NeWchWang, May 18.â€"â€"The Russians were totally surprised Monday morn- ing by the announcement that nine transports, convoyed by a squadron of Japanese ships, had suddenly ap- peared off Kaichau, twonty miles south of Yinkaw, and that 20,000 Japanese troops had already been landed. The disembarkation was comâ€" pleted Tuesday, and the Japanese force is expected here toâ€"day. Russians “fill Stand at Haichcng. This information accelerated the Russian evacuation, which was car- ried out in perfect or‘ r, and early Mon-day morning the gunboat Sivo- itch was destroyed. The Associated Press correspondent professes to have received from the highest Russian authority information that the Rusâ€" sian forces will make a stand at Ilaicheng, and if defeated there will fall back on Liao, ang, where a deâ€" termined resistance will be offered. Should they be again worsted, no stop will be made at Mukden, which the Japanese will be permitted to occupy. It is not believed the letter will advance into the interior until they have thoroughly established and secured their 'base of operations here. Why Newchang Was Loft.

Cunegonde, Quin, for the opening of Dominion street over the tracks of the (}.’l‘.R. The application Was dismissed with ,fi costs, the principal reason being that the Provincial Legislature had passâ€" ,fl ed certain limitations and restricâ€" r‘ tions on such crossings at that. point, and out of deference to the Leg- islature, whiclrthe commissioners asâ€" sumed had the support of the people in that legislation, permission was refused. .
