Peking, June 5.
Bandits at Erhshihtaokou, near the Korean border, defeated the troops after a fight in which six soldiers were killed and over 20 were carried off as' captives. The soldiers there are dispirited and the bandits are very aggressive. They attacked the timber mills of Erhshihtaokou and kidnapped over 80 persons from the mills. The Japanese and other remaining employees have been forced to cross the frontier and take refuge in Korea.—Reuter. 7
