The mont Important Russian town between Tie I>ass and liar- bin, with the exception of Kirin, which is not on the railway, is. iwansuling, <aiso speit Kuinchuling>. This town is a littie over 100 miles north of 'fie Pass. Here were gathered great stores ci provisions, alongside of wihich were erected Red Cross bospitals, the best bv far that the Russians had south of Harbin. At ail the other stations thonr were aiso hospital arcommodatiors, s that if Kouropatkin escapes he lias a good country to cross at the mnust fýi vorabie season of the year. AnouA-'ý few weekçs and t.he roads would be im- passable. But if he is liard pressec. there is not a defensible position, un- lesa he abandons the raiiway and seekcz safety in the eastern his. Late-- in the year, of course, the rivers would afford some protection, but in winter, being frozen, they are as easy bo cross as is the country. West of Harbin along the railway the first hilîs are encount- tered about midway between Harbin and bue Siberiain border. These moun- tains are rnost formidable, several switchbaeks and tunnels beirg neces- sary te carryN th e raili-ay over thein. A SEVERE REVERSE. Times Correspondent Saýs Railway Has Been Cut.
