SHANGHAI, Oct. 27--The anti-foreign
moyemen6 continues in the Human pro-
vince Among the rebel chiefs are many
Of the Yiceroy's magistrates and
generals
The Government seems or is unable
to prevent the spread OF the uprising
and its propaganda against foreigners.
The fol allowing IS the substance of an inn
portant document which has been dis
played on the walls everywhere:
I'VE, the inhabitants who are desirous
of preventing the violation OF our coun-
try, let us prepare plan of defences, so
that every district may take up arms
and assemble it's forces. Every great
district should furnish ~, 900 men, every
lesser district Is, 900, every smaller dis
trict 10, O00
"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.
at will be much better to burn the
dwellings, churches and mission build
ings than TO cOniscate 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 Chinese, the traitors. Let us
punish the families of the guilty on the
ships Of the American heet. German y
comes flying to our aid. "
The Province of Human, where, Rc-
cording to the above dispatch, foreign
ers are in imminent danger, is one of
/ the most, if not the most turbulent and
! aggressive in China. Thence come the
| best lighting men Of the Chinese army;
| indeed, the Hunauese form the backbone
| of the army. 1t is a self-contained prov
| ince, ~, 600 square miles in area, with a
! population of 20, 900, 900. 1t is a wealth
J province, and the people in general are
! strong and well 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 to
! 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,
AIessrs. Green and Argent met their
| deaths, were Human men. This is no
new phase Of the provincial character;
! the Huanese have invariably offered an
uncomp ,omisiug 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
admiutance. 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. When
the telegraphists arrived a mob of TO- 600
drove them back, and hence the tele-
graph line stops on the other side Of the
Yang tse-KianG. A Chinese official re-
Gently said that Hunanese was more
powerful than the central government.
| Da. Griffith John, a well-known mi s.
sionary, says that the incendiary plac-
ards are always issued by the gentry AMI
scholars with the full cognizauce Of the
magistrates and simply fathered on the
people, Strong demands have been m ade
on the central government that Human
shall be made safe to the foreign trav'
eler, and that the issue from it of infa
nous anti-Christian litera ture b'
stopped,
