Soldiers Letters Describe
Horrible CrueItieS in China
COMMITTED BY The RUSSIANS
II Has Become Sport for the Troops
To Shoot Down Chinese, Even
the Most Harmless

Berlin, Nov. 16.-The news that
Prince Tuan and Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang
had rebelled was greeted here as Ia
vorable sign. The Tageblatt says that
If it be true the rebellion will pos
sibly induce the emperor and empress
dowager to return to Pekin and place
themselves under the protection OF the
powers.
It is also rumored that a rebellion
has broken out in the province Of Kan
Su. Chung Chi Tung, the WI Chang
viceroy, is said to be raising 100000
troops and to have proposed to the
Nankin viceroy that they should COM
bine forces to oppose the allies, max
ing the Yang Use their base for oper-
ations against Shen ST.
The news from the German naval
society's China correspondent that
Herr Knappe, German consul general
in Shanghai, left yesterday for Nan
kin, is interpreted as significant Sew
erai newspapers believe that he will
confer with the viceroy about induc-
ing the court to return to Pekin.
Another batch of soldiers letters, de-
scribing horrible cruelties committed
in China at the orders Of superiors, is

such communications.
A correspondent of the Cologne Ga
zette cables that between Tien Tsin
and Polxin it has become a sport for
the allied troops, especially the Rus
slams, to shoot every Chinaman, even
the most harmless. A number oi
prominent papers now denounce such
methods. The Cologne Volks Zeitung
the Centrist organ, says:
such wholesale numbering will SOW
unquenchable hatred, destroying for
ever all chance of missionary work IL
China. The government must take no
tice Of these things and issue peremp
tory orders to Count Won Walderse'
to prevent them hereafter, as they arr
a shame to all civilization"
There are continued rumors OF th'
projected transfer of the Chinese cour
to Cheng Tu, but it is said that th'
viceroy of the province of Sze Chual
objects to such an arrangement.

IERCHANTS EFFECT A TRUCE

Tampa, Fla. Nov l6-A mob of
several hundred International Union
Cigarmakers fired on the factory OF
Gonzales Mora a Co. yesterday morn
ing. The house was occupied by sew
eral hundred men, women and chill
dren, belonging TO the Resistencia
union, at work A demand was made
by the International that these leave
the factory.
The demand was refused. Several
hundred shots were fred into the
building and the front riddled by bull
lets. No one was hurt. Since that
time the city has presented a wildly
excited condition, and the streets in
the neighborhocd of the cigar factory
have been thronged with people. All
of the factories in the city we're prac-
tically closed on account Of the dis
order.
All Of the factories are heavily
guarded by deputy sheriffs. Il is esti-
mated that more than 5000 people are
interested in the controversy.
No arrests were made for the rioting.
Yesterday afternoon an immense
meeting Of leading business men was
held in the court house and ringing
speeches made denouncing mob vio-
lence and strong resolutions adopted
assuring the manufacturers that they
would be protected If they desired to
reopen their factories. The meeting
also passed a resolution authorizing
the chairman to appoint a committee
of three business men and three man.
ufaCturers to ask the two unions 10
appoint similar committees and see il
the differences could not be settled be-
tween the unions.
These committees met at once and
soon agreed upon the basis of a set.
tlement. This was that all the mel
should go quietly to work. The In
ternationals are TO change their by
laws so that they can recognize the
Resistencia everywhere. Each is tC
appoint permanent committees Of ten
who are to settle all differences thai
may arise in the future. Each or.
ganization is to give a large cash bono
for faithful compliance with thi:
agreement
The proposition was adopted by al
four of the committees and recon-
mended to the central committees from
both unions. The Internationals have
agreed to it, practically, and the Re
sistencia union is still considering thi
matter. There are good reasons t
believe that it will be adopted. In tn
meantime things are quiet. But weri
it not for the settlement the officer
admit that there is every reason to be

THE HEALTH OF PARIS.
SATISFACTORY SHOWING BY THE
BOARD OF HEALTH
Paris, February q.

Paris, February 81
In view Of the coming Exhibition it is salts
factory to record that the sanitary reports of
the Paris Board Of Health, Just compiled which
will shortly be published. show that. notwith-
standing the prevailing influenza epidemic and
slight increase of smalIpox-whch is Just now
unusually frequent at Marsellles-the sanitary
condition of Paris is more favorable for the
corresponding season than has been noted for
some years. It had been expected that the tun-
nelling and open way excavations for the Metro
politan Railway and the general tearing up of
the streets made necessary by the new tram
way system and by the works connected with
the Exhibition would lead to increased mortality
through typhoid and malarial or infectious
fevers. An examination of the official figures
shows that these apprehensions were ground
less.
Dr. Brouadel and the Health Board have dur
ing the last few months enforced stringent and
comprehensive measures of local disnfection
In houses and subways. and to this it is at
tributed that typhoid fever has been held In
check The deaths in Paris from typhoid fever
during the year 1899 were I6.2 per one thousand
inhabitants. Indeed, NJ. Jabn- Comet, the lead
ing authority on the health statistics of Paris
considers that typhoid fever is under salts
factory control in Paris. and declares that the
deaths due to this disease for the four weeks
just ended are in a proportion which. II main
tanned throughout the year would bring down
the typhoid fever mortality from T6.2 per one
thousand inhabitants to 741 per thousand
inhabitants Nevertheless. it must be remem-
bered that Paris still holds the third place
among the cities of Europe where typhoid is
most prevalent and fatal. According to NJ.
Jablin- Comets figures the death rates owing
TO typhoid fever for the year 1899 in the princi-
pal cities of Europe were as follows:
