AND
JAPAN,
Savage Soldiery Plundering and Maltreating the Populace.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—A dispatch from Shanghai states that the power of Viceroy Li Hung Chang has steadily decreased. Every day's delay of promised victory over the Japanese adds to the danger of his downfall. Reinforcements from the more remote provinces en route to Corea are at a standstill, terrorizing the cities in which they have halted. Almost a reign of terror prevails even at Tien Tsin. The savage soldiery are everywhere plundering and maltreating the wretched populace and native merchants are fleeing from Tien Tsin to save their lives. The French minister has formally protested against the action of the Chinese in boarding the French mail steamer Saturday. A letter from the resident minister at Seoul states that a large military hospital has been erected on the heights and numerous sick Japanese are treated there. Constant conflicts are taking place between the outposts but few badly wounded have been taken to Seoul.
