Lee Nun Went into a lengthy review Of
the whole Boxer trouble and gave many
reasons why the Chinese of this city are
opposed 20 their movement. He said that
the Boxers come from part Of the cOuu-
try so FAR away from the Province Of Can
ton that the Cantonese considered the
United States 10 be as near. He wanted 10

Il is said that on Sunday evening notices
were sent OUT by the Tong societies which

10 have consisted Of narrow strips Of red

only 10 crowds OF strangers. None Of the

any local movement Of sympathy with the
Chinese anti-foreign policy. II is impOssi-

reform party. They have a regular organ

was sent 10 China shortly after the society
was organized for the purpose Of helping
the reform movement

leading firms seem confident OF this. and
say they see no need as yet of further po-
lice protection
Two Sisters Of Charity who have been
working among the Chinese for some time
visited the quarter yesterday afternoon on

said to dislike Roman Catholics more than

Sisters were received everywhere with

Chinaman in the city said Xxi vi Bow Lo. -
and lodged into the dingy entrance of 92s
Race Street, where. according TO Tom Lee,
the cousins of He Bing Wah were holding
lodge Of sorrow, which would last
throughout the night. AS a matter Of fact,
He Bing Wah was buried yesterday after
noon, and he was too poor to warrant a
lodge of sorrow in his memory.
The meeting was called to consider the
wisdom of issuing a statement to the pub
lie, calling attention TO the fact that there
is not a single North-of- China man in
Philadelphia, and that the natives Of Can
ton who populate Chinatown, are not in
sympathy with the Boxers or their deeds
of violence. and that every last one OF
them would become a naturaliZed citizen

would allow

Chinatown, and are taking pains to avert

entrances Of every Chinese restaurant. and

toxicated individuals are promptly turned
over to the city police and every possible
p-ecaItiOn is being taken 10 avoid an out
break OF any character.
The meeting held az 92s Race Street last
night was attended by as many Cinnamon
as could get into the hall. and a great
crowd sat outside OF the building. along
the curbstones and in the street, waiting
for news from the meeting.
Lung Tai QuOng. a Cbinaman from
Washington. was present and made some
sort OF statement at the meeting that
created something Of sensation. A crowd
OF several hundred Cinnamon followed him
10 the street, and several accompanied
him out Race Street as he started for the
station.
He claimed TO be ignorant Of the Eng
lish language. and politely declined the
services OF an interpreter. II was stated by
Lee Fon Choy thar Lung Tai Quong is a
high officer OF one OF the societies. and that
he mad come here to advise with the officers
Of the Philadelphia lodge. He seemed TO
he deeply concerned in the safety OF the
Chinese colony here and was delighted to
learn that there had been no hostility
shown and no likelihood whatever that
there would be any.

said that he had personal assurances from

LONDON, Feb. ia special dispatch
from Madrid saying nat Premier Silvela
recently decla~su in the senate that pre-
vious to the war with the United States
the British government consented to let
Spain have $500 shells which were being
manufactured for her at the Maxim fac
tory at Placentia, meets with vigorous
denial in London. Albert Vickers, head
of the Vickers- Maxim firm, said:
"Senor Silvela lied. There is not a word
of truth in this allegation that England
helped Spain to fight the United States,
in the first place, the factory al Pia-
centia is branch of our concern, built
at the request of Spain, because that
country wanted ammunition of home
manufacture. 1t is under the Spanish
governments control and there never was
a shell manufactured there for sale in
England or in any country except Spain
where law against the export of am
munition exists"
Senior Shvela is further quoted as say
Ing that Spain, not having used the shells,
allowed them to be returned to the Brit
ish government, and that he did not
consider the latter step violation OF
neutrality. This transaction Mr.. Vick-
ers also denied. Inquiries made at the
foreign Office show that no papers exist
dealing with any such transaction. But
Lord Salisbury took the matter up per-
sonally, instituting inquiries in the va,
rious departments with the view of Isl
suing denial should it be proved that
Senior Silvela has been correctly quoted
These inquiries of the premier resulted
in an official statement being made to the
effect that the British government never
entered into any such transaction and

dertook it the concern did SO without
the knowledge Of the government.
