CHINESE VENGEANCE.
DEFEATED LEADER SHOT. WIFE SUFFERS SIMILAR FATE. Received December 28, 9.45 a.m. TOKIO, Dec. 27. A special report from Mukden states that the head, arms and legs of Kuo and his wife were paraded in the city and later exposed on the main gate. Mukdenites report that Kuo refused to surrender, necessitating his shooting. The Japanese Foreign Office states: “We feel deceived, inasmuch as Chang agreed to spare Kuo’s life while the execution had already been accomplished. The Consul was instructed to try to save the lives of minor generals and Kuo’s four surviving widows and ten children. Chang-tso-lin refuses to promise not to execute Kuo’s relatives, and a general massacre is feared. Chang is celebrating his victory, and also the arrival of a child of Ins fifth wife.
Kuo’s forces at Shanliaikwan surrendered, clearing Manchuria of the rebels.—Sydney Sun cable.
