Tho Murdered Missionary Tells of the
Critical Situation in April.
LONDON, Aug. THE last letter,
dated April s, from the murdered Eng.
lish missionary, the Rev. Mr.. Stuart,
has been received in London, and de-
scribes the critical situation OF affairs
at Ku Cheng. Mr.. Stuart wrote:
"Ten days ago we were awakened at
4 O clock i'll the morning by a native
clergyman, who crossed the river in
order to bring US the startling news
that the vegetarian rebels were ex-
pected at daylight to storm Ku Cheng.
The gateways of the city were being
blocked with timber and stone in order
to prevent their entry. We had 100
men, women and children in our COM
piund outside the town. We passed
terrible time until davbreak,
when torrents of rain fell, and
the vegetarians not liking the
rain, postponed the attack. All the
mission party started to get inside of
Flu Cheng The male and female stats
in the early morning were crossing the
river in small parties in a tin boat.
They reached Kueseng wall, which had
to be scaled with ladders. During the
three following days bodies of citizens
guarded the walls, armed with sings
and rusty swords. On the fourth day
the gates were opened and the manda-
rim in command conferred with the
vegetarian leaders. What occurred dur
ing shis interview we do not know,
but nobody believes we have seen the
end of this matter. Such a serious af-
fair cannot be SO easily patched up, and
is probably only begun
Mr. Stewards letter concludes:
''And the women and children, with
the advice of the American and British
consuls, will be sent to the coast. The
opinion prevails that as soon as the
Japan China treaty is arranged, sol
diers will be sent from Flu Chow to ar
rest the leaders of the rebels. But if
it is not arranged, then the vegetarians
will increase sufficiently to make the
rising a success"

KANSAS CITY, Aug. w. T. Laird,
aged 43 years, who is the leader of a
gang Of counterfeiters that has been
turning out spurious dollars for the
past three months and shipping them
to other cities, has been arrested by
United States Marshal j. G. Shelby.
Moulds, dies and other paraphernalia
were captured. Three other members
of the gang had been previously taken
in, and Laird's arrest breaks up one of
the most dangerous gangs in the
