Imperial Edict Issued Ordering Pun

sacre-Missions to Be Protected in
Future,

Washington, Nov. 6.-The state de-
partment, after conference with the
Eaval officials here and communication
by cable with Consul General Lay, at
Canton, China, has arranged that that
official shall accompany the viceroy of
Canton on Chinese gunboat to Lien
chow, about 800 miles up the. West
river, to investigate the massacre OF
the five Presbyterian missionaries at
that place. One or two American
naval officers from the gunboats
Quiros or Oallao will accompany Mr..
Lay to assist in the investigation.
To Punish Guilty Persons.
Hongkong, Nov. Gas a result Of
the recent massacre of American mis-
sionartes at Lienchow, an imperial
edict has been issued directing the
viceroy of Canton to furnish efficient
protection to the missions, to punish
all the guilty persons and to promise
the fullest redress, and warning him
that he will be held responsible for
further outrages and for the protec-
ton of the missions. The American
consul at Canton, Julius S. Lay, in an
interview declares that the dissemina-
ton of inflammatory boycott literature
is indirectly responsible for the mas,
sacre, and he has warned the isolated
station in Kwangtung and Kwangsi
of their danger in view of the fact that
the anti-American feeling is growing
stronger, and advising the departure
of the missionaries for their head sta
tons. The anti-American newspapers
are being distributed gratis, by junks
going up the rivers. The boycotters
at Canton were the first to receive
the names of the missionaries mas
sacred. Four Chinese gunboats and
S20 soldiers were proceeding to Ching
yuen, 80 miles south of Lienchow,
October 26.
Cause Of Tragedy.
London, Nov. GA dispatch to the
Daily Express from Hongkong says
that the Lienchau massacre of five
American missionaries was due to the
unhappy action of Mrs. Machle, who
on the refusal of some of the members
of native procession to desist from
worshiping the idols they carried,
seized the idols land declined to re-
store them to their owners. Thereupon
the Infatuated professionals surround
ed and destroyed the mission and as
saulted the inmates. They then MUIR
dered them and threw their bodies into
the river.
