HOPE IS REVIVED
That Some Missionaries Supposed TO Be Dead
May Be Safe.

New York Aug. 22-The first cable
grams which have come to the mission
boards H. this city from Pekn. since com
municatiun was cut. over two months
ago. arrived, today. one Of them was re
Ceived by the Presbyterian Board Of For
cign Missions. II came fro mthe Rev. Dr..
Wherry Of Pekin, and was dated from
che Foo. where il is supposed to have
been sent via Tion Tsin. It was as fol
lows:
Winery. some converts marveiously
saved Property mission private totally
destroyed. Were friends"
Robert +. Speer, one Of the secretaries
Of the board commented on this as fol-
lows:
for wire, Winery for 'Wherry.' and in
CulCals' for 'inCulclte' and the board s
cable address. There is much doubt as to
the meaning of the message. The most
hopeful Interpretation is that it refers to
Pao Ting FIJI and that some converts
may he mistake for 'Simcoxes' Per-
hapS the omission of the mention of Dr..
and Mrs HOdgen. about whose location
there has been some doubt may imply
that they We're in Pekin ana that DR..
Wherry supposed this was known in New
York. or it is possible that il might refer
70 Ptkln and bc in reply to the cable sent
from New York. Aug. Is. asking for the
names Of Pao Ting Flu missionaries in
Pekin and whether they are safe.
''br. WhertN. assuming that the board
would know what missionaries of the reg
ular force in Pekin were there. would
need to be informed only Of the presence
Of DR. Maud Mackey and of Mr.. and Mrs.
SimcOX. At any rate it is clear that all
the regular missionaries Of the Presby
terrain church at Pekin and DIR. Mackey
are safe and that the property either in
Pelln or Pao Ting Flu is destroyed"
Rev. Or. A. b. Leonard Of the Metho-
dist Missionary Society. also received a
cablegram from Pekin. II was as follows:
"Pekin relieved All members mission

This was signed by Rev. George Davis
ana Rev. F. u. Gamewell. There were
