SAN Francisco. Aug. 1.-THE steam
ship Ocesnic arrived this morning from
Hong Kong and Yokohama. AdvIces
from Hong Kong ups July 10 state that
the fire of discomfort is still smouldering
in North China. Occasional riots are re-
ported. The mission stations near Canton
are said to haye been attacked, but no
particulars are received. Two Wuseuh
rioters on trial voluntarily confessed to
numbering two foreigners during the
riots. They we're accordingly executed on
July 5, and their heads are hung up at
East Wuseuh as a warning TO other evil
doors. A correspondent at TIentsen
writes. on July %. that all was quiet there
and no trouble anticipated. Comparative
quietness seems to have been restored in
the Yantszc valley, and the gunboats have
lett for other stations. A correspondent
at Tseing kianr, under date of June 81,
writes:
The vicerDy wrote the officials here
that the residences OF foreigners would be
searched to see if they had any babies or
dead peoples bodies about" The Pres
byterian mission was searched by an Off
cial, while a mob OF excited natives waited
outside. The mob broke into the Catho-
lie mission, but was put out by the occu-
pants, Mr.. Tallfant holding the rioters at
bay with a revolver. The authorities fin
ally sent militia to the scene. who guarded
the town all night. On July 4 news came
BY telegraph from the southern part of
the province of serious riOting in this sec
ton. The Catholics have large property
interests, many fine churches and a large
orphanago. Several of these rave been
destroyed by the mob. At Fechue Flu the
rioters RACED the OuthOuses and sacked
the churches and preachers houses, but
did not burn the buildings. 1t is learned
that the Orphanage was not touched.
Soldiers have been ordered out to protect
the ROmapish property. The town is
now without a gunboat, and a feeling oil
uneasiness prevails.
A telegram from Ticnstcn states that
the French and British ministers in China
have opened negotiations with Tsungli
Yamen in regard to their indemnity on
account of the recent riots. The sum
claimed is 5000, 500 taels.
Advices from Yokohama give further
particulars of the sinking of the steamer
Tamaye Maru, and Che drowning of 26O
