NEWSPAPER MAN AT PEKlN
Chicago News Gets u Despatch From Its
Correspondent

Correspondent.
Chicago, August IA cable despatch
to the Daily News from Che Foo, July
81, (via Shanghai, August y, says:
"Dr. Robert Coltmann, Jr., the staff
correspondent OF the Chicago Record in
Pekin, who had not been heard from
since June 10. sends the following de-
spatch:
"Pekin, July 2l-Baron Won KetteIer,
the German minister, was murdered by
Chinese troops and his secretary wound
ed, June 90 while on his way to the
Ysung Lii Yamen The foreign residents
are b8sieged in the British legation and
have been under q daily fire from artil-
lery and rifles
'Ehe cowardice of the Chinese fortu-
nately prevented them from making sue
cessful rushes. Our losses are 90 killed
and 20 wounded. The Chinese losses eX-
coed 1000.
''There has been no word from the out
side world. Food is plentiful, such as it
is-rice and horsehesh. YeEterday, un-
der a flag of truce a message was sent by
Yung Lu asking If Sir Claude MacDon-
aid, the British minister, would consent
to a truce. The minister replied he was
willing, provided the Chinese came no
closer. The shell firing then ceased and
everything is now quiet.
SWe hope, that, having defeated the
Chinese, relief Is nearing Us. We are
all exhausted with constant standing
on guard, lighting, building barbados
and digging trenches by night and day.
"All the legations except the British
are utterly wrecked by shot and shell.
The Austrian italian, Belgian and HOl-
land buildings are burned to the ground.
The British legation is also much shat
tered. The United States marines hold
a vital position on the city wall COM
manding the legations.
After a brilliant sortie on the night
of July 3, Capt. Myers succeeded in driv-
ing the Kansuh mounted troops. During
the fight, Capt. Myers was slightly
wounded. Secretary Squires Of the Unit
ed States legation deserves credit for his
services throughout the siege. His mill
tary experience and energy are invaIu-
able. Many flags and rifles were captured
by Capt. Myers. We fear that treachery
is possible when the defeated Chinese
troops enter the city; meanwhile we are
living in intense anxiety and hoping for
early relief -

told Of his experiences with Admiral Sey-
mour in his attempt to reach Pekin.
We did not take prisoners said he,
"as far as the capture of prisoners is con-
cerned. This was an impossibility as the
Chinese are not civilized for that kind
of warfare
When asked about German statement
that the Russians dispatched the wound
ed Chinese with the butts OF their rifles,
the lieutenant said it was not quite SO
bad as that, but added the allies had been
and probably would in the future, be
compelled to bayonet wounded Chinese
prisoners. In the beginning they sent
wounded prisoners to the hospital n
lien Tsln, but they soon found THAT as
long as man was able to do so, he
would try to stab the foreigners. The
allies soon gave orders, he said, to kill
every Chinaman who would stand.
Lieut.. Kron said the Chinese decapitate
and mutilate every foreigner who falls
into their hands.

1t is presumed that the British, Ameri-

forward movement, whether other ma
tiOnalities are or not.
An advance base will probably be es-
tablished 20 or 80 miles nearer Pekin and
supplies viii be assem- bled preparatory to
a direct stroke at the capital.
OF the go, 600 allies debarked at Pe-CheH
ports, English military observers consider
that 30, coo are available for an advance

The Chinese forces, according to the
vague gatherings Of the allies intelligence
officers up to July 81 were disposed in a
great arc 30 miles long and distant 10 or
10 miles. The number and exact location
Of the several divisions are utterly I'M
known.
The Pei-Ho river is blockaded by sunk
en- stone laden junks for 90 miles beyond
Iien Tsin, and further up, according to
Chinese spies of the allies, a dam has
been constructed for the purpose of flood
ing the low lying expanse OF country.

Truth Always the Best Policy.

We wonder what the people of Chlor
ide think about st. Charles classiiica-
tion of f, Il. 10y as goldbug, Mr..
Logs interests are wholly in silver and
lead, and ne would probably receive far
greater benefit from the rehabilitation
of silver than any other man in Mohave
county, therefore it would be a far
fetched proposition to designate him
as goldbug Mr.. ST. Charles makes
plea to Mr.. 10y in one column of his
paper to keep off the citizens ticket
and in an aside to the voters says:
"Boys, you wouldn't elect these two
gold bugs to the legislature, would
your" >ean's scarecrow Of goldbngi,m
will benefit him little in this campaign.
The people know who are goldbugs and
who are NOT. One of the men that
Kean st. Charles is doing the mott
hustling for is the one and only gold
bug in the county. A month ago he
was telling the people of Mohave county
that Mark A. Smith was the Mark
Hanna of Arizona; that he was South
ern Pacific hireling; that he was rank
goldbug and a boodler of the first
water; a man bought body and soul by
the corporation, and yet today he is
telling the voters of Mohave county to
vote for Mark Smith for delegate to
congress aud aid the cause of silver.
Can the people place faith in man
who will deliberately deceive them as
to the character of a public or private
Individual? Mark Smiths record in
congress Is known to thousands of the
voters of Arizona. 1t is record of
which any man may justly be proud,
aud yet our neighbor down the street
tried his level best to make the people
believe that Mark was in cahoots with
Mark Hanna aud the Southern Pacific
railroad 1t is this open admission
that all his statements regarding Mark
Smith were untre that has weakened
the faith of the people in what he may
say of any candidate in the field. Re
garding the statement that kingman
people were fearful that if Kean st.
Charles was elected to legislative
office he would attempt to move the
county seat to Chloride, there is moth
Mohave County miner., 1900-10-13

ing to it whatever. Kingman people
and kingman business interests are
favorable to Chloride. Is anybody
so blinded as to believe that Kingman
would be benefited by the collapse of
Chloride? A boom in Chloride mines
means a boom in the mines of the
county and consequent business
boom to hingman. A few men are
trying to stir up factional differences
between the two towns, but the people
are onto them and will soon show them
where they stand,

the case of the late citizens committee,
can take weeks to canvas the county

get the right men in Office they should
be kept there as long As possible. Our
county is yet in the chrysalid state
