PARIS. Nov. 25.-A dispatch has been re-
eeived heIe from Peking which confirms the
statement that well-armed bands have de-
vaststed the whole district in the northern
part Of China. and pilaged and burned the
Belgian mission stations. In addition to
the destruction of the mission stations at
Tayou and Sanchi. there were over 100 con-
verted natives massacred by the blood
thirsty bands. The station at Gehol was
sacked and burned. The priest in charge of
the mission, Belgian by birth, was killed
by the mob and several other Christians
were massacred. The natives heretofore
have been quiet, and there was no sign in
the district that q revolt was meditated
The local authorities therefore had taken
no steps to suppress any outbreak. and
when the natives rose they met with no op-
position, for the officials were practically
helpless. 1t may be stated here that the
local Governor in his report of the occur
renee to the Peking Government does not
place the blame upon the natives of the
province, but attaches responsibility or the
crimes to bands OF Mongolian robbers, who,
he says, made raid through the district.
Whatever the truth may be, the General
Government has taken steps TO prevent any
further outrages on foreigners or native
Christians in the district Under orders
from Peking all the troops available i'm
mediately OIL receipt of information regard
ing the trouble were dispatched TO the scene
of the disturbances.
REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Chronicles Tien-
Tsin correspondent says: The outbreak in
the north, officially described as a raid of
hnn0Ollqn n l1oo
Iectionary movement of serious dimensions.
To-day's dispatches state that in Mongolia
and some districts nearer the capital the
revolutionary feeling is spreading rapidly
and the number of rebels is alarminglv in
creasing The insurgent force, consisting
OF several squadrons of Mongolian cavalry,
besides infantry, is reported advancing on
PekiDg, where the utmost alarm prevails.
The population of a large area. actuated
partly by inclination and partly by fear of
the rebel soldiery, has joined the movement,
together with several mandarins. The i'm
perial troops have started to meet the
rebels.
The entire Christian population of Kin
Choo was massaered with the Belgian
priests.
THE SITUATION At HANkow
LONDON, Nov. pa dispatch from
Bankow, China, says 1t is reported that
all continues peaceful at that port, but the
peace is of that character which requires
fore not very satisfactory. The authorities
there are busy in the region around in max
ing considerab bic stir, but the results are ct at
all 10 proportion to the efforts they put forth.
Six more rioters were seized at Waguh and
taken to the District Magistrate, only to be
Immediately liberated again. Half dozen
brokers have been carefully tried for being
in possession OF blocks of that abominable
book, "Quoi Kin Kai Sz' and for widely
circulating it. As was to be expected, since
they were buttoned men, they were found
blameless, but tine story that the really
guilty party had died was too much for
even the Vieeroy to swallow, SO new trial
was ordered.
In country districts the magistrates want
to make a census of native Christians in
order to give them better protection, but the
Christians are very dubious about giving
more information than they can help. They
have no ambition to have their names regis
tered, and there Is good reason for this, for
il means mischief.
A most important document has turned
up entitled "the human agreement" 1t
consists of seven articles, expressed in a
most pointed ard business-like manner.
They deal with means by which all travel
Ing Christians, all pro-Christian officials,
foreigners who come to Hankow, and finally,
foreign devils generally are to be exter-
minated. 1t tells how men and money shall
be raised, and all by the gracious permission
Of the Emperor.
