REBELS BUTCHER CAPTIvEs
Terrible Atrocities Perpctrntcd In
the Interior Provinces of the
Chinese Empire.

VICTORIA, b. c., March S-Details OF
China received by the Empress of India
state that the rebel force and the imperial
troops met in a pitched battle on January
% and the government troops were defeated
with great slaughter. Hundreds were killed
and their bodies after having been mutilated,
were thrown into the river, until, according
to a correspondent of the China Mail, the
stream was like a log jammed creek.
After the defeat of the imperial troops the
victorious rebels swept on to the cities of
kuyang and Meng-Sheng, which they took
after a short siege. AS soon as they passed
the walls they massacred men, women and
children, and performed all manner of re-
voting cruelties. They then burned the
captured towns. After these successes the
rebels pushed on to Shachou and Kauchon
The gates of the former city were opened by
sympathizers within and the horrors wit
messed at their first two captures were re-
enacted.
Kauchon held out for some time. At
length Niu and his followers gained an en-
trance to begin their slaughter. AS re-
venge for his having held the city against
the rebels the unfortunate commandant of
cruelty 1t is said 200 men, women and
children fell in the struggle attending the
capture of the city.
1t is feared a great famine will follow
the insurrection for so terrified are the
natives that the crops have all been left
standing and will not be harvested.

TORTURE A PRIEST HORRIBLY
Ichang Cnnnibals Cut on PIECES OF
Flesh from Living Body and Eat
Them and Drink Blood.

VANCOUVER, b. c., March S.-Chinese
papers received by the steamer Empress of
India give details of the murder and torture
of a Roman Catholic priest near lchang.
The priest was Father Victorian Jean Del
Brouck, a Belgian. He was captured by
thieves, who tied him up and fendishly tor
tured him. One account says that as the
priest hung from the tree to which he was
tied pieces were cut from his thighs and
eaten by his tormentors. From the condi-
ton of his flesh fire was evidently applied
to it and slugs fired into the more vital
party of the body.
Fina1y his body was cut open from the
chest to the bottom of his bowels, his va
rious organs were taken out and eaten by
these so-called sem-civiized people, who
at the same time drank his blood. He was
also mutilated in a way that cannot be de-
scribed and his head cut off, boring hole
into the top OF the skull large enough to
put ones fist in.
