Peking, March 22.
There is no confirmation of the numerous Chinese reports to the effect that Baron Ungern has captured Kiachta and is marching on Transbaikalia. The Chinese generally speak of Maimacheng, a Mongolian town near Kiachta, as} "Kiachta," and it is probable that Baron Ungern has sent a_ small force to drive out the 400 Chinese troops garrisoning Maimacheng.
Both the Chinese and Great Northern Telegraph staffs in Peking are in communication with Kiachta vid Vladivostok, and both believe they would immediately have received telegraphic information if Baron Ungern had occupied Kiachta.—Reuter.
