The Japanese have been compelled to fight robbers in the whole of Southern Manchuria, and must advance to the west of the Liao River, where the bandits’ base is situated. POSITION AT CHINCHOW. CHINESE TROOPS WITHDRAW. PEKING, December 29. To-night Hsueh-liang ordered the troops in Chinchow and the vicinity to withdraw inside the Great Wall.

The withdrawal has already begun, and will proceed as rapidly as possible. Despatches which are reaching Chang Hsueh-liaug’s headquarters from Chinchow indicate that the Japanese forces arc advancing up the Yingkow-Kaopang-tze branch line, have occupied Panshan, and are threatening Kaopangtzc.—Times Cable.
