THE wUHU RIOTS.
The North China Daily News in its
account of May 10th of the Wuhu riots,
SAYS it has been reported for several
days that mob of Chinese had deter
mined to loot and burn the property OF
the Jesuits at Wuhu, owing to rumor
that a number of Chinese children had
been killed and their eyes taken out to
make medicine for the Jesuit fathers.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, May 18th,
mob of Chinese gathered about the
premises of the fathers and broke
through the walls, eventually setting
fire to the cathedral and other buildings,
after driving the missionaries
out and pillaging the place.
The mob then proceeded to the English
consulate and destroyed considerable
property by throwing stones. The arri-
val of the Taotai and the GOODNESS OF the
British consul alone saved the buildings
from being set on fire. The consul and
wife escaped the mob by dressing in
Chinese costume and hurrying to the
customs house, where they embarked
with other foreign residents on the
China Navigation company's receiving
ship. A number of foreigners, headed
by the consul, armed themselves and
passed the night at the customs house,
and assisted by the Taotai repelled the
mob who twice during the night made
an attempt to loot and set on fre the
customs house and the residences OF the
foreign officials. Next morning an i'm
mense crowd again set fire to the GUS
toms house and surrounding buildings,
but the customs staff, fully armed,
charged the natives and again put out
the fires In the afternoon three Chi
nese gunboats which were escortiDg Shen
Ping Cheng, governor OF Anhul, up
the river arrived on the scene, and
learning of the riot, began to fire blank
cartridges, which had the effect OF
frightening the mob.
Some two hundred soldiers arrived
from TAPPING Tu, and these lent addi-
tional protection to the foreign residents.
The mob did not make any demonstra-
tions against the Methodist Episcopal
American mission, but, advised by the
British consul, the missionaries from
that point also embarked on the Teh-
sing. which brought them, together
with the ladies and children of Wuhu,
to Shanghai. At Chianking, the priests
who escaped from Wuhu in boat were
picked up.
The News says there was only one
British man-of-war on the North China
station at the time of the riot, and this
one, the gunboat Linnet, was near Woo
sung. but was sent for and proceeded to
Wuhu.
MISSIONS ATTACKED AT NANKING.
On the 16th of May, four days after
the Wuhu riots, the natives of Marking
made an attack on the Catholic mission
there. Rumors had reached Marking
that the authorities at Wuhu had for
warded dispatch certifying that the
alleged deeds of the missionaries were
true. The priests succeeded In keeping
the mob off, and one OF the assallants
was arrested and punished. The Cath
olic mission was not the only one at

descent on the inland mission near the
north gate, but the Chinese authorities

mandates of the magistrate, he would
not hesitate to take strong measures.

lection for the missionaries. Placards,
