BOXERS DRIVE OUT MISSIONARIES.
Twenty Americans, Fearing Massacre,
Leave Ta-Ming-Fu.

Shanghai Aug. 20.-A revival OF Boxerism is
reported from Ia -Ming-Fu, in the southwestern
part OF Pe-Chi-Li Province. 215 miles from
Tien-Tsin. Over twenty American missiona ries
including women and children. have been obliged
to leave Ta-Ming-Fu owing to an intended mas
sacre on the part OF the Boxers who call them
selves '"rsaiyun." The local telegraph company
refused 20 transmit message from these mis-
sionaries to the American Minister, Mr.. Conger,
at Pekiug. An English friend in Ho Nan for
warded their message. whereupon Yuan Shi
Kai, Viceroy Of Pe-Chi-Li Province, dispatched
urgent orders for their protection.
In view Of the fact that the local authorities
gave them no protection and there no hope
or continuing their work. the missionaries came
out. They travelled in safety.
Grave doubts are felt In some quarters here as
TO the real intentions OF Tie Hang, who is at
present absent from Peking on a visit to the
southern provinces. A similar mission under
taken by Kang vi before the Last Boxer rising is
recalled.
