NANKING, Nov. 1O.-Nanking to-
night is desolate. Fully a thousand
of its inhabitants lie massacred, and
business houses and dwelling houses
have been looted. Citizens have fled
from the city and still others are
joining the exodus. Along the rail
way leading from the city. long
snake like line of humanity is trudg-
ing, seeking safety.
1t was the hand of the Manchus
that brought the devastation. While
the republicans were in camp three
miles away awaiting ammunition and
re-inforcements, the Manchus began
the work of carnage. Men, women
and children were slaughtered. Neith
er youth nor age was taken into ac-
count White, the emblem of the rev.
olution, marked its wearers for in
slant death.
Qucucless Heads Everywhere.
Queueless heads were to be seen
everywhere.
The imperialists are reported to be
short of ammunition for their big
Krupp guns, and their most capable
gunners are said to have deserted.
The republicans claim that owing to
the neutrality of the railway has
been unable to transport men and
guns from Shanghai. These are being
brought by boats and pack mules. A
desperate battle is expected shortly.
No Disturbances at Pelin.

was quiet within the capital and at

China and Is endeavoring to gain
recognitarce of the Hsuan province,
and confer with Yuan Shi Kai and his
HI Liang the ex-viceroy of Man
churia.
Chang and Pang Scrappers.
That Chang possibly may do so is
Indicated in messages received today
from Lanchau. A correspondent in
terviewed Chang and General Pang,
the latter temporarily in command
of tho twertieth division during
Chang's illness. Both generals, 1t is
said agreed that they would protect
the emporer II he Is still reigning, or
If he has abdicated that they would
side with the peace party and the con-
stitution.
Regardless of race. they stated II
the Manchus should massacre the
Chinese or viceroy they would fight
against the offending parties.
