WAR ON CHRISTIANS
DECLARE THE BOXERS
Violent Anti-Foreign Pla-
cards Have Been Posted.
HOUSE TAX OBJECTED TO

If Collected Boxers Say They viii
Drive the Christians Out and De-
molish the Chapels - Threaten a
Great Rebellion.
CANTON, Aug. 1.-Violent anti-foreign
placards, emanating from the Boxers,
have been posted in the vicinity of the
Christian chapels. The placards protest
against the imposition of the house tax,
saying 1t is only exacted in order to
meet the indemnity to be paid to the
powers, and proceeds:
eff money can be obtained, why not
make war on the foreigners? China is
not yet defeated. 1t is only the gov
ernment's eyes which are blinded by
disloyal ministers. If we refuse to
fight, then it is a case of being greedy,
and fearing death. How Gag the care
fully studied military arts be used ex.
cept against foreigners? How can we
otherwise employ our regiments?
During 1901 much money will be col
lected through the lotteries, gambling
and general taxes But they were never
satisfied. Therefore, should the house
tax be collected, we will demolsh the
chapels and drive out the Christians
1t the emperor is unable to pay, we
Boxers have an excellent plan to gain a
victory over the foreigners Unless this
policy is adopted a great rebellion is
certain. -

which controls the men now out. has
submitted as a basis for the re. establish.
ment of peace the following propositions:
