Tokio, 17th December.
Correspondence having passed between General S: dssel and General Nogi with reference to the bombard ment by the Japanese of Russian hospitals, a conference of parlemenfaires took place on Friday afternoon at Sanlichiao.
The Russians said that the Japanese were firing directly on their hospitals, in the occupants of which were included Japanese wounded. They said that Russia would not think of requesting them to spare the entire new town or the Northeastern old town. The suggestion was rejected, and it was finally agreed that the Japanese should be provided with a map showing the position of the hospitals, this map to be delivered to the Japanese on Sunday, the 18th inst.—Our own correspondent.
