REDDEsT DAY OF CHINESE RE.

BLOODY MASSACRE
Women and Children Stabbed, Bodies
Piled In a Heap and City Is
Fired.

Hawking, China, NOV. 10.-Fire 10
completing tonight what the Manchu
sword left undone today. From Pur-
pie Hill twelve thousand Imperial
soldiers glutted with the blood Of the
Inhabitants view the flaming city.
Between twenty thousand and thir-
ty thousand revolutionists, moboliz-
~ three miles from the city, are
helpless because they have no amm4-
milton.
Boats and pack horses laden with
rifles and cartridges are making all
possible haste from Shanghai and
I their arrival will be signal for tre-
mondous battles. Thousands of men,
women and children were slaughtered
today, making it the reddest day OF
! the revolution against the ManchE
| dynasty.
The Manchus, realizing the preced-
ent of the rebels, descending upon
Hawking during last night and at day
light, begun the execution of an order
by the Tartar for general slaughter.
Hundreds had been executed pre-
yiously in an attempt to terrorlze the
inhabitants, but it was not believed
that an organized massacre would be
attempted Alarmed at the coming
of the entire forces of Manchus last
night, the inhabitants packed all their
belongings and made ready to flee.
When the gates were opened this
morning there was stampede TO-
the opening in the great wall, but
before the majority could pass through
the Manchus were upon them, cutting
them down with absolutely no mercy.
Those Mhc wore any white, the badge
of the rebel, whether handkerchief
or the white shoes Of mourning were
killed with greater brutality. Chinese
. found wearing foreign clothes, Or
without quques, ifiet l, ss same fate.
Hundreds Of children ana women
were stabbed, but left alive to die
under foot. How tlany were killed
cannot be even estimated. Bodies are
strewn everywhere and at the gates
they were piled about in great heaps.
The Manchus then set fire to the city.
Satisfied that the flames had gained
sufficient Roadway to deny the sur
viyors of the massacre, the Loyalists
retired to Purple Hill, where they are
celebrating the slaughter. The fire
is still raging at late hour and
but little of the city will escape des-
truct on.
