CHINA'S WAR.

UNBURIED DEAD LITTER WUCHANG STREETS.

(Our Own Correspondent.)

Shanghai, Oct. 6

A Hankow message reports that two rescue launches and several lighters successfully renewed their rescue effort, and proceeded to Wuchang on Sunday. and Monday, bringing twelve thousand women and children to Hankow.

The Northerners specially per mitted the beggar and impover Ished element to depart, holding.. the batter classes back.

Charitable organizations are caring for those rescued, who re aate appalling stories as to the con- ditions in Wuchang, where the people are eating dogs, cats and rats. The roots.and leaves from trees have already been eaten.

The military force is also starvs- ing after consuming all the live- stock.

Bodles cover the streets, un buried, coffins not being available as they are being filled with sand and used as barricades.

The refugees report that two hundred were killed during the recent sortie from the gate...

Rescue vessels are going again. The peace negotiations have en- tirely broken down.

"

Afy exact information regard- Ing which side is winning in the fighting areas is impossible. It is not even known here which side' holds Nanchang of the fate of the inhabitants, since the Southerners captured Tehan, where, communi- sation with Kiukiang is cut off. A rumour that the Southerners have captured Kiukiang is doubted here. NEW DRIVE' ON NANCHANG.")

Steamers Again' Coming *** Under Fire. ***

Hankow, Oct. 5. it is reported that the South- erners have commenced A fresh and more powerful drive towards Nanchang under the personal dir- [ection of 'Chang Kai-shek.

Despite assurance to the con- trary, steamers are again being subjected to rifle fire, this time in the vicinity of Hwangchow. Two Japanese vessels arrived yesterday, and the Butterfield and Swire B.5. Shenking-to-day, badly riddled, though fortunately there were no: Icasualties,

A Wuchang Stampede, Yesterday numbers of civilians, reported to be about two thousand, were allowed to leave Wuchang by. mutual consent of the contending parties. There was a frenzied stampede towards the gate which was opened a short time only, with the result that numbers of women and children were thrown down and trampled to death.

The refugees are in the most pitiful condition. Interviewed, they stated the conditions inside were most appalling. Numbers of people have already died of star- vation, while a similar fate awaits many other unless the blockade be speedily listed.-Reuter.
