TIBETANS' FORT BLOWN UP
Overlooked the Residence of the
• British Mission.
A despatch to the London 'Times
from. Gyangtse, Tibet, reports that
the fort there bas been blown up be-
cause it overlooked the residence of
the 13ritish inissioo under Col.
Younghusband. Among the strange
discoveries made int the fort was a
room containing scores of human
heads, some of which had been rec-
ently severed. This points to regular
executions by the Tibetans, notwith-
standing the well-known I3uddhist pro-
hibition against the taking of life.

SYMPATHETIC POLES,
ANXIOUS TO ENIAST,
The Japanese War Office is !tootle
with thouSencla applicationS from
men of every age and tamer condition
of life for permission to go to the
front. The applications come from
tizne-expired soldiers and boys too
young to enlist in the army in the
regular manner. The ages the ap-
plicants range from 14 to 70. Many
of them following the Samurai cus-
tom, sign tlieir applications with
their own blood, and several aro
wholly written in blood. Volunteers
have not yet been aecepted, but the
officials are much pleased at the, de-
sire of the people to assist la the
war. The applications will riled,
and if the volunteere are needed those
who. aro luny applying for active sex. -
vice will be given the first opportun-
ity. The authorities here believe that
500,000 volunteers will easily be
obtainable,
the letters of sympathy that •aro
pouring into japan from all parts
of the world, is one vent to the un-
iversity etudents in 'holtio by Polish
$PIES EVERYWHERE.
The operations of the Russians in
Manchuria are greatly hampered by
the immense number of spies. Major-
Genoral Kondrstsvitch, commanding
the Ninth Siberian Rifle Brigade,
says the Japanese have taken ad-
vantage of the convenient location of
Now-Chwang, which is full of spies.
"In the guise of merchants, beg-
gars, rag -pickers and lackeys," says
the General, "these spies sniff every-
where. They have grown pigtails,
showing that they have been orepar-
big for their work for a long time,
and that they are unwilling to trust
entirely the information supplied by
the Chinese. They are hard to get
rid of. These insects, as soon as -they
get information, cross the river into
ChMese territory, whore they use the
telegraph. Some of them. have been
ectught, but -the majority wander
among the troops and nothing can
Pc done -to prevent them."
A Chinese spy who was caught sev-
eral days ago, was sent to Liao -
Yang, where he was shot. The Chin-
ese ananifested deep sympathy, • fol-
lowing him along the streets after he
ha.d been captured.
RUSSIANS AT THE YALLT.
The Chemulpo correspondent of the
London Expre.ss, in a despatch sent
by way of Chafe°, says that al-
though all is declared .quiet on the
'Yalu River, it is believed that the
Russians are gathering strength to
invade Corea in- force, to offset tbe
Japanese successes at sea. The
