THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH,
HONAN TERROR.
WHY NORTHERNERS FLED.
SIGNS OF COMMUNISM.
Tsingtao, June 20,
The first letters that have come through from Honan,. 'since the evacuation of the city of Kaifeng, by the Northern Kroo, on May 29, have just been delivered. From these letters we learn
a
good deal of the terrors through which the residents of that city passed from May 23 until the date of the last letter, Junė 5.
On the former date, the greatest signs of uneasiness on the part of the. administrative heads of the city, was observed, and all kinds of wild rumours began to circulate freely. These rumours all had to do with the defeat of the Fengtien forces, and the imminent possibi- lity of the approach of the Nation- alist armies.

The Retreat Commences. The following day, two tuan of troops, belonging to the 11th Army appeared in Kaifeng. They told stories of their defeat In the neighbourhood of Shangtani and Chumation. They most assuredly had the fear of death in their hearts, and this fear was seeming- ly communicated to their heels for they covered the ordinary five days march from the Shangtsai district," in two days. These troops moved on toward the west, but on the 25th other disorderly troops appeared in the city. They told of their defeat at the hands of the Southerners, and then of their falling into the hands of the Red Spears. On the 26th there was every sign of a general | retreat of the armies.
