PEKIN AT MERCY OF VICTORIOUS
REBEL SOLDIERS WHO HAVE REVOLTED
Government of Republic Must Rely Upon Manchu Troops to
Maintain Semblance of Order—Many Citizens Murder
ed In Homes and On Streets-—Property Loss
Estimated At $15,000,000.
Pekin, March 4.—President
Yuanshikai's government has lost,
all control of the victorious rebel
soldiers and they have revolted.
Many citizens have been killed in
their homes and on the streets by
the soldiers while on pillaging ex
peditions.
The city was fired in dozens of
places and it is estimated the loss
of property will exceed $15,000,
000. The government of the new
republic has to depend upon the
Manchu troops who remained loy
al to the royal family until the
emperor's abdication and are now
fighting for the government.
The legations are being defend
ed by more than 20,000 troops
landed from foreign warships arid
arc safe. The rebel soldiers have
not been paid and President Yuan
has appealed to the government
to call a session of the national
assembly in order to raise money.
Yuan has asked recognition of the
republic by the world's nalions,
but it is not believed any of the
powers will act until he has ap
pointed a cabinet. The anli-re
public sentiment is strong in
many parts of tiie country, par
ticularly in Manchuria and an
outbreak is expected to occur at
any time. The country is being
ravaged by bandits and th«; revolt
of the troops will give the brig
ands unrestrained license to pill
age the cities and towns.
