STRIKING DETAILS.
Correspondent of Berlin Paper Speaks
of Russian Conditions.

Berlin, May pa correspondent of
the Franllfurtcr Zeitung. writing from
Harbin under date of April 10. gives
striking details illustrative of the con-
ditions of the Russian army and the
relations existing between the Rus
slams and the Chinese.
He says that two officers, Lieut.. Col.
Corlinsky and Staff Capt. Ignotowich
are in the Harbin prison awaiting the
carrying out of sentences of death inn
posed upon them for selling large sup
plies of gunpOwder to the Chinese from
the army depots. The officers charged
the Chinese s25 per Sc pounds but their
supplies running low, they filled the
boxes partly with sand and placed a
layer of gunpowder on top. At the same
time they raised the price to $50.
The Chinese merchants, incensed at
the Swindle, caused the matter to be
made known to higher quarters and n
watch was set. resulting in the detec-
tion of the officers in the act of selling
gunpowder to Russian Intermediates.
BY similar means the robber bands
are we'll supplied with the most modern
rifles and plenty of ammunition. AL
though it is prohibited to sell arms TO
the Chinese it is well known that every
native village possesses a regular ar
senal containing the best repeating
rifles. including many of the German
model of 1900.
The robber bands have grown bolder
and more active than ever. Within a
few weeks of the date of the letter to
the Frankfurter Zeitung band num-
bering as many as 1000 attacked well
guarded railway station. The Russians
asserted that they positively recog-
nized Japanese officers in command of
the assailantS.
