Minister Conger Says Missionaries
Did Not Loot.
WHY PROPERTY WAS TAKEN.
He Declares That 1t Was Used to Re
lieye the Needs of Hundreds
of Suffering and Desti.
tute Chinese.

Victoria, April 24.--In an interview
In the Kobe Herald Minister Conger,
who is on his way to San Francisco,
said:
"There We're really no actions on the
part Of the missionaries that were not
entirely justified when the circum-
stances are known. Missionaries did
not loot. Missionaries found 1000 des-
titute men and women on their hands.
There was no government. no organ
lied authority,
."rhere We're houses of men who had
been firing on the foreign quarter, di-
recting the attacking, leaders of the
Boxers Their property had been
abandoned as n result of the state of
war, and it was taken to succor hun
dreds of suffering and destitute Chi
nese, whose lives the original owners
had been laborng to destroy. Winter
was coming on, and measures of some
kind We're imperative. and the apprO-
priation of property for the ends in
view was unquestionably justified.
"That, briefly. was the situation.
am prepared to justify the conduct of
| the American missionaries before the
siege, during the siege and after the
siege. II you wish to get at the facts
there is a missionary on board who
would probably give You all the par
ticulars you want"
Statement by DIR. Ament.
The missionary was DR. Ament, who
| told the reporter that goods taken by
| the so called loot committee We're those
| left by people who had sought refuge
| in the legation during the siege. These
goods We're taken to prevent their de-
struction. The clothes and bedding
| were given to men working upon tho
bairicades, and the committee handed
| Sir Claude Macdonald the key of the
room in which all the valuahles wer,
stored. Later the goods We're sold ant
| the proceeds distributed among tho
/ British soldiers. His mission received
| but $40.
| and curios was held and the X-Al0 net
ted given to the American mission
| board Most of the goods were takeI
from buildings that the military au
thorities had ordered burned. Some q
the goods We're restored to the owners
and other owners were recOmpense(
| for their losses.
DIR. Ament explained the sale of goods
in the Mongol princes house. where Ii,
took up his quarters by saying the,
We're without food ana sold the good:
on the advice Of Mr.. conger. Had the.
not taken possession the place woul,
have been destroyed by tile Russians
About $1,000 was realized by the sale
which was devoted to the needs Of til,
native Christians. DR.. Ament conclud
ed.
THE Chinese damned up the cana
and We're going to drown us out. The.
supposed the foreigners had subtelIa
mean burrows in which to take refug
and were certain thar underground
passages had been made from the lega
lion to the Flu. 81 they resolved t
drown us out like rats in Il trap"
