THE CHINESE SIDE.
Riots Caused ny Motives Of Robbery on
the Part of Randtfs

Chicago. Aug. 2s-Sam Moy. n proml-
nent Chinese merchant Of this city. has
received a copy of Chinese newspaper
published At Foochow which gives four
columns OF space 10 the attacks upon the
English and American missionaries I'm
June. The paper Is interesting because IL
contains tho Chinese VeS3on OF the affair.
a free translation OF the principal points
az the Chinese review OF the riots shows
the attack on the mission houses arose.
firstly. from motives OF mere robbery
caused by the building 90 houses with
Easements. and secondly. by the revelation
Of the corrunt practices OF some OF the
hangers-on OF the mission stations.
According 10 this paner the missionaries
had built houses with Easements. some
thing unusual in China. and the peculiar
ity excited the curiosity OF the people.
There Is large camp OF bandits near
kuehcng. composed Of tho wild tribes and
fugittves from iustice from the civilized
parts of Fokicn. The bandits heard OF
the pcculiarities OF the missionary houses

MURDERED BY STRIKERS"
The A. n. u. Object to Inscription on
Soldiers, Graves.

San Francisco. Aug. 25.-The A. r. L. is
having a controversy with Gen. Graham,
commandan. at the Preside. and interest
ing developments are likely TO ensue. Dur
ing the great strike at Sacramento last
summer United States troops in command
of Gen. Graham were ordered TO the scene
to preserve order. The first train that
was run out OF Sacramento under military
guard was wrecked and four soldiers were
killed. A number of the A. r. l.. leaders
were tried for the murder. but were &C
quilted. The dead soldiers were buried
on the Preside reservation and their COM
rades erected a monument on which stands
the inscription. Murdered by strikers.
The A r. u. men object 10 this. contend
ing that the strikers did not murder the
soldiers and that Gen. Graham had no
right to put such an inscription on the
monument. No attention was paid to the
protest of the strikers by Gen. Graham,
and at a recent mass meeting resolutions
were adopted requesting him to remove
the inscription. Gen. Graham has replied
10 the resolutions in rather tart terms He
refers TO the action of the citizens who
adopted them as reasonable: says he was
at Sacramento when the soldiers were
killed: that in his judgment they were
killed by strikers. and that the inscription
shall stand. The members of the A. r. l..
say they will appeal to the secretary of
war.

Mexico City. Aug. 25.-The entire day
yesterday vas devoted 20 the trial Of the
yerastegtii- Romero duel case. The pub
lie prosecutor made a great speech. which
was Immediately circulated in printed
form all over .h~ city. He denounced

punishment OF everybody concerned. and
declared his conviction that Romero and
his seconds laid q deliberate trap for Fer-

should be punished for having furnished
pistois. The wnolo thing was n premedi-
tated murder. tersstegufs grave was
practically dug before he went TO the
Spanish cernetsry TO exchange shots with
Romero. The civil prosecuting attorney
followed ln a speech strongly denouncing
Romero, causing an uprosr In the court.

The public prosecutor asked for q pen

then sentenced Romero 20 three years and
four months at hard labor in the munich
pal prison. with !iIrty TO choose the trade
he preferred and he was also sentenced to
pay fine of 81 500 or serve 100 days adj
dtional. Furthermore, he was admon-
ished that II he ever committed n similar
offense the severest penalties of the Grim
inal code would he applied 10 him. The
Judge then sentenced him to pay to the
family OF Nerastegui for eighteen years
the sum OF 500 yearly. and also To pay
the cost of Nerastegui's funeral and all
costs In the case. The severity of the
sentence was considered almost extreme.
but public opinion justifies 1t. DIR. Pre-
ciado was absolved by the jury. Judge
DE Ia Hoz then gave notice that the YER
dict absolving all prisoners except @. Ro-
nero was, in his opinion. contrary TO the
law and the evidence. and he therefore
would send the case to the upper court
for Its decision. which. II unfavorable TO

fences for all OF these. The sentence of
Romero establishes precedent that men
killing antagonists In duels Will have TO
maintain the family of their victims or
remain In prison perpetuaiiy.
