MEXICANS KILL 206 CHINESE TERRIBLE MABBACRE OF DE FENSELESS PEOPLE WHEN TORREON IS CAPTURED. SHOT WITHOUT MERCY CHINESE MINISTER AT WASH INGTON WILL INVESTIGATE THE SITUATION. Mexico City.—Official reports reach ing here tell the story of a massacre of 206 Chinese at Torreon, following the rebel occupation. Upon receipt of the news the Chi nese charge d'affaires made formal representations to the Mexican gov ernment. The details of the three-day battle and sacking of Torreon aro replete with incidents of cruelty which show clearly that the rebel leaders did not hold their men in control, or else de liberately turned them loose to prey upon a conquered and defenseless people. The official advices do not give the number of dead, but taking the 206 Chinese as a basis, it is certain the number is larger. The last day of the battle was May 16th. That day Gen. Lejero retired with his federal forces and the rebels entered the city. Citizens found themselves utterly unable to control the mob and reports Indicate that scores of innocent resi dents were victims. Always antagon istic to the yellow race, the Mexican rebels and mob engaged in a race riot. ▲ great part of the business of Tor reon is conducted by Chinese, some of whom are wealthy, and, according to reports, the rioters shot down or stabbed them without mercy. That the Chinese charge d’affaires will be able to secure indemnity for many of the victims is doubted here, for It is a fact that since Sir Ctaen . tung Liang Cheng visited this country five years ago and advised his coun trymen to become Mexican citizens, al most all have taken out naturalization papers. The minister of foreign relations.de La Barra, has not received any word from Judge Carbajal that Francisco I. Madero had finally approved the Cabi net as suggested. So soon as Madero’s acceptance Is received, it may be as sumed that President Diaz will present his resignation to the Chamber of Dep uties. As soon as the depredations against Chinese subjects at Torreon, Mexico, are officially reported to the Chinese minister at Washington, who also is accredited to the Mexican government, he will take steps to protest. It is expected that Mexico will take prompt measures to investigate the situation with respect to the Chinese and offer them all protection possible In the present disturbed condition of the country.
