robber business, and robbed and muir
dered right and left, and do still. l

with our small garrison. The Chinese
dead are buried, and the town is
cleaned up and peaceable.
''There were 10000 dead Chinese
and probably One-third of the city is
burned by shot and shell or incendiar-
les. On account of the crowded cOndi-
ton of the city it would be a good
thing if One-half of it were destroyed"
