Little May BE Alive.
Rumor of the murder of 80 foreign
ers, including Richard H. Little. cor
respondent of the Chicago News at
Mukden. is hoped and believed here to
be unfounded. 1t is assumed that
they may have been captured by the
Japanese. as it has already been re-
ported that a French correspondent
named Nadeau is in the hands of the
japanese.
According to Chinese reports the
governor of Mukden gave a banquet
in honor of the Japanese generals af-
ter their triumphal entry into the city,
and a Russian journalist writes that
with the occupation of Mukden by the
Japanese, Russia's prestige with the
Chinese has been utterly destroyed.
The correspondent says that this is al
ready noticeable and that even a tri-
umphant victory would not restore
Russia TO the place in the estimation
Of the Chinese which she held year
ago.
New Army for Manchuria.
1t is rumored that an order for an
other general mobilization is being
and that a new army will be
