PAYING TERRIBLE PENALTY.
Chinese Suffering Horrible Vengeance irom
the Russians and French

Copyright, 1900. The Associated PressJ
Taku. Aug. 30.-Nia Shanghai. Sept.
3.-The Chinese in the Pei Ho valley
are paying dearly for the folly Of
their government. The retributiol
they are suffering exceeds the ordinary
penalties of war. Along the river and
the roads travelled by the foreign
troops between Tien Tsin and Pekin an
orgie Of looting and destruction con-
tinueS with much useless slaughter Of
unotfending inhabitants. While the
international forces We're advancing,
the commanders, notably the Japan
csc. Americans and British. enforced
certain DEGREES of protection for prop
erty not needed for military purposes.
At that time most Of the population.
except the fighting men. had fled, but
now the people are returning to their
homes only to find no shelter or rice
or occupation. In the over-crowdel.
famine threatened districts away from
the river their lives and small posses
sions are at the mercy of bands OF sol
diers travelling about without officers.
The conditions prevailing leave little
ground for the favorable comparison Of
civilized warfare with Chinese
methods. Robbery. ravishing and
murder are so common that every re-
sponsible person one meets contributes
stories from personal observation. The
walled city of Tung Chow was the
only town in the pathway of the inter
national forces whose people remained
and attempted to continue business.
During its occupation the japanese
patrolled the place, efficiently protected
the people and prevented looting be-
yond the amount inevitable with any
army General Chaffee stationed a
guard around to the historic temple
forbidding his troops to enter. The
commanders encouraged the inhabi-
tants to resume business, promising
protection to all peaceful persons.
