Lok don', June 4. A telegram dated in Sliang hae, China, has been received In this metropolis rcjwrting some of the circumstances which preceded and followed the capture of tho city of Talifoo, capital of a Mohammedan State in the province of Yunnan, South western Chsni, by the army of the Emperor of China, frightful Cruelties by the Conqueror. Tho Shanghae dispatch says the most fright fill scenes were witnessed in the conquered city iion tho entry of the Emperor's army. History of the Campaign. The imperialist forces that commenced the'r march against Talitbo about eight months since have succeeded in capturing that place, and, it appears, signalled their success by a wholesale slaughter of the inhabitants and such fiortion of the rebel army as fell into their hands.

Yunnan has long stood out against the authority of the Pekin government, and endeavored to open commercial relations, through its in ah, with Great Britain. It is known that many of the provinces and dependencies of China are merely tributary, and not a few so independent as to do little more than acknowledge a sovereignty amounting to mere matter of form. The Northern provinces have long been in revolt and Yunnan, which is largely populated by Mohammedans, entirely renounced allegiance to the imperial authorities. The Insurrection. Tho insurrection in the Northern and Western provinces of China assumed serious proportions in 18(10.

The causes that led to it aro not clearly understood, save that discontent with central authority at Pekin was general and out spoken. Many 'Mussulmans have hern attracted to that part of the empire, but no good feeling has existed between them and the natives. It would appear, however, that they succeeded in gaining a large portion of the common people to join tho revolt, and obtained manv Important advantages over the imperialist forces. In 1SI7 the government troops had to sustain a severe struggle against tho rebels. On several occasions they suffered severe defeats, and even Pekin was threatened.

Several other large cities and the treaty ports Cheefoo and Hankow, were in danger of falling into the hands of tho rebels, though none wero actually captured. The Chierorthe Rebels neelared Himself Emperor. He claimed to be one of the descendants of the Ilango, who were Mohammedans, and gathered under his banner all the elements opposed to the existing order of things. It is the custom in China to despatch viceroys or lieutenants to the provinces, who are instructed to collect the revenue and administer the laws. They are not unusually accompanied with any great military force.

The people of Yunnan refused to rccognite the viceroy aent to them, and being powerless to maintain hii authority nan to re turn to penn. A poriou anarcny ionowen, and tho adjoining provinces being already in revolt, they united in a common cause of hostility to the government. The rebels in 18tk) consisted of three different factions which had united. The Taloiners. from Ilo nan the Ncufl from Shantung, and the Mohammedans, from different other provinces.

They were able to make remarkablo headway. The attempts to suppress the insurrection wero badly planned, and the imperial troops fought with little or no spirit or couraire. In January, 1868, they were again beaten at Shantung, and in the mouth of Mar following tho rebels captured ana Dumea several villages near Taku and gained a groat victory, capturing 10,000 of the enemy. Twenty Thousand Rebels Put to the swora in iwev. In the enrlv Bart of 18S9 the Northern pro vinces wero almost entirely under the control of the rebels.

At one time they were on tho marcn for the creat citv of Tien Tsin (memorable for the horrible massacre of French and Russian subjects the year following), after winnlug many victories, the Mohammedans lornica a largo part of tho advancing armv, but the Tien tain authorities enrolled the militia and put the ram parts in a state of defence, and having the aid of some lintisn tnips ot war, no attacK was maae. This assistance was given to protect British interests. But in June fortune favored the im perialist arms. A great victory was gained and rebels nut to the sword, this nau a ais heartenine effect ou the insurrection, and in July, the imperialists wero onco more sue cessfull in a sanguinary battle. Military operations were now suspended, but tho central authority was not cstalishod in Yunnan.

The Rebel Army. The rebel armv is described as beiiiff admira bly organized. It is divided into fifty largo banners, each banner numbering fifty men, but under tho command of each large banner is fifty small standards, with fifty men each, so that tho wnoioarmy amounts to men. A information is communicated to the common sol dier. They do not know where they are to march and where they aro expected to find tho enemy.

Each soldier has to look to his banuer when that is put down he has to stop when it is lowered he has to retire, and when lifted up advance. Tho rebels are well armed and supplied with provisions, which are supplied to prisoners in the same quantities as tney receive themselves. Differing totally from their imperialist foes, they treat their captives with humanity, and do not compel them to forced labor or subject them to any indignity. There arc a considerable, number of European officers in the rebel forces, who act chiefly as oflicers of artillery. The Advance ou Talifoo.

The final effort of the Chinese government to suppress the Mohammedan insurrection was set on loot about ono year ago. A largo army was organited and marched tor laliloo. iho Mia outte. having been utterly disoomfitted the Gen. Chung kai lan, in command of six battalions was ordered to go and assist in tho siege of the district city of Sin chen, occupied by the relel Mohammedans.

Tho march which lasted ten days, was through a beautifully varied, but devastated country. General lloo, with the en tiro right wing of the army, was engaged in besieging the plaee; but his troops hau suflercd very much lrom tho tiro from a I.lue of Twelve Towers, which the Mohammedans had erected within two hundred yards of the stockades, behind which, according to the usual mode of Chinese warfare, he was carrying forward the otieratious of the siege. The city, which was small, was strong enough for protracted defence in the davs of bows ana arrows and even of inferior artillery but it is commanded on all sides hy a range of hills not more than ono thousand yards distant, and consequently quite within tho range of modern practice. In a short time about thirty yards of the city wall, which was bnllt of rough stono, fell down, forming a Breach for a Htorinlug Party. but so intense is their dread of tho Mohamme dans that neither the Chinese commander or soldiers could be got to make up such a party.

Ths ffenerals ennscouentlv decided to mskn a simultaneous attack on all tho towers, so that the varions attacking parties might keep each other in countenance. All the Mohammedans, to the number of seven or eight thousand, found in Hhin yec foe Were Massacred iu Cold Blood by the Y'unnan troops three or four days after they had surrendered, a cruelty which was expected would find its fit retribution in the murderous desperation with which the defenders of 8in chen will sell their lives. On the 8th of nlv, 1872, abont one hour before davliirht, the imperial troops carried into effect their eomhi ned movement by attacking all the enemy's towers simultaneously but the attack was con ducted with so little skill by the commanders, and with so much fear and cowardice by the troojis, that the result was almost no loss or danger to the rebels, while the imperialists lost 200 killed and in prisoners and some four hundred wounded. Some of the troops got fixed in such awkward positions that they had to stand on the defensive all day, and only succeeded la Mealing a Retreat After Dark. Tho Mahommcdans.

on tho other hand show ed tho greatest courage and dexterity in the use of their weapons, which consisted of guns and spears. Sometimes a party of a dozen or so would attack a whole battalion of imperial troops, first firing their Yukau forks." as their spears are called, on account of their three prongs. The generals thus finding close quarters too hot for them, decided ontrusting for the future to the safe long ranges of their artillery. Sin ehcn subsequently had to surrender, and tho same cruel massacre of prisoners took nlaee as at Shin yec foo and Talifoo. With tho fall of the latter place It will only remain a question of time before the capital has to surrender, and order will then be restored in Y'unnan, no doubt a particularly gratifying event at the commencement of the young Emperor's reign.

Complaint has frequently been made at tho Mayor's office in regard to the bad condition of a lot on the corner of Orange and Muhlenberg streets, belonging to the city, and a lot on Ninth street between Spruce andMuhlcnbcrg belonging to tho School Board. The proper authorities in both eases hare been notified, but thus far no action has been taken. Both Iota aro the receptacles of all the dirt, rubbish, and filth in their respective neighborhoods, including dead animals, and as the lots arc in low situations stagnant water has collected there, producing a stench, obnoxious alike to the olfactories of the citizens residing in those neighborhood, as it is injurious to their health.

Steps have been taken to secure the immediate attention of tho proper authorities to the localities complained of. At the comer of Pine and Minor streets there is a vacant lot, unenclosed, having a front of seventy feet on Tino street, on which ashes, garbage, and refuse matter from the yards and kitchens of tho residents in that vicinity is dumped. The matter has become a nuisance, and complaint in regard to the condition of this lot has also been made at the Mayor's office. Near tho junction of Eighth and Ninth streets, and ou North Ninth street beyond of water have collected in hollows, owing to tho defective drainage iu that section of the eity, the water in which has become stagnant, and productive of disease. There aro numerous other localities in the city of a similar character, and the condition of many of our streets and alloys is indescribably filthy.

It is time that we should havo a Health Commissioner to look after the sanitary interests of the city, and sec that all the evils, concerning which so much complaint is made, aro rectified.
