MUKDEN MURDERS.
Dictator’s Jealousy. GENERALS JiIILLED AT MAHJONNG BABIY. SHANGHAI, January 13. Details received of the Mukden assassinations, while indicating th”,, treacherous nature of their perforinance, are- somewhat contradictory. It seems that the slain generals were invited to a Mah Jonng party by Gliangh Such Liang. The latter excused himself. A party of soldiers shortly afterwards entered and fired volleys at the guests. Yangyuting received ten bullets in tEe head. Changyiuhuai attempted to reply with a revolvesiL but wae likewise perforated.
It is belived that the. real cause of the young dictator’s murderous conduct was jealousy of Yangynting’s growing power. Reports of an alleged nnti-Government conspiracy are merely camouflage. There are no signs yet of political complications arising from the incident.
