LONDON, Aug. 4.-The Telegraph to-
morrow will print dispatch from Shang-
hal stating that the massacre st Ku Cheng
occurred on July 31st. The officials sup
pressed the news three days.
The names OF the killed are: Miss Elsie
Marshall. Miss Annie Good win, Miss
Bessie Newcombe and Miss Flora Stew
art, all of the English Zenana Mission;
Miss Nellie Saunders, Miss Topsy Saund-
ers, Rev. DR.. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart
Of the Church Missionary Society. Five
of MIR. and Mrs. Stewards children were
killed, and two survive. One had a knee
broken, and the other, q baby, lost an
eye.
The following were saved: Miss Hart
ford of The American Mission, Miss Cod
dington OF The English Zonana Mission,
and Rev. Il. ). Phillips of the English
Church Missionary Society.
United States Consul EiXson, who is
stationed at Foo Chow, with party OF
volunteers. upon receipt of the news OF
she massacre, started on steam launch
for the scene, and has returned, bringing
with him the wounded Americans.
The experiences of the survivors were
terrible. Vhey say that death was the
least part OF the suffering for the butch =
cred women.
The indignation here Is intense Never
theless, the many warshipS IN the har Dor
are idle. a mass meeting has been ar
ranged for tomorrow to protest against
the lack of energy on the part of the au-
thoriiies, and to urge that reparation 90
made. and that the guilty persons be pun
ished.
The Mandarins endeavored to blame
certain secret societies for the outrage.
Europeans, however, regard this as nom
sense.
The officials are renewing their old
tactics OF stopping kilograms. The re-
ports OF the outrage are rather mixed. Ii
IS now known that ten persons were
killed, including Miss Lena Stewart and
Dr. Stewards whole family, except two.
The American missionaries, Miss Hart
ford and Or. Gregory, escaped, but the
former was teartully injured. Several
English and American children were
killed.
The Standard tomorrow will demand
that the murderers be visited with con-
dign punishment, and that stern example
be made of the officials who virtually
connived at the commission of the crime.
The paper will say: IF the Emperor
cannot or will not protect British resi-
dents. we must give him assistance of a
kind he will not Welcome"
The Chronicle will say it trusts that
Great Britain and the United States Will
com bine to teach the Chinese lesson
that will cause foreigners to be res pected
forever; but, in view of the conditions
existing in the country, the bodies send
ing missionaries there, especially women,
IL cur the gravest responsibility. The
whole question: the Chronicle says, ought
to be recousiQered,
The Times will say: "The outrages
must, OF course, form the subject Of strong
representation to China from England,
and probably from the United States also.
1t must not be passed over as trliie.
Immunity Of the murderers would cause
standing menace TO the lives and prop
erty Of the whole European community
in China "
