!" HelChaHt III the leather business,
 and sto'e everything it contained.
 The proprietor tried to hide himself
 In the cellar, but he was found, drag
 ged into the street, where he was
 stabbed and shot to death as was his
 nephew.
 It was at this time that three
 Chinese were tied to a horse and
 dragged along the streets to the plaza
 where two of them were killed and
 the third, boy, was saved by an
 American lady who put her arms
 around him and defied the mob.
 The next place was the Shanghai
 branch store, which they also burst
 open, taking all the goods and killing all the people they found there. Af-
 ther this they proceeded to Tee Hop
 Mans general store, which they loot ed and dragged thirteen Chinese out into the streets and killed them with
 matchetes and knives. The Shanghai company and the Wah Tick Bank, occupied the same building. The em- ployes of the two establishments
 lived in the upper floors as well as other countrymen of theirs and the whole of them, numbering twenty five were killed by the mob. Two of them were cut to pieces, one the treasurer of the bank, and another mans head was cut off and thrown out of the window into the street. The flow of blood was so great that 1t actually ran through the flooring ana dripped to the ground floor.
 The Reform club was attacked and fifteen or sixteen men killed, among them being the secretary of the club. There was an immense number of stores scattered throughout the city and the whole of these were sacked and their owners killed.
 Tt is to be observed that evety Chinese house was carefully closed and the windows boarded up in many cases. Most of them displayed their flags, but in every case the flag was pulled down and torn to pieces.
 This terrible state of affairs con- tinued until committee of the prin cipal men of business, headed by the American consul, waited upon the of the rebel troops and demanded that such outrages be stopped. More than two hundred who had escaped the gen. eral slaughter were then taken to the city jail and kept there for two nights, but the members of the prison guard searched them and took away all the money they had and articles of clothing which they fancied, so that on leaving the prison they were and almost naked.
 Tn all this slaughter, there was most extraordinary display of bar barous and savage cruelty. Some of the unhappy Chinese were shot first and stabbed afterwards; in other cases they were first stabbed and then shot; others were cut up into small pieces, others beheaded, others tied to horses by their queues and dragged along the streets while oth- CTS had their arms or legs tied to different horses and were in this manner torn asunder. Others were stood up naked in the market gardens inside the city, and there each one was assigned to marksman, who made target of his victim.
 "A very active search was made for hidden Chinamen. A Miss Garcia, a Mexican young lady. had hidden nine Chinamen under beds in her house. Her father went out into the street and expostulated with the mob The crowd declared he was on the side Of the Chiaamen, and shot him. Five times they went to the house, to know if there were any Chinamen there, but this brave Mex icaii girl asked them how she could think of sheltering anybody in that house. when her father had just been killed. In this way she saved the lives of nine men.
 "A Mexican lawyer tried to hide three Chnamen, but the mob got wind of the fact and demanded that the three be delivered to them, under threat of setting fire to the house. The lawyer then drove the three vic- tims out of the house and they were shot.
