Atrocities are daily perpetrated en- for
eigners and natives both BY the organ
lied police and incoming troops, which
makes 1t impossible for the civil author
tiles of New Chuang to control the Situa-
tion. It is feared that a reign of terror
will be precipitated If the neutral powers

ton destroyed the contents of a hotel
owned By a German where three Japa-
nese had registered under the protection
Of the civil administrator. These Japa-
nese were bound. stabbed and robbed OF
food, money and jeWelry. They were res
cued with difficulty by United States Con-
sui Miller. together with three women
refugees. who. the civil administrator
had assured Mr.. Miller, would be pro-
tected.
The administration admits the gravity
of the situation, but declares that Vice
ROY Aiexieff alone can remedy it. It is
believed here, however, that the main
tenance of order at this treaty port and
the prevention of these violations of in
national rights can be insured only by
an instant international plan, supported
BY an armed force.
Mines have been constructed and prep
arations made for depositing them at the

boat SvoutSeh.

Of Feb. 8. He believed that 1t returned
