"Down with Imperialism" While Foreigners Tend Sick Man Chungking, Sze., Oct. 4.
Yesterday the Chinese press reported the death of General Yang Sen at Chubsien in the eastern part fof this province. Yang Sen had been sick for some time, so Dr. Gentry of the American Methodist Mission in Chungking and a Chinese doctor belonging te the mission were called down to. see the old warrior. Dr. Gentry returned, leaving the Chinese doctor in charge and a few days Inter the death of Yang So appeared in the press. This now proves to be untrue and, while General Yang is not entirely out of danger, he is making some progress.
While Dr. Gentry was attending Yang Sen and while the ELM. Indies in the city were doing all they could to provide the sick man with milk and other necessaries the town was placarded with posters calling for the "knock out" British imperialism and down Christianity, Undoubtedly the yan was not responsible for this and no doubt some of his faithful followers, fearing their great lender might be' accused of "eating foreign slops," took the precaution to placard the city while the general was drinking milk from a British compound and being attended to by an American doctor.
We are glad the report in the Chinese press is not true, otherwise the kind Indies in the C.L.M, compound might have had their houses pulled down for causing the untimely exit of this great Chinese warrior.
