Ensign Marllo, who has returned from the battle of Sal-matza, Sal-matza, fought on June 7, says that the Japanese Ja-panese lost about COO men. Ho speaks In the highest terms of the work of the Red Cross doctors Poosen and Bentesh, who attended the wounded under fire. When the order came to retire these doctors refused re-fused to leave tho bandaging station until the Inst of the wounded had been brought out and attended to. After the battle a wounded Russian was found with his tongue cut out and his fingers severed. There Is a general disinclination disin-clination to attribute this mutilation to the Japanese after the kindness which they had previously shown to the Russian Rus-sian wounded, and It Is thought to bo more probable that It was tho work of Chinese bandits. It Is allleged that during the engagement the Japanese again mla-used mla-used tho Red Cross by getting within 100 yards under Its cover and then firing volleys. |
