MURDER AND LOOTING
CHINA WARNS THE LAMA OF THE
MONGOLS,
PEKIN, January 27. President Yuan-Shi-Kai has telegraphed a final warning to Hutukhtu, tho deified Lama of the Mongols. Ho remonstrates with the latter, for bis barbarism at Kobdo, in Western Mongolia, and elsewhere, where his troops murdered and looted, outstripping the crimes of the most lawless of robbers. China will not permit the maltreatment of citizens without taking action.
Several persons who have returned recently from Mongolia have reported that extreme cruelties were perpetrated by the Mongolian soldiers in Urga. Not long ago more than eighty Chinese civilians were buried alive in a cave. Most of the Chinese infants, when they fall into these murderers’ hands are crucified at the doors of the house with a large nail driven through their hearts. Women are brutally outraged and then killed. It is hoped that the republican army will soon send an expedition against tbe Urga Government for the relief of tbe Chinese colonists.
