The Outrn-es ON Missionaries in

China
WASHINGTON. Sept. 18.-Min lister DENLY
at Pekin, has reported to the Secretary of
State the two cases of recent outrages per-
petrated by Chinese upon the Americans,
Rev. A. A. Fulton and Miss Mary Fulton.
NJ. D., both American physicians. The
missions in China are established at a
mission hospital and station at Kwai Ping,
about 400 miles southwest from Canton.
When they had expended a considerable
sum in putting up the buildings placards
appeared on the walls declaring that the
:" foreign devils" must go in three days,
and their buildings would be destroyed.
The ~li.erati, as usual, were at the bottom
of the disturbance. A crowd gathered
near the hospital, and Fulton set out to
procure the protection Of the militia. He
was stoned on his way, and was not per-
mitted to return, and no soldiers were
sent to protect the mission. On May =
straw and faggots were piled against the
building occupied by Mrs. and Miss Full
ton and q little daughter of the former,
upon which the inmates fed and the house
was looted and burned. The ladies sought
refuge on boats, but the mob threatened
to destroy any boat that should receive
them, and after some delay they reached o
point where Fulton had been compelled to
remain. Two days later they were put
on boats and conveyed to Canton. The
value of the property destroyed is about
SIS, 500, and Consul Seymour is pressing
the demand for the payment of this sum
in damages.
