REPUBLICAN CHINA.
PRISONERS PARDONED. By Cable —Prew Association—Copyright. Received 12, 1-1.30 p.m. Pekin, March 12. 1 A manifesto marking the inception of the Republic pardons all prisoners except murderers and robbers, and remits overdue laud taxes.
1000 EXECUTIONS WEEKLY.
Received 12, 11.30 p.m. London, March 12. The Daily Telegraph's Pekin correspondent states that summary executions continue, 1000 being decapitated in a week at Pekin and Tientsin. Often four or five corpses are left in a heap in the streets, where the rabble gloat over them.
A few guilty soldiers are punished, but those executed are mostly mere rabble. The general situation is unhealthy.
