rebels in Chung king. according to adj
vices by the Glenogle, are increasing
in power daily. The Tung-L iang and
HoW-choW railway is completely .lln-
der their control. They have compelled
Well-to-do people to provide them with

hal and other coast ports, stopping the
shipment of goods The rebels are
daily committing atrocities of every
sort and kind. One of their leaders,

cording to the reports from ChemulDo
matters have reached a grave crisis in
Korea. The emperor is being worried
to death by petitions by the Indepen-
dence club, who are forcing his hand
to dismiss some of the higher minis

Independence club will invade the pal

to poison the emperor was a CHASTITY
affair. The doomed were taken from
the scaffold by a mob. Then began
one Of the most grewsome exhibitions
| Of savagery and bloodthrstiness ever
seen in any land. The condemned men
were actually torn to pieces by the
mob, and even when life was extinct
the most, deyilisha ndignities simagin-.
able were heaped upon the mangled
and bleeding remains. -
