from Wuchang. The aid Of foreign
relief agencies will be extended to the
city's residents.
Story of Horror Confirmed.
Graphic reports of extreme suffer
ing among the civilian population in
Wuchang prompted the Secretary's
action. A report from Lockhart, sent
from Hankow on Thursday, reached
the State Department shortly after
the Secretary had cabled his instruc-
tions to Peking. This report stated
accounts of the situation in the be-
sieged city had been greatly eXag

firmed earlier official advices that

earlier estimate placed the number
of dead at 50 and yesterdays message
said Americans who visited the city
Wednesday confirmed the report.
The counsel general also said
compromise between the besieging
Cantonese forces and the Northern
garrison of Wuchang appears to be
near and because of this evacuation
of refugees had virtually ceased.
All Americans Safe.
Should fighting at Wuchang be
terminated by agreement. Lockhart
said. there will be no occasion for
American diplomatic and consular in.
tervention in the name of humanity.
The message yesterday reported all
Americans in Wuchang and Nan
chang safe and we'll and also indicated
decisive military developments were
expected soon in the vicinity of Kiu-
kiang, where Gen. Sun Chuan Fang
ally of the Northern faction, has been
attempting to cut Cantonese COM
munications about Hankow and WI
chang.
The message added that the Can
tonese were close to Kiukiang and
that Gen. Sun was aboard a gunboat
and many of his troops had been with
drawn from the city, although 1t had
not been completely evacuated on
