all the people of this country should

the people may rest assured that they
will receive no harm and will have no

1t is, however, much to be feared that

informed Of the actual facts OF the situa-
ZION. and il is not unlikely that there may
be some bad characters. who, taking adj
vantage Of this critical time, will circulate
rumprs with a view TO creating panic in
the minds Of the public and thereby create
disturbances We have, therefore,
ordered the police and soldiers to eXer-
else the utmost surveillance over these
bad characters.
The public is hereby once more admon-
ished that It should peacefully pursue it's
da ilv occupations and not listen to un-
founded rumors. The public is hereby
cautioned that hereafter. should ony one
comment on the political affairs OF the
Chinese and foreign Governments in tea
houses, taverns, hotels ana other public
places and whose gossip should so dis
tort the actual aspect OF events and mis-
lead the public and create panic in the
minds Of the people, he shall be arrested

NEW YORK, Sept 24-Reports re-

| sulate indicate that the Russians in
Austrian Galicia are turning OH the
Jews. and many, according to the dis
patches, have been slaughtered.
The dispatches which. are said to
come from official Austrian sources,
gave very few details, but said that the
Jews were suffering heavily at the
! hands of the infuriated Russian troops,
whose officers could hardly control their
actions. Large numbers of Jews in Rus
sian Poland, according to the reports,
are deserving the Russian cause, fearing
the increased domination of the Russian
Government in the event of a sweeping
victory over the Austrans and Germans.
Since the Cars promises of freedom to
the Jews at the beginning of the war, the
status of the Jews and their probable ac-
ton lave been a subject of much in
terest.
A resume of the operations of the Aus

ing at Puers. Part of King Albert's
army has retired to the ramparts OF
Antwerp. The German force at Puers
is reported to have two of the great
siege guns that smashed the forts at
Liege and Namur.
(Puers is about eight miles from the
forts that protect Antwerp on the south
west. This report tends to confirm
dispatches from Ostend that the Ger
mans were advancing guns to lombard
Antwerp.
During the last week the Belgian army
has received reinforcements. The spirit
of the troops is excellent and they are
greatly encouraged by the successes
gained during the last few days in
sharp skirmishes with the Germans.
The German forces bent upon subju-
eating Antwerp have their line extend
ing westward almost into Client Their
artillery Is hard at work on the south
bank of the Scheldt, seven miles from
the city. Railway service has been sus-
pears to be menaced more seriously
than ever. The inhabitants, however,
have not ceased to hope that the city
will escape a direct attack.
At Ghent, it Is impossible because of
the meagre reports received, to deter
mine the progress of events across the
French frontier. 1t is conceded, how
ever, that whatever may happen to the
German armies in the southwest 1t is
certain that the Kaser's forces mean
to conquer Antwerp and to remain in
occupation of southern Belgium, re-
gardless of what price they may be
compelled to pay in lives.
A correspondent of the London Chron-
icle, who is with the Belgium army in
the field. wires that the Belgian army
is pushing on toward Brussels and Is
confident of regaining control of the
city. No statement Is made of the de-
tailed movements of the Belgans.
