Americans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE state de-
partment has received a report from Mr.
John Fowler, United States consul at
Che Foo, showing the steps taken by him
to secure vessel to go to the rescue Of
the missionaries and their families, who
were escaping from the interior Of China
The consul says that through the ex-
IRENE kindness of the Japanese consul,
Mr.. r. Tayni, he succeeded in obtaining
Japanese steamer, the Kwankee Maru,
which made four trips along the coast
and brought back the persons named in
an appended list. The consul encloses a
report made by Rev. George Cornwelf,
who went in charge of the ship on it's
trip to Yang Kioakou, an inlet on the
coast of Northern Shan Tung over 200
miles due west of Che Foo to rescue the
endangered Americans and other foreign
missionaries. DR.. Cornwell says that
with much difficulty he got many of the
missionaries to come down to Yang
Kioakou. On the way to Che Foo from
the interior with missionaries he had
gathered, the japanese ship Heian was
met at Tai Ping Wang and an
effort was made to get her to
pick up some of the missions
aries who might come down later to
the coast. The captain and his officers
wer6 very pleasant and ready to do
everything they could, but the compre-
fused to wait for the people at Yang
Kioakou to take them aboard If they
came out while he was unloading and
even to take on board any one to NEE.
them, though he was offered $500 q day.
and the captain urged him to accept. DR..
CornWell. says: 1--WE put before him the
Serious nature of his refusal, as it was
positively. matter of life and Death, but
it was of no use. Then we threatened
him with dismissal from Kaiping Co, and
summary treatment from American and
Jap consuls If he persisted in refusal.
He practically ordered US to leave the
ship and we did so, leaving him in a
crowd of evil-looking Chinese passengers.
The captain said he could not act cor
trary to the compredore's orders ord1-
narily, but he declared that If any refu-
gees came out to him at Yang Kiaokou
he would take them aboard and protect
them with no regard to what the COM
predore would say"
