The following telegram, received yesterday from the Rev. J. B. of Teingkiangpo, has been kindly handed to us by the Central China Famine Relief Committee Teiogkiangpa. Nov. 14.

Teingkiagpa was wacked on the 6th instant, and the soldiers mutinied. The low probably amounts to TIs, 10,000,000 and basiners is paralyzed. All the banks have been robbed and the country to the north in fall of looting mobs. Foreiguera are safe and the city in now quieter, The dollar exchanges 180cash; no cheques ara being received, No work can be done antu the country is settled and order restored. There are no foodstuffs available here they cannot be stored safely. The troops, of whom there are about 2,000 here, must restore order. Can you get sapphos or money forward? Business men ard the gentry are busy keeping the city safe from the country mobs.
