Their defeats had been inflicted on the

a handful Of followerS-indeed, the
latest official news Ii that he has
| been killed.
| TT, therefore, comes as = great
shock to learn that he was from ten
to twenty thousand strong at Minchow.
The reason why less has been heard
OF his atrocities OF late Is because
there are few foreigners sufficient to
convince the government that, and
| the government does not give out bad
news.
white Wolf has now been devas-
tating the country for q year. AS far az
outsiders can Judge he could have
been suppressed hundred times over
had the troops done their duty, but
now 1t looks as II they will never
bring him to book.
1T In high time for some OF the
powers to offer resistance with an en-
phasis sufficient to convince the gov
eminent that this state Of affairs can
be endured no longer. They have
every right to interfere when foreign
lives are 50 imperiied and foreign in
terests so seriously menaced by the
Indulgence shown to a cutthroat rob-
Der.

gram from Lanchow reports the de-
struction Of the new and old cities
