Dispatches from Foo Chow, China.
say: A mob has looted the American
Zion chapel at Inghok, so miles from

there is danger OF great riots in other
places. The Chinese soldiers sent to
protect foreign property plundered the
Stewart residence and the general sit

Hong Kong: The British and Ameri-
can missions at Fat Shan, near Canton,
were attacked by n large mob and the
hospitals were demolished. The mis-
sionarics fled for Their lives. 1t is
rumored that other missions will bc
destroyed.
London: Archdeacon Wolfe cables
from Foo Chow saying that the Chinese
soldiers sent to protect the mission at
Ku Cheng broke into and plundered it.
He adds that no reliance can be placed
upon the Chinese authorities. 1t is
known that the authorities knew of
the intention of the so-called vegetar-
ians TO destroy the missions and kill
Christians, but they did nothing to
prevent the massacres, and did even
warn the Christians.

of the natives and native officials. If

Washington: A telegram received
at the navy department announces
that Commander Newell has sailed
with the L. S. cruiser Detroit from
Shanghai to Che-Foo. This latter port
is further from the scene of the riots
than Shanghai. and the navy officials
take this as indicating that the United

that reparation be made james Durel,

government will prove that Durel
aided the queen; that he furthered the

demands from Great Britain, and per-
