About 1000 Russian infantry from
Kali Chou passed through New Chwang
this morning, accompanied by large
supply and hospital train. Several carts
contained bandaged men. The troops
appeared to be tagged out, and showed
every indication of long, forced

New York, June 14.-Mrs. Nan Pat

Caesar Young, the bookmaker, in a

in the first degree. Young, who had
been close friend Of Mrs. Patterson
for several years, met her by appoints

The indictment shows that the wit
nesses who appeared before the grand
jury were: DR. Edwin N. Higgins, of
the Hudson Street hospital; DR.. O'Han-
lon, coroners physician; William Luce,
Caesar" Young's brother-in-law; Pa
trolman Junior, Capt. Sweeney, of the
Leonard street station, and Frederick
Michaels, cabman. The return was
made to Judge Newburger. The filing
of the indictment obviated the hearing
of much evidence at the coroner's In
quest. Only a few witnesses were ex-
amined, and the jury quickly returned
a verdict that Young came to his death
by a hui'et wound.
Mrs. Patterson will be arraigned to
plead before Judge Newburger in the

Wang Cheng road, which was reported
to have resulted in the loss of two
Japanese battalions. Should this report
turn out to be true, it would show

Extreme Reticence Manifested.
Absolute confirmation is not obtain

reticence is manifested at the war Of

which is generally interpreted as fore
