MASSACRE IN CHINA
REPORT CONFIRMED. MOSLEM RISING FEARED(By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyrlirnt.) (By Telegraph—Press Association.) SHANGHAI, Oct.. 13. The recently reported massacre in the Kansu Province of thousands of Chinese by Moslems emanated from New York through the Famine Relief Commission. It is now confirmed. Despatches received to-day from Pciping (formerly Peking), comprise the first news received at Shanghai. The trouble commenced in June after the failure of Moslem delegates to secure from the provincial authorities a reduction in taxes. A general-Moslem uprising followed. The slain-are estimated in the local reports at 100,000, instead of 200,000 as reported from America. The districts affected are in the neighbourhood of Lanchow. The misery of the population has been increased by the failure of crops and a famine is 'unavoidable.
