MASSACRE IN CHINA
REBELS AT HANkoW PUT TO THE
SWORD BY THE iMPERiALIsT
TROOPS AFTER BATTLE.
Slaughter Of Defeated Soldiers and
Rarbarous outrages Perpetrated on
Innocent Persons Likely to Hin
der Peace Negotiations.

Pekin.-The massacre of natives at
Hankow by imperialist troops, intel
ligence of which has reached both the
war board and the German legation,
may prove serious hindrance to the
peace negotiations which Yuan Shi
Kai has been endeavorlng to inaugu-
rate with the rebel leaders. The i'm
perialists apparently have got beyond
control and further fighting is feared.
In such a case it will be difficult to
protect the foreign concessions, as
they are divided from the native city
by streets only fifty or sixty feet wide.
1t is reported that the war board at
gestion of foreign doctors to form a
Red Cross society on the lines of the
Geneva convention, the board seeming
to feel that the rebels do not deserve
humane treatment The massacre ac-
cording to some advices, began before
the departure of General Yin Tchang.
The exodus from Pekin continues,
the doors of many shops as well as
private houses being closed in antici-
patton of a massacre.
In the fight at Hankow on October
% and 29, no prisoners were taken
by the imperialists. Rebels captured
alive were shot or decapitated.
1t is learned that the most barbarous
outrages were perpetrated on limo
cent persons in the villages An Of
ficer of Yin Tchang's staff explained
that the outrages were committed by
only forty men of the Hu-Peh division.
