Our only security Ilea In the punishment, not only of the ac tual murderern, but of the officials ilso who have connived at the out- 1 leaks and are In icallty more lesjion- Mlile." Acting Secretary Adee has received from United States Qnnsu I-General Jtinlgin at Slmntrhnl a despatch dat- * il July 12, enuloslriRr four letters re- ^'ivfd by him fiom missionaries glv- n< in gteat deuill aefounts of events . i China leading up to tho riots against lie mKsionriries at Cheng Tu, in tho 'ivlnce of Syenhnen One of these, mi Spencer Lenlr, very comprehen- v In scope, d.ited Chung King, nina, says that the West China mls- ii of the Methodist Episcopal iLireh Is the only American Mission iit-scntid at Chrng Tu Tho Ameii- m.H there were the Hov.

This mission '.' rwd but one piece of property in ('Ivng Tu on which was a Chinese i nil ilng fitted for the lealdenco of two f. milles, a Chinese building used as a chapel, a dispensary and minor tiuctuiDS. Mr Lenlr says that sub stantially all these aro gone, oven the Iavlng stones being carried out of the fourts. The total loss, exclusive of rersonal losses, Is about 6000 taels, Mr Lenlr describes the various at tacks made on the premises of tho Canadian Methodist Mission. The two physicians In charge of the hospital and chapel, which were afterwards looted and burned, kept the mob at bay, but the officials would give no asnlstance, although several of them were quite near. Late that evening, May 28, the mem bers of the American Methodist Mls- blon sought refuge in the district mag istrate's yomen, but were refused and told they would be protected if they returned home. Relying upon thlw promise they were entirely unprepar ed for the mob, which soon visited them, and had barely time to escape. Operations were renewed by the mob nt daybreak ntxo day.and before noon the attack wan general on 11 the Cath olic and Protestant mission places. The American Methodists, from their hiding places In an attic only six foot v.-ay, watched tho mob for twelve hours plundering their houses. Some of the 10,000 uoldlera of tho provlnco anslstod In the looting and dug up a number of bones which they took to tho dlotrlot magistrate's ya- men, representing them to he tho bones of babies which the foreigners had eaten. Lenlr makes serious charges ngalnst tho Viceroy, Chep Tactl,clalm- Ine that as ho had been degraded and was soon to be recalled, he was bent en giving a parting hit, both at the foreigners, whom he hated, and tho fj^vornment. When the tlamefl burst forth from the Roman Catholic Bish- ep*H residence, ucarcely a stone's throw uom the Viceroy's yamen, tho Vice- ny remarked, according to Mr. Lenlr, rliut this was a matter for his suc cessor to atond to/* and ho states that only -af-tor everything wan quh tly do- stroyed did tho Viceroy main . nmu to restore order, In tie* men Mini linv lug sent out telegmniH that a run |. lated child had been imini i, a i ,t- elgni>r*B place, with a resu't thnt near ly nil tin- niitlvcs belli-Vfd U,< loi v Mr. Lenlr demands the [,nn , m nt if boHtllo olfletiLhl, H" "Mi lo' i f,ip|i t of the Itithimmat'Ji v pla- nln i'ul uei postud everywhcio, chaiglng thnt the foreigners were kidnapping ehlldien ami uslnsr oil from their b"il|ea, KiktDIi lltltll l^ltt.s sll'l^Ml-.M A Oilncu* ^HHtiMxIu Ai(nrl(*il I3r With u HlK'nr, lliil it V,ii)iil >-t'fMii(i Kit*t*<l Hrr.

They were the yells of servants, who rushed In shouting to mo to get up, lor tho Vegetarians were coming,tear ing down the houses on tho hill be - longing to Jfho Mnglhih Mission. "A'fewSninutcH hiter a teacher came to my door and told me to iuu. "I put on my clothes and i milled to the door. "I was met by a man with a trident spear, who yelled : " 'Hoie Is a foreign woman.' "lie pointed the spear at my chest, X twisted it to one Hide and It Jinit grazed my ear and head. "He threw mo to the ground and beat me with the wooden end of the upoar. "A servant came and wrenched the spear awny, then told me to run. "I jumped down the embankment and lan along the road. A servant came nnd pulled mo along until I got up on the Hide of the hill. I then lay down to got more breath. "After resting twice I reached a se cluded spot and lay thero. "All this tlmo the yells went on and two houses' were burning to tho ground. "After a while the yells stbpped. I supposed tho Vegetarians had gone away, A servant went to see how mat ters were. He returned In half an hour, telling mo to come home, that five ladles of the English Mission had been killed and some had been wound ed, but that my house a rented na tive house had not been troubled at all. "I went home to find Mhis Codrlng- ton much cut about the head and beaten all over; Mildred Stewart, 12 years old, with knee cut and bleeding very hard; Herbert Stewart, 6 years old, cut on the head and almost dead; TIahy Stewart, with one eyo black and f-wollen; tho second Stewart girl, 11 years old, with the second boy, Kvan, 3 yearn old, were beaten and pierced with a spear, but not seriously Injur ed. The boy vomited all day, but we thought It was from fright "Mr. Phillips of the English Mln- plon, who lived In a native house,some distance away, escaped all Injury,only arriving In time to see the bodley of the dead and hear the Vegetarians '.iy : "'We have killed all the foreign - "At first we heard that som^ for eigners had escaped nnd were Pi hid ing, but Mr. Stewart did not com^ and we feared the worst . "Mr. Phillips went to the rulna and round eight bodies; five not burned, tnd three burned so as not to be re cognizable, "Dr. Gregory arrived at dark and dressed tho wounds of tho patients. "Coffins were made and the bodies were put In them. The bones of the burned were put in boxes. "Another burned body was found, making nine grown people massacred R. J.

"The first fuur were burned beyond recognition. "Topsy ran out of the house and was hilled outside. "He.ssle was thrown down the em bankment with her head nearly scv- eied from her shoulders. "Annie Gordon's head also was nearly cut off. "The bodies were put In coffins and we left Hwasang for Suikow about -i o'clock Friday afternoon, Auc. 2. "Herbert died about thiee bourn later, just below Colong. We took the body In a chair and had a coffin made for it at Suikow. "We reached Suikow about 8 am., Saturday, and telegraphed to Foochow for a steam launch. We left Suikow In native boats at 3 p.m. and on Sun day morning we met a steam launch e-oing toward Suikow taking soldiers. We engaged It to tow us to Foochow. "Soon afterwards we met the res cuing party In a launch. "Tho party consisted of the United C-*tatos Marshal and two English mis sionaries bringing full supplies for the sufferers. "When 1 was thrown down my teacher's wife called on some Hwas ang men around to save me. There were four men there to only one Vege tarian, but they would not help me. She came and tried to pull me nwny, as he wns heating me. The Vogetar- ton kicked her. "When the Vegetarian who beat me btartocl down the hill to come to our house thiec others were with- him,but these ran off after some Chinamen, so I escaped with only one persecutor. "There wore about liO Vegetarians, but I only Bnw one, the man who at tacked -me, who shouted : "'Here Is a foreign \vomnn.' "He had a trident npo*a . Some had swords. "There was at least one gun, for I 'henid it fired off. The natives Pay thero were more. "Uong, the Kucheng magistrate, came to Hwasang Friday afternoon, Aug. 2, with 100 soldiers.
