Chwang and elsewhere in Manchnria,
telegraphed. saturday, that the cccu-
patton Of the forts ut the mouth 81
the Lao river was temporary, and
that the Russians have now with
drawn.
Official circles at PclSin are mysti-
fed. Their subordinates at New

curation of that place, hence there Is
a disposition TO question the correct
ness Of the information, although the
author of Fridays story Is considered
one of the ablest and best-informed
foreigners in China.

Pekin. May e.-Russia has rcoccu-
pied New Chwang. This coup has
caused profound surprise here. as re-
cent Developments had led to the ex-
pectation that Russia would com
promise her demands. since they had
been revealed TO the powers. The
latest maneuver is interpreted as be-
ing intended as reply 10 China's re-
fusal 10 grant Russia's demands. 10
the protests of the powers. and as a
declaration that she is ready 10 fight
in order TO maintain possession of
Manchuria
The news of Russian activity. which
comes from most trustworthy
source at New Chwang. adds that on
their return to New Chwang the Rus
sian troops broughtwith them several
large guns. A large force has been
ordered 20 reoccupy Tien Chwang
Tai. The Russians have $4,000 troops
between the mouth of the Lao river
and Port Arthur.
The Russians are reported to be
constructing forts on the hill near
Lao lung. commanding the road be-
tween there and the Yalu river. and
they have arranged TO have large
quantity of provisions delivered at
New Chwang.
A dispatch from an official at New
Chwang says indications point strong
~ 10 these active preparations being
intended 10 guard against operations
against the Russians in Manchuria.
The foreign ministers, Friday. dis
cussed information TO the effect that
the Russians had taken a large tract
of land across the river from New
Chwang. commanding the terminus of
the Shan Hal Kwan railroad. 1t is
stated that Russia informed the
Chinese officials that the tract was
needed for a Russian drill ground.
The selection of the site seemed re-
markable. because all the troops we're
then quartered on the opposite side Of
the river. several miles distant, where
plenty Of land was available.
The Chinese officials describe the
UONdEtt empress UtlHE
distressed and as fearing that the
Russian aggression will excite anti
foreign demons- rations. resulting in
retaliation on the part of the foreign
ers and the introduction of more for
cign troops. Nowhere has a sugges-
ton been heard that China will resort
70 arms in order to resist Russia.
Prince Ching. the grand secretary,
Friday secured five days leave of ab-
scnce. This is favorite stratagem of
Chinese officials who are DESTROYS of
avoiding unpleasant situations.
1t is stated here that Russian intiu-
.ence Is being exerted 10 conciliate
American opinion and that appeals
are being made 10 the traditional
friendship of the two nations. with
the argument that Russian develop
