The Picking government has received q
dispatch from the Tartar General Tseng
Chi in Moukden. to the effect that the Rus

as auxiliaries. The most curious thing in
regard to these regiments is that the Rus
slams belonging to them are all prepared to
dress themselves exactly like Chinese
This. remarks the Tartar General
Tseng Chi in his report. lis what makes me
suspicious as to the ultimate motive of the
Russians and her greatest danger to China
