LOOTING IN PEKIN.
THE FRENCH GENERAL'S REPORT. SERIOUS CHARGES. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright Paris, November 26. General Voyrox, leader of the French forces in China, in a confidential report to the Government on the operations, states that the French soldiers, sympathising with the missionaries, helped 300 converts with 40 waggons in pillaging Prince Li's palace of silver ingots. The missionaries gave every soldier a cheque. (Received November 27, 11 p.m.) London, November 27. The Paris correspondent of the Times states that the French Government is unable to publish General Voyron' report because he accuses ladies belonging to foreign Legations of, directly they were relieved, pillaging the richest shops in Pekin and concealing in the Legations loads of silk, laces, i«ory work and jewellery. All nations were involved.
