Hut the Missions at Cheng Tu Have Been
Destroyed by Mobs.
WASHINGTON, June 13-The Chinese lc.
CATION Is still without information rs to
the report of the depredations on Ameri-
can missions in China. 1t is considered
settled that no lives have been lost and
that any depredatiors which may have
occurred are confined to mission property.
1t is said that II reports are confirmed
that the officials countcnanccd the de-
struction they will be severely dealt with.
1t is customary to degrade viceroys even
when they are not responsible for riots in
their provinces, and the punishment. it
is said, doubtless will be more severe If
they have aided the outbreak as the re-
ports state.
Although nothing official has been re.
ceivcd telegram from New York states
that the office of the Methodist Mission
ary society in tha. city has received n ca
blegram from Shanghai to the effect that
the mission property ut Cheng Tu has
been destroyed by Chinese mob, but
the missionaries are all safe. A London
cable states that the destruction OF prop
erty in the disturbed cities amounts to
several million dollars.
