However, the conclusion was reached
that Gen. Ohaffee's dispatch also was
sent from Pekin about August 20 or 30.
Ii Is stated that no order has been sent
to Gen. Chaffee to leave Pekin as the re-
suit of any recent developments. In fact
it would seem that the war department Is
not able TO instruct him more specifically

SHANGHAI, September 4.-The AS
ISOLATED Press representative learns
from Official sources the facts of the
killing of several American women
missionaries. At the request OF the
mission board the details were with
held out OF regard for the feelings of
relatives of the murdered women; but
other prominent Americans who have
long antagoniZed the policy of sending
women to isolated inland posts think 1t
important that the facts should be
known. The names of the victims are
withheld by request. Two of these wo-
men were captured while attempting
TO leave the stations where they were
located, were lead about the country
naked, repeatedly outraged and finally
killed by method too revolving to be
described.
Two other American women were
coming to the coast with party, which
a number of Cinnamon follow
ed and stoned. The woman fell ex-
hausted and were taken by the China
men into the presence OF the local Of
ficials. They were Frustrated upon the
execution block and a feint was made
of beheading them. One of them be-
came hysterical and laughed, and.
thinking her insane, the Chinese es-
corted her to the coast because of their
superstition regarding the insane. On
the journey, however, the woman was
Repeatedly CriminaIIy Assaulted
by her escort. The other woman, after
being exhibited naked for some days
and suffering assault by several men,
was tortured to death by the same
shameful methods as were practiced
in the other cases. Two Swedish mis-
sionary women arrived at Shanghai
after similar experiences except that
their lives were spared. The foregoing
are matters of official record.
The fourteen English missionaries,
including six women and four children,
who were murdered at Gnu Ghau, in
the province of Che Kang, according to
the story OF a Spanish piest who es
capped, were killed with hay forks and
ancient spears by the magistrates body
guard, and the naked bodies were
hanged from trees.
The incidents make lenient policy
unpopular in Shanghai, where all the
victims had friends.

Tic places exhorting foreigners to OPP

SOMETHING ABOUT THE STORY

THE ORDEAL or FIRE is
story of battle with q strong love
interest running through it.
Ernest Vaughn is engaged to Ger
trude Lydeard, and he is anxious
for the wedding to take place at
once. The girl is in no hurry for
marriage. Thereupon Vaughan sus-
poets that she has formed an at
tachment with young Greek
named Theodore. who is about to
leave London to fight in the Turco-
Greek war. He is greatly distress
ed with his suspicious, and ulti-
mately he breaks off the engage
ment. He is haart-broken and he
determines to so abroad. He vol
unteers for service in the Greek
army, and on the way out he meets
his supposed rival, young Thee
dore.
FROM this point the story becomes
very complicated. Vaughan and
Theodore have some thrilling adj
ventures. The most thrilling cpl
sodes of the war are graphically de-
scribed by the writer. and he works
up his story TO a most exciting
climax.
"IHE ORDEAL OF FIRE will
be read with special interest at this
tine when wars and rumOrs Of wars
occupy so large share of putlic at
