Severe Casualties on Both
Sides.
(Received Yesterday, at 9.44 a.m.)
London, Last Night.
Forty Cossacks at Kangkeni, one hundred miles north-west of Gensau, where two Korean battalions are stationed, demanded the barracks, but the Koreans only offered them the use of a building.
A quarrel over the matter led to a fight, in which twenty-five Cossacks and seventeen Koreans were killed, and twenty Koreans were wounded.
