TIMES occur daily
What has especially surprised foreign
ers here has been the determination
with which the Chinese. always hither-
to considered a distinctly anti-military
people. have fought since the present
uprising started. On both the rebel and
imperialist sides the most reckless
bravery mas been shown. Much Of the
fighting has been at close quarters, with
the bayonet, and in every engagement
the dead have been actually piled In
heaps before either side would give
way.
The rebels. wherever victorious, con-
tinue to show the greatest consideration
for foreigners, but 1t is appreciated that
this Is due to the leaders intelligence
and that the rank and file are as Bit

the masses will sooner or later get out
of hand, in which case every European

CHINESE REBELS
IN FULL CONTROL
OF HANKOW NOW
Imperial Troops Overwhelm-
ingly Defeated In Big
Battle.

PEKIN, Oct. 20-The rebels over
whelmingly defeated the imperial troops
at Hankow yesterday. according to a
message received here today from the
scene of the battle by way of Kiu
Kiang. Direct telegraphic oommunica-
ton with Hankow Is still interrupted
and few details are known. 1t Is said
the imperial forces losses were very
heavy and that the rebels are in COM
plete control Of Hankow.
The victorious rebels are reported to
be ransacking Hankow now for Man
chus and mercilessly killing them wher-
ever found. Not even babies are spared.
The Chinese seem fairly mad with "ha-
tired Of the alien race which has so
long dominated their government and
oppressed the country.
Diplomats here do not believe that
foreigners at Hankow are in much
danger. as accommodation can easily
be found for all OF them aboard the
ten or twelve cruisers and gunboats
Off the city. but 1t Is feared they may
suffer heavy property loss II forced to
abandon their homes and places of busi-
ness.
From the governments standpoint the
seriousness Of the rebel victory at Han
kow cannot be exaggerated. Literally
millions of Chinese have been awaiting
the outcome of the fighting there to de-
eide whether to remain loyal or to cast
In their lot with the revolutionists. The

clusion that outbreaks will begin start

flee the country.
