SILENCE OF DEATH.
Pervades Many Villages of China.
Scenes Horrible Beyond Power Of

Pervades Many Villages of China.
Scenes Horrible Beyond Power Of
Description.
E LONDON. Nov. 13.-The Globe this
afternoon publishes a letter from Bel
gian gentleman who has been travelling
to Pckin via the Trans Siberian rail-
road. He describes, under date Of Sep
TENDER 6, what he saw in the Amur
river. His account surpasses in horror
those previously published.
"The scenes l have witnessed during
the three days since the steamer left
Blagovetchensk," he says. ARE horrible
beyond the powers OF description. It Is
the closing tableau Of a fearful human
tragedy Two thousand were delIber-
ately drowned at Morxo, two thousand
at Rabe and eight thousand around
Blagovetchensk. total OF twelve thou
sand corpses encumberlng the river,
among which were thousands OF wo-
men and children.
Navigation was all but impossible.
Last week a boat had to plough her
way through a tangled mangled mass
OF corpses dashed together by their long
hair. The banks were literally covered
with corpses. In the curves Of the
stream were dark, putrld. smelling
masses OF human flesh and bone, surg
Ing and swaylng In the steamers wake
and wash. The captain valnly ordered
full speed ahead. The sight and smell
will be ever with us.
From Blagovetchensk to Aigun, for
ty-flve kilometres, numerous villages
studded the bank. with thriving, in
dustrious population OF over 100000.
That Of Algun was 10000. No one will
ever know the number of those who
persisted by shot. sword and stream.
Not village is left. The silence Of
death was around US. the smoking ruins
OF Agun on the right. with broken
down. crumbling walls and shattered,
roofless houses" ~
