Atrocities Confirmed.

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-An the cores
pondents in China are sending terrible
stories Of the wholesale massacre of
missionaries and native Christians. 1t
is asserted that during July between
fifteen and twenty thousand converts
were massacred in the northern prov
inces.
Large numbers Of missionaries are
stin unaccounted for and small hope
Is entertained OF their escape. Native
reports are subjected to the most care
full scrutiny with the result that. al
though there may be some exaggera-
tion. it is impossible to doubt that in
the main they are correct.
The horror is intensified by conhrma-
ton OF the reports that women We're
subjected to unspeakable barbarities
and tortures. being stripped and slow
ly dubbed to death. This was one
Of the mildest methods. The Boxers
wreaked a fiendish vengeance upon
them. The powers are calling for swift
punishment. Fears are expressed lest
the Russian government. which does
not encourage the missionary propa-
ganda. should prove lukewarIn in this
matter.
Statements were current in the
European capitals last evening
that all the powers had replied to the
Russian proposition; that Great Britain
and Germany had declined to evacu-
ate Pekin. that Austria and Italy had
decided to be guided by Germany's de-
cision and that the other powers had
agreed to more or less modified with
drawal.

As an additional reason why Ger
many cannot withdraw from Pekin. 1t
is pointed out that 5000 native Chris

doned they would inevitably be massa-
cred.

placed from home. The present mea-

WASHINGTON. Sept. 12.-The ques-.
ton of Withdrawing the American

fore the president and speedy decision
is expected and required. There are
differences among the officials in Pekin
on this subject and the issue is for
the president to decide.
The action of the French government.
as reported by cable dispatches. in
joining Russia in orders for with
drawal of the troops. has brought
about the contingency touched upon in
the reply to Russia in the following
language:
''The result of these considerations
is that unless there is such general ex-
preston by the powers in favor Of con-
tinued occupation as to modify the
views expressed by the government Of
Russia and lead to a general agree
ment for continued occupation, we
shall give Instructions to the comman-
der of the American forces in China
10 withdraw our troops from Pekin
after due conference with the other
commanders as to the time and man
ner Of withdrawal"
General Chaffee was made acquainted
with the attitude Of the government
and was directed to hold himself in
readiness to withdraw his troops. I'm
doubtedly he has conferred with the
other commanders as to the time and
manner of withdrawal. according to the
terms Of the note.
The sending Of further supplies to
him has been stopped and he now
awaits but a signal from Washing
ton to begin his movement. 1t is for
the president to give that signal.
