The Tibetan outbreak at Moh-ub hag been settled a Jo Chinese. A certain monastery previously under Moh-uh, religiously speaking, reverts to Labrang. Labrang is one of the two big monasteries in Amdo Prov vince, northeastern Tibet. The two monasteries, new and old Mehuh, with their districts, under the control of Taochow, of course, in a civil sense, remain so to-day, but in military parlance (which is the real power in Chinese government everywhere) they have been apportioned to the Chen Shao-si (Taoyin) of Hiochow. Heh-tso, another monastery in the district with Labrang, civilly under the magistrate of Hsuinhua, a neighbouring city, goes under the military wgis of Gen. Ma from Sining, the Border Commissioner of the Chunghai district.
Soldiers from here are now quartered in the Suchuh district, or, rather, at the monastery. Another exhibition of the mailed fist towards the Tibetans.- Word has it that Moslem soldiers under the command of Gen. Ma's brother (Ma from Sining) did some looting in Tibetam country on their own account in connexion with this recent affair and their superior was promptly fined Tls. 1,000, which was turned into the hands of Gen. Pei, our Taoyin here. This proved to be a little stroke to get some funds into his depleted treasury, for the local soldiers' pay is in arrears for seven months.
Mr. Ien, the retiring magistrate, made his departure for good on the eighth of the 12th moon. From various individuals he was the recipient of seven "nam ming san," the "ten-thousand-name umbrella." I must correct what I formerly said, for instead of being retained once, actually he had been retained thrice, M. Peng, the pro tem man, is to be succeeded by a Mr. Suen, of Chihli, who is soon to appear on, the scene to take up the seals of office as our new local mandarin.
