THREATENING PLACARDs.
London, July 27.-(Friday. 1.-The Canton
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph in
a dispatch dated Wednesday, says:
"There are daily arrests of Boxers and
smugglers caught loaded with arms and
ammunition. Executions quickly follow,
but the rowdy element remains practically
undismayed In the country districts the
people are moro threatening and bold than
in the city. Their inflammatory placards
are freeley posted, such as the following:
1--WE, the Chinese children of the Sages,
are faithful and filial, as well as modest.
How does it come to pass then that any
of US can so far forget himself as to be-
come the proselyte of a barbarian's re-
ligion Tens Of thousands of native con-
verts have been killed in North China,
and their houses and possessions destroy
ed Because of this all the countries of
the world have sent soldiers to the coun-
try to protect their converts. This they
have failed to do. The mission churches,
the foreign consuls and all the barbarian
troops have been slaughtered, just as you
kill chickens and dogs.
You converts have involved the bar
barians in this calamity. We look upon
you as rebels and soon your doom will
overtake you. Unhappy is your condition,
for all men hate and despise you. Great
is your distress. Your hands hang help
less by your sides. Despair has seized
your minds Death alone will relieve you.
By following the doctrines of these rene
gades and foreigners you have forfeited
your rights as men, We warn you at once
to fly tor safe hiding places while yet
there is opportunity
