were under FIRE, Tut still conteneed
that his government was acting in good

ed out the fact that the absence of ar

We're no regular troops engaged in the

Two dispatches were received during
the day. one from Admiral Rcmey aud
the other from Gen. Chaffee Both relat-
ed to the fighting at Peitsang Admiral
Remey's dispatch stated specifically
that the Americans were not engaged,
and Gen. Chaffee's dispatch explains
how It was that they practically were
out Of Il. They occupied the rear of

limited ground of operations which he

TIE MASSACRE ON THE hMUR.
& Second Account Of tie Butchery Of Thcus
ands Of Chinese.
CDy the Associated Prcss.)

tDy inc ASSOcidtGc 1iCS5.j
New York, Sept. 2f.-Concerning the
massacre OF five thousand Chinese at
BIagoyestchensk by Russians, the Even
ing Post contains an account from G.
Frederick Wright, one Of the faculty OF
Oberlin (Ohio) College. who was erroneous
ly reported killed at Pckin. The letter IS
written from S~tretensk, Siberia. under
date Of August eth.
As soon as the Russian troops went
down the river or transports Gully 1fth)
the fort at Aygun began, without warn
ing, to fire upon passing steamboats,, and
on the 18TH fire was opened up0n Blago-
vcstchenSk and some Russian villages
were burned opposite the fort. The actual
injury inflicted by tho Chinese Was slight,
but the terror caused by it was indc5crIb-
able. and il drove the COssacks into q
frenzy Of rage. The pCaccable Chinese, to
the numbcr of 5000 CT 1000, in the city,
were expelled in great hste, and, being
forced upon RATS entirely inadequate,
were most of them drowned in attempting
10 cross the river. The stream was fairly
black with their bodies. Three days after,
hundreds OF ccrrses were counted in the
water.
Mr.. Wright SAYS:
IN cur ridc through the country to
Icacn lue CITY on 1flutS.dy, tHt LIN, -
saw as many as thirty villages and ham
lets Of the Chinese in flames. One o. them
was q city OF 5000 or 10000 inhabitants.
We estimated that we saw the dwellings
OF 20, eco peaceable Chinese in flames that
awful day, While parties Of Cossacks were
securing the fields to find Chinese and
shooting them down at sight. What be-
came of the women and children no one
| knew: there was apparently no wa for
them to escape to a place OF safety. On
| our way up the river for 500 miles above
the city. every Chinese hamiet was a
charred mass Of ruins. Thc large village
of M0tcha was still smoking, and we were
told that 1000 Chinese had been killed.
The Wholesale destruction. both OF prop
crty and life. was thought to be a mill
tary necessity. Peace between the Rus
| slams and the Chinese has come to an end.
| Years canno wipe out the enmity en-
. sendered.'
