CHINESE WAR HORRORS.

CHRISTIANS SPARED.

(FROM THE PEKING, CORRESPONDENT OF * TOE TIMIS,”]

What was meape to the Chinese in the provinces is something beyond belief. Cold-blooded politics national hatred, revenge, and much motives were respon sible for horrible atrocities in the Euro! pean war, but there is no comparison be tween the circumstances of that struggl and the chaotic conditions here. Chinese brigands and troops when they break loose on a countryside are not compelled by passion or politica to deal silly with their fellows They have so motive but loot, and in pursuit of it they display a fiendish cruelty and a destructive wa toaness worthy of savages, of the lowest degree.
