devastation caused by the northern

One correspondent says: 'Lilfng,

that escaped damage by fire or 9TH

only with difficulty.
Packing, after changing hands
four times. was effectively sacked by
northern troops on May II. The
premises of the Asiatic Petroleum
company, the Standard Oil company,

while great soficitude was shown
by a staff officer in protecting a Ger

anti-foreign temper manifested tow

the troops pass they spread ruin,
