TOXIC, JAPAN, May 31.-Tne famine in
Kwangsi province has become so severe
that rice is selling for $40 or $12 picul or
about to 8 cents a pound. At such a
price only wealthy persons can afford to
use this staple article of diet. 1t is stated
that, in view of the impossibility of sup
po rting life in the poorer families, permis-
sion has been given to sell children, and
that girls from to IA years OF age are
offered in the open market for from So
to $50.
At Hongkong the danger OF an increase
of the bubonic plague being imminent,
and very general dissatisfaction having
been expressed with the action of the sanI-
tary committee which consists chiefly of
officials, British subjects were invited to
vote whether the committee should con-
sist entirely of civilians or principally of
officials. Only 1862 persons took the trou-
Bile to vote, but 300 of them were in favor
of civilians only.
The British Consul at Canton has taken
steps to form an estimate of the ravages of
the plague in that city. BY counting the
cotfins as they passed out of the gates of
tn city he concluded that about 240 peo-
pie are dying daily. The population of
Canton is something like million and a
half.
The Kiangyin anti-missonary outrage
has evoked vigorous official action, but al
though the plot has been unraveled and
the guilty persons arrested another cruel
feature has been added to the affair. 1t
will be remembered that an accusation of
numbering children having been preferred
against the missionaries by a quack doc
tor, who entertained grudge against
them in connection with the lease OF their
premises, search OF the house and yard
made in the presence of the mob revealed
the body of a 15-months-old child. The
missionaries barely escaped with their
lives.

ATTACKED BY CUBANS,

Captul ei

HAVANA, CUBA, June 20.-The Spanish
gunboats Satellite and Ardilla, while MAX
ing cruise OF inspection along the coast
near Vertientes, close by the terminus of
the Jucaro- Moron trocha, were attacked by
rebels from the shore. With the assistance
of the garrison OF the fort the enemy was
repulsed after sharp fight. The rebels
lost seventeen dead and many wounded.
Commander BauZa of the Ardilla was also
wounded, but not seriously.
General Bernal, operating near Fran.
cisco in the Pinar del Rio province, re-
ports that he has dislodged a party OF
rebels from their position in the hills in
that vicinity, capturing their camp and
destroying 100 huts. In the engagement
preceding the taking of the camp eighteen
of the insurgents were killed and two of
the Spanish force were wounded.
General Gasco reports that a band of
rebels mum bering 800 attacked a force of
sixty gu errillas on the road from Man
zaniIlo 10 Bayamo, and long and fierce
fight ensued. The guerrillas were re-en-
forced by 200 troops, and the enemy was
defeated and driven toward Peralejo. Six
of the rebels were killed. The Spanish
losses were lieutenant and corporal
killed, and captain and fifteen privates
wounded.
The Commerce. squadron, which was
organized last year by merchants. has
been disbanded because of lack of funds
severe penalties being inflicted upon per-
sons connected with it.
Consul General Lee was busy the whole
day yesterday preparing a report which,
it is believed, was sent to Washington
to-day.
The convoy captured by the rebels on
the Cauto River consisted of 900 rifles and
135, 600 cartridges, besides great quantity
of provisions destined for Bayamo.
1t is rumored that Manzanillo mas been
attacked, but details are lackinr
1t is said big fight occurred yesterday
near Cabbias, in Pinar del Rio province,
between the forces of Maceo and the Span
ism under General Gonzalez Munoz. The
losses are reported to be heavy on the
Spanish side, but details are unknown yet

before the United States Consul-General,
who imm ediately communicated with
Shanghai, and also with Peking, the re-
suit being that Lieutenant Mclean of the
United States steamship Boston was Or
dered to proceed to Chinkiang to COM
plete report, and the Boston was got
ready to proceed up the river. Meanwhile
Chinese family, who were friendly to the
missionaries, had applied themselves to
discover the truth. They succeeded in OBJ
tanning a confession from the Quack doc
tors chief accomplice while the latter was
und er the influence of opium. 1t appears
that the accom- plice had been informed by
the doctor that the missionaries would
give him $40 for the body of a child. and
the two, proceeding at midnight to a
grave, carried off corpse and hid it under
some rubbish in the missionaries COM
pound, whence the doctor nnearthed 1t
subsequently in the face of the district Of
hcials and of an infuriated mob.
On the night of the riot the mother of
the children, going to burn incense at the
grave, saw that the body had been re-
moved. The friends of the missionaries
induced her to prefer complaint, and
unfortunately, the quack doctor knew the
family that had been instrumental in ex-
posing the truth. To be avenged on them
he declared, when making his confession,
that the eldest son had been an accom-
plice. The man was arrested. At first he
maintained his innocence, but being sub
jected to torture Ills fortitude gave way
and he falsely implicated himself What
ever redress may ultimately be obtained,
the cost of befriendipg the missionaries
will thus seem very high to the people Of
Kiangyin.
Reports from Hankow show that the
crop Of China tea would have been excep-
tionally fine this year had not the pro-
ducing districts been visited by heavy
rains at the time of drying and firing the
leaf.
1t is related Of Cantonese girl that,
hearing of the terrible famine in the
neighboring province, she sold all her
jewels and ornaments and adding the pro-
ceeds to her own savings and to money
obtained at her solicitations from rich
relatives, succeeded in making up sum
OF $1,000 toward the relief fund.

Consul General Lee Sends an Important
Message to Washington.
NEW YORK, n. Y, June 20.-A spe-
cial to the Herald from Havana, via Key
West, says:
Consul-General Lee forwarded to Presi-
dent Cleveland at noon to-day dispatches
of the utmost importance. The dispatches
contain the full reports of the Consul-Gen-
eral upon the Cuban situation and are of
an extremely sensational character.
In the dispatches there are two quite dis
tinct documents, the one wholly contiden-
tial and for the personal information of
President Cleveland; the other a clear,
frank exposition of the situation in the
island at the present time.
With the grea test candor the representa-
tives of the United States in Havana de-
scribes the exissing condition of affairs in
Cuba, both from political and CONNER
cial point of view.
Notwithstanding Consul Lees extreme
reticence l am justified in drawing the
conclusion that his document is of tre-
mendous Importance to the United States
and to Spain.
So strong is it in fact that it's contents
may, it is hinted, be made the basis of
armed intervention in Cuban affairs on the
part of the administration at Washington.
The report, intended as information
particularly designed for the Department
of State and which will be presented to
Secretary Olney, is, l am informed. COM
plete and impartial review of the field.
Consul-General Lee takes the ground
that the only possible solution of the
dreadful problem existing in the island is
autonomy on Canadian lines.
While the Spanish flag flies in the island
of Cuba, Consul General Lee says no
other remedy can be found to stay the
rebellion or end the bloodshed and
devastation which are at present
making a Golgotha of one of the fairest
portions of the earth's surface Even this
remedy, the Consul General informs Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Olney, at
this late day, may be Intellectual.

that the whole OF Mashonaland is in in

shipped at Cape Town to go by way of

everywhere have been murdered by the
