Seoul, Korea, May ga telegram
has been received from Gen San, on
the east coast of Korea, saying that
Russians, after the engagements with
Korean troops at Ham Heung, burned
the shrines and the royal mausoleum
which were erected there by the
founder of the present Korean dynasty
in 1864 and which were regarded by
the Koreans as sacred. This apparent
wanton dissertation of tombs in a land
imbued with the spirit of ancestor
worship has caused excited denuncia-
tions of the Russians on the part OF
the Seoul officials.

Grain Hold For Chinese.

Lao Yang, May 26.-General Ma,
commander of the Chinese troops, is in
constant communication with Touli-
san, the chief Of the Chinese bandits,
who are adopting military organiza-
ton under Japanese instructors.
Toulisan's district is the granary of
Manchuria. He is great organizer
and built seven immense granaries,
which are strongly garrisoned. Toul-
isan ordered the inhabitants to bring
in their surplus grain, forbidding
them to sell 1t to the Russians and or
dering them to reserve the grain for
the Chinese armies which are coming
from the northwest.
