handed, BLACK jack held up a Colo

ordered the engineer and fireman to un-
couple the engine and leave the train.
The conductor and mail agent opened

quickly changing the rifle to his left
shoulder he succeeded in wounding both

San Francisco, April 26-IE reference
TO the accusations of looting made
against missionaries, United States Con-
ger who arrived here last night, makes
the following statement:
1.-The Americans have a larger number
of missionaries out there than any other
nation and l am frank to say that under
the circumstances there are very few
things which the missionaries have done,
If any, for which there need be any
apology whatever The stories of their
looting are false, to my knowledge.
Advised to Pay Themselves.
Believing that our government would
not demand monetary indemnity for the
murder and pillaging of native Christians
I advised them that wherever they could
make a settlement themselves with the
villages where these murders or destruc-
ton of property had taken place, to
make them on their own responsibility.
Ii Hung Chang and Chang Yen Mao sug-
gested that settlements might be made in
this way with the least possible friction
There was no going out and compelling
the people to pay anything. 1t was alto
gether voluntary on their part.
Boxer Property Was Fair Game.
''The missionaries have been criticized
very severely for going. Immediately af-
ter the siege was raised, into abandoned
houses for shelter for themselves and the
native Christians who had been expelled
from their homes. l said: If there is d
Boxers inha abitation abandoned, take
possession of it so you can have place
in which to shelter and take care of the
native Christians.

Speaking of the siege, Mr.. Conger said
