in Sebago ahead of his ticket, but the

NAPLES. July liking Humbert re-
viewed the Chinese expedltionary corps
to-day, and afterward addressed the
officers and men. His majesty said:
II bring you my saluta and that Of
your country in wishing good fortune
to your arms. You go to distant re-
gion, where our flag has been outrag ged.
You go there not for the purpose OF con-
quest. but only forsthe defense Of the
sacred rights Of man and violated hui
manity. In your mission you will. have
for companions soldiers OF the most
powerful nations OF the world. Be good
comrades with them. Try to hold aloft
the prestige OF the italian army and the
honor OF the country. Depart, there
fore, full OF confidence. accompany
you in spirit. May God bless your
mission"
The king witnessed the departure of
the corps from the deck OF warship
at the entrance to the port. remaining
until all the transports had gone. The
departure began ut 7:25 p. M, and end
ed at S:l5 amid the enthusiasm OF the
officials and of a crowd OF spectators
estimated at 100000. A spectacle of the
vessels passing seaward. dressed In the
national colors. was most Imposing.

ACCOUNTS OF
THE MASSACRE

SpEARED LITTLE CHILDREN
And Carried Their Bodies Aloft-Li
Hung Chang Looked Upon as the
Originator Of the Plot.

q. i . D. . i
y LONDON, July 2o.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Express
says:
Intense Indignation is felt here al
the honors which the British In Hong
Kong have accorded to Ii Hung Chang
who is looked upon In Shanghai as the
originator OF the whole fendIsh anti
foreign plot. 5
"a Chinese merchant who has Just ar
rived from 2ekin, gives horrible details
OF the massacre. He says he saw Eu-
ropean women hauled into the street by
shriek!ng boxers. who stripped then,
and hacked them to pieces. Their dis
severed limbs were tossed to the crowd
and carried of with howls Of triumph.
Some were already dead, haYing been
shot by foreign civilians.
Carried Children's Bodies on Spears.
He says he saw Chinese soldiers car.
rylng the bodies OF white children aIoft
on their spears while their companions
shot at the bodies He gives other de-
tails too horrible to be particularized
here.
ut seems that the boxer leaders had
organized n plan including the Offering
Of rewards and rich loot for the annihi
latlon OF Europeans throughout China
and that Prince Tuan's generals have
been emphasizing the opportunity the
soldiers have OF selling the bodies OF
white women"

Claims of Heirs Of Former Governor
of Utah Against the United States
for the Delivery of Central Pacific

Claims or Heirs of Former Governor
of Utah Against the United States
for the Delivery of Central Pacific
Bonds. W
WASHINGTON. July 19.-The claim
Of the heirs of Charles Durkee. former
ly governor OF Utah, against the United
States for certain bonds of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, valued at
s64.6235l2, was dismissed to-day by
Judge Hagner. OF the District supreme
court, and the application for rule
against Secretary of the Treasury Gage
to compel delivery Of them 10 the
claimants was denied. Judge Hagner
said this decision was based on many
grounds. an important one OF which
was that Leonard Blaidell, complainant,
as attorney In fact, for the attorneys at
law In the case, was not the proper per-
son to bring suit. ia
Great Property Carelessly Handled.
lie intlmated that the suit should
have been brought by the admlnistra-
tors. He said 1t was strange that such
a great property should have bean so
carelessly handled that all trace OF 1t
should have been lost. He held that
the act OF creating the Pacific railroad
sinking fund made 1t discretionary with
the secretary of the treasury what
claims should be acted upon and first
settled and that discretionary act
cannot be controlled by mandamus.
Judge Hagncr. In fixing the hearing
of the case for to-day. had declined to
Issue a rule against Secretary Gage to
show cause why he should not deliver
the bonds TO the claimants.
Now In the Treasury Vaults.
The petition as read to the court to-
day, says the disputed bonds wer, ac-
quired by Charles Durkee. who disd In
1870. that the bonds were then selling
very low; and that they are now in the
treasury vaults, or at least were seen
there by one Of the Durkee heirs IN
1854 The government In Its defence,
set out that the petition did not allege
who were the heirs at law and their re-
spectivp interests. nor did 1t allege that
the matter was n purely ministerial
function. The government contended
that the secretary's power In the pre-
misses Is purely a discretionary one.

Close Twelve Orphan Asylnms.
1t Is understood that Secretary Root
coincided with General Woods. views
after the situation had been fully ex-
planned. and no further draft will be
made on the Cuban force at present.
General Wood had quite n long talk
with the newspapermen after he left
the secretary's Office. He was full OF
statistics as to Cuban prosperity and
said the year would show cash ball
ance OF s2.5OO,ooo. in spite OF spending
100000 u month for schools. There
have been 3,1O0 new schools established,
$500 teachers enlisted In the work and
summer school for teachers started
in addition to the large party of teach
ers now at Harvard
The island, says General Wood, Is
more than self-supportlng, the tobac-
co crop Is next to the largest on rec
ord and sugar is Improving. Muni-
cipal courts and jury trials have been
In operation but a few weeks. II,
No Further Draft on Cuban Forces,
One OF the hopeful signs Is that the
military authorities have been able to
close twelve Of the orphan asylums In
Havana and Pinar del Rio province In
the past few weeks, the children hav-
Ing all been taken care OF by relatives
who were able and glad to provide for
them under the new regime of quiet
and prosperity.
Regarding annexation, General Wood
had nothing to say. except that It was
q question entirely of the future, to
be determined by the mutual interests
OF Cuba and the United States.
Late. 1t was stated at the war de-
partment that the determination had
been reached in spite of General
Woods expressed Views on the subject
OF Cuban troops. to Withdraw another
regiment from the island of Cuba and
for service In China, IL need be. This
Will make four regiments withdrawn
from Cuban service. and will reduce
the force in the island to about 1000
men.
