THREE HUNDRED MANCHUS
PLACED ON DEAD ROLL
Safety Of Foreigners, Including
American Missionaries,
Provided For


Peldn, Oct 12-SiN thousand Chin
ese troops in Hankow are reported
to have mutinel this morning and
killed three hundred Manchus.
Federals have surrounded the for
eign quarters and will remain ON
guard untii the safety Of all the for
eigners is assured
1t appears that the revoutionists
defeated in Sze-Chuen province
where they for some time besieged
the capital Chen Tu, transferred
their chief activities to Ilupeh prov
lnce with the intention OF making II
the base for renewed operations Ill
Sze-Chuen.
According to the officials, an up
rising in Wa Chang was planned Tor
last Monday night The plot was
discovered early that evening ana
thirty-two arrests were made. Deslr-
ing to terrorize the reyolutionArles,
four OF the prisoners were beheaded
in the street yesterday.
This drastic action of the authori-
ties does not appear to have had the
desired effect Immediately after
the execution a portion OF the gov
ernmen4 artillery force within the
city mutnied, went over to the ren-
els and the uprising was precipitat-
ed.
Disarection in the artillery spread
to other forces ana the revolution
aries took advantage of the situa'
ton. They started fires in many
parts of the city and attacked such
of the troops as refused to join them.
