THE NANKING

SITUATION.

Reversos{for Rebels.

Nanking, August 28-Fighting still goen on. Every place where there were soldiers or offioläls is being shelled. The gunners are not experts, but many non-combatants are being killed. There was very heavy firing yesterday evening and the soldiers told me that at night they were going out of the South Gase to Aght a great battle, life or death struggle. They consinly were at it all the night and are still fighting to-day..

On Thursday the powers that Is visited the merchants guild with a company of bomb-throwers and demanded $400,000, but the merchants were not so generous as to put out such a loan. Later they came again and ordered #100,000-$80,000 for the sol- diers and $20,000 for travelling expensea for the Government when it retires. This rebel outfit bas been a hold-up from the beginning.

One after another has come and made a revolution, robbing the merchants and people as he retires. Nanking has found that revolutions are costly luxuries. We hear of individuals being locked up and ransoms of several thousand dollars being demanded.

I have just been out to rescue a relative of a Red Cross coolie who was hold up for $206. Wa are learning methods of Govern mont! They have a Confiscation Bureau and it is taxation accord ing to a man's ability to pay, not according to the benefits received from the State.
