CHINESE LEPERS
 SHOT AND BURNED
Thirty-nine Victims of Disease Mur-
 dered by Official Order.

Shanghai Jan. 1o.-Thirty- mine 1ep- CTS recently were put to death in an atrocious manner by order of the pro- vinciaI authorities of Manning, prov7 , ince of Kwang-Si. The sufferers from the dread disease first were shot and then their bodies were burned in a huge trench.
 These admvices were received here today in letters from the Catholic mis- sion at Manning The 1atters were dated December IA.
 They stated that the 1epers lived in the woods a few miles outside of the city of Manning. The mission sought permission to build. at it's own expense a 1azarette for them and the pro vincial authorities pretending a con- sent, dug pit in which was placed wood soaked with kerosene.
 At the point of the bayonet the lep- CTS then were driven into the pit and shot and the pyre was lighted and their bodies burned in the presence of a large crowd. The authorities offered rewards for the discovery of other 1epers and this offer resulted in the shooting of one more man afflicted with the disease.
 The govSernor- after the massacre issued a. proclamation in which he ac- cused the 1epers of having committed outrages. The letters from the mis- sion say there is no foundation for this charge.
