CHINESE HAVE A SIGNAL,
Chicago Cslestials Prepared TO Meet
Mob Violence.

CHICAGO, July sS-The mhabl-
tnnts of Chinatown in this city have
evidently adopted a signal In case they
should be attacked by mob, Last
night over 100 responded TO n call for
help from Moy Yen. proprietor OF res.
taurant. and nearly overpowered Ser
geant Mooney and two detectives OF
the Harrison Street Station before the
astonished policemen could announce
their identity and convince the ex-
cited Mongolians that they We're maxi
ing an arrest and not seeking to
avenge atrocities committed in China.
AS the three officers approached Yen's
place a cry OF alarm was raised From
every direction every doorway swarmed
with Cinnamon who. as they afterward
explained. were, answering the alarm
recently adopted TO rescue the Chinese
inhabitants from avengers OF diplo-
mats supposed to be slain. When the
first rush Of the Celestials was made
the policemen drew their revolvers and
held the crowd at bay. informing them
at the same time Of their mission. 1t
was soon understood they had been
tricked and an angry and dlsgusted
crowd of Cinnamon disappeared.

S. Macarthur, preaching In Calvary
Baptist church last night on the sub
ject, why DO the Heather Rage"
said:
The heather are raging, that Is GER
tain. China amaEes the world. Five
years ago Japan alone annihilated her
army and navy. Now she dehes all the
European nations. China has been
called the riddle OF the world; the Jest
Of all nations.
! Doubtless some missionaries are
largely responsible for the present up
rising in China. All the missionaries
who refrain from civil functions and
confine themselves simply TO preaching
the gospel are not responsible for these
uprisings. They follow the American
idea Of separation Of church and state.
They do not interfere between their
converts and the Chinese authorities.
Those missionaries who combine civ
ii authority with their religious in
struction are partly responsible for the
condition OF things In China. More
than three hundred years ago in Japan
the Roman Church prosecuted the Jap
anese who refused 10 accept their doc
trlne. AT this moment similar thingF
are at work in China. Bishops hz-~
told sales which ex,ite the jealousy Of
the Chinese.
Some missionaries actually sit as
/ justices in civil cases and impose fines
and other temporal penalties. They
soon surround themselves with all the
dignity Of kingly rulers, and the ma
tive heather do not distinguish be-
tween the ecclesiastical and civil rule.
The result is an anti-foreign feeling.
An anti-foreign spirit has been devel-
oped. and no one can help but see that
the first attack is made upon the mis-
sionaries who have assumed to exer-
else civil power.
II was in China five years ago this
month. and many Of the conditions l
examined on the spot. also have the
testimony Of missionaries on the
ground at this moment. They declare
the bishops secure the release Of their
converts when brought before the
courts. and that the authority OF the
French consul is often invoked to en-
phasize the demands OF the priests and
bishops.
The same thing is going on in the
philippines at the present time. These
things lead to uprisings. The war with
japan put an end for time to con-
templated uprising OF the Boxers. Only
missionaries who eonfine themselves
lsimply to their religious duties can do
any good. Those who do not only pro-
woke uprislngs on The part Of the jeal-
Gus Asiatic.
Nothing is clearer than it is the
duty Of the United States government
to protect the lives and property OF
its citizens. Great Britain has invoked
the admiration of the whole world be-
cause Of her army and navy, and is
ready to protect her citizens with
them"

BRAVE BUT NOT RECKLESS.
General Miles Praises American Off
GERS.

NEW YORK. July 23.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Colonel Liscdm's death while lead
ing tie Ninth United States infantry,
in the fight Of the allied forces at Tien
Tsin, has led many to ask If our Off
GERS are not needlessly reckless while
under fire. General Miles. answering
this question. said:
American officers are as brave as
any in the world. They rank as high
in valor as the officers Of any European
government. Neither in Cuba or in
Porto Rico did they needlessly expose
themselves. Colonel Liscum met his
death at the head of his regiment, and
here 1 might say that the records win
show that the percentage Of Colonels
killed in action is greater in proportion
to their number than those killed in
any other grade.
The colonel's place is with his regi-
ment, and when it advances he general
ly leads. 1t is his duty to discover the
position Of the enemy and to keep his
men in an advantageous position. Off
GERS are always mark for the enemy,
and the duties Of colonel naturally
expose him more or less. Unmounted
the colonel is at disadvantage, as he
cannot so readily view the enemy's po-
sition nor so quickly cover the ground
( Mounted. he is more easily a target for
the sharpshooters Of the opposing force.
! ''rhe colonel is generally to be found
with the colors in the center Of the reg
inent. the Lieutenant colonel command
ing the right wing and the major the
left. The regiment guides on the col
ors. II they are advanced the com.
mand moves forward. If they arc
moved back the alignment IS still kept
by q backward movement. Next to tht
colonel the most dangerous position #
that Of color-bearer. and I saw at thu
battle Of Antietam 12 men successively
killed as they came, one by one picket
up and carried on the colors."
The general was reminded of tn

criticism OF our officers at Santlago
by the German attaehe who watched
the operations OF the Americans, who
said they We're needlessly and wanton'
ly reckless.
The general said he did not agree
with him and was OF the opinion that
the German was greatly mistaken.
General Miles refused to discuss
whether or not the English officers were
reckless In their way in South
Africa, saying he was not In a position
to express an opinion on that matter.

MAJOR P. c. MARCH.


After two days hard climbing the
command reached point two miles
beyond the village of Lingai, where the
fight occurred. There was a snakelike
trail leading up the precipitous noun
tain side, and half way up the insur-
gents had constructed trenches from
which they could pour deadly fire
down on the troops advancing up the
lower reaches of the trail or in the
valley below. Cunninghams scouts,
with Davis company. were fired upon
first. Jenkinson's company went to
their support, and after exchanging a
few shots these troops waited on the
shelter Of hill. The enemy killed
their fire and Jenkinson ordered a
charge around bend in the trail.
Captain Cunningham and Lieutenant
McClelland led the charge. and as the
men rushed around the bend they
came into full view of the insurgents
200 yards above, who opened 6 well
directed fire from trenches and from
behind rocks and trees.
Half dozen of Jenkinson's men
fell, killed or wounded, within a few
feet Of each other, some hit in sew
eral places. Their comrades dragged
them behind shelter, and March,
with the remainder Of the battalion
coming up, the troops sought what
shelter they could, while March sent
70 sharpshooters to the top of the
knoll on the opposite side of the val
ley overlooking the trenches.
These men made the ascent of the
knoll under heavy fire, but when they
reached the top their well directed
shots soon had the effect of making
the insurgents careful not to expose
themselves. March then directed Tom
kins to execute a flank movement with
his company by climbing the side of
hill thousand feet high, on the in
surgents' left. Tomkins, with Lieu
tenant True and SO men, made the
ascent of the Mil by dragging them
selves up with the aid of bushes and
punches Of grass, and, reaching the
rocks above, found several insurgents
there, who fred on them, but were
soon put to flight. Tomkins then took
a position overlooking the entire rebel
force and took them completely by
surprise. The company on the hill
and the sharpshooters on the knoll
poured in murderous fire, and at the
same time March, with three COM
panies, charged up the hill, shooting
and yelling. The insurgents broke
from behind the rocks and trenches
and fled up the trail and into the thick
underbrush, and the fight was over.
Their forces were not large, prob
ably not over 200, but only 25 passed
in retreat over the trail through Auga-
gui to Ceventes. The remainder were
killed and wounded or escaped into the
bushes. General Pillars body was
found in the road, where his men had
been compelled to abandon 1t. The
bodies of six others, including a lieu
tenant, were found, but this was only
small proportion Of their loss, for
number were seen to fall from the
rocks and mountain side into an in
accessible abyss below, and bloody
trails lying in every direction showed
where the killed and wounded had
been carried into the brush. The
American loss was two killed and nine
wounded. Part Of the battle was
fought in the clouds, as a heavy mist
settled over the mountains, concealins
the trail,

respondent accompanied the force. He
writes as follows
The entire march Of March's bat
talon Of the Thirty-third infantry
from Candon to Cervantes has been
remarkable exploit. With four de-
pleted companies and Cunningham's
handful Of scouts, eke command left
YOung's headquarters at Candon on
the afternoon Of Nov 80, March hav-
ing received information on his jour-
ney up the coast which led to the be-
lief that Aguinaldo had left the coast
road at Candon for the mountains in
stead of going further north, as had
been supposed. This information was
confirmed by General Young, who re-
NAMED at Candon with one troop of
the Third cavalry, sent two other
troops to occupy Santiago and then Or
dered March's battalion into the noun
tains after Aguinaldo. The men had
only IA rounds Of ammunition, no ra-
tons, and had to live on the country.
The four companies were command
ed by Captains Jenkinsch and Davis
and Lieutenants Tomkins and White.
