Hangchow, Nov. 6.
Last night the Tartar city was taken possession of by the revolutionaries without resistance or bloodshed. Only two, so far as I know, have been injured, and they are in the hospital, and one killed. As I rode through the Tartar city this morning, and went to the various yameos, including that of the Tartar General, every thing was quiet. The rebel soldiers wore quietly searching the houses and throwing out on to the streets quick-firing guns, rifles and cartridges, matchlocks, etc., and other relics of modern and ancient warfare.
Up to the time of writing I have been unable to find out where the Tartar General and the real fighting men of the Tartar garrison are.
Yesterday Kwo An-shang, Tartar of good reputation, was called to the Provincial Assembly to consult as regards a peaceful settlement, the conditions of which were that the Tartar soldiers should lay down their arms and give up their ammunition, and become citizens. Meantime, they would receive their usual pay until they could provide for themselves in other ways.
This was agreed to at about 7 and at about midnight the rusts peacefully entered the city—Our Own Correspondent.
