders from his own supe-
riors. Field Marshal Count Won Wal
dersee is expected here to-day. Both
sides will appeal to him, but both con-
slider the matter beyond his authority,
and will await orders from Europe
