SHANGHAI, Oct. 27.-The anti-foreign
movement continues in the Human pro-
vince. Among the rebel chiefs are many
of the Viceroy's magistrates and
generals.
The Government seems or is unable
to prevent the spread of the uprising
and its propaganda against foreigners.
The fol lowing is the substance of an i'm
portant document which has been dis
played on the walls everywhere:
1--WE, the inhabitants who are DESTROYS
of preventing the violation of our coun-
try, let us prepare a plan of defences, so
that every district may take up arms
and assemble its forces. Every great
district should furnish 20, 600 men, every
lesser district 15, 900, every smaller dis
trict 10, 900.
"Let us chase from the provinces the
devil mouthed European pigs. Having
the power, money and men, and being
brave, let us destroy the enemy.
'It will be much better to burn the
dwellings, churches and mission build
ings than to confiscate them for the pur-
pose of increasing the revenues. We
will extinguish fires dangerous to Chi
nese dwellings.
'Let US stamp out the cutie of Jesus,
the heavenly pig. Let us punish the
| converted CnlueSo, Jig GTALIOES LOU US
| punish the families of the guilty on the
ships of the American feet. German y
comes flying to our aid"
The Province of Human, where, &C
| cording to the above dispatch, foreign
ers are in imminent danger, is one of
| the most, if not the most tur bulent and
aggressive in China. Thence come the
best fighting men of the Chinese army;
| indeed, the Hunanese form the back bone

ince, 80, 900 square miles in area, with a
population of 20, 900, 900. 1t is wealthy
province, and the people in general are
strong and we'll made, and have a de-
| cidedly comfortable appearance. A
large number of the high officials of the
empire are drawn from that province.
The riots at Ichang are attributed tc
the Hunanese and, in the opinion of Mr..
Gardner, the British Consul, the dan
| gerous element in the mob at Wasuch,
at whose hands the two Englishmen,
Messrs. Green and Argent, met Their
deaths, were Human men. This is nc
new phase of the provincial character;
the Huanese have invariably offered an
uncompromising opposition to foreigners
and all their works.
1t is the only province in which the
members of the China Inland Mission
have been unable to establish themselves
and it is the only province in which no
foreign invention of any kind has found
Ambulance. 1t is the only province
also, in which opium is not produced.
Out of nineteen provinces Human was
the only one which would not permit the
introduction of the telegraph. WheE
the telegraphists arrived mob of 10, 00(
drove them back, and hence the tele
graph line stops on the other side of the
Yang tse- KianR. A. Chinese official re-
Gently said that Hunanese was more
powerful than the central government.
Da. Griffith John, a well-known mis-
sionary, says that the incendiary pla C
ards are always issued by the gentry ani
scholars with the full cognizance of thu
magistrates and simply fathered on tn
people. Strong demands have been m ad
on the central government that Human
shall be made safe to the foreign trav
eler, and that the issue from it of infa
