IN DANGER AT TIBuTSIN
H. G. Hoover Condemns the Attack
on the Taku Forts.
Hostilitics Precipitntcd by the Ac-
Praise for Admiral kempn - Gem
ernl Mn's Sarcnsm-Ordcred Boxers
10 Prove Their InvuInernbility.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-H. C. Hoover and
his wife were among the passengers who
arrived today on the Umbria. Mr.. Hoover
left Tientsin On August ii. after two years
of hard work there as the chief engineer
of the Chinese Engineering and Mining
Company and the Oriental Syndicate.
Mr.. Hoover was obliged to fight for his
life and his wife when Tientsin was bonn
barded by the Boxers and the Chinese i'm
perial troops. Mr. Hoover said that the at
tack upon the foreigners was bound to come
some time, but the naval men responsible
for the taking of the Taku forts at such a
time must have been insane. Admiral
Kempff. of the United States, who was OPP
posed to such a thing, was the only sane
man in the allied fleet, Mr.. Hoover de-
clared.
During the fighting and before relief
arrived and raised the siege" Mr.. Hoover
said, 1.-The Boxers started to pillage the
native city and the Chinese merchants
appealed to General Mich for protection.
Nien drove the Boxers out and killed g.
600 of them. Mich was denounced by the
DoAeIS dt tlcli request utSiaueu W
the imperial Government During the
fighting on July 8 he exposed himself until
he was shot and killed That was his
way Of committing suicide. His second
in command did the same thing. Mich
vas succeeded by General Ma, who had
oeen friendly to the foreigners before the
attack on the forts.
General Ma called a meeting of the
Boxer leaders on July r. and made them
a speech. in which there was much sar-
casm. Ma told the Boxers that they
claimed to be invulnerable and to possess
divine gifts. If that is So he said to
them, go tomorrow and conquer the for
eigners. If you fail l will settle with you
when you come back
THE attack of the Boxers failed and
that night. when the Boxers returned to
met them with his Maxims and killed
5000 of them.
From July IA, the day of the fall of
Tientsin. the wrangling among the allies
began. and it was awful. The result was
anarchy, and looting was the order of the
day The American soldiers were the only
ones who were decent The French and
the Russian soldiers did nothing but kill
Chinese women and girls. or what
amounted to the same thing-they out
ragged them, and there is nothing left for
an outraged Chinese woman but suicide"
Mr. Hoover said that unless this coun
try could soon agree with the other pow
ers in the peace negotiations there would
be another uprising all over China.

THE DENVER PRESS BLAMED.
Minister. Fix the Responsibility for
the Burning of Porter.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 1S.-The indigna-
tion of the people of Denver over the
burning of the negro Porter was express
ed today in the most emphatic manner
The disgrace to the State was the theme
in every pulpit. Regret and denuncia-
tion were expressed by all, and almost
without exception the speakers placed up
on the press the responsibility for exc.t-
ing the people to frenzy.
From the time the murder was COM
mitted the papers were filled with the
details Of the crime treated in the most
sensational manner. There was little talk
of lynching even at Iimon until the pa
pers had manufactured the sentiment
Today the resentment of the greater part
of the community against the prt SIS found
part expression in the pulpits and at a
great mass meeting held this afternoon
in the First Baptist Church Fully 1000
people were packed in the building and
many could not gain admission
Among those on the platform were Gov
Charles S. Thomas, Mayor Henry
" Johnson Joel +. Vale, President w.

large number of Denver's clergymen. C.

friends started applause as a counter dem
onstration. Those who applauded pre-
dominated but many apparently blamed
the Governor for not preventing the
lynching. Among other things the Gov
ernor said:
II do not censure the negro's execution
but the manner of it. do not mean that
uphold lynch law. No law-abiding citi
zen can well say that he does"
The Governor explained that every legal
process was taken by him to prevent the
delivery of the prisoner to the Lincoln
County sheriff. Speaking of the offenders.
he said:
1T is impossible to indict whole
county as much as 1t is impossible to in
dict a nation They would have to indict
themselves, and If they were convicted
they would have to be taken to the peni
Tertiary by the chief of offenders. the

The reference to Sheriff Freeman was
greeted with hearty applause.

mains of Mrs. Mary E. Van Lieu. aged
thirty-nine years, and her two-year- old
son, George. were found today in the
ruins of her home on the Force Farm
three miles west of this city. Every
thing points TO the suspicion that the
mother and child were murdered and that
the house was set OH fire tc conceal the
crime. The victims are colored
The head of the family was in this city
when the house was fired. He is a farm
hand. and makes a few dollars extra Sat

on the pump handle and on some Led

reason, had been taken into the yard
A big negro, Robert Hensen, who Just
thirteen years ago today was arrested and
acquitted for the murder of his mistress.
Ella Quinn. white woman, on Tucker
Street. in the heart of this city, was ar
rested tonight for the crime.
Hensen has been living in the house as
a boarder. and il is said that the woman
had ordered him out because he had been
drinking heavily. He made his boast Sat
urday evening that he was going TO get
even with some one.
Blood marks were also found on stone
near the door of the house 1t is sup
posed that the two quarreled and that
fight took place on the outside. The wo-
man was then chased to the cellar. where
she was killed with an axe. The floor
giving way permitted the cook stove 10
fall on her. The baby was in room up
stairs. and this accounts for the finding
of the chil1s skull on the top of the ruins
Hensen was caught near Washington's
crossing about five miles from the scene
of the crime. He was in a house " tn
some friends. He was brought to this
city by detectives. He refused to make

PLATT INSTEAD OF HANNA.
Aigcr Interrupts General Grccnc's
Laudation of the OhiOan

NEW YORK, Nov 1S-An interesting
episode at the recent dinner at the Union
League Club to Mark A. Hanna has just

Senator Hanna. Turning TO Mir. Hanna,
General Greene said:
To you. sir. / owe my army appoint
ment. my selection as a brigadieT general.
and my assignment 10 the Philippines"
Hold o.l, there!" interrupted Russell a.
Alger. one of the guests, rising from his
chair. Where was General Greene dur
ing all that time: Was l not Secretary of
WARP
Certainly you were. sir suavely re-
piled General Greene. but you merely made
the appointments recommended by my
friend, Senator Hanna
Alger was still on his feet. He was net
tied.
Let me say to you. General Greene
rasped back Alger. that every appoint
ment you received during the Spanish war
was recommended by my dear old friend
who sits on my right, Senator Platt, and
that without his endorsement you would
not have been anywhere. for the reason
that you. as a New York Republican, were
compelled TO receive his endorsement be-
fore either the President or his Secretary
of War would act"
