SCARED BY BOW WoNGs.
Chinese Consul at Honolulu Asks
Protection.

Honolulu, July 81 (via San Francisco,
Aug. D.-The news from China has
stirred the Chinese here to the depths
Yesterday Yang Wal Pin. the Chinese
consul, made an appeal TO the govern
ment for personal protection. saying
that he had received anonymous let
tiers threatening his life. He accuses
the Bow Wong Wui, or Chinese Reform
society, of having made the threats.
The Bow WOngS are the element OPP
posed TO the empress dowager and de-
sirOus of having a liberal prO-fOreign
policy in the empire. They formed
their societies here under the leader
ship of Leung Chi TsO, the exiled re-
former, and the consul here sent to
| China the names of those who became
members. As result, the relatives
of the Honolulu Bow Wongs were cast
into prison in China, and the feeling
against the consul runs high.
One of the letters that frightened
Yang Wal Pin referred to his action
| in sending the names of Bow WOngS
to the imperial government, and told
him that HI would be killed for doing
so.
The consul and vice consul, Goo Kim,
have made purchases of weapons, or
ganized a guard at the Chinese legation
and secured the protection of the Homo
lulu police. Two officers are kept con-
stantly at the legation. Yang Wal Pin
made no official celebration of the
birthday of the emperor of China this
year, but the Bow WOngs got up d
celebration of their own. The consul
gave as a reason for not holding the
usual celebration that he had been in
structed not to have any by Minister
WI at Washington. 1t has been his
custom to hold a large reception at
the consulate
German residents of Honolulu
through Consul J. r. HaCkfeld, have
offered 200 men for the Chinese war,
the movement having been started DIS
soon as news came of the murder of
the German minister at Pekin Other
natiOnalities are taking the same steps.
Honolulu has over 1000 men who want
to go to China and fight. The offer
of their services goes by the steamer
Pekin today.

The burglar evidently gained an en-

SEVERAL FIGHTS

eigners We're advancing on pekin.
The Tsung Ii Yamens cablegram OF
July 80 is as follows:
Foreign ministers in Pekin are all
safe and we'll Recently, vegetables
fruit and provisions have been repeat
eddy supplied to them. Relations most
friendly. At present consultations are
going on for the protection of various

cluded satisfactorily.

grams should be sent

tive governments. Please inform the
foreign office. Besides wiring to other

"YU LIEN YUEN."
Viceroys Are Scared.
The steady prosecution of the mill
tary movements has undoubtedly
frightened the Chinese viCerOys who
have been sparring for time and en-
deayOring to use the diplomatic corps
at Pekin as a protection. The TSung
Ii Yamen dispatch received this morn
ing through Yuan and WI fairly il
Illustrated this condition and made it
plain that the imperial government is
again trying to force a suspension of
the advance on Pekin by menacing
the foreign ministers.
Having formally refused to put them
in communication with their govern
ment. and this having proved ineffect-
ual to stop the advance, it would not
be surprising if the Chinese govern
ment should next do one Of two things,
either come forward with a threat to
renew the attack on the legations if
the advance is not stopped or resort to
the plan of delivering the ministers at
Tien Tsin safely. or at least to the
commanders of the international col
umn and trusting in that way to abate
the force of the invasion and induce
the powers to consent to negotiations
for a. settlement Of the trouble.
1t is learned here that Ii Hung Chang
actually sought to do this, but sought
to make the condition for the safe de
livery of the ministers that the imper-
ial government should be blameless for
what had occurred at Pekin. This con-
ditiOn having been rejected abruptly
by the terms of President McKinley's
reply to the Chinese government, it
may be that Ii Hung Chang is trying
10 arrange for the delivery of the min
listers without conditions, trusting to
the gratitude of the powers to secure
the desired absOlution.
