London. July 23.-(Copyrigh.. 1870. by W

horrors in China and the many desperate
scenes of the Boer war. the little campaign

country on the west coast of Africa. might
pass unnoticed. but nothing in modern his

IL has been successful in every sense of

He left kumassi on July IL and. besides
his relief force. brought back the Kumassi
garrison. about twenty fairly fit men and
seventy inyalids. besides some women and
children in pitiful condition
The Ashantis rose in rebellion and be-
sieged Kumassi. where the British Gov
ernor. Sir Frederick Hodgson, was be-
leaguered for many weeks Finally Sir
Frederick. with most Of the Europeans. cut

its many black residents.
Colonel Willcocks, with a relief force. ai-
vsnced through the jungle and encountered
innumerable obstacles inclu,iing flooded

An official dispatch received from Will

rors within Kumassi which even the for

awful. After describing his fight with the
Ashantis. Colonel Willcocks says:
Il entered Kumassi at o'clock In the

nothing but burned-dowu houses ard putrid
bodies could he seen. The garrison was de-
lighted beyond words TO see U.S. Most of

their last defense.
Il brought away from KUmassi the old
garrison. most Of them In hammocks; also
a great many refugees. Before our depart

unknown numbers of the enemy one half ra-

The above dispatch from Shanghai again
raises the presumption in my mind that
some such step has heen taken. OF course,
at the present time we can only ihdiiSe III

E.or many wears the Chinese have been
contemplating removing the court from

been to place the capital in the most In
accessible city Signanfu fills this bill.
II is situated on the so-calied Iiuco Polo
road known TO the Chinese as the Great
North Route. and by sedin chair travel is
distant thirty-six days iro III Pckin. II was
I. capital of China in ancient times.
The fact that the yellow kiNer Is ntV!-

armies attempt to reach that city. Il would
h., n most hazardous feat, one scarcely pos

Dowager has sought Signanfu for refuge
she has done wisely.
Tie city is strongly fortified. Like all
great Chinese cities. IL is massiveiy walled
Its population is greater than that Of
Pekin. and as the inhabitants are all
Mluchus, and many or them M0hamme-
dams. the anti-foreign Spirit is unanimous.
Very few foreigners have ever been there
1t was my privilege to visit the city in
1885 when on my way as chairman Of the
United States Commission to investigate
the anti-foreigu riots in the Province OF
Szechuen in the spring of that year l
found a city much cleaner than Pekin.
with wide, weIi-paved streets, and shops
which attract the eyes by the richness and
diversity Of their wares. Christianity has
made no progress there. but just outside
of the city walls is the famous HISTORIAN
tablet which proves that the Christian re-
lieion was brought TO Signanfu years ago.
