Big Mutiny Near Peking.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 29, 1912:
Eight Thousand Troops Seize Road to Capital and Loot Villages.
    LONDON, Thursday, Aug. 29.— The Chinese Government is endeavoring to hush up the mutiny of 8,000 troops at Tung-Chow, twenty miles east of Peking, according to a dispatch from Peking to The Daily Telegraph, and the authorities have taken military precautions to protect all the roads leading to the capital.
    The mutineers, the dispatch adds, have defied the imperial troops sent against them. They have seized the road leading from Tung-Chow to Peking and are looting the adjacent villages.
    A telegram from Tien-Tsin says that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen proposed yesterday that China borrow nothing from the six-power group of bankers. The ex-Provisional President was present at a meeting of Chinese Ministers at Peking, which was also attended by President Yuan Shi-Kai. He declared it possible for China to obtain funds from other sources without vexatious conditions.
