a Prison Fired by the Guards and the Flee
ing Prisoners Deliberately Murdered.
LONDON, Nov. pa horrible massacre has
occurred in Mandalay The guards placed IN
charge Of the principal prisons. which are con-
structed of bamboo, set fire to one of the sides of
the edifce, and, having assured themselves that
the flames were already beginning to invade the
parts which served as shelter to the wretched
prisoners opened the gates, in front of which
there had been drawn up good number of sol
diers armed with guns and swords Then they
threw themselves like wild beasts upon those
who, to escape being burned alive, rushed out of
the gates. The massacre lasted all the night in
the presence of the highest functonaries of the
town. who with cries and gesticulations excited
the assassins against their passive victims. The
number of killed exceeded two hundred. and
among them were some relatives of Prince Yung
Tan, who is at present living at Calcutta. The
day after the massacre the bodies, mutilated in
a manner too horrible to describe. were lying
heaped about ON carts, and in the streets of the
town. For some months past the prisons here
and elsewhere had been crowded with brigands
and political prisoners A revolt was feared,
and the Governor could find no better expedient
to avoid it than to give proof of his determined
ferocty by ordering the massacre of all prison
ers, without distinction of sex, age or the cause
of imprisonment

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The action of the French

ton, and it is asserted, she will ask for English
mediation. The secretaries of Prince Ii assert
that they saw Captain Fournier who negotiated

in the treaty.
The Pekin correspondent of the Times tele-
graphs that the British minister to China is in
active, and that the breach is widening between
China and France. The Tsung Ii Yamen is
calmly confident of Chinas power, and has de-
cided to reject Captain Fourniers May conven-
tion as basis for negotiations and this will re-
open the whole question.
