London. Aug. l9.-The execution of

followed The correspondent continues:
President Yuan Shi Kai. alarmed at the
outcry, is publishing Vice-Presdent Ii
Iuen-IIungs kilograms in order to fasten
the blame on that official. and fearing
assassination surrounds himself with
troops.
according to Chinese newspapers the
execution was carried out in a flendish
manner. The Bannerman General Yuan
Chi Kuei. who was entrusted with the
execution dined with HIS victim In Euro
pean hotel and toasted him. When the
dinner was over he followed his victim
in another carriage to his lodging.
ION alghting from the vehicle Gen.
Yuan Chi Kuei blew whistle as n
signal whereupon a forest of sabres and
bayonets sprang up like magic and sur
rounded Chang Cheng WI. who was seiz-
ed and bound. flung into a mule cart and
carried To the military court. No evil
dence was given at the trial and the
accused officer was condemned TO imme-
date execution
"The first volley not killing the
prisoner, repeated volleys were fired
until tho generals body was complete
ly irsemboweled. 1t being necessary
to dress the corpse a message was
sent to the victims wife for more
