This was done and their command: ing officers, three in number, were invited to enter the Marshal's ear-m: riage. When they entered the carriage they were asked to hand over their revolvers. They questioned this procedure, but were informed that It was' usual "for officers to disarm on entering the Marshal's carriage. Accondingly, they handed over their revolvers. Then the Young Marshal lectured them on their failure to maintain line and informed them that the regiment would be disbanded. He ordered them to break this Intelligence to the hundred officers lined up on the platform. Several of them proceeded to disarm and placed their weapons on the ground, but when they saw that the bulk of their colleagues declined to do so they picked up their arms again. Immediately the party on the platform opened fire on the train, The Young Marshal's aide-do-camp and the chief of his bodyguard were killed by his side and most of the occupants of his car had bullets through their clothing or in close proximity. The train pulled out and the bodyguard return ed thi fire and dispersed the officers, The regiment was subsequently disarmed and the Young Marshal returned post haste to Mukden. Reuter,
