Gen. Kin Shuu arrived before Mans
on the I'd of September, 1876, and i've
days later opened an artillery flre on
the northeast angle Of the wall. Will
not recapitulate the details of the s'ege
suffice il that breach after breach was
made, and assault after assault was re-
PEELED, during the period OF two months
for which it lasted. At length, during
the first days of November, sorties were
attempted by the garrison, and some
prisoners who were taken stated that,
the provisions of the garrison being ex-
hausted, their leader had sent them out
to see how matters stood, with a view to
Selling any opportunity ofgetting away.
After examinations the prisoners were
beheaded. At length, at midnight on
the 4th of November, the Mohammedan
general Hai-yen himself came out and
begged to be permitted to surrender. |

itself as to what followed:
kin Shun hereupon commanded him
to deliver mn the horses and arms of the
garrison, and to hand over in bonds, the
leaders of the rebels, after which
he was to draw up lists OF
the remainder of their number, who were
thereupon to be called upon to answer to
their names, and be severely dealt with
according to circumstances. Hal'yen
agreed to do this. At d%aybreak on the
9Th of November a body Of 1000 or 5000
of the garrison sailed out from the west
gate, the centre of the column consisting
of aged persons, women II children,
who were guarded on all sides by determ'

nan troops on the north OF the city were
drawn up in battle array, as were also the
divisions on the south front, while a
separate cavalry division was posted at
the commanding points, in order to pre-
vent escape. ~Su-HiO-kung was at the
same time ordered to go forward and call
upon the advancing body to throw down
their arms, whereupon their lives should

to make a rush at the trenches. so
instantly Ordered his men to
charge, and IIo Luh was taken and be-
headed in front of the line of battle. The
rebel leaders and the desperate fighting
men at their back, abandoning their
women and children, made a bold rush
forward, but they were enveloped by
the various divisions of the Human

own command, and the greater number

with a pistol, and every man of the
