recently received by him from the Marquis

to inform you that Sir c. Macdonald has
brought to my notice the conduct of GER
tain gentlemen who particularly distln-
tnguished themselves during the attacks on

able assistance both to him personally and
to the defense in general.
"Sir Claude mentions the names Of the
Rev. F. D. Gamewell Of the American
Methodist mission and Mr.. Herbert Squiers,
secretary Of the United States legation.
HE states that the Rev. F. d. Gamewell
carried out the entire defenses of the Brit

excited the admiration of the officers OF
various nationallties who have since In
spected them.
tons that Notwithstanding a constant rain
of rifle fire during the five weeks OF the
siege not a single woman or child in the
| legation suffered. He adds that deep
debt of gratitude is owed to him by all the
bes,eged.
Mr. Herbert Squiers acted in the ca
| pacity of Sir Claude's chief of staff after

Marines. Sir Claude mentions that his

were of great use in the defense. and that
