From Our Own Correspondent mienchow, Sze., June 12.
Our missionary at Lungan reports that Yunnan and Shansi troops are in possession of the city, The Mission house is crowded with refugees. These troops are said to be on the way down to attack Hsiong Keh-wu It was told one man, a postmaster, that Hsiong is having a certain measure of success, These has been fighting at Suiling between here and Chungking. General Liu is there. General Liu, our own general, is back once more.
Mr. Wang, the blind teacher for our blind school, has arrived, he has two small boys og pupils up to the present. What is needed is a foreigner to take charge of the whole affair, for Mienchow to come the headquarters for a large circle round, attracting blind students from a distance; then we shall have a school of some pretensions. Perhaps our hopes will be realized.
To-day it seems inclined to _rain The country needs it badly. For a week now the district has been fasting.
