SLAUGHTER PEN OF
NANK|N STREETS
BY MANCHUS
imperial Troops Murder Men
Women and Children.
ALL QuEUSLESS PERSONS
innocent Chinese Who Had No Part
In Rebellion Suffer Horrible
Deaths

Nankin. Nov. 10.-Historic Nankin
this evening is the shambles of the
Manchu butcher The sun sets up
on a scene of fire, rapine, desolation
and butchery unrecorded in modern
history.
Tonight $4,000 Manchu and imper-
ial old style soldiers hold Purple hill
where they are entrenched, while
from beneath their stronghold they
are driving before them hordes OF
Chinese out of the city.
Nearly 100000 representing every
class, have escaped.
Innocent Chinese leaving every
thing behind them are fleeing terror
stricken and destitute to the shelter
in the fields at the rear OF the re-
form forces. The latter numbering
between 10000 and 10000 are impo-
tent to check the slaughter or re-
venge the slain because of their lack
of ammunition.
The revolutionists had delayed a
second concerted attack upon the
Manchus pending the arrival Of am
muniton expected from Shanghai.
The Manchus took advantage of the
situation.
During last night the republicans
made demonstration, but did little
shooting and there were few fatal
ties
The foreigners are being treated
with the utmost consideration. When
the gates were opened this morning
the people thronged toward the coun-
try, each carrying his belongings and
driven by the imperialists.
Soon afterward, the carnage com
menced Since the night of Novem'
Der when the first attack was made
by the revolutionists, the Tartar gen.
eral has endeavored to terrorize the
inhabitants by wholesale executions
Those whose queues had been cut
off were beheaded by the dozens but
today when the order for a genera
slaughter was given the whole native
city was invaded by the Manchu sol
diers who ruthlessly massacred men
women and children
The aged, the young and the babes
in arms were shown no mercy. An!
queueless victim was beheaded imme
diately.
