TROOPS REVOLT
PANIC IN PEKING (Australian Press Association.) (Rec. March 3, 5.5 p.m.) Peking, March 2. The city experienced another panic this morning. A regiment of former . Shantung troops, incorporated at the close of the recent hostilities in the Nationalist army, mutinied in the vicinity of Lama Temple. They manned that section of the city walls and commenced shooting at anything and anybody, halting business and traffic. Loyalist troops' surrounded the isolated temple and quelled the revolt and disarmed the mutineers. The number of casualties is unobtainable. The district condoned the uprising, which is believed to be part of the former Shantung war lord, Chang Chung-chang’s attempt to regain power. Precautions are being taken wherever Sh'antungese troops are stationed. At Chefoo the situation remains quiet. ■
