LONDON, March l.-Pcrsistcut reports

patch to the Daily Telegraph. that de
tachments of troops loyal 10 the Manchu
dynasty have entered the southern por-
tion OF the city.
When the outbreak began. tho corrc

maincd idly in the streets watching the
looters. In view Of this apathy it is con-
sdcred that the powers are entitled TO
demand the severeSt punishment for the
constabulary. as countless European and
Japanese women and children arc scat

law. Soldiers of the Third division, in
effort to suppress the rlotlug. shot
without regard TO the safety OF pas

Third made gallant attempt TO quell
the disorders and shot down many
lootcrs.

necessity, as fresh rislngs are inevitable.

GUNNERS EARLY AF|ELD
FOR QUAIL AND RABBIT
Game Reported Plentiful in the
Adjoining County in
Maryland.

Gunners were out bright and early this
morning after quail and rabbit in Mont
gomery county. Md. Before the sun had
cleared the horizon the gunners were
afeld, and from the District line all the
way out to Rockville a steady lombard
ment began, which continued through
out the day. The season for quail and
rabbits opens in Montgomery county No
vember TO- but as this date fell on Sunday
this year, hunting was postponed until
today.
Within an hour after sunrise the re-
ports of shotguns from every direction
sounded like miniature battle. One
would hear the bass boom of big ten
gauge gun with black powder load. off
IN one direction, and a second later the
sharp staccato bark of a sxteen-gauge
.repeater, shooting nitro powder. would
crack somewhere else, while in between
the reports of guns of other sizes and
loads kept up a continuous crackle.
The rains OF last week, 1t is reported,
laid the dust and made it easy for dogs
to set the birds, while the dampness kept
the weeds and grass from making too
much racket hunters p.owed their
way through. Birds are reported to be
abundant this year. two brOOdS in many
instances, having been reared. Favorable
weather during the spring and summer
helped to overcome the effects of last
winters beiOwzero weather. and in
a most every part of Montgomery
county the quail are reported numerous
and in fine condition. Rabbits are also
plentiful and fat.
