JAPANESE AT TSINC-TAO.
London, November 16
The Japanese behaved at Tsing-tao with punctilious courtesy. Their siege guns sank warships in the harbor, but they did not touch the town. When the twenty-four hours' demand for surrender had elapsed, before' commencing the bombardment, they signalled: "Are you now quite ready, gentlemen?" The reply was whizzing bullets, which grazed the signalman's moustache.
