The Urga Refugees

Peking, March 8.

Major Dockray and Mr, Albert-sen have arrived at Manchuria Station from Urga.

The strength of Baron Ungern's force at Urga is estimated at 5,000, half this number consisting Russians, well armed and equipped. Ataman Annenkoff's forces have now been completely disarmed at Talbagatai.

A Chinese expedition is being organized at Taolin, but the preparations are making slow progress. Chang Huai-chi has instructed the Aeronautical Department to send two large and two small aeroplanes to Taolin, via the Peking-Suiyuan Railway, for use against Urga.—Reuter.
