Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 10.-The Glen
ogle, from Hongkong and way ports,
brings late papers from China and ia
pan. The North China News says:
Yu-man-tze is reported to be on the
raid again, and to have captured two
French missionaries. If he is to receive
button and 100000 taels every time
he is on the rampage, destroying places
and Staying foreigners, his followers
will increase, his courage grow greater
and a general insecurity in inland cities
will prevail.
1t is reported from the west that af-
ter raiding at Kueifu, while several
hundreds of children, under the care
of the Roman Catholics, were on their
way down the river, they were seized
and drowned. We have received no
confirmation of this, and trust it may
only be a rumor.
i There is great deal of anti-Chris-
tan trouble, and even Ichang has been
threatened. At Chan Yang and Lii
chuan, not many days distance from
Ichang, the Roman Catholic chapels
have been burned down. The houses
of the native church members have
also been attacked and destroyed. The
foreign priests and a thousand or so of
natives have arrived in Ichang At
Changlo a native has been killed. There
is great excitement among the people
A guard of soldiers has been stationed
near the Roman Catholic premises.
The perpetrators of these evils carry
'Yu-man-tze's flag, but it is doubted
whether they are really his followers.
The motto on the flag is, Mich Yang
Hsing Using" destroy the foreigner
and advance the Using dynasty).

Statements made by Chinese from
Formosa to Annoy, which appear in the
Universal Gazette, show that the is
land is far from being in a peaceful
condition. On or about the 10th ult.
body of 5000 to 5000 Chinese had an
engagement with battalion of be-
tween 1000 and 1000 Japanese troops.
in which the Japanese lost nearly half
their men. Not being successful with
the rebellious Chinese. the Japanese
harassed the peaceful ones. and made
things especially unpleasant for them.
The rebellion is attributed to the harsh
rule of the Japanese, aggravated by
exorbitant taxation on all classes,
which is double that levied formerly.
