MASSACRED BY MOSLEMS
TERRIBLE STORY FROM CHINA SLAIN NUMBER 100,000 (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) SHANGHAI, Saturday. The recently reported massacre in the Kansu province of thousands of Chinese by Moslems emanated from New York through the Famine Relief Commission. It is now confirmed. Dispatches received to-day from Peiping (formerly Peking), comprise the first news received at Shanghai. The trouble commenced in June after the failure of Moslem delegates to secure from the provincial authorities a reduction in taxes. A general Moslem uprising followed. The slain are estimated in the local reports at 100,000, instead of 200,000 as reported from America. The districts Effected are in the neighbourhood of Lanchow. The misery of the population has been increased by the failure of crops, and a famine is unavoidable.
