Further Feugtfen attacks at Shanliaikwan yeslerday wore repulsed. ]t is reported'that the Fengtien forces have retreated from Shanhaikwan,' but this seenis doubtful. However, the uig guns have, apparently been drawn' back, and tho pressure on the Chihli forces' has been overcome, as the he-id quarters of tho first Chihli army has returned to Shankaikwaii. There are indications that the relations of the Chihli and Japanese authorities in the northern war area are somewhat strained. The cause is obscure. Upon hearing a report that Japan is sending reinforcements to Chmwangtao, Wu Pei-fu is said •to have asked the Japanese commander to telegraph to Tokio to postpone action Iho commander replied that Wu Pei-fu should caution his officers not to show ill-feeling to the Japanese.
