THE TAKow MASSACRE.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-The Chronicles
correspondent at Tien Tsin says: Off
cial reports of the Takow massacre con-
tain details without parallel. even in the
history of China. The previous dis
patches have given but faint idea of
what happened. The members of the
little Belgian Mission had no opportunity
of escaping. The slaughter commenced
with the killing of native converts, many
of whom were put to death with fiendish
cruelty. Children of tender years werc
seized by the savages. sacked with knives
and roasted at huge fire.
a worse fate still befell the nuns, who
were subjected to the groSsest indiGni-
ties, being brutally outraged by the
fiends, who afterward braine1 them with
massive clubs. The Belgian priests were
cruelty tortured, but met their fate with
Christian resignation. One had his heart
and tongue torn from his body and
burned by the savages in murderous
frenzy.
The most astounding statement is that
after the miscreants had been satiated
with outrage and slaughter they were
fcasted and feted by leading Chinese
mandarins in the district.
The foreign diplomatic body at Pcking
is simply furious, and the whole Euro
pean colony is boiling with indignation.

Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 29.-It is reported
that a large force of rebels. under the di-
rection of priests, had battle with the
imperial troops on Tuesday, near Ching
King. The Imperialists, who numbered
1000 men, Were defeated with the loss of
700 killed and many wounded.
The rest of the imperial army fled. The
victorious rebels are now marching uron
Pekin. The rebel army is growing
rapidly, as it is receiving accessions from
all sides. The intelligence that the rebels
are marching to attack Pekin has caused
the greatest excitement in this city.
Advices from Nanking to-day tell Of
the reception of the famous rebel Kolao
leader, Chen Kin Lung, who, with three
other revolutionists, had started for Nam
king IN gunboat. A message was sent
by wire to inform the Viceroy of the
terrible Kolao's departure, so that suit
able preparations might be made to re-
ceiVe him on landing.
When Chen arrived, the Viceroy waite(;
upon the prisoner in high court dress,
and was accompanied by the Provincial
Treasurer, several Inandarins and the
Protect of Marking, two other magistrates
and generals.
Chen gave an entirely different version
of his confession from that given before
the Shanghai court, but he acknowledged
that he had committed three murders.
Then the Provincial Treasurer said
Then according to the law of murder it
is life for life. You have committed
three murders, and if you forfeit your life
now it cannot be considered unjust, even
in your own mind.''
Two magistrates were then ordered to
summon the executioner, who dragged
Chen King Lung to the western gate, at
the entrance of the Viceroy's yamen, and
sent him to the other world with neatness
and dispatch with single blow of his
sharp sword.
