CRUELTY OF THE BOXERS.
The Boxers decided to take their cap
tives 20 a village mile away and de-
wise the means Of transporting and tor
turing them az the same time. Mr..
Green's left hand was bound 10 his left
foot Mrs. Green and Miss Greig We're
tied hands TO feet, LETT hand TO left foot
and right hand 10 right foot, and the
little girl was treated In the same way
Spear handles were then thrust Under
their arm pits and they were carried TO
their destination. The little boy was
slung across the back Of a ban. In the
village of slnan they were thrown
down bound, in the filthy mud Of a
court yard and examined as TO their
Identity. Their story was laughed at
the examiners refusing to believe that
any foreign devils had been let go by
the Boxers and a deputation was sent
20 Pao Ting Flu 10 ascertain the truth
and determine the fate OF the captives.
In the meantime the party bound and
trussed like fowls. We're thrown into "a
temple. There they remained for two
days, their hands being unbound In or
der to permit them To eat the meagre
rations Of unground, uncooked millet,
and cold water. served 20 them. on the
third day, the deputation returned
from Pao Ting Flu and the captivea

~ ordered their death and had now re-
peated the sentence Prlvedentialy there
were two sets OF Boxers the civil and
military, the former supplying arma
and subsistence TO the movement and
devlsing operations which the latter
executed. The civil section had heard
Of the defeat Of the Boxers M Taku and
elsewhere and ordered the prisoners to
be kept alive to be used as hostages,
should the allies be sent TO destoy the
city Of Pao Ting Flu. but should no such
movement be made they would consent
TO the death Of the foreigners. To this
policy the little party owe their lives
After two days OF misery they were un,
bound and allowed daily walks In the
compound with swords az their necks

guard For three weeks they remained
In their deplorable captivity daily eX-
pecting death demanded every day by
the horde OF Boxers. who insisted that
the women should be turned over TO
them alive to be afterwards put to
death.

ICE STILL IN BGRING SEA
CAPE NOME CAN NOT BE
REACHED BEFORE June.
Trouble on Board a Ship that Left
San Francisco last March-Cap-
tain Deposed.

San Francisco, May 12.-There is
trouble among the thirty odd passen-
gers who left here March II on the ex-
missionary brig Pitcairn for Cape
Nome. From last ac.Atints the Pit
cairn was in Dutch HarBof with the
passengers in a state of mutiny. They
had deposed Captain Nesbitt and
placed the chief officer in charge Of the
vessel
Among those who went on the mis-
sionary brig were Ed Short, the well
known wharfinger. In a letter from
Dutch HarbOr he says that the Pit
cairn is not thoroughly provisfOned;
that there is no break in the ice in
Boring straits, and that the chances
are Il VIII be June before a sailing
vessel can make any kind of an ap-
proach to the gold fields.
The brig took forty-seven days to
make the run to Dutch Harber, and
that fact made all the passengers down
on the captain. A meeting was held
and his resignation demanded, after
which the chief officer was made cap
tain.
An exodus of vessels to Cape Nome
began today. The Aloha and Santa
Ana sailed tonight. The latter goes to
Seattle, where a full list of passengers
await her The Charles Nelson goes
out tomorrow. It also goes to Seattle
to take on passengers.
On Monday the Senator viii get
away and on Tuesday the Ranier,
Ohio, Luella and San Pedro will start.
