Rear Admiral G, H. Barrett, cp. kindly informs us that the following wireless message hae been received from H. M. 8.
Gnat relative to the looting at Tehan, Arrived at Ichang. The town was thoroughly and systematically looted by local troops on the night of November 20.
The Chamber of Commerce has agreed to pay the local General 60,000, which has eased the situa tion. The town is now quiet. All foreigners are safe at present.
A considerable amount of Japanese property was destroyed by fire. Further looting may occur, but I consider this to be unlikely. There is practically nothing left to loot except foreign property and houses.
