Information has reached here that three hundred White Russians, members of the Northern army, and three foreign priests, whose nationality is unknown, are besieged at Weihaiweffu, a small city north of Honan, as a consequence of the recent fighting. Their plight is terrible, according to messengers who arrived at Peking. They are fodoless. The city is desolated. Gunfire from the Southern artillery demolished a missionary children’s school.
