ing it, shut himself up there. The town was then
besieged by the Governor of Kashgar, and the siege continued for fifty
days. Then Kuli Beg came up, and, forcing his entry into the town, took
possession of it, and destroyed the fort. But on the 10th of Zillhij
(16th of December) a strong Chinese force entered the country, and
rapidly reconquered the possessions of the late Yakoob Khan. Beg Kuli
Beg then fled with his men to Tashkent, which he reached by Mingyol Osh
and Marghilan, and put himself under the protection of the Russian
Governor there. Mulla Yunus Jan, the Governor of Yarkand, and his son
and brother fell into the hands of Hasan Jan Bai, Ikskal (? Aksakal).

The above is taken from the columns of an Indian journal, and is
inserted here for the purpose of showing that the converted Chinese, or
Yangy Mussulmans, did revolt from their allegiance to Yakoob Beg the
instant a Khitay force appeared in Altyshahr.
