BISHOP FAVIER's APPEAL.
Enclosure p
Bishop Favier to Mr. Pechon, French
ministry. (Translation.)
~ tApostolie Apo bic; Vicerste of Peking and North
lster: From day to day the situation be-
comes more serious and threatening In
the prefecture. of Paoting Flu more than
seventy Christians have been massaered:
near Echao Icheou only three days ago,
three neophites have been cut to pieces
Many villages have been pillaged and
burned, great many others have been
completely abandoned. More than 1000
Christians are fleeing, without shelter
AT Peking alone, about four hundred ref
ugees, men, women and children, are
already lodged at our house and that of
the sisters; before eight days we will
probably have many thousands
We will have to dismiss the schools and
the colleges; also use all the hospitals
pie.
Upon the east of US pillage and incendi-
ariSm are imminent; we are hourly re-
eeiYing the most alarming news. Picking
Is surrounded on all sides; that Boxers
are daily coming nearer the capital, de-
layed only by the destruction which they
are making of Christians. Believe me,
| pray you, Mr.. Minister. that l am well
informed. and say nothing lightly.
. BENT ON EXTERMINAFfoN
Religious persecution is. only. one object.
The real purpose is the determination of
set forth and written upon the banners
of the Boxers. Their associates await
them at Peking, where they will begin BY
attacking the churches and finish with
the legations. ss
For US here at t,Aa Paitong, the. day is
practically ended All the city knows it :;
everybody is speaking of It, and a pop
ular outbreak is manifest
Yesterday evening, forty poor women
and their children, flying from the massa-
ere, arrived at the house of the s hgGz RS.
More than 500 persons accompanied
them saying to them. that if they had
escaped this once they would soon be
with the others.
SUGGESTIVE OF. MASSACRE
Mr.. Minister, I do not speak of pla-
cards without number which are posted
in the city against Europeans in general.
Each day new ones appear more explicit
than the others. Those who, thirty
years ago. were present at the Tien
Tsin massacre, are struck with the
of today, the same placards the same
threats, the same warnings and the same
blindness.
Then also, as today, the missionaries
wrote and supplicated foreseeing the
horrible awakening.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Minis
ter, believe it my duty to ask you to
kindly send at least forty or fifty ma
rines to protect our persons and our
property. This has been done under cir
cumstances much less critical, and
hope you will take into consideration
our humble prayer
Please accept. Mr.. Minister, the assur-
anceS of the respect and the profound
gratitude with which 1 have the honor
to be, your excellency's very humble and
obedient servant. ALI Parvier,
Bishop, Apostolic Vicar at Peking.
S. Jarlin.
Bishop Coadjutor.
&C. Gulliux,
Vicar General.
